Scientists warn of Earth's magnetic field reversal effects

Original: Astrophysics Boffins suggest the Earth's magnetic field will reverse resulting in a potential increase of 25% of ionizat

Astrophysics researchers suggest Earth's magnetic field may reverse, potentially increasing ionizing radiation reaching the equator by around 25%. Charged particles penetrating the weakened field could damage human cells and interfere with atmospheric processes. The claim is circulating widely online, sparking discussion about what a geomagnetic reversal would mean for health, technology and the planet's climate systems.

Why now: New claims about a magnetic field reversal and its radiation risks are alarming people concerned with space weather and planetary science.
