The idea that somehow shifts the earth's magnetic field strength may be contributing to the kind of experiences I was mentioning in the last post seems at once both silly and yet intriguing. There is a subculture of people online who discuss this rather obsessively, with the basic thesis that every so often and periodic intervals on the scale of thousands of years, the earth's magnetic field undergoes a rather disruptive change, part of that being a temporary decrease in the field strength.
This barely scratches the surface of the topic, as I learned while exploring it several years back. Since then the idea has gone from niche-fringe to being less niche but still fringe.
One should note that the magnetic field of the earth is what keeps us (that is all life on earth) safe from solar activity. Next month is projected to be the peak of the eleven-year cycle of sunspots. Maybe I'll blame everything on that for the time being.
