TL;DR it's no cause for concern for now. Core is changing speed and direction in cycles.

Causing magnetic pole reversal?

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Not likely, considering the last few times it happened it didn't. This is the first time it's happened since the 1980s, not the first time it's happened.

Oh, much faster than pole reversal.

Which is neither the first time but every 100'000 years or so. Or was it 300k?
