Something strange is going on, deep below the ground beneath our feet.

    Reverse or flip? Cause the magnetic poles flip pretty regularly on a geological time scale.

    There’s a movie called The Core and while it is kinda ridiculous it does have an interesting idea.

    “The magnetic field is vital to our continued existence. It helps keep the atmosphere we breathe in”

    I knew about reducing how much cosmic radiation we receive, but not about protecting the atmosphere:

    “Many scientists have argued that the magnetic field is crucial for protecting the atmosphere from erosion by energetic particles coming from the Sun.” https://science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-oxygen-magnetic-field-linked/

    Also, “the planetary magnetic field has followed similar rising and falling patterns as oxygen in the atmosphere for nearly a half billion years, dating back to the Cambrian explosion, when complex life on Earth emerged.”
