Lost me. Lol.the magnetic variance changes and there are models to account for that change which comes into play for navigation. Or, am I am talking something unrelated. hahaha

the magnetic poles shift over time. so, there are models and calculators to calculate for that shift. So, even in modern devices with GNSS receivers they have a MAGVAR calculation or software to account for that.Lost me. Lol.
There’s an idea that you could put a pretty powerful (but feasible) rotating magnet in the right orbit near Mars and generate enough to give protection.Yes…molten iron. And it keeps us alive. The molten iron is rotating which creates earth’s magnetic field which protects us from the sun’s radiation. This is why we don’t have a sterile lifeless planet. Mars by contrast has a solid iron core which doesn’t create a magnetic field that protects it from the sun’s radiation. That’s why if we ever inhabit Mars for any period of time, shelters protecting the inhabitants and any crops have to be used.
Visual evidence of our magnetic field can be seen at the poles with the northern and southern lights.
Are you arguing from a flat earther’s perspective or your own?You’re assuming the sun travels around the edge of flat earth. It would travel around the equator. It’s distance from the earth would occilate throughout its path and that movement would ebb and flow with the seasons.
As far as vanishing points. You can stand on the Salt Flats, miles of total flatness, and not see objects that are miles from you. It’s not because they are over the horizon, or due to curvature, it’s because of the limitations of vision and environmental factors. Being higher does make you further away, but it extends the vanishing point, increasing your field of vision. Simply draw two points and connect them. From one point extend a line up at 90 degrees then make a low point and high point on that line. Now connect each of those points back to the far point. The angle of the line of sight is enhanced and extends your vanishing point holding your head at a consistent angle from the lower point.
the best way to settle this is to simply get in a plane starting at the North Pole and follow the 0 longitude line until you get back to the North Pole, but that hasn’t been done yet.

They’ve actually flipped before. The magnetic North Pole has moved over 600 miles in the last 150 years, and it seems to be accelerating.the magnetic poles shift over time. so, there are models and calculators to calculate for that shift.

Theoretically
Here’s an article on it. The tech isn’t there yet, but it’s reasonably close.That’s pretty cool.

Unless you have a physical sample of whatever the core is made up of then your postulation is theoretical. You know...science.No…it’s not. Earthquakes release two types of waves…P Waves (primary) and S Waves (secondary). P Waves and S Waves both travel through solids, but only P Waves can travel through liquids. Seismic data shows that S Waves don’t pass through the outer core, therefore it must be liquid.
Loss of magnetic field certainly would be one of the many ways complex life on earth could end. Mars was covered with oceans and atmosphere at one point and the loss of its magnetic field completely stripped the planet of water and much of its atmosphere. With the exception of that water protected underground for the most part.They’ve actually flipped before. The magnetic North Pole has moved over 600 miles in the last 150 years, and it seems to be accelerating.
If it happened in our lifetime it would be a bad bad time. The protection would drop substantially (this has already started; there is a magnetic anomaly in the south Atlantic that occasionally fries satellites and causes astronauts to get hit by cosmic rays when they orbit over) which would wreck a lot of satellites, cause extinctions of animals that rely on the magnetic field to navigate, increase cancer rates. Flying may not be safe anymore because of the radiation. All that could last hundreds of years.
From the geological record it happens about every 300,000 years, and it’s been over 750,000 years since the last one. So we’re looking at geological time scales and it’s not LIKELY it happens in our lives, but it’s probably inevitable to be somebodies problem if we don’t kill ourselves off first.

Nah…wearing a metal suit wouldn’t stop it. Dig a deep hole, stock it with food, accumulate a library of VHS tapes and wait it out.Shit, here comes the next dumb thing then.
We all have to wear metal suits to keep the earth from losing its magnetic field. Stop the spread of magnetic field depleting stuff that we all do.
Wear a mask, wear a metal haz mat suit.
Loss would eventually end life on earth. Like you said, the solar winds would carry away all of our atmosphere over time. But I think the outer core would have to solidify for that to happen, and that’s a loooong way off. A flip would be a catastrophic disruption but it’s happened many times before with complex life and life keeps, uh, finding a way.Loss of magnetic field certainly would be one of the many ways complex life on earth could end.

Yes but more like “theory of gravity” than “string theory.”Unless you have a physical sample of whatever the core is made up of then your postulation is theoretical. You know...science.
It's probably molten iron, I just find it funny when "scientists" ignore the scientific method.You're correct. It could be a Honda generator or a hamster turning a turbo creating the magnetic field. Come to think about it, you can find “Hamster Generated Magnetic Fields” in the Flat Earther's Handbook right between “Fake Moon Landings“ and ”Vaccine Chips”.
@GK4HerdYes but more like “theory of gravity” than “string theory.”
We’re playing catch up on being able to observe the things we’re trying to understand. It’s too small or too far away.Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.

On vanishing point, my own. On the rest, I’ve looked at some flat earth videos just curious as to how they try to explain their view.Are you arguing from a flat earther’s perspective or your own?
San Francisco to London to South Africa to New Zealand? I’ll have to get my globe out, but doesn’t seem to make a North to south back to north circle to me.
