The flipping of the Earth’s magnetic poles is like a person having a heart attack and there are many signs this might be happening right now. If the magnetic field disappears, cosmic rays will bombard our bodies, causing serious diseases such as cancer, and even change our DNA. We would also lose control of satellites, which could be damaged by solar storms. Without the magnetosphere, power grids, computers, and other electronic devices will not be protected. The flipping of Earth’s magnetic poles will be much more destructive and terrifying than any war or pandemic.
