Seth Carlo Chandler, an American astronomer, discovered the Chandler Wobble first in1891. The effects of the wobble cause the earth's poles to move in an irregular circle of three to fifteen meters in diameter in an oscillation. The track of the spin axis began to slow down and by about January 8, 2006. Here is what Edgar Cayce; the famed sleeping prophet predicted during the mid 1930's that a new cycle of the shifting of the poles would begin in 2000/2001 and thereafter an increase in the "upheavals" in the Earth. Since this anomaly has appeared in a "cycle" of Chandler's Wobble which began in 2000, just after the completion of the MIN PHASE in 1999, we are now seeing Cayce's prediction fulfilled with remarkable fidelity. Cayce believed that these horrible future events could be averted if humanity changed its behavior. And this is the purpose for giving prophecies - to warn people to change so that the prophecies won't happen. Cayce was the first to describe the concept of the shifting of the pole as a result of the crust of the Earth moving independently from the core of the Earth to bring different a surface area over the spin axis. Probably our interest has been stirred due to the increase attention to global warming and the increase in frequency of violent weather here in the United States and globally.

An Explanation for Pole Shifts Pole shift is generally believed to be due to the gradual redistribution of mass in outer Earth's mantle and the crust. Our planet is most stable when its most massive parts are farthest from its spin axis; that is, on the equator. If mass redistribution were to occur somewhere on an otherwise uniform Earth, the planet would reorient itself so that the mass concentration would move to the equator. Over the past century, the North Pole moved about 33 feet toward eastern Canada. Most geophysicists believe the movement is due to true polar wander (TPW), or a shift of the Earth's entire mantle and crust relative to Earth's core. Scientists have known for some time that the magnetic poles move. James Ross located the pole for the first time in 1831 in an exhausting journey in which his ship got stuck in the ice for four years. In 1904 a man named Ronald Amundsen found the pole again and discovered it had moved at least 50 km since the days of James Ross.

The Effect of Earthquakes Earth's magnetic field is changing in other ways as well: Compass needles in Africa are drifting about 1 degree per decade. And globally the magnetic field
