So what tilted the alignment of the inner-inner core?

Could say an extinction impact generate enough energy to cause global magnetic reconnection? Only thing I can think of that might have this effect in such a brief time scale.

I’m only providing somewhere to begin. As far as rapid events magnetic reconnection is the simplest mechanism. I’m not assuming there is not a more complex explanation. I was considering whether it may have been a result of the moon wandering beyond a baryocentric limit that dissociated it from the Earth’s magnetosphere. Just thought it worth a thread.

….. and never call me Horatio…. again.. You’ve been warned.

Ummm… Yeah… Okay…

Nought but ill can come from that name. It is curs’ed….

that should have been ‘cursored’…

I don’t know.

if you have a HO ratio of 2:1 the humidity is too high. Just to begin with.

you could take a wild stab in the dark. or not.

HO ratio is usually 1:87.

does that suggest that the inner core absorbed water and rusted, thus creating the consequent tilt?

Had to look it up but “golf clap”…

I needed to sleep on it. :)

Look at other planets. Uranus has its magnetic field tilted at an angle of 59 degrees to the spin axis. Neptune has its magnetic field tilted 47 degrees from the planet’s rotation axis.

I understand that but MV related that the tilt occurred very rapidly approximately 500 million years ago.

But not in this thread, right?

No it was in the chat thread.

I thought that the quote was

There are more things in heaven and earth,, than are dreamt of in your philosophy…Horatio.

Makes more sense, and not as clumsy sounding.

Yeah, but it was Shakespeare…

The Internet says that Furious got it right.

Tic, so the author got it wrong too?

hypothesis 4 would be that Earth has been tilt-locked to prevent further pinball shenanigans.
