1. What's the point of finding out things
like the emperor event and the Brunhes-Matuyama boundary when
it was ages ago, we still don't fully understand if it affects
us, and we still don't fully understand how magnetic reversals
happen? As a follow up, how can we have this much data
and research and still have no idea how a magnetic reversal
happens?
2. If we've pretty accurately determined that magnetic
reversals are time based, can we mathematically determine an
estimate as to when the next one will take place?
3. Will the earth's magnetic field ever deteriorate
enough to put us in serious danger of the sun's radiation?
If so, do you think we'll have the necessary technology by
then to protect us? Or will the heat death of the universe
happen first? Or will the sun expand first?
4. Could geologists have the answer to the energy crisis, or
is that a job for a chemist?
5. How can lava be thermally magnetized?
6. On page 98, " the Japanese scientists, being intellectual
descendants of Matuyama, were inclined to favor reversal of
the main field and were embarrassed to find this
self-reversing rock". Why would this scientist, if not
generalized as all, be so strong on their previous "views"
once coming across evidence?
