Apologies for playing around with your page but I thought it might make it easier to have each point editable rather than having to scroll through the whole page. If you don't like it then revert. God's peed ^{Babel fish}ÅЯ†ђŮŖ ÐΣй†_{Now look here!} 10:08, 17 June 2007 (CDT)

Geomagnetic field decay

The young earth article includes the claim: "The total energy stored in the earth's magnetic field ("dipole" and "non-dipole") is decreasing with a half-life of 1,465 (± 165) years.. Is energy "stored" in a magnetic field? I'm not an expert on this, but if I have a bar magnet on the table does it have stored energy somewhere? An electromagnet on the other hand needs energy to create the field - but is this the same is "stored" energy? And if it is, is the earth's magnet field the same thing? Any physicists here?--Bob_M (talk) 14:15, 17 June 2007 (CDT)

Bob, you're more likely to get a useful answer on Conservapedia talk:Arguments for a recent creation -- this page is just an experimental reformatting of that one. --jtl^talk 14:19, 17 June 2007 (CDT)
