Magnetic pole shift. My new favourite catastrophe. Elon Musk believes in it.
I’ve heard that the Earth’s magnetic field is decreasing, leaving us more vulnerable to space weather.
Space weather?
Sure. Like, cosmic superstorms. There’s no protection against radioactive particles anymore – all these neutrons. Against gamma and X-rays from solar flares. All this ionized atomic matter from these mass ejections from the sun’s corona. It fucks up our DNA.
Yeah, but the pole shift is different. You get this crustal displacement. The upper mantle liquefies. Which leads to super-strong winds and massive tsunamis. The mass distribution of the Earth will change, apparently. Which will lead to a reorientation of the Earth’s rotational axis. Day length will change. There’ll be floods. That’s why all the billionaires are building doomsday bunkers and buying up loads of land.
Which will be underwater.
What about the Age of Aquarius? Isn’t that supposed to help?
