polar shift

[Ak47Ar15Glock26]

Not to alarm anyone to strap on their tinfoil helmets, but has anyone heard of the comet that is supposed to come fairly close to earth that it will cause a polar shift? I came across a video talking about it. March 15th is when its predicted by scientists and astrologists. All governments are supposedly prepping their underground bunkers just in case. Just wondering if anyone else has heard about it.

Never heard anything about this.... Pretty interesting though. Guess I should double check my BOB and SHTF stash....

I actually started another thread about the shift, but I don't recall anything about comets in the article...

The poles are constantly shifting...a month ago on the radio they were talking about how some airports have to shut down to repaint the numbers on their runway (which correspond to their magnetic heading)

The poles are constantly shifting...

And.....this type of event cannot be predicted.
The closest prediction we can make is the correlation with solar flare activity every 9-12 years we see shifting but not flipping in the magnetic poles.
It can be minor or major change due to many things including a passing comet or asteroid or solar flare.

The last magnets pole swap was 787,000 years ago. When they happen they seem to happen in short order and cause major chaos on the planet.
Before that was 900,000 years, 1,060,000 years, 1,190,000 years. The next back back were almost another million years.

As rare as these occur... I wouldn't be concerned. I'd worry more about burnt toast.

damn, and I just bought a new GPS. Will it be affected?

GPS is based on satellites in space triangulating your position relative to them, so nope.

Ah yes...but it sends the data to your device in the form of coordinates which are then plugged into its traffic map. If the earth wobbles slightly, GPS units would not be calibrated correctly. Mine keeps saying I am in my kitchen and yet, I am in my home office!

Can it screw up the world on the 17th? My birthday is the 16th of March. i want to go out after I get wasted on Guinness

I hope the comet doesn't take down any AT&T satelites. My iPhone service is already bad enough.
