Charles Hutchins Hapgood (May 17, 1904 – December 21, 1982) [ 1 ] was an American college professor and author who became one of the best known advocates of the pseudo-scientific claim of a rapid and recent pole shift with catastrophic results.
The cataclysmic pole shift hypothesisis a pseudo-scientificclaim that there have been recent, geologically rapid shifts in the axis of rotationof Earth, causing calamities such as floods and tectonic events[1]or relatively rapid climate changes. There is evidence of precessionand changes in axial tilt, but this change is on much longer time ...
Hapgood's theory suggests that Earth's outer crust is able to move upon the upper mantle layer rapidly up to a distance of 2,000 miles, placing Atlantis in Antarctica, when considering the movements of the crust in the past. Albert Einstein was one of the few voices to answer Hapgood's theory.
The geographic north pole doesn't move, and if we're putting things in the simplest of terms, it's the "top" of the globe. The magnetic poles, however, are constantly drifting.
Geomagnetic polarity during the last 5 million years (Pliocene and Quaternary, late Cenozoic Era). Dark areas denote periods where the polarity matches today's normal polarity; light areas denote periods where that polarity is reversed. A geomagnetic reversal is a change in a planet's dipole magnetic field such that the positions of magnetic ...
Paleomagnetism (occasionally palaeomagnetism) is the study of prehistoric Earth's magnetic fields recorded in rocks, sediment, or archeological materials. Geophysicists who specialize in paleomagnetism are called paleomagnetists. Certain magnetic minerals in rocks can record the direction and intensity of Earth's magnetic field at the time they ...
Members of the scholarly and scientific community have described the proposals put forward in the book as pseudoscience and pseudoarchaeology. [8] [9]Canadian author Heather Pringle has placed Fingerprints specifically within a pseudo-scientific tradition going back through the writings of H.S. Bellamy and Denis Saurat to the work of Heinrich Himmler's notorious racial research institute, the ...
The Brunhes–Matuyama reversal, named after Bernard Brunhes and Motonori Matuyama, was a geologic event, approximately 781,000 years ago, when the Earth's magnetic field last underwent reversal. [1][2] Estimations vary as to the abruptness of the reversal. A 2004 paper estimated that it took over several thousand years; [3] a 2010 paper ...
