PEE on the earth.....
If magnetic opposite poles attract, and like poles repel, how come the N needle of a compass points to the north pole?
Actually,
The North magnetic field pole is to our geographic South...
The South magnetic field pole is to our geographic North...
The difference is between "Magnetic Pole" and "Magnetic FIELD Pole" (or geographic poles).
I'm trying to start a protest movement to rename the Earths poles so it will be technically accurate. PEE... Pole Exchange Effort.
If my Pole Protest is successful, all compasses will instantly become obsolete. All N/S street names will need to be changed. All GPS's will need to redefine "North/South". East and West can be left the way they are... otherwise the Earth would need to spin the other direction ??

Bert is hereby appointed Chairman of the PEE... (Pole Exchange Effort).
.......We can take a Poll to verify Pole exchange support. We'll attend any and all protests and rallys all over the country and make signs and wave our PEE around on top of long magnetic poles. We could have a PEE party and PEE contests. What a sight that would be. Who wouldn't want to join ?

Oops, sorry Rankyca and Debo... I added a link, you couldn't comment at that time.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought how cool it would be if opposite poles repelled and like poles attracted.
ReplyDeleteWould the world split in half and then slap together where the poles were?
North and South THAT!!!
ReplyDeleteDebo - ? The Earth would no longer be a globe... more like a goblet.
Good luck on that protest Bert! I'll bring chairs and popcorn. Will I need any help gettin home?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that protest movement!
ReplyDeleteMr Chicken, which way will the water run in the toilet, counter clock wise, with all this pole changing and dividing and slapping it back together? This is a mystery to me.
ReplyDeletelover - see keplert... although you can still bring chairs and popcorn. Why would you want to go home?
ReplyDeletekeplert - It's already over. I tried it. Nobody cared.
Texasville - Let's hope the water in the toilet runs "Down".
BTW, the clocks will then run counterclockwise.
I knew this, but just reading that made my brain hurt! LOL! I'll join the movement!
ReplyDeleteMythicalU - Yes, many (but not all) know aboout the polarity of the poles.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I could have stated it differently. How about this.
Pole at the north and pole at the south. Both are magnetic poles, The one to the north is the North magnetic pole, and the South to the south.
So.
Now we know WHERE the magnetic poles are, North Magnetic pole is N, etc
But..
So far we don't know what the Magnetic "Field" is of the poles. Which is N field pole?
The north end of a magnet points toward the North magnetic pole therefore it has to be the south magnetic field pole located at the North magnetic pole. .
There, THAT's what I meant to say.
Hurrah MythicalU, You are hereby appointed Chairman of the PEE... Pole Exchange Effort. (See revised blog)

*Celebrates a little bit late* Better late than never, right? *Passes the champagne*
ReplyDeleteSo! When do we start with the polls? I can start drawing up the letter heads and sending around pamphlets?
Signed
Chairman of the PEE

Well be better do it quickly - Remember the Mayan's? 12/21/2012
ReplyDeleteAfter that it won't be necessary, but... wait.... It will STILL be wrong.
The 20th of December would have been more catchy, I think...
