Cataclysmic Geomagnetic Field Collapse: Global Security Concerns

Abstract

In 2015, Tyler J. Williams authored “Cataclysmic Polarity Shift: Is U. S. National Security Prepared for the Next Geomagnetic Pole Reversal?” That document provides an extremely cogent and thorough description of some of the risks to national security and infrastructure expected to result from a geomagnetic polarity reversal. However, it describes geomagnetic field generation solely as currently promoted by the geophysics community which is based upon old ideas, circa 1940s-1960s, that are taken to be factual without any attempt to understand their limitations or to evaluate their validity in light of subsequent scientific developments. Moreover, the security concerns Williams described are relevant to humanity globally. Here I have reviewed the historical development of those old ideas, pointed out their problematic nature, and reviewed subsequent published advances that overcome their inherent problems and lead to a better understanding of the geophysics related to geomagnetic polarity reversals, geomagnetic excursions, and, at some yet unknown time, the permanent demise of the geomagnetic field. Mechanisms of rapid geomagnetic field collapse, both natural and potentially human-induced, are described. The present state of nuclear georeactor activity, whether geomagnetic field collapse leads to increased georeactor output, and whether it is likely to trigger earthquakes and volcano eruptions are yet unknown matters of seriously troubling human security concerns. Global security preparedness, even though addressed by sovereign nations, should be predicated upon the latest and most correct scientific understanding. In some areas that may be the case, but in the scientific areas described here there are clearly problems. The inherent problems, I submit, do not result from inadequate funding, but from inadequate methodologies, expectations and responsibilities of scientists, their national and parent institutions, publishers, and respective funding-agencies.

Causes and Consequences of Geomagnetic Field Collapse

“…Consequences of the next geomagnetic field collapse, concomitant with a magnetic polarity reversal or excursion, have been greatly underestimated as based upon a popular, but flawed geoscience paradigm. The potential risks to our technology-based infrastructure from the charged-particle onslaught during geomagnetic field collapse are recognized [11]. Other potential dangers have gone essentially unmentioned, even though observations of some major geological events in the past seem to have been associated with geomagnetic reversals or excursions.…”

“…Detonation of nuclear explosives above the Earth to cause an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) [128] might not only momentarily distort the geomagnetic field, but potentially could induce electrical current into the georeactor by altering the natural charged particle flux across the geomagnetic field. A similar risk is posed by heating the ionosphere with focused electromagnetic radiation [11].…”

“…No one knows when the next georeactor subshell convection collapse will occur, but recent movements of the North Magnetic Dip Pole [152] might imply sooner rather than later [11]. In addition to the devastating consequences on our technologically-based infrastructure, described above, it is of interest to speculate on the geological consequences of the next georeactor sub-shell convection collapse.…”

“…These brief glimpses prefigure the much-greater consequences expected during a geomagnetic polarity reversal or excursion. Loss of that shielding, during the next geomagnetic polarity reversal, will potentially have devastating consequences for our highly integrated, technology-based infrastructure, as abstracted from [10] and quoted from [11]: "Widespread communications disruptions, GPS blackouts, satellite failures, loss of electrical power, loss of electric-transmission control, electrical equipment damage, fires, electrocution, environmental degradation, refrigeration disruptions, food shortages, starvation and concomitant anarchy, potable water shortages, financial systems shutdown, fuel delivery disruptions, loss of ozone and increased skin cancers, cardiac deaths, and dementia. This list is not exhaustive.…”

Formation of Mountain Ranges: Described By Whole-Earth Decompression Dynamics

“…My concept of the consequences of Earth's initial formation as a Jupiter-like gas giant, described by Whole-Earth Decompression Dynamics theory, provides a logical and causally related basis for the formation of mountains characterized by folding [11] as well as virtually all other geological and geodynamic phenomena [12][13][14][15][16] including the nuclear fission georeactor generation of Earth's magnetic field [17][18][19][20][21][22].…”
