I don't know ... everything smashed to pulp against this hypothetical magnetic field?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 225644 The feild does not smash anything.
Its gravity.
Does gravity smash anything now?
No.
It wont then either.
We are already IN the grip of it..the outer edge..and is anything getting smashed?
The felid eliminates intertia..as ALL molecules..every single atom..is affected by it.
Let me illustrate it THIS way..
Say you have a big ball of steel... a magnetic ball...covered in steel filinf..holding those filings in place.
The ball is spinning.
You then place a LARGER magnet around that ball..and bring the ball to a halt.
Not only the ball would halt..but all the filings on its surface would as well..cause the feild affests evrything IN the feild..and that includes the filings.
Its the same with the earth.
We are all held in place because of gravity.
If you suddenly stopped the earth..but not the air or the water or anything not attached to the earth..yes..everything WOULD go flying.
But gravity being what it is..would affect EVERY molecule..INCLUDING the air and water..bringing them ..ALL TO A HALT..all AT THE SAME TIME...THUS>.no flying off anyhere.
And being in the center of a gravity feild..time WOULD STOP..in a relative way..because time slows down in gravity wells..PROVEN fact.
So what happens to an earth..in the dead center of an all encompassing gravity well...thats right..time slows to a crawl..from an OUTSIDE perspective..as its all relative.
So when the mayans said there would be a short period of NO TIME..they actually meant it.
How this will affect the sun..we can only wait and see...because the sun too will be in the feild..gripped..stopped from rotating.
The whole solar system will be in the feild..held in a short stasis of sorts..time for the whole solar sysyem will stop.
How this will affect the human mind...well..we dont know for sure because its never been observed before...so..there are several surprises in store yet.
TIME..or LACK OF IT..will tell..in a few days time.
