Which way is North?

Based on cocktail party research with a sample size of 6, my research team has concluded that most Americans do not know that the Earth's Magnetic Field is moving.

In fact, it's accelerating and will likely swap places with the South Pole, sometime after we are all dead. This has happened hundreds of times in the past, as documented by the alternating directions of magnetic ions in igneous rocks on the sea floor.

This is by far, the best link I have given you. Don't pass this opportunity by.

Thinking about the 2 or 3 Earth Science classes I took at College, I realized that I had been taught theories as 'Truth'. My scientific grounding may have been even more subjective than my pluralistic Anthropology/Philosophy background. My school had a unique theory about the extinction of the dinosaurs, a specific theory about the make up of the earth's core and why polarity switches occur, theories about volcanoes and earthquakes that are both in line and not in line with the predominant theory of non-consensus and dissent.

I was indoctrinated into a style, just like an apprentice learning at Sunday school or school of impressionists. I became one of Frankfurter's happy hot dogs (this is a law school joke about the liberal students of Former Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter who grew liberal-new-deal supporting law students like ears of corn.)
