North Pole?

[Capiert]

Where is the north pole?

 

Everybody knows that

(or so I thought).

To be sure, I pulled out my compass

& the blue needle_end pointed north,

the silver end south.

(That) Seemed pretty reliable,

till I gathered compasses together,

& then they started pointing at each others tails, instead,

when they were close together.

Hmm? Now I was totally lost.

 

So I looked at a globe

& in the Arctic area at the top

it said North pole

& magnetic north pole.

I pointed my compass at the globe, but the compass needle didnt budge

(staying in the direction it was before).

(The globe must have been made of aluminum or plastic, or something else).

I pointed at Antarctica at the bottom

& it (=the compass needle) did the same (nothing).

 

So I pulled out a book on electromagnetics

& it said "unlike poles attract"

(& "like poles repel").

Hmm? North pole. Hmm?

Everybody knows where to find the north pole:

it's in the Arctic;

it's in the north;

& it's magnetic there

otherwise it wouldn't be named (neither): pole

(for a magnet);

nor magnetic.

The north "axis" of rotation is also there, nearby.

Ok, if that is the north pole

& it has been named that for centuries

 

(I mean who (or what) came 1st,

the chicken or the egg,

the obvious answer is the egg

(for each chicken).)

 

another book tries to sell me the idea

that my blue compass tip is a north pole

although my compass is only a few years old,

it didn't exist before that.

& that the north pole is a south pole.

 

I mean magnetism is coming from

the Arctic & Antarctica

 

(maybe (that's) an electromagnetic effect

of moving charge? E.g. The earth's charge

is moving thru the universe.

But maybe further, that (=earth magnetism) is only a disruption (=distortion)

or wake_disturbance of the universes magnetism,

caused by matter's (charge=protons & electrons) motion? Who knows?)

 

& is densest at each pole.

 

We can attribute (=visualize or imagine) a virtual bar magnet,

vertically, inside the earth,

with each ends touching a polar region.

 

My questions are:

Does anybody have a link to that (north pole) naming history,

with a brief explanation?

Who named the magnetic north_south naming standards for compasses etc?

& When (did they do that naming)?

Technically.

So I can track it(s evolution).

I'd like a brief rundown (on that).

It's as bad a conventional flow (electricity).

Everybody (now) knows electrons flow, instead,

e.g. against the diode's arrows (schematics).

What a mess!

Just another quirk* in Physics.

 

If you lock this thread too,

then I'll assume you don't want to admit how errorful physics really is.

 

*Entanglement. "Errors don't add, they multiply,"

"Recognition is the 1st step to improvement."

The royal society loves skeptics

because if it's based on science

(=the errors of our predecessors)

then it's guaranteed wrong the 1st time.

Get it right the 1st time.

That's probably why this SFN website hacks the newcomer input down,

because they know the basis is rotten, for sure.

 

"Physics hasn't been designed for idiots,

it's (randomness) been designed to make them (so)."

 

This website still strips apostrophys & some quotation marks when copy pasting,

& I can't get paste to work in windows,

except the topic title.

Can somebody help?

Moderator Note

 

That would be a bad assumption. You have to understand physics in order to point out the errors.

 

How about trying this: if you have a legitimate question, try asking it (in the appropriate section) without the side commentary that causes the threads to get locked up. i.e. don't lecture about the topic you're asking questions about. Asking about the north pole is not speculative. So it doesn't belong here. Your unsubstantiated claims about physics don't rise to the standard of speculations discussion, so that doesn't belong here, either.
