how will tectors cope with a poles flip ?

In recent years, scientists have been gearing up for a potential flip in the magnetic field – a natural phenomena which occurs every 200,000 to 300,000 years when the north and south poles switch.

The poles attempted to swap 40,000 years ago but the process failed. As a result, the last time the poles switched place was 780,000 years ago, meaning we are long overdue a pole reversal.

A new study has found that a flip in the poles could take just decades – something which was previously thought to take centuries.

The research, from the Australian National University (ANU), examined previous pole switches to discover the rapid switch.

Australian-made detectors should work with the poles flipped already.

Never mind detectors, if the poles flip that will hopelessly confuse all American Civil War literature and more importantly Civil War relic identification- would it not?
