The Next Five Centuries

In Section [*], the discovery of America was described. Here we will outline the subsequent history until the present. This is best summarized in Table [*].


Table: The History of America from Discovery to Present
Date Event Ref.
1492 Discovery [Columbus(1492)]
1776 Independence [James et al.(1776)]
1954 Nothing much [Smith and Weston(1954)]
1999 Present [Phillips(1999)]

As can be seen from Table [*], there is almost no mention of geomagnetism or the magnetosphere at all. This sorry situation is discussed further and explained away in Section [*].
