Oh, I know about these guys. They think that roughly every 10k years or so the sun does a “micronova”. The Earth supposedly absorbs a lot of energy which somehow “unlocks” the crust or something and the poles (and I guess the axial tilt itself?) radically shift in orientation.
They think the CIA and what have you is concealing this, apparently there’s a book called “The Adam and Eve Story” which details the whole thing that the TLAs don’t want anybody reading
Yeah… it’s one of the more complex and involved conspiracy pseudoscience communities out there
The poles actually do swap every few hundred thousand years.
Yes but it doesn’t mean Earth suddenly does a backflip in place in its orbit. Axial tilt and indeed the rotational axis remain unchanged when the magnetic poles flip
The micronova conspiracy people claim that the non-magnetic poles suddenly and abruptly change, as in, the earth suddenly lurches to its side and the new non-magnetic North Pole is in the middle of the Sahara for example (that would be an insane degree of axial tilt lol)
I was gonna say, pretty sure I learned that in Geology in college. Dude made me doubt myself for a sec.
