2012, possible scientific explanation

reply to post by stereologist


I would disagree....just because there is no recorded evidence of a mass extinctions per Archaeologist, does not mean that a mass extinction did not occur.

Migratory animals navigate our planet as a result of sensory capacities that sense the Earths magnetic field. Despite your contention, given a magnetic pole shift these animals will not go where they are supposed to, ergo the event can have serious ramifications upon the food chain.

Also there is the matter of history and the fact that the "End of Days," just happed to occur at the same time as a magnetic pole shift.

Also, gravity and human comprehension in relation to it is effectively all about a statistical analysis. Based upon what we, have been so far exposed to.

I am referring specifically the the matter of sampling vs. populations, in the context of the efficacy of modern science, In relation to constructs beyond micro-wave ovens, internal combustion engines and the human genome project.


Any thoughts?

Which is exactly why the researchers did their research in the manner in which they did.

First of all animals migrate on more than a single sense. Second you have no evidence that they will go to any place other than a place where they can live.

Also there is the matter of history and the fact that the "End of Days," just happed to occur at the same time as a magnetic pole shift.

There is the possibility of a magnetic reversal. Nothing says that it is happening. The evidence suggests that these events take place over an extended period of time.

Also, gravity and human comprehension in relation to it is effectively all about a statistical analysis. Based upon what we, have been so far exposed to.

It is unclear what you are suggesting here.

I am speaking of the difference between science and scientism.

Please do not be offended science has done incredible things, we could not be having this conversation if it were not for science. But we do not know to what extent migratory animals depend upon there other senses to navigate our planet . Whales and Dolphins use Echo location and when it comes to whales, there sounding's are known to travel vast distances. But to suggest that the many species of fish and foul navigate solely by instinct, negates to need for going further to conclude that they navigate by the Earths magnetic field. As such, The necessity of mankinds effort to understand this process. Is somewhow negated by the conclusion they could accomplish it by other methods.

Any thoughts?

What we do know is that magnetism can be used by animals. It does not mean that it is the sole, or even primary means of navigation. Some migratory species do not always migrate. Canada geese are an example.

Navigation by instinct still requires sensing from the animals. Is it smell, or sight, or temperature, or magnetism, or the location of the Sun, or something else, or a combination of these.

What is known is that extinctions are not related to reversal events.

Based upon what? What percentage of animals that actually lived 780,000 years ago have we actually categorized??? What about animals that ended up dying while living or flying over oceans??

You are basing your conclusions upon life on land. Animals that live and migrate only on land, like for example the Buffalo, are not necessarily applicable in such a context, A vast amount of animals that migrate, travel across hemispheres. They reproduce, feed and get fed upon and are integral to the food chain.

Your basis appears to be on an article which was wrong in many obvious ways as I pointed out. You are also wrong about basing my position, not conclusion, on land life. No idea where you get the idea that "vast amount[sic] " of animals migrate across hemispheres. That's not true at all.

You need to get your facts straight. You might want to actually read something other than a blog with a poorly thought out claim.
