The Polar Shift 2012 findings have caused uproar and ripples of fear and doomsday conspiracies in the whole planet. It was even recorded that on February, 2001 the sun underwent a magnetic shift of its polar regions and apparently the next magnetic polar shift will happen in 2012. According to scientists from NASA that monitor the sun's activities, the sun's magnetic field underwent a drastic 'flip' about twenty two months before and that this signals an eventual solar maximum; but this was not obvious to human beings. What happened is that the magnetic north pole of the sun is now pointing to the south. NASA says that while it is a surprising situation, it certainly was not unexpected. NASA further adds that the sun's poles will remain as they are now and will remain to do so until the next polar shift in 2012.
But first things first. Let us delve into how this Polar Shift 2012 would affect our own planet. The earth has magnetic field that is buried deep beneath the earth. And this is a fact very well known to people who knows how to use compasses. This geomagnetic field goes beyond the planet itself and even extends as far as to the outer space. At the earth's surface the geomagnetic field is most obvious because of magnetic materials' behavior which naturally aligns itself with the earth's geomagnetic field. Trough observation this magnetic field is buried beneath the earth's crust all the way to the earth's outer core which in turn is believed to be molten iron. This magnetic field is known to extend into outer space and which comprises the earth's magnetosphere.
It is known that the earth, every few thousand years flip its magnetic fields and for the last few hundred years, geophysicists have steadily observed and recorded a consistent and significant weakening in the earth's magnetic field. This consistent weakening further indicates that the magnetic field of the earth may vanish altogether within the next millennium and a half; or one percent of every decade. This deterioration has increased to fifty percent for the past two millenniums. This magnetic field rotation pattern also happens in specific areas at a rate of one degree for every ten years. There are also significant shifts in the locations of the magnetic poles and these are noted as complete reversals and are most commonly called as excursions.
Going back to the question: would the Polar Shift 2012 happen? The straight and scientifically determined answer is, yes. Given the rate that the magnetic field that greatly affects this phenomenon is escalating rapidly, such a thing is not far from indeed happening.
