Going on NOW - It's moving fast and very soon things may be completely different. The normally slow pole shift process may be accelerating at a rapid rate (NOTE: Subscribers can still listen to this show).
We know thepoles areshifting right now (as they do at regular intervals)?now weknow why.
It turns out that fluid in the center of the earth issloshing around, causing the poles to magnetically shift. InLiveScience.com, Jeremy Hsu writes, "The last major changein the field took place some 780,000 years ago during amagnetic reversal,...
Although most of us aren't aware of it (except those of you who come to our web site regularly!) there is a pole shift going on right now, which is part of a regular cycle. But something even bigger may have happened in the past: earth flop. And it could happen AGAIN.
Around 800 million years ago, the earth may have spun on its side to...
The ongoing pole reversal, which is occurring right now, temporarily weakens the radiation shield around the earth, meaning that a burst of gamma rays could incinerate the planet. Thankfully, observations by the Hubble space telescope tell us that this is not a danger in the near future.
We recently reported that the Earth's magnetic field is moving fast, meaning that magnetic North and South will soon switch places in a pole shift. Geologists know that this has happened before, and when it does, it confuses birds because they navigate partly through magnetic areas in their brains.
KTVU in California reports that in late...
Now that the magnetic pole reversal is in progress, somebirds are having trouble migrating and are ending up in thewrong places. They're also leaving at the wrong time,because global warming is giving them false signals. It'sbecome important for scientists to understand how birdsnavigate.

We recently speculated that 1,500homing pigeonsin Sweden that never returned home may have been confused bythe changing magnetic poles. But some people think they gotlost due to electronic signals from nearby cell phone towers.
The Swedish homing pigeons aren't the only onesmissing?about 1,600 pigeons vanished out of 1,800 competingin a...
Officials in North Dakota are looking for 27,000 American white pelicans that are missing. They've abandoned their summer nesting grounds?leaving their eggs unhatched?at the Chase National Wildlife Refuge.
"It's like they packed up and left in the middle of the night?except they didn't pack up, they just left," says Ken Torkelson of the...
After reading Poles Ready to Flip and Magnets Can Change Your Mind, and Whitley's newest Journal, you've sent us lots of e-mail about the upcoming magnetic pole reversal on the Earth. Now you can see what a pole shift will look like (and read more about it).
