AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the solar cycle, specifically its 11-year pattern that appears to strengthen with each repetition before resetting. There is speculation about whether this increasing intensity could lead to a magnetic pole flip of the sun, potentially influencing Earth's magnetic flipping cycle. However, it is clarified that the sun's magnetic field flips every cycle, while Earth's flips occur every tens of thousands of years, indicating separate causes. The two processes are not strong enough to affect one another. Overall, the idea remains theoretical and unsupported by current scientific understanding.

I'd imagine this will get relegated to theory developement, but here goes anyways.

Looking at some of the charts for solor cycles it's clear to see the 11 year cycle. But this cycle seems to grow stronger with every repeation. It then resets to a low point a starts again. Now, I admit, I know nothing about this process and I'm just wildly speculating.
But, could this process eventually lead to a flipping of the magnetic poles of the sun? and could this then lead to the magnetic flipping cycle on Earth that we see?
Crazy I know, but could one cause the other?

No, the sun's magnetic field flips every cycle - the Earth's flips every few tens of thousands of years. They have separate causes and can't affect each other - they just aren't strong enough.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
