The 2012 Myth: Is Hoglan's Theory Feasible?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion critiques Richard C. Hoagland's theory presented in a documentary about the year 2012, which claims that a solar discharge could strip the Earth's magnetic field, reverse its core polarity, and cause reverse rotation. The original poster dismisses these ideas as nonsensical and labels Hoagland as a fraud without scientific training. While acknowledging that scientists do believe the magnetic field can flip, they express skepticism about the feasibility of Hoagland's catastrophic predictions. The conversation also touches on the potential for new particle discoveries in physics but remains critical of the documentary's overall message. Ultimately, the thread emphasizes a strong disbelief in the apocalyptic claims surrounding 2012.

Hi all..I watched a TV documentary last night on 2012. One guy warned that the Sun caused a huge solar discharge that would hit the Earth and strip away the magnetic field AND cause the Earth's core to reverse polarity AND caused reverse rotation...did anyone else see this? This guy, Hoglan was his name I think, used an old watch that had a tuning fork to actuate the second hand, to look for anomalies in the Earth's core...
I will give him an A plus for imagination on maximum destruction but ...from a logical stand point...
stripping way the magnetic field?
reversing the Earth core??
reverse rotation??

maybe my brain finally went bad by too much Coors beer but ...no way!

It was Richard C. Hoagland, a nutcase, a fraud, a liar, and someone with no scientific training.

*All* of the 2012 nonsense you here/read/see is just that -- nonsense.
 
yes I thought so...maybe I can hook up my Timex to a volt ohm meter and get my own documentary?
However..I suspect that there are people who see the show and will dig out the Y2K generator and old survival shelter...
 
Well, scientists do believe that the magnetic field can flip.

And I don't find it impossible that a lot of neutrinos cause a completely new reaction, considering the fact that SUSY theorists are believing there are at least a many particles that haven't been discovered as the ones that we know.

I didn't like the film for other reasons.

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
