Always thought that with the planet gridded to 360 degrees, and that the GMT, was always 180 degrees opposite from the IDL, as
it is only the associated point of 0 degrees, & 180 degrees, or the 1/2 way point, around the planet, ... I could be wrong, however, but I learned how to make, & use a compass in Cub Scouts, when I was about 6 or 7 years old, ... now that I’m 66, it surprises me that there are a whole bunch of folks out here, ( like my lovely, wonderful wife), ... who have little, to no idea as to what, or why we even have to deal with things like knowing the 4 directions on a compass, ... I have won many beers, (over the years), in which people have no idea, or imagination, to where they are, or much less, why they are where they are, ...lmbo, ... with that said, I would tell them in which direction north is, and have them stand, pointed in that direction & ask them to point to the Southeast, and (only), ... & some of them had an idea of that direction, ... but when asked to imagine that they were standing on the North Pole, & to take 1step away from where they are at, & then (here is where the bet for a beer (lol), ... comes in), ... and lets say they step to the right, ... and they might say I just stepped to the East, & I tell them No, but let’s bet for another beer, double or nothing, ... sure, why not comes the reply, ... and they step to their front, ... & again they’ll guess they stepped to the East, & again I tell them, No, ... Sow they are thinking that I have lost the, ... but I show them, on a map, with an indication of north, & south poles are at, ... (to which my understanding is the axis upon which the planet is spinning, not the magnetic North/South), ... is that a single movement, in any direction from the North Pole, is a movement to the “SOUTH”, because the axis pole, is stationary, not subjected to any leanings of the magnetic anomaly, that seems to have a mind of its own, ...
To which I will now make it clear as to how/why, it is in a pattern of moving, ...
We all know that the Earth has a molten iron core, but how many scientists, or even regular folks understand that by being in a molten state of flux, that it is bouncing around inside of the planet, like a marble, inside a larger sphere, & that the amount of colder crust, is what retains it within the planet, ... our moon, & Sun, also being of iron are what keeps our gravity intact, ... & it is the rapport between the earth, our moon, & it’s relationship with the other planets gravities, that govern how that molten iron core stays inside of the planet, ... it has been locked inside the planet, bouncing around, ever since it had the collision with the earth, creating our moon, & the relationship our orbit around the sun, ... the bouncing around accomplishes many of the necessary things that life upon the planet depends upon, ... the magnetism, that protects the planet from the gamma radiation of the sun, the tides that wash, & sway our oceans, as it interacts on a constant motion with the moon attraction, and among other things, the regulation of our planets interior core temperature, of staying in motion as it bounces off of the crust of the Earths inner side of the outer crust, as the planet tops around on our daily trip past the sun, as we pass from the darkness of nighttime, into the refreshing of daily daylight, ... & the seasons, as we also follow the gravitational spin around the sun, which is ovaled, not a perfect circular orbit, in addition to the tilting of planet as we pass from season, ... to season, ... to season, ...
What makes me wonder, (because I do not have the mathematical background of study), ... is what happens if the core, were to move nearer to the surface of the planet, as it spins within the planet, contained only by the planet’s crust, & start to pierce though the constantly changing movement of the shifting plate tectonics? Is there a study, or any indications, that this may occur someday? Or is it so far beneath crust that it remains trapped, & will bounce around inside the planet on a forever basis? I am of the thought, that perhaps the course the ever changing plates, ...is following a changing of the planets spin, but is taking a course change, because of manmade forces of destruction, such as the testing of nuclear warheads, & the earth’s reaction to those explosions of such forceful power, ... could we actually steer the planet, into a new course adjustment to our gravitational orbit, much akin to putting English, on a cue ball, ... by firing nuclear warheads on the outside of the planets surface???
