Thanks Rhodes for taking my interest in human magnetite seriously. There is quit a bit of interesting research being done on magnetism on the human brain.
You didn't answer my a) b) or c) question? No opinion on that question?
No matter, although I'm improving on posting and moving up from completely computer illiteracy...I'm happy when I see someone else who is.
There's another avenue of thought happening, regarding earth's magnetism and animal deaths. I'm going to try to put two maps below. It's to do with the declination. Note the 0 declination lines. Bermuda triangle fans claim that compasses get mixed close to the 0 point. There likely wrong because the line doesn't neccessarily match up..even though it varies widely from year to year. Anyway. Here's the maps. You decide for yourself.
Errrrrr this site is different from last. how do I move picture.
Check it out yourself than please. Here's links.

Hope you check those out Rhodes, whether you see a connection or not?
I didn't like the options lol because I'd have to make a tedious reply like this:
A) Human brains are always pattern seeking, just need to distinguish between making ridiculous connections and making good connections.
B) I think there definitely is a connection, how big or small it is I don't know. Changes in the magnetic field and poles don't just happen for no particular reason, the Sun has been going a bit crazy recently and has been muddling it. [

(even though yes it is generated by the earth's core, but I see that as a constant given the time-scale it has been working)
About scientists....
There is so little known about how animals navigate and it's a fairly new topic of study, so of course they will give answers about areas there is a solid understanding.
Many scientists have a lot of contempt towards each other trying to prove their peers and colleagues wrong, but the controversy is barely reported in the media and only a small amount of people have experience in these types of academic circles.
It's largely a dis-function of the press also as they have to work super fast to compete with other news articles getting information out there first, so just want to get a quick out of context sound-bite from any expert even though he doesn't know enough about it yet. Academics also have extremely bad job security and can't say anything too presumptuous in case it ruins their career and they get fired. There are also extreme bureaucratic restrictions to get around. Largely imposed by governments to make sure taxpayers get their money's worth and also private investors.
I can say whatever I want because I'm still a student lol.
You're very right there is not much of a multi-disciplinary approach but that isn't the main problem, I'm sure many scientists are smart enough to find the link, they are just not in a position to speak.
C) Governments? A bunch of politicians won't know shit about what's going on, they are too busy on other problems. For government funded scientists (almost all) as explained in B.
