    No way. Is that really happening? The magnetic poles are flipping the 2040s? How often does that happen? Old compasses won’t be correct? Will it affect anything else (Aurora Borealis?, etc?)

    I’m plumb flummoxed.

      Aurora Borealis will be more visible because of the weakened magnetosphere. I don’t know what implications this will have on the world in practice.
