Pole shift

East and West remain the same. But Thor would then be positioned 1W of Due North. Somebody may have to update the dish alignment tutorials.:D

i think it takes a period of time for the switch to occur, it doesnt just happen over night.
So plenty of time to get the factor 40 and learn about barbies and surfin?

Already upto date with the drinking :D
 
I was listening to Radio 4 this afternoon (Thursday 6th January) to "The Material World" and one of the questions was about pole reversal.

The answer given was that the last one was about 700,000 years ago but that this didn't tie in with any mass extinction events so perhaps it won't be so bad after all when the next one comes along.

Maybe everyone went to Disneyworld for the weekend and missed the event

Anyhow if this last week is anything to go by, it doesnt take much for planet earth to get rid of a large number of humans, but most wild animals in the areas took flight an hour or so before the tsunami struck, so mass animal extinction events have to be really bad things to witness.
 
If the mass of the polar ice caps increases signifiantly, the earths crust could move, and polar shift (an in movement - not reversal) could occur. We would have to move our dishes as a result.
(maybe I shouldn't have used Locktite on those dish mounting screws after all)
 
My 'eurohike' compass is not as realiable as it used to be, now I know why.
