Missing Magnetic Field Causes Cancer and Computer Failure
In the 1,000 years, during which the magnetic north and south poles change places, the magnetic field is weakened, causing damaged technology, fatal diseases, and stray animals.
LOTS OF RADIATION INJURY
High-energy space particles cause injury, when they affect body cells or our DNA. The problems correspond to those, which astronauts experience on a three year mission to Mars, etc. The likelihood of getting fatal cancer is 3-5 %. Solution: We must carry a dosimeter, that records the radiation we have been exposed to. D WOUL WE LYGET CULAR PARTI RAND CANCE . SKIN NOMA MELA NANT MALIG
ANIMALS GET LOST AND CANNOT FIND PREY
Birds, whales, and foxes use the magnetic field to navigate by during annual migration or when they hunt. We do not know how they detect the field, but the information is important.
Solution: Life has survived several pole reversals, but it might be different this time, as animals and plants are already under the pressure of climate change, exploitation, and limited habitats. TORY MIGRA NSAND PIGEO THEIR DMISS WOUL BIRDS NSBY NATIO DESTI OFKM ANDS THOUS
OVERLOADED ELECTRONICS
High-energy space particles could destroy vulnerable electronics due to over voltage. Solution: Much of our technology needs to become more robust, such as printing electronic circuit son radiationrepellent surfaces.
COMPUTERS MISCALCULATE
Cosmic radiation could cause cascades of electrons in computer chips, which might change one bit from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0, producing erroneous data, applications, or processes, so autonomous cars crash or drones get lost, etc. Solution: Critical systems could be shielded more from radiation, and they might be duplicated, so a new system is ready to take over in case of any ailufres.
OZONE LAYER EVAPORATES
A weak magnetic field would cause holes in the ozone layer above Europe and North America, allowing harmful ultraviolet UVB radiation from the Sun to pass through. The result would be much more cases of skin cancer and eye diseases such as cataract.
Solution: The UV climate would be like Southern Europe's, requiring sunscreen/ shades most of the year.
PARTICLES DISTURB SENSES
If cosmic particles hit the nerve paths of the brain, electric impulses arise, which cause false visual and sensory experiences. The phenomenon was first described by astronauts in the 1960s and 70s. With a weak magnetic field, we will all have false sensory experiences, which are highly distracting and potentially fatal.
