I've been following the S0's and the Electric Universe developments for the past 5 years and The Micronova hypothesis brings the whole picture home for me, and it's fucking terrifying.
Magnetic reversals happen cyclically, If we are on the cusp of such an event and Earth's crust decouples from the mantle a series of things would happen that would make the Biblical flood accounts seem like a light drizzle.
The crust stops dead, the sun stops moving in the sky. Tectonic plates buckle, some shoot skyward, some thrust below. The water in the oceans continues to follow the momentum of the Earth (about 1,000mph @ the equator). The west coast of every continent is inundated by this water, the East coasts watch the Oceans drain away only to come roaring back hours later in unimaginable force.
This type of Cyclical Micro-Nova likely stripped Mars of it's life and atmosphere in the not so distant past. Humans have survived before, but it's a real crapshoot.
I think living with this information would cripple most people.
