About this episode
Did you know that the Earth’s poles might flip one day, causing compasses to point south instead of north? Scientists have discovered that this pole reversal is a natural part of our planet’s magnetic cycle, which has happened many times over millions of years. When this magnetic shift occurs, it will significantly change how we navigate and might even affect our technology. Another fascinating fact is that days could become longer, eventually stretching to 25 hours instead of the current 24-hour cycle we are used to. So, in the future, we might actually have a bit more time to relax and enjoy each day!
