Evidence for global magnetic grid or pseudo science?

[Flayrah]

In conducting research into historical accounts of Earths magnetic field, I consistently come across proposals of stable planetary magnetic grid systems; many of these theories which have apparently been developed through much time and effort. While I am unaware of any theory that cannot be readily dismissed as pseudo-science or new-age, are there any tested (or testable) theories concerning stable planetary magnetic grids; or even any known magnetic variances that cannot be explained by underlying geology or other provable methods? Is anyone aware of a time when any such theories were generally accepted - say, during the 1700's; or Victorian / Edwardian age?

proposals of stable planetary magnetic grid systems

What do you meay by "stable planetary magnetic grid systems"? Can you give some specific references?

any known magnetic variances that cannot be explained by underlying geology or other provable methods?

Not that I'm aware of.

planetary magnetic grid systems;

What is a magnetic grid system?

no such thing that I am aware of

sounds like woo woo science to me

I wonder if there is any scientific basis the concept has been built upon; and if at any time it was generally accepted.

After some searching based on the above website we have been unable to find any peer reviewed studies supporting this idea in the professional scientific literature. As such, it seems to be pseudoscience and we will leave this topic closed.

If someone is able to find such a reference please send me a PM and we can reopen.
