WTF?! The magnetic field reversed? So, you're telling me that now when I wear my metal boots outside, I'm in danger of being flung off the face of the Earth? OMG!!


Wait, I don't own any metal boots...

I knew earth has a magnetic field. But never knew that it reverses once in a while. I had no idea that the sun had a magnetic field nor that it changes every 11 years or so.

Based upon the study of lava flows of basalt throughout the world, it has been proposed that the Earth's magnetic field reverses at intervals, ranging from tens of thousands to many millions of years, with an average interval of approximately 250,000 years. The last such event, called the Brunhes-Matuyama reversal, is theorized to have occurred some 780,000 years ago.
