Q & A
What is the main topic discussed in this episode of Cosmic Catastrophe?
-The main topic discussed is the ongoing magnetic excursion, its effects on mass extinctions, and evolutionary leaps, as explained by Robert Felix.
What is a magnetic excursion, and how does it differ from a magnetic reversal?
-A magnetic excursion is a short-term instability in Earth's magnetic field where the magnetic poles wander significantly but do not fully reverse. In contrast, a magnetic reversal is a complete flip of the magnetic poles.
How do scientists predict the timing of the next magnetic pole flip?
-Scientists cannot predict exactly when the Earth's magnetic poles will flip, but some suggest it could happen in the 2030s. These reversals are random and can occur over a wide range of time scales.
What historical evidence suggests that magnetic excursions are linked to mass extinctions?
-Studies of radiolaria extinctions and geological records have shown correlations between magnetic excursions and mass extinctions, suggesting that increased cosmic radiation during these periods could cause significant biological impacts.
What are some potential technological impacts of a magnetic excursion?
-A magnetic excursion could damage electronic devices, disrupt power grids, and affect communication systems. Low orbit satellites and surface infrastructure might need redesigning to cope with increased radiation.
How might animals be affected by magnetic excursions?
-Animals that rely on Earth's magnetic field for navigation could become disoriented. This includes species like whales, birds, and certain bacteria with magnetite in their bodies.
Why might human activities need to change during a magnetic excursion?
-Increased solar radiation due to a weakened magnetic field could make it dangerous to be outside during the day. This might lead to increased rates of skin cancer and other health issues, necessitating changes in daily routines.
What evidence supports the idea that magnetic excursions can lead to evolutionary changes?
-Research has shown that periods of low magnetic field strength are associated with increased UV radiation, which can cause mutations and drive evolutionary changes. The lambert magnetic excursion is one example that coincides with significant evolutionary events.
How do magnetic excursions affect the climate?
-Magnetic excursions can lead to climatic changes due to increased cosmic rays, which can make the Earth cloudier and cooler. This has been linked to past glaciation events.
What role did Robert Felix play in the study of magnetic excursions and their effects?
-Robert Felix was one of the first to propose that magnetic excursions and reversals could cause evolutionary leaps and mass extinctions. His work, though initially criticized, has gained recognition as more evidence supports his theories.

ladies and gentlemen welcome back to
another episode of cosmic catastrophe on
revolution. radio I am your host diamond
from the Oppenheimer Ranch project and
joining us today is my lovely partner
and co-host Leah schaper hello welcome
great show today we're going to be
talking about a topic that many people
have on their minds the ongoing magnetic
Excursion and the title of the show is
magnetic excursions mass extinctions and
evolutionary
leaps Allah Robert Felix yes God Rest
his soul we'll get to his little tribute
a little later in the show but what can
we uh what can we discuss in the next
hour we're going to go over what these
magnetic excursions are what we know
about them which is actually very
little and what happens during them and
how the science has rolled out since the
first paper in the early 1970s which
correlated extinctions of radial area
with Magnetic reversals and to where we
got we got to today with uh 15 years ago
Robert Felix writing the book magnetic
reversals and evolutionary leaps and a
paper coming out showing that the
lamp magnetic Excursion was a mass
extinction event and explaining why that
is what happens during these events is
very bad things happen to the Earth
because more and more radiation come in
we'll get to the specifics on that as we
move through the program first uh we're
going to start sharing the screen let me
know when you can see the
screen okay so is your uh speaker real
close to your
mic no I'm echoing for some reason okay
any okay let me let me just turn them
for you could be
me so I asked AI a little bit about
what's going on I said when will the
polles flip that's
simple and it said scientists can't
predict when Earth's magnetic poles will
flip but some say it could happen in the
2030s these reversals go ahead I I was
just saying that's not very far away
right these reversals are random and can
occur anywhere from 10,000 to 50 million
years with the last one happening
780,000 years ago when the polls flip
what currently North becomes South and
vice versa now Earth's magnetic field
has been weakening over the past few
thousand years and if it decays enough
what happens is it could collapse and
cause the poles to
flip that is not normally what happens
though what normally happens is an
Excursion uh the holes near the flipping
point but they bounce back and so what
we have is many more excursions in
between these
reversals and in fact we've had dozens
of excursions since the last reversal
780,000 years ago Each of which
corresponds to a mass extinction and
evolutionary leaps as we move through
the geologic
record now I'm a little bit confused
about one thing and maybe you can clear
this up for me and the rest of the
audience so the lamp is only considered
an Excursion even though there was
actually a polarity flip uh that some
scientists claim there was a polarity
flip for a short period of time but it
went back to the normal
polarity right which is what this paper
that we're going to review that's that's
the conclusion that they reach from
their data is that there's a brief
period of polarity reversal that then
quickly flips back
now that might be an artifact of a not
being around 42 41,500 years ago and B
some of the reconstructions don't show
polarity reversal but what they show is
four or five poles showing up at the
same time all over the globe not
necessarily North and South flipping so
that type of field strength confusion
could show a polarity reversal and we're
going to look at the World mag uh
magnetic model map and you can see how
that's possible when we look at the
field strength of Earth MH even though
we're spinning North and South Pole on
this rotational pole the North and South
poles are never almost never near the
rotational poles sure and they're both
on one side one hemisphere
currently which is very bizarre so as
the poles move towards the equator
during these excursions that gets so
weak that other poles spontaneously pop
up
and if you had compasses all over the
world there would be no consensus on
where the north magnetic pole would be
there would be all over the place right
and and and all and with those multiple
poles all of the poles would be
significantly weaker than a a a strong
dipole north south
dipole yeah they're they're so weak that
it affects our uh magnetosphere it
affects the amount of radiation coming
in and that's when the bad news
happens we don't need a full polarity
reversal to get bad effects to get M
extinctions uh in fact we have the
evidence we're going to show you here
that the lamp even um the Gothenburg
Excursion which occurs during the
younger dras event very weak Excursion
but there's still mass extinctions yeah
now whether that is related to increased
cosmic rays and
UV or another catastrophe which we've
speculated about maybe a giant impact
and subsequent impacts or something like
that but so let's discuss real quick a
general overview of what happens during
these
excursions the first thing that can
happen in our technological world is we
could see damage to
technology a magnetic Excursion could
destroy electronic devices Like
Satellites home appliances wireless
devices could disrupt power grids and
communication systems potentially cause
in trillions of do dollars in
Damages and to deal with the extra
radiation low orbit satellites and
surface infrastructure on Earth would
need to be redesigned because it's
currently not designed for anything
that's coming and what I mean by coming
is increased energy into our planet
power grids pipelines and Railways would
need to be protected from these
geomagnetically induced currents flowing
through the
Earth especially during solar storms so
what we just saw with the superstorm of
2024 in May was Aurora to the equator
and it wasn't that big of a storm we did
get to kp9 but it wasn't even as strong
as the 2003 storm which knocked out um a
few things but certainly didn't see the
same amount of aora no so what we're
definitely seeing is some of the effects
of the weakening magnetosphere
yeah and the weaker it gets the more
damage to technology the more
superstorms we have the more failures
we'll see I don't think it's going to be
one big boom it could be it could be if
a foreign entity shoots off an EMP
device then it's then the grid goes down
sure but I think go ahead as you and I
have discussed too some of this is about
duration too right so if the the recent
superstorm that we had had that been
going on for a longer period of time if
there had been more sort of pulsing
electricity through the whole system we
would have seen a lot more damage that
just didn't
happen exactly so the Carrington event
lasted for days yeah meaning the the
solar storm lasted for days the Aurora
could be seen all night for day after
day for three days even down towards the
equator in
Cuba so what I think is the next large
flare event or or solar storm that we
have that's equivalent to the last one
as we see more more and more of the
magnetosphere waning and our field
strength weakening we're going to see
more of this infrastructure damage we'll
see some satellites
reentering maybe the news will try to
cover it up maybe not we we'll
definitely see some blackouts or or some
things bad things happening especially
with the
internet because uh what you have uh
first to go is going to
be navigation because that's we use
satellites for that so if you fry these
navigation satellites it starts to
affect the infrastructure on the planet
as a whole right and then uh one of the
other things in that is um uh the what
is it the GPS timing signal or whatever
that gets affected in here so even if a
navigation satellite doesn't go out that
timing signal tends to mess with devices
ability to sort of connect to those
systems and we're about to show you how
fast the North Pole has moved since the
1800s it will blow your mind if you
never seen a simulation um how fast it's
moving and how fast it's been moving in
the last 20 years it's it moved so fast
in the last 10 years that the world
magnetic model had to update before its
normal update this was because
navigation was becoming difficult up in
the high
latitudes ships were off by hundreds of
miles which is is very bad if you're
trying to conserve fuel let's say yeah
and the normal update is only like every
five years right yes once every five
years so that timing is going to have to
I mean given that the rate of movement
is exponential that timing is going to
have to increase substantially year
after year it's actually is more
variable than you think it has been
increasing the speed of the poll but in
the last year or so it's actually
decreased it's still moving quick yeah
yes all right so we have all of the
damage to technology and infrastructure
possible this is going to occur during
solar storms not just a weak magnetic
field so we're going to need a big solar
storm to come in as the field is
weakening and then we're going to get
these technological uh
effects now all the while we're going to
be seeing disorientation for Animals
we've started to see this at least 10
years ago uh with tons and tons of
different types of whales and animals
beaching and scientists are baffled
right
and the worst thing is that we may not
be able to go outside during the day
because of increased solar
radiation magnetic uh excursions can
expose the biosphere to increased levels
of solar and Cosmic radiation which
could potentially lead to environmental
disturbances increased cancer
rates uh according to National
Geographic the atmosphere below the the
stratosphere could help act as a
shield I don't know how that
works I mean the other thing that that
that is at play here that um both the
2021 paper that we're going to talk
about and the 1971 paper talk about um
is that the that that that these
magnetic changes can also result in
climactic changes as
well yes indeed now many scientists even
when I was an Academia said the for
years there's no relationship no
connection between reversals and
excursions and mass extinctions or the
climate no connection and I don't know
why that was their position because it
doesn't make any scientific sense no not
at all the variable sun is what controls
the heat on earth right but yet still
today this new pseudoscience field
called climate science does not
recognize the Sun as what is heating our
Earth that's insane right that is insane
well and then the other irony in here is
that it would seem that one of the major
mechanism mechanisms for climactic
change via VIA electromagnetic change
disturbance is depletion of the ozone
layer right which is going to let heat
Escape so I mean given the the the ozone
whole scare in the past and global
warming now that's kind of
funny yeah uh but the destruction of the
ozone the temperature is not the
critical factor with no ozone you start
to get UVC coming to the surface so
increase UVA UVB right that that's going
to mean if you stand in the sun
unprotected your skin will fry yes it
also may cause
mutations and this is one of the leading
drivers of what Robert Felix latched on
to years ago as the driver or the driver
of evolution yeah it's not darwinian
Evolution it's the
sun
[Laughter]
yeah all right
so and also so all this information that
we're talking about is all coming in in
the last two decades when prior to that
scientists didn't believe that these
magnetic reversals or excursions did
anything in fact the position was that
the reversals took thousands of years
and that they were hardly
noticeable the only problem with that is
with new studies the more you look the
more you find and just north of a truck
stop along Interstate 80 in Nevada is a
place called Battle Mountain there is
evidence that the Earth's magnetic field
went haywire in fact it showed a 58
degree shift shift in a single
day that is insane wow that means the
poll going from the North Pole to the
equator in 18
hours I don't even I don't understand
how you track that though how do you get
data resolution that's high enough to
see that it was in a lava flow that has
high
resolution uh datable material and it's
a more recent lava flow it just so
happened that this volcano erupted one
day and then again the next day right
right and it is erupting very regularly
in these sheets of perfectly locked in
magnetites that show the magnetic field
at that moment yeah we'll just read what
they have to say
here one particular flow caught the
scientists attention because it seemed
to carry a complex magnetic history this
lava B says that's probably the author
initially started to cool and then it
was heated again within a year as fresh
lava flow buried
it the fresh lava remagnetized the
crystals within the rock below causing
them to reorient themselves a whopping
53 degrees at the rate the lava would
have cooled so that's how they know they
know the cooling rate okay that's how
they that's what they based it on that
would mean that the magnetic field was
changing Direct ction at approximately
one degree per week okay so this is a
little longer time frame yeah this is
not not a 18
hours little longer time
frame not all experts are convinced uh
by the work here a Paleo magneti at
Ruckers University in Piscataway New
Jersey I love to say
that says it would be a curious
coincidence to have two brief lava flows
just happen to cool and capture a 53
degree change Direction when reversals
happen only a few times per million
years that guy is so off
base that's not a reason to reject the
evidence well he's so off base because
let me just pull up this graph this is
the magnetic field strength in just
300,000 years yeah and it goes back and
forth all the time not it's not in a
million-year time scale well it's also
not on a schedule there's literally
shifts up and down in hundreds of years
yeah yeah so apparently these scientists
don't get the memo yeah now real quick
let's watch this
video we'll describe it to you it's
going to show the movement of the North
Pole in recent
time I can't hear
anything
okay so
so in the late 1800s the pole was moving
at a mere nine miles per year and it
increased to over 40 miles a year as
it's accelerated towards the present you
could see the distance on this that it
moved in just 17 years absolutely
astounding
yeah and so something big as a foot and
it's basically all the evidence we need
that we are in the next
Excursion now what are the
implications uh we both I shared you
this article upheaval and extinctions
linked to Magnetic reversals 42,000
years
ago just like the Battle Mountain site
where they've got lava that they're
speculating records the magnetic field
on Earth what they uncovered was a Corey
tree a tree that was alive during this
excursion and in inside of the tree
obviously you can do all kind of dating
and what they specifically were looking
for was burum 10 because this burum
tends to rain down on Earth when the
magnetic field is exceptionally weak
it's how we date magnetic excursions
magnetic reversals and other Cosmic
events we use buril they also looked at
Radioactive carbon4 in this as well yeah
there was several proxies they looked at
but what was most astonishing in to me
was the multiple buril 10
spikes over the period of the reversal
or the Excursion it wasn't a reversal
because even though the polarity
reversed for this short period it went
back to normal yeah it went back to
normal how many years yeah 300 years
roughly okay but during the
entire event as the field strength gets
lower and then recovers you've got 1 2 3
4 5 6 7 eight buril 10
spikes so what is that
showing it's showing that the magnetic
field is very weak during this time
period period and we're getting a lot of
radiation from space but there's a cycle
inside of the cycle hundreds of years
this could be the grand Minima cycle
every two two or 400 years of the sun
getting stronger and weaker yeah and
they do talk about that in this paper
that that grand solar Minima I think
they're talking about sort of two of in
in succession contributed in this
situation amazing yeah amazing when all
this information starts to come together
I know
right the some of the correlations that
they showed in this paper are so
interesting like if you look at um oh
where is
it maybe I'm thinking of the other no uh
figure
four you start to see all of these
correlations between uh climactic
changes and weather patterns and uh
extinctions etc etc there's a lot of
stuff going on in this time frame right
at the point where the PO the polarity
seems to be
reversed yeah all of these weak field
strengths what they started to find was
it had an ice it had an Ice Age signal
yeah uh major glaciers in Argentina are
growing 41,500 years go we have the
rapid expansion of the renti ice sheet
so weak field strength equals
cold why do you think that's
happening because because it correlates
with Grandin solar Minima as well right
so increase cosmic rays what do we now
know through the cloud experiment cosmic
rays make it cloudy yeah and if you have
a cloudy Earth it's cold underneath the
clouds yeah let's do a thought
experiment is it warmer on a sunny day
or a cloudy
day we should really thought experiment
we should have all the climate
scientists in one room and that's how we
start
right so we're in the next magnetic
Excursion with increased cosmic
rays how many cosmic rays is it
increased well the highest cosmic ray
level ever recorded was back in 2010 the
cosmic ray maximum the second highest
was in 2020 these are the minimas
between solar Cycles mhm the minimum
we're going into will probably be the
highest cosmic ray flux ever recorded in
modern
times that's just my opinion another
interesting thing to note look over here
on the left of the ohulu chart this is
the spike from the superstorm May 11th
of this year it drove cosmic rays up to
incredible levels levels seen at the uh
solar minimum in an instant and then
they recovered they went way down and
now they're coming back to normal here
interesting so it actually spiked up to
above four right see it there which is
up here yeah that's kind of interesting
so huge event
there uh okay let's get back to this
paper
any other points that you wanted to talk
about
here because we're going to get into the
more specific paper that has the better
graphs with uh that shows the mass
extinctions in Australia 1971 paper or
the quaternary paper the quary paper
yeah well I mean one of the things that
really struck me reading this paper is
you've got multiple you've got many
things going on at once like like the
correlations that we were just showing
in ago and so in terms of the impact on
biological
life it it seems pretty clear to me now
that there's multiple impacts right
you've got the excess radiation which is
going to contribute to extinctions and
mutations um then you also have the
change in climate that is occurring
around the world in different ways which
also will impact the ability of
biological life to to survive and
continue on and then you also have the
the what's the right word the bio
there's a word for it like I'm I'm just
going to say biomagnetic that's not
really the right term but the
biomagnetic effect where you have lots
of creatures that are depending on a
magnetic field to guide them in their
navigation um and there's actually now
some great research um showing ex you
know how how this works um but those
animals are going to be affected as well
in terms of where they're migrating and
their ability to get to where they need
so you've got all kinds of things going
on that are going to impact the survival
of different species and every species
seems to have a greater or lesser
ability to adapt to this so some species
will go away some species will mutate it
would seem um some may make it as they
are yeah and in the G in the geologic
record when you're looking uh at the
paleontology and you see these lineages
that move through time they abruptly end
and on the other side of the boundary
there's all new species so this is
giving us a clearer picture of what
happens as the cosmic rays are
increasing and the radiation is
bombarding Earth
causing death and destruction at the
same time mutation the entire biome is
getting mixed up and the these mutated
creatures that show up spontaneously in
this new environment where they can
thrive
they just stay there and the old species
that couldn't make it is gone and so
that might add more evidence to why this
is happening so abruptly and give some
Credence to that punctuated equilibria
idea coming out um in the early
90s yeah uh most certainly and
um that was n Eldridge and who else one
other guy
uh Google it was it Dawkins was Dawkins
part of that I can't
remember it'll come to me so we've got
this Global Environmental crisis 42,000
years ago this is the
most recent comprehensive paper on this
type of topic 2021 so in a few years we
should be seeing something come out uh
some better information this was
launched after they found this Corey
tree and so that was a recent discovery
I believe it was in a mudbog an oxic
environment for 42,000 years and then
they just dug it up and there's a tree
well and it was a really fortuitous
Discovery too because this is a tree
that lived for like 1700 years something
like that you know it happened to get
preserved in this bog um how fortunate
is that and the result is that it it
provided some really high resolution
data about what was going on with the
magnetic field at the time yeah because
if you don't know trees have anular
rings and so there is a very high
resolution data set on that Cory tree
yeah I I just want to back up for one
second because I was going to say
something a minute ago that I forgot and
now I've remembered the the 1971 paper
this is regarding um you know the the
effect on biological organisms kind of
makes the very good point at one point
in the paper
that it's almost as if and they don't
say this but it's almost as if these
magnetic excursions were and reversals
kind of provide like a biological reset
so had you know had any of these
reversals or extinctions gone on for any
longer than they have you would have
more and more the longer we have a
period of stability in the magnetic
field the more and more species you're
going to have that are going to
disappear post Excursion and reversal so
it's kind of interesting to think about
right because that period of stability
gives you a period of time to accumulate
all of these organisms that require a
strong magnetic field to survive so it's
kind of interesting in that respect
yeah
so the paper in 71 was looking at
radiolaria yeah it's they're also
referred to as radioa these are protozoa
of tiny diameter 0.1 to 02
millimeters that produce intricate
mineral skeletons and these are used in
highresolution dating of sediments
because they are
pervasive and they show up uh all over
the oceans at different periods so
they're really good as
biomarkers so sometimes if uh if you're
on land you're looking for pollen
because it gets preserved like this but
if you're in Sea sediments or in ocean
water sediments you're looking for
radiolaria uh paleontologists also use
foraminifer these are all different tiny
microscopic uh creatures that you can
look at quickly in a in a lab and
identify a time period based on what
you're looking at right there
yeah so a study back in 1971 of 28 deep
sea cores from high and low latitudes
show that during the last 2.5 million
years which is the ice
age eight species of radiolaria became
extinct now prior to their Extinction
these species were widely distributed
and became extinct this is important
isochronously it's hard to say that word
do you have trouble
no not really so isochronously simply
means everywhere at the same time how
does how do you go extinct all over at
the same
time well they looked into it six of the
eight species disappeared in close
proximity to Magnetic reversals recorded
in the
sediment the odds of this happening are
zero that it's a that it's an
accident so the probability of six out
of eight species extinctions showing
this degree of correlation with
reversals by chance is extremely small
and this in 1971 launches Robert Felix's
book yeah well and they they even find
too like let's say out of those eight
like the six that went extinct all had
sort of a similar structure they had
this more like elongated structure
whereas the the the two that made it had
more of a round structure just
suggesting the possibility that certain
of these
radii have uh an adaptation which allows
them to survive a weak magnetic sphere
field whereas the others don't you know
there's a mechanism in there it points
to a mechanism in there somewhere yeah
and I believe we even discussed a paper
that was talking about hominid species
how neander was less was more
susceptible to the magnetic Excursion
than homo sapien sapien I don't remember
that it had to do with melanin and the
skin or some genan huh Yeahs us from UVB
but not them yeah we'll get to that if
we have time yeah but a big shout out
God Rest his soul Robert Felix he came
to Leon he sold out of all his books he
signed them for everyone for free he
gave us a couple copies this book is now
worth hundreds of dollars on
Amazon we should probably give away one
of those copies at an event or something
raffle it off yeah um he was attacked
immediately by the entire scientific
Community if you go into his archived
website and you read uh some of the
comments 2011 and then you scroll
through to the present you see
scientists in there that said I called
you a quack and I was wrong like they're
all as more and more papers come out
corroborating everything that Robert
said I think he may rise up as an icon
in the future hopefully you can't find
much stuff on him anymore but hopefully
people will start referencing him in the
future yeah he was one of the first to
point out the fact that these magnetic
reversals can happen overnight in in in
just a few years without warning um he
was pointing out that world governments
knew about this they're not telling
anyone in fact to gain more
understanding of our magnetic field
that's the claim in 2010 the esa that's
the European Space Agency launched
swarm these satellites are specifically
to monitor the magnetic
field um why do you think that they
spent all those millions of
dollars because because the elites want
to know when they need to go underground
that's why and they're not going to tell
the public about it because they can't
do anything about it they can't arrive
as the saviors so you know they can
pretend to be the saviors of so
so-called climate change right you know
say oh we have to do all these things
and we have to use EVs and solar panels
and all this stuff and then meanwhile
just make Bank on
it yeah the Earth's magnetic field
protects us from deadly cosmic rays the
powers that be know this deep
underground military bases are real and
for a purpose not only nuclear
war and uh as the magnetic field
strength decays which it's now doing
Cosmic radiation will get closer and
closer and increase more and
more and according to Robert Felix this
radiation is what causes evolutionary
leaves there is data to sgg uh to
support this and huge mounds of data
came from this paper in 2019 the role of
geomagnetic field intensity in late
quinary evolution of humans and large
mammals it has been long speculated that
biological evolution was influenced by
ultraviolet radiation reaching the
Earth's surface despite imprecise
Knowledge from the timing of both uvr
flux and evolutionary events the past
strength of Earth's D dipole field
provided a proxy for this uvr flux
because of its role in maintaining the
ozone so they're using field strength to
determine the amount of ozone as a proxy
they're not really measuring
ozone um and so the timing of cordiner
evolutionary events has become better
constrained by fossil finds and
radiometric dating and
well this paper is the first to suggest
that it's UV that is causing speciation
and that and mass extinction and it's
occurring on these very low field
strength intervals like the Blake the
lamp the Mono Lake the Gothenburg
Excursion all correspond to visible
paleontological signs where there is
mass extinction followed by new
species you can see it on almost all of
the field strength fluctuations
especially when it dips low the most
significant is here the lamp Excursion
that ended the neander tals and made us
king of planet Earth yeah if it wasn't
for that Excursion we may not have
YouTube oh darn can you imagine that
yeah well how people get this
information right right um and and as as
been pointed out and I I think maybe
we'll get more into to this but there's
the proliferation of cave painting that
occurs at the lamp as well right like so
obviously you have theander tals and
anatomically modern human beings at the
same
time uh spending more time in caves
which makes sense because if there's
that much radiation you're going to feel
that when you're outside like you said
you know if the UV gets high high enough
your skin fries during the day and you
can no longer go outside so it would
help explain the explosion of cave
paintings and the the existence of cave
dwellings all around the world
underground whole underground cities
even in some places it's not an accident
right um and a lot of it is happening
between 41,000 and 32,000 years which is
all during this massive Excursion event
yeah yeah we we'll get to some of the
specifics if we have time because I
think
that not only does speciation occur on
these intervals I think that something
jumpstarted see we had been around
already prior to this excursion humans
we just weren't painting in caves
there's no evidence of it so it maybe
the increased cosmic rays has something
to do with our increased
intellect yeah something on the Yuga
cycle type idea where there these long
scale Cycles where we increase
and decrease in
intellect I still want to know though
what really is the difference let's say
in this respect um in terms of ability
to deal with uh low magnetic field what
is the difference exactly between
neander talls and anatomically modern
humans you know like what because
because it is clear that we're both you
know sort of conditionally adapting by
spending more time in
caves but why did we make it and
ultimately neander did not
good question about 40,000 years ago
Mamon fossils in Australia and
Eurasia record an important die off of
large mammals that included neander tals
in
Europe in the Americas in Europe a large
M mamalian die off appeared to have
occurred 13,000 years ago both die offs
are linked to Earth's magnetic field
strength
implying uvr flux variations in Earth's
surfac influenced Maman Evolution so
it's the UV that's
it you know I remember reading I mean
that's what they're claiming in the
paper yeah um you know it's interesting
too though that the the the 2021 paper
that we were looking at earlier also
notes that there was also disappearance
of some of the first European
anatomically modern human
cultures so it wasn't so the the 21 2021
paper that we were looking at earlier
also notes that there was some
disappearance of certain anatomically
modern human groups at the same time so
we weren't adapting all that easily
either yeah it go this goes on to say
that for the last 200,000 years
estimates of timing of branching
episodes in the human evolutionary tree
from Modern and fossil DNA and Y
chromosones can all be linked to Minima
in the field strength which implies a
long-term role for the uvr in human
evolution fascinating yeah that's
amazing it's like the direct link
between UV radiation and genetics new
fossil fines improved fossil dating
knowledge of past strength of Earth's
magnetic field which is increasing every
year and refinements in the human
evolutionary tree are sharpening the
focus on a possible link between uvr
arriving at Earth's surface the magnetic
field strength and events in Maman
Evolution I mean it's interesting to
Robert fix nailed it my goodness yeah he
did it's interesting too that there's an
implication in here that it's not just
let's say say there's an increase in
radiation and therefore there's an
increase in cancer and then species die
off no it's not like that it's like yes
species die off due to lack of
adaptability and maybe there's cancer in
there but there's also change that
improves uh adaptability as well it's
not all evolutionary change and genetic
change for the worst there's also
genetic change for the better so there's
a probably a lot of different mechanisms
in the in the genetics going on here
yeah and it could also be simple
acceptation if you've never heard of
that term uh when when everything gets
mixed up we've got all this radiation
coming in there is an a group of
whatever is living in this area that has
something that it wasn't using before
that becomes advantageous in this new
realm yeah and the other creatures die
off while this guy who is never really
prolific uh they a new species is
burgeoning so so that they they
proliferate everywhere and they show up
in the fossil record they were might
have always been there but it wasn't
until this shift that their ecological
niche came true and then they became
king of the land so and that's what
acceptation is it's an accident yeah
just an accident that you're in the
right place at the right time when
something shifts and you've got
something that is advantageous during
that
shift that's interesting um there might
even be evidence for that in the 1971
paper when we get there
oh we you want to go back there well we
could I mean I'm not exactly entirely
sure yet but um acceptation you said
would be the just the shape The
Accidental
shape right but but also I'm thinking
about so there's all of these graphs in
the in this paper of the the the the PO
the population numbers of the V various
roli and it's kind of interesting
because in many cases there seems to be
uh a phenomena where there's like a
there's a there's a change in the
magnetic field strength and it maybe
initially negatively affects the
population numbers and then things kind
of stabilize for a while and the
population explodes again and then
there's another shift and it just drops
it's almost as if like it reminded me of
you know how sometimes plants when
they're facing their death will suddenly
flower as if to try to prolong their own
Evolution yeah they try to make
seeds yeah so it's it kind of reminded
me of that um as if there's an attempt
to use what you've got to kind of make
it through the circumstances but then
the circumstances change again and then
you're done yeah I can see that on this
graph there's recovery at the end of the
Excursion events every time huge Spike
here and then it just drops off to
nothing yeah yeah but there's another sh
sh that's happening at the end there
which I guess would be the reason
why so it's so it's like for every shift
that's like there's a shift and then
there's a decrease and then there's some
ability to adapt in those new
circumstances and the population takes
off again and then as soon as there's
another shift Everything Changes all
over so so maybe in those population
explosions it's like that acceptation
occurring yeah one small group hangs on
for a while but then it doesn't matter
anyway yeah
yeah what are we going to do well the
good news is that this is like we said
the magnetic field year after year is
slowly weakening so it's not going to
just surprise us uh any effects that
will occur will slowly occur it'll be
harder and harder to work during the day
outside and we'll probably pattern
ourselves to be inside more often during
the day and go out at dusk or in the
morning yeah and it's the same with like
all of of the species of animals that
use magnetic fields to
navigate um there's some awesome work
from I think
2022 that proves let's say for as an
example that um salmon and trout have
they actually have magnet clusters of
magnetite in their nose and that it is
affected by magnetic field strength so
it's like they were looking for the the
mechanism um that allows animals to
navigate this way and they've
definitively found it it's interesting
too because there's some other bacteria
what are they're called they're called
magnet magnetotactic bacteria that also
produce these long chains of magnetite
crystals um so it's it's it's
interesting to and and part of the
supposition of this paper is that this
is a really really really old
evolutionary um uh adaptation that
exists in many uh many animals but it
but it derives back from these bacteria
it's kind of
interesting yeah and here's a paper the
the paper conservation of magnetite
biomineralization genes in all domains
of life and implications for magnetic
sensing in the paper they present a
model of biogenic magnetite formation in
UK
carots uh and did they find that this
was happening
yeah it's there I mean they're they're
you know they're the finding they find
the magnetite right we know of tons of
species that that um have magnetite in
their bodies that's being used I mean
this is everything from like birds to
fish to I mean we have it in our bodies
as well to
bacteria um and obviously for these
animals if the magnetic field strength
is weakening then over time it's going
to start becoming more and more
difficult for them to navigate um using
magnetic fields so that's another slow
change that will occur you know and
maybe some of those animals will adapt
differently to be able to navigate in
low field strength I don't know yeah
there's there's human health risks that
will slowly increase if you come look
here at the geomagnetic score chart in
the center that would be uh what we're
we will be experiencing as the magnetic
Excursion intensifies and the field
weakens uh we could see increase in
acute myocardial INF artion cerebral
stroke terminal arhythmia anxiety stress
emotional instability cognitive
dimunition uh an uptick in traffic
accidents and work injuries suicide risk
mental disorder flare up severe
radiation risk if you're flying at high
latitudes I mean at some point we may
have to ground flights especially during
geomagnetic storms oh yeah
so
yeah what were you gonna say I was I'll
just I me we already talked about this
but obviously also with a weakened
magnetic field that's introduces a lot
of navigation problems as well the
planes made me think of
it yeah well I we're going to go
straight back to the Stone Age the the
first geomagnetic storm that's strong
enough is going to take low earth orbit
satellites and fry them and they goodbye
GPS goodbye navigation
goodbye Earth as we know it they could
be local deliveries but there'll be no
computers or Internet like how are we
going to do it back to pencil and paper
it's going to take a while to figure out
how to get the milk to the store
again yeah yeah I mean we've completely
lost sight of how to operate just in a
local and Regional manner which is our
biggest downfall as a society right like
I always like to use the example of um
monoculture agriculture these giant
agricultural operations that you can't
just pick up and move as the conditions
change but if you're operating on a
local and a regional Le level you have a
much greater ability to adapt so it's
going to be a hard um a hard
transition but maybe something good will
come out of it oh yeah just like during
uh the leant magnetic Excursion all of a
sudden we're stuck in these caves and we
start painting yeah
now they thought the first painters for
30 and 40,000 years ago were men because
caves are dark and scary and men would
have to use a torch to go in there and
it'd be very difficult and blah blah
blah they did an an an analysis here in
uh Castillo cave and they found out
based on the size and length of the
fingers that these are mostly female
hands well and it's like it's even more
specific than that it's like the ratio
of the finger lengths to this Palm I
think yeah that's exactly
correct uh now am I stuck in here yeah
so this is the cave of El Castillo in
case you don't know about it or the Cave
of the castle it's an archaeological
site within the complex of caves of
Monte Castillo in pente
vco
Spain
so the cave contains the oldest known
cave painting period
a large red stippled disc in the pan
deas Manos was dated to 40,000 years old
using uranium thorium
dating so right around this magnetic
Excursion maybe we're so bored in the
caves we have to come up with something
to do because it just becomes insanely
boring in there I I I it's like to me
this is it's not it's not that unusual
to think about it I think human beings
have an innate need to express things so
if you're stuck in caves that's where
the expression is going to
land yeah I think it's that simple and
some of the oldest carvings ever found
in a cave is the The Lion Man yeah and
that is also during this glacial maximum
High Cosmic rate time yeah yeah what a
weird time to live I mean if you have to
spend your days in a cave and like so
literally like your days and nights are
dark all the
time it could not have been
easy well I'm sure during the day you
moved towards the front of the cave
where it was light but you didn't go out
into the direct sunlight right right you
might have tried hunting from the mouth
of your cave because you still got to
eat any animal that walks by you try to
get or otherwise you just hunt at night
yeah you hunt at night or go check your
traps I think a lot of trapping was
going on back in these times
got to develop a hunting technique that
works on its
own right right but it just occurred to
me too that it kind of makes a lot of
sense now too that you have largely
women doing the cave painting because
probably what's happening is as
everybody's awake at night rather than
during the day perhaps the men are out
hunting the women are still in the caves
so it makes sense that they're the ones
doing the painting they're the ones that
have the time to do it oh good point
yeah yeah that makes sense
so if you were worried about the Earth
flipping on its side we didn't discuss
that at
[Laughter]
all now did we no but the problem is
that we asked AI about what's going to
happen and it didn't
even it didn't it had no problem telling
us that it could happen in the
2030s it doesn't even say after that but
that's probably not going to happen it
says some scientists say it could happen
in the 2030s that's it and that's bad
news because there's no other
explanation but it's happening now it's
rapidly happening and we could be at the
weakest field strength in just 10 years
yeah yes so buckle up I will say too as
a a very fair skinned person that in the
last 20 years I've noticed a big
difference
in the rate in which I
sunburn yeah have you noticed similar
changes in how hot like a driving down
the road with the window open isn't even
an option like on some days yeah no you
and I were just talking about this last
week you know like okay we we we've been
in the middle of a bit of a heatwave
here and you know granted this is a
climate where it's sunny 300 days a year
we get an awful lot of solar and we're
up at altitude 7 ,000 ft we get an awful
lot of solar radiation but all of a
sudden last week just being out in the
sun it wasn't the heat so much as it was
the intensity of the sun like it just it
just felt like you were being
radiated yeah way that I haven't noticed
before it wasn't even 90 degrees and it
and he had it hurts yeah no we were
still down at like 80 at that point and
it felt in a certain way it wasn't like
not temperature-wise but in a certain
way it felt like it was like a hundred
when I was in my teens we would go to
Wildwood for spring break I would
slather baby oil across my whole body
and lie on a towel for six hours
straight that would be an impossibility
right now I'm partially laughing
laughing because if I ever did that at
any point in my life I would be
black I would be burnt to a crisp yeah
no I actually would get that tan dark
brown if you put baby oil on
right yeah so we're looking for good
tans in the future in very short periods
of time that means no more tanning
salons no more
need just five minutes a
day yeah oh all right
guys don't get your panties in a bunch
you're in a magnetic Excursion now and
you're not dead yet find us tonight on
magnetic reversal news at 800 pm.
