Earth’s magnetic field could FLIP and WIPE OUT satellite technology

The next update was not scheduled to happen until 2020, but due to the North Pole’s sudden shift, researchers have to bring it forward.

However, the consequences could be much more severe as it could also be due to a possible impending pole reversal, where north becomes south and vice versa.

In recent years, scientists have been gearing up for a potential flip in the magnetic field – a natural phenomena which occurs every 200,000 to 300,000 years when the north and south poles switch.

The poles attempted to swap 40,000 years ago but the process failed.
