Polar Wander

Description: http://en.es-static.us/upl/2012/10/True_polar_wander-e1349106311403.jpeg

In January of 2011 I was knocked off my chair with the report from the Arctic Circle in Greenland that the sun came back over the horizon two days early. That’s no small occurrence, is not something easy to make up, was not reported in the mainstream press, and only wild and stupid theories like global warming were being blamed for the event.

Now almost two years later we see that scientists have developed a computer model to identify four possible instances of true polar wander in the past. And, they say, true polar wander is happening now. That would explain this more than bizarre event in Greenland and the fact that Indian elders have been communicating about unprecedented changes in the Arctic Circle for the last few years.

True polar wander is a geophysical theory that suggests that if an object of sufficient weight on Earth—for example, a supersized volcano or other weighty land mass—formed far from Earth’s equator, the force of Earth’s rotation would gradually pull the object away from the axis around which Earth spins. A supersized volcano far from Earth’s equator would create an imbalance, in other words.


Earth Changes

We have many things threatening us these days, not the least of which is the weather above ground and the weather (earthquake activity) below ground. I have been following the reports from around the world that indicate that things are shifting quickly in terms of weather, natural disasters, strange happenings, solar activity and the like. Eathquakes and volcanic activity seem to be increasing dramatically as the last few weeks have shown.

The U.S. Geological Survey reports that early Tuesday morning local time, a magnitude 6.2 earthquake hit off of Japan’s eastern coast. Originating from a depth of 9.7 kilometers (6 miles), it was centered about 96 kilometers (60 miles) off the coast of Miyako, Iwate Prefecture, in the northeast region of the country that was struck by the devastating earthquake and tsunami on March 11th, 2011. The quake probably gave some frightful flashbacks to those of Japan’s Tohoku region who survived last year’s disaster. The tsunami disaster that took tens of thousands of lives and washed away entire coastal cities was caused by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake just over a year and a half ago and led to the world’s worst nuclear crisis in 25 years in Fukushima Prefecture. Another tidal wave and it could be toast for the northern hemisphere if Fukushima gets completely destroyed.

On September 30, 2012 a strong 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck along the coast of Colombia at a depth of 162.1 km (100.7 miles). The epicenter of the earthquake was 62 km (39 miles) S (176°) from Popayan, Colombia and 345 km (214 miles) from QUITO, Ecuador. According to USGS statistics, about 15 earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 occur each year but there have been five such high-intensity earthquakes reported across the planet in the last 45 days.

    In response to what Andy wrote, the Bible is not “wrong” in what it teaches. It is Tim who is wrong in how he has attempted to apply it. The passage he refers to is a psalm or song of David that gives thanks to the Lord using poetic language. The terms used are not meant to be taken as a scientific description of how our earth operates!

    Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness!
    Tremble before Him, all the earth.
    The world also is firmly established,
    It shall not be moved.

    Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
    Let the sea roar, and all its fullness;
    Let the field rejoice, and all that is in it.
    Then the trees of the woods shall rejoice before the LORD,
    For He is coming to judge the earth. — 1 Chronicles 16:29-33

    Hint to Tim: The “heavens,” “fields,” and “trees” don’t literally “rejoice” before the Lord, and the earth isn’t literally “glad” either. Moreover, if you believe that the world literally “CANNOT MOVE,” then how do you explain earthquakes, which millions of people experience every year and the Bible itself affirms (e.g., Zechariah 14:5; Matthew 27:51; Revelation 16:18; etc.)? Please use a little discernment before postings things that make Christians look like utter fools…

    So glad to have found this website & blog today! Very interesting. Thank you Mr. Sircus.

  • grumpybear

    Gee,I’ve noticed my gait seems to have shifted to one side,maybe this explains it. I packed some bicarbonate & magnesium in one shoe & now its much better,plus my foot odor has disappeared. Two birds with one stone I say.

  • Steve n KC

    Interesting theory.. funny tho, because this is exactly what my thoughts were on this weird weather (that the earths axis had shifted around 15 degrees). However would not the GPS system either prove or disprove this movement?
    If my coordinates are known for say kansas city from 1960, and compare what the coordinates are today that should be conclusive, right?!

    • robert

      It is important to know: after Hurricane Katrina, all the people who came in right after the storm and did not know the area, they relied on the gps which was off by 10+ degrees. It may not seem like much but it caused huge issues.

  • Steven

    Is it possible to see a virtual turning globe with the new axis and compare it to the old in order get a sense of the new equator and direction everything is shifting?

  • Toni

    The ball is crumbing for real —– All the crude oil taken from inside our ball and all the mining, what is replacing all this material. We then ship it around the world to different locations, ice caps melting – the earth could sure become unbalanced ???? could it Hmmm

  • Tim

    Crazy thought, especially when we are so mentally controlled from birth, but two things occur.
    1. Can anyone explain to me how it is that the world is rotating? Or that we orbit the sun? This has been received wisdom since Copernicus in 1543, and everyone says how wonderful it was when Science replaced Religion, but the Bible states:
    “He established the earth that IT CANNOT MOVE”. 1 Chronicles ch 16 v 30.
    Think. If earth rotates at 1000mph at the equator, and within a tenuous atmosphere, then that atmosphere will not rotate at the same velocity as the earth it surrounds. It will always lag behind. So there will be unidirectional hurricane-force winds all over the earth. Where are they?
    Secondly, if you fly from let’s say S Africa to London, and the earth is spinning, then should you not have to fly NE to catch up with London as it rotates away from you? Or even have to fly over the North Pole to meet it as it revolves back around? You never do this, nor do you carry extra fuel to supply the extra distance implied by having to follow the hypotenuse of a RA triangle instead of the shorter direct route.
    A man recently jumped out of a high-altitude capsule and parachuted to earth. As far as I know, he did not end up in a different country.
    If earth is rotating, then centrifugal force will ensure that you weigh significantly less at the equator than at the poles. You don’t.
    All this suggests that, incredibly, the earth is not rotating, as the Bible tells us.
    Obviously there are important corollaries to this, relating to the perceived movements of the stars, and their distances from us, but I will not go into them here.
    Suffice it to say that Aristarchus in the 2nd century BC stated that the sun was 19 times further away from earth than the moon, which would make it only 5 million miles away, not 93 million.
    2. Dr Sircus speaks about a Mag 9 earthquake at Fukushima on 11.3.11. If you look at Jim Stone’s w/s, he completely refutes the idea that any such earthquake occurred on that day; it was about a mag 6 tops, which is a thousand times weaker. This is official Japanese seismic data. No shoreline damage occurred, just the devastation from the wave. A mag 9, 25 miles offshore, would have levelled N Japan, but no buildings fell and people were just going about their everyday business when the wave hit.
    Only solution; a nuclear device placed in the Japan Trench, just offshore.
    The Israeli Magna BSP company, who had installed certain extremely odd-looking “cameras” in Fukushima power station, had all left Japan in the days prior to the event, before one of the empty reactors “blew up”, showering the world with radiation.

      the bible is wrong, you may as well believe in fairy tales – ALL things move continuously, planets, solar systems even galaxies

      the atmosphere rotates at the same speed as the planet because there’s nothing to prevent that from happening – there is no external friction as space is a vacuum and provides no friction to slow the atmosphere to NOT rotate with the planet – this is why high pressure systems rotate in opposite directions for each hemisphere

      planes fly within an atmosphere that is moving at the same speed as the planet, the planet doesn’t ‘rotate away from you’ because the air you’re travelling in is moving with the planet – same applies to the person who parachuted

      the centrifugal force issue is also a misnomer, because the scales you weigh yourself with are also subject to the centrifugal force, so they measure the same weight no matter where you weigh self – you’ve also forgotten to factor in centripital force – research it

      when a large gun is fired from the equator either north or south, one has to account for the different rotational speed of the gun and the target, this is called Coriolis Effect – research it

      when a plane flies east, it remains in daylight many hours longer than 24, when it flies west it remains in sunlight hours less than 24, proving the rotation of the earth – same when sattelites are launched, which is why an astronaut sees sunrise every 90 mins

      i see the “dumbing down process” is working a treat – perhaps you should do your own research rather than believing in 2,000 yr old fairy tales and uninformed youtube videos

      “All this suggests that, incredibly, the earth is not rotating, as the Bible tells us.”
      Where exactly in the bible? I know the first (catholic) church believed the earth was flat. Did the bible also say the earth was flat?

  • grumpybear

    “True polar wander is a geophysical theory”. Its a THEORY,its a maybe this,maybe that. Take some GABA people,settle down & make sense. When there were no humans or other life forms,the earth made it through just fine.We are all going through a birthing process,so knock off the fear,relax.The ‘controllers’ love us in fear…don’t give it to ‘them’. “Oh death,where is thy sting.Oh grave,where is thy victory?” Its not Shakespeare folks. One health note. Careful smoking ‘weed’ if you are anxiety ridden or in fear,as it removes the ‘chi’ from kidneys which increases the fear state.Liver is anger when inflammed with booze,so stay dry. Best remedy for this time is faith,spirituality,not religion,meditation like vipassana. New age is not grounded,its made up & increases vata.(look it up).Don’t forget to BREATHE.

      magnetic polar movement is not theiry, but documented fact – magentic north currently moves 40 kilometres annually away from geophysical (rotational) north

      • grumpybear

        From ‘wiki’ on “Apparent Polar Wander”: “In reality, the relative polar movement can either be polar wandering or continental drift (or a combination of both).[2] Data from around the globe is needed in order to isolate or distinguish between the two.Nevertheless, the magnetic poles do not actually wander that much; they generally stay close to the geographic poles. Therefore the concept of apparent polar wander is very useful in plate tectonics, since it can retrace the relative motion of continents, as well as the formation and break-up of supercontinents.The treatment of data is a big step and involves a lot of statistical calculations to obtain a valid paleomagnetic pole.” This is science,not personal dogmatic posturing.

  • Will

    Have there been any studies on the effect massive building construction, especially over the last 50 years, has increased the weight of the northern hemisphere that would be tilting the Earth’s axis? Possibly explaining why our 4 seasons are also out of kilter?

    • Andy

      things like the 3 gorges dam place trillions upon trillions of tons of water where they’re not supposed to be, pushing down on the crust and deforming it accordingly as well as displacing mass which alters the delicate balance of earths rotation – expect to see it result in unexpected seizmic activity in the area

      • robert

        There was a report about seismic activity in southern Louisiana this past week. People felt the rumbles and shifting. Guess what: the ‘government’ said ‘we do not have monitors here as it is not a place that is common to have earthquake activity’. So forget about getting warnings of earth shifting in some areas.

      • grumpybear

        Best non-science solution is to demolish all unecessary structures to achieve equilibrium,including volcanoes,& pyramids.Perhaps Andy,our resident geophysicist, can build a model planet & have it functioning perfectly perhaps in a week. The trade towers were a start,so we don’t have to worry about that imbalance.What if we take the population of India & relocate it elsewhere,maybe where Andy lives, which is 1.22 billion people times, say,100lbs each & also the Taj Mahal which is 2-1/2 thousand trillion kilos.That might just do it.The earth is nothing more than someone’s living room where we can just move the furnishings around a bit. Now I would expect some ‘seismic’ activity from this posting, so please buckle up folks.

  • Robert

    It feels as if the ball is crumbling under our feet. There is a sink hole in Louisiana that was empty salt caverns and they are collapsing and releasing butane gas into the atmosphere. If we take oil, with a certain psi, and pump in gas and water to release it from rock, then there is a vacancy in that space with a different psi. It is only inevitable that the surface will crumble if taken out all the substrate that has supported and nutured it.
