No centrifical is not a word. When I searched for it, not only couldn't I find it as a real word, when someone asked about it in a forum the reply was that it wasn't a word and they probably mean either centripetal or centrifugal, which are two words which sound similar, but they can refer to forces in opposite directions. We don't need a third word to add to the confusion, but we do have people who make errors.

Also yes centrifical is a word though most use centrifugal. Or maybe not. It could be just one of those write as you say errors.
I worded my response to Vroomfondel strongly to try to help Vroomfondel come across as someone who can be taken seriously by not using words that don't exist. But that action bore no fruit since he still hasn't admitted centripetal is not even a word, so doesn't that indicate I didn't make my argument about it not being a word strongly enough?

You are likely correct, but I just want to comment that maybe could have worded your response a little more politely to Vroomfondel who I think was asking his question quite sincerely. Getting hung up on spelling? oh please, that’s so last century.
You'll have to give me some links to some scientific papers on the galactic current sheet and what you mean by changing polarity, so I can read up on those details. I'm wondering if you're thinking of heliospheric current sheets, which I've heard of, and the sun does change polarity during each solar cycle, but in the heliospheric context I wouldn't know what you mean by "crossing".
if a strong enough magnetic field from outside the solar system intervened (for instance: the changing polarity of crossing the galactic current sheet)
The Milky Way galaxy has its own magnetic field. It’s extremely weak compared to Earth’s; thousands of times weaker, in fact. But astronomers want to know more about it because of what it can tell us about star formation, cosmic rays, and a host of other astrophysical processes.
First, the topic of this thread is Cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis-Science versus Pseudoscience, so until you explain how the four part series pertains to the subject of this thread, it looks to me like you're going off-topic.

See your nemesis Ben has put his name to a 4 part series. If your are so confident why not go and inform him of his lack of understanding using you own name of course?
You could even link to how you destroy him.
It didn't seem to shut anybody up when Professor Dave showed how Ben was lying, nor when I showed how Ben was lying again in his video attempting to debunk professor Dave.

A very good idea! It could put some things to rest and shut some people up.
Unless you explain how those videos pertain to Cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis-Science versus Pseudoscience, they look off-topic to me. As I said earlier in the thread, I can think of numerous legitimate doomsday scenarios that are very likely to happen, (like the sun expanding into a red giant which will encompass Earth's current orbit in a few billion years, but all the water in the oceans will boil away before then possibly in as little as a billion years).

Anyway, I would like to see people explain away the videos I mentioned above and below. By all means! Because if these theories are true, we are being lied to on an unimaginable scale, our future is grimm, and it explains the current state we're in, and why we can never trust those in power, because they know,.......they know.....
At best, the 'electric universe' is a solution in search of a problem; it seeks to explain things we already understand very well through gravity, plasma and nuclear physics, and the like," said astronomer Phil Plait, who runs the blog Bad Astronomy at Slate. "At worst it's sheer crackpottery like homeopathy and astrology, making claims clearly contradicted by the evidence."...
"From what I've seen, most EU claims are on the cranky end of [the] scale. That's why most astronomers ignore it: No evidence for it, tons of evidence against it, and no support mathematically or physically."
In physics, theories need math. That's how you predict, gather evidence, verify, disprove, and support. But EU theory isn't big on math. In fact, "Mathematics is not physics," Thornhill said. While that equation aversion makes the theory pretty much a nonstarter for "mainstream" astronomers, it is the exact thing that appeals to many adherents.
The REAL Electric Universe
Many EU advocates try to claim that astrophysics ignores the effects of electric fields and currents as possible drivers of astrophysical phenomena. Once they do this, EU advocates try to hijack the discoveries of legitimate researchers, claiming success for their theories with any mention of currents in mainstream astrophysics. Yet electric currents and fields are discussed throughout the professional astrophysical literature, predating much of the Electric Universe.

I have a question.
If the Earths North and South magnetic poles flip, Will the Earth slow down it's rotation, stop, and begin to spin the opposite direction like a magnetic motor?
Or will the Earth continue spinning in the same direction but the Earth will flip upside down if that happens?
If you look at the native American Hoop dance and the Video game franchise Halo it might either solidify your belief/reality more or make you seem like a loon to those friends and family you know that believe and think otherwise.
Oh have I explored that as a possibility? No not at all
but there's another one similar Galaxy Express 999/777 as it is supposed to be a quicker tourist type of route visiting all the worlds/systems already made that way.
I'm still torn on if the moon stuck and then rolled or snapped off and rolled around... there should be like those marks you pointed out and moon features that calculate... sort of like the coastlines and pangea.
The social experiment of running "war of the worlds" without saying it was a social experiment or science fiction is sort of why we are stuck in ignorant mode as it became cause for mass "hysteria" and delusions and ever since then; The human mind was seen as too fail for "disclosure" at least that's my opinion.
