Everybody is suggesting that something "hit" us.

What creates the magnetosphere? The rotating liquid iron in the core.
Now it is all very random at times, especially as we have all talked about a pole switch. I mean, they've had shows about on History and Discovery etc. At times the negative polarity mixes with the positive polarity kinda like a lava lamp.
What I think is that the "hit" was really just a flick of the switching, just a random jump. Like the whole thing is, random.

And yet tehre are no coincidences.

Either way u can't live by it.
