They determined that 12,000-year cycles occur, and the evidence was conclusive. In the late 1940s, the Pentagon wrestled with whether to disclose the findings to the public and finally decided not to alarm the nation. In the late 1950s, the Sun gave them a scare, and three months later, NASA was born.
In 1969, the US sent men to the moon, and there is a strong argument that what they were really looking for was evidence that our Sun had gone Nova in the past. They did find what they were looking for all over the surface of the Moon in the form of small glass beads pockmarked with fission tracks. There were also isotopes such as Thorium-230, Magnesium-26, Iron-60, Beryllium-10, Oxygen-18 and 16, and Aluminum-26 that can only be produced by relativistic temperatures of a star, and with a half-life far shorter than the travel time to our closest star. It could only have come from our Sun. The Sun had gone Nova in the past, and thus began the search for more evidence.
Even Albert Einstein agreed that the evidence pointed to Earth flipping or rotating back and forth over time, changing the pole locations. Einstein's concern was that the ice buildup on Greenland and Antarctica was not enough to unlock the crust from the mantle. He died without learning about the mechanism of our star providing that crust/mantle mechanism. As it turns out, the crust contains large quantities of iron and is magnetized, which assists the crustal unlocking of the mantle by induction.
The event we are currently in involves both the magnetic movement of our poles and a Micronova/Nova event. There is abundant geologic evidence, and modeling now confirms these events. The protons and electrons produced in solar flares are destructive to the Earth's ozone levels. Due to this reduction in ozone and the protection it provides for life on Earth, we observe a small reduction in species.
As we approach this event, our electric grids will likely be taken out in advance, since our magnetic shield will allow CMEs (Coronal Mass Ejections) and solar flares to penetrate deeper into our atmosphere. Everything that keeps modern man alive will be reduced to junk. Our entire food chain, transportation, water, medical facilities—everything will take a major hit.
The magnetosphere, which protects the Earth with its magnetic field, began weakening in 1859. More than 150 years later, we are witnessing an acceleration of the weakening of our magnetic shield. Today, it has weakened by approximately 20 percent. Our next likely major event will be the destruction of our power grids by a moderate Solar Flare as our magnetic shield continues to weaken. This would take us back to the dark ages and kill a significant portion of the population due to the lack of water and food.
What comes next is far worse: the sun will darken, and after that will be a solar outburst consisting of cosmic rays, gamma rays, and UV rays, which will arrive eight minutes later. The side of the Earth facing the sun will be hit by high-energy particles, and electrical induction will heat the low-velocity zone between the mantle and crust, causing them to unlock. Catastrophic earthquakes and volcanic eruptions will occur as the weight of ice on Greenland and Antarctica causes the Earth to tilt when these two land masses move to the equator.
Next, large chunks of the Sun's shell will congeal along their trip, some possibly the size of asteroids. The Earth's atmosphere will be filled with dust and volcanic gases, causing rapid cooling of the planet. After this period, which could last for weeks to months, the Sun will continue to be active, and more solar flares will melt the ice and snow, leading into the next era of Earth.
