Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the feasibility of Hoglan's theory presented in a documentary regarding catastrophic events linked to solar discharges, including the stripping of Earth's magnetic field, reversal of the Earth's core polarity, and reverse rotation of the Earth. The scope includes conceptual critiques and speculative scientific claims.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses skepticism about Hoglan's claims, questioning the plausibility of stripping the magnetic field, reversing the Earth's core, and reverse rotation.
  • Another participant labels Richard C. Hoagland as lacking scientific credibility and dismisses the 2012 theories as nonsense.
  • A participant humorously suggests creating their own documentary using a Timex watch, reflecting skepticism about the seriousness of such claims.
  • One participant notes that scientists acknowledge the possibility of magnetic field reversals and speculates about the effects of neutrinos and undiscovered particles, suggesting that some scientific theories may not be entirely ruled out.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally disagree on the validity of Hoglan's theory, with some dismissing it outright while others entertain the possibility of certain scientific phenomena, indicating a lack of consensus.

Contextual Notes

Participants reference the scientific understanding of magnetic field reversals and the speculative nature of theories involving undiscovered particles, highlighting the complexity and uncertainty surrounding these topics.

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.
