Inversions on the planet occur once in a million years, the last was about 800 thousand years ago, academics talk about the need development of measures at the state level to protect against its consequences.
In the near future it is necessary to develop a state a program containing a set of long-term protection measures of humanity from the effects of inversion – magnetic poles Earth, stressed in an interview with TASS. Academic Council of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences for Earth Sciences, academician Nikolay Dobretsov.
“Inversions on Earth occurred once every million years, the latter took place on the planet about 800 thousand years ago. But it is impossible to accurately predict when this will happen. therefore it is necessary now to develop a set of measures that will be included in state program to protect against inversion, “- said scientist.
According to him, among the priority measures is to strengthen monitoring. Earth’s magnetic field. In particular, you need to track it swinging that precedes the inversion, and observe magnetic field intensity. This process is most active. held in Antarctica, where necessary establish observations. Dobretsov explained that as a result of the inversion the collapse of world civilization may occur.
So, the Earth’s magnetic field will weaken tenfold: generators in these conditions will cease to generate electricity, the ionosphere will be destroyed, cosmic radiation can reach the surface land.
Under conditions of a very low magnetic field, they will become worse mobile communications and the Internet, engines will hardly start internal combustion due to a weak spark, “- said the scientist, adding that now we need to take care of the protection problem technology.
“For example, we need to now develop electric generators, which can work under conditions of a weak magnetic field, “- emphasized the academician.
He stressed that this problem affects the whole planet, therefore, it is necessary to pose this problem to the whole world A community of hundreds of scientists should be involved. The scientist himself intends in the near future to discuss this problem with the president of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vladimir Fortov.
Inversion of the magnetic field – a change in the direction of the magnetic field Earth in geological history. When inverted north magnetic the pole and the south magnetic pole are reversed and the compass needle starts to show the opposite direction.
Magnetic field inversions occur at time intervals from tens of thousands of years to huge gaps of calm magnetic fields of tens of millions of years when inversions did not occur. So thus, no periodicity was found in the pole shift, this the process is considered stochastic (random).
