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 fishÅЯ†ђŮŖ ÐΣй†Now look here! 10:08, 17 June 2007 (CDT)
Geomagnetic field decay[edit]
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. --jtltalk 14:19, 17 June 2007 (CDT)
