    This got me thinking. If you where standing in an flat open field (salt flats) and you jumped just before the earth stopped you would end up flying relitive to the surface at 800mph but if you did it right the earth would start spinning to match speed again as you landed and you would be unharmed yet having traveled over 1000ft due east.

Dr. Tyson has, through his enthusiasm and powerful convictions, inspired me to learn more about our cosmos. Speaking of the cosmos, his reboot of the Cosmos TV show is the best thing on TV right now. The very first episode in 1980 with Carl Sagan opened on a shoreline cliff and Dr. Tyson opened his first episode on the very same cliff which I took to be a fine homage to his predecessor and former mentor.

      @@ThatMadCat No. If you stood on the extreme most northern point of the Earth, you actually would be leaning because of the rotational axis. It is like the spinning top that Mr. deGrass Tyson mentioned. Yes there is a center point on that top but it's rotational axis carries that center point in the same number of degrees as the top is rotating which in the case of Earth is 23.5. This is a difficult concept to see without a physical example but in the end, there is not 'true' top of the Earth where you would not be affected by the rotational axis of 23.5 degrees. Some planets like Mars can have a rotational axis that extends 30 or more degrees. Uranus has an almost 90 degree rotational axis and it looks like it is rotating on it's side. I do not know how to demonstrate it with words but if you study the subject and hopefully some videos, perhaps you would understand.

    I think there was a misunderstanding about the 'pole switching/shifting'. I think the questioner was asking about the magnetic poles switching, i.e. the magnetic field of the earth changing so that compasses point south instead of north.
    The magnetic field of the earth does vary over time, such that magnetic north 'wanders' across the surface of the earth. In recent decades it has wandered north by north-west across the northern islands of Canada, and is currently very near to true north, but slightly towards Alaska.
    From geological evidence, we can also show that the magnetic north pole was previously near the true south pole, and that magnetic poles regularly 'flip', with the magnetic field of the earth changing relatively rapidly from one stable state to another.

      ***** Yes... that's what I'm saying. Tyson misunderstood the question because he thought the claims was that the matter of the earth flipped from north to south. My point was that flipping usually refers to the magnetic field, not the matter at the surface.
      Furthermore, It's tempting to think of the magnetic poles as antipodes, skewering the earth down the middle, and pointing all compasses toward magnetic north , but actually the poles move semi-independently of one another, and the field is rather more chaotic that that. Most models of pole-shifting suggest that the earth becomes multi-polar for a while, while the transition from one stable state to another occurs.

      @Adam Borucki I figure if it needed to spin the other way it would have to stop for a second or 2. How that would happen? I guess some kind of magnetic gravitational anomaly. Why it happened? Idk

    • @kungfusnarez
      @kungfusnarez 5 років тому +1

      @Adam Borucki I thought you were asking me to use my imagination. The definition of anomaly is something that deviates from the norm. So the earth needing to spin the opposite direction wouldn't be normal. And if you spin yourself around and think to spin the other direction, You would have to stop for at least a second and then force yourself the opposite way.

      In America when someone says "north pole" and "south pole" they generally are referring to the geographic north and south pole like when they talk about Santa living in the "north pole" . Generally in America unless stating specifically "magnetic north pole" it is generally understood as the land of Santa. I'm from Australia we don't say south pole/north pole we say antarctic and arctic and sometimes "north pole", personally I understood the question to be about magnetism but since NDT is American he deciphered the question differently. Regardless the question should have been more specific.

    • @mynameismatt2010
      @mynameismatt2010 10 років тому

    As for the last question...he obviously meant "when will the geomagnetic poles flip?" (These reversals of the geomagnetic poles leave a record in rocks that are of value to paleomagnetists in calculating geomagnetic fields in the past.) The correct answer is : It flips at irregular intervals averaging several hundred thousand years, the Earth's field reverses and the North and South Magnetic Poles relatively abruptly switch places. It could happen at any time. We just can't predict when. I am kind of shocked that Neil didn't explain this. (No offense)

      The question was literally "When can we expect the north pole and south pole to shift", while the wording could technically be taken either way, it doesn't take a genius to realize they are referring to the magnetic poles... you know, the poles that people _are_ actually saying will shift...

      I think the questioner didn't know how to properly frame the question.
      The question asked about poles "flipping" but I believe what was meant was not about the axial poles flipping, but the magnetic poles reversing in a phenomenon known as geomagnetic reversal, which does occur and has been documented by geologists.

    I think the question re the poles flipping was really asking about the north and south magnetic poles, not the poles of rotation. And this is a very relevant question given the increased rate of the migration of the magnetic poles over the last few years. The magnetic poles have flipped many times, and it would be interesting to understand when that might occur, although I gather that no one knows the timing. More importantly is the question of what effect this is going to have on our high tech civilization, our health and the environment
