- I believe the answer is no.
- I'm not a geophysicist (nor do I play one on TV) but I do know some, and
- tend to be well educated on such subjects. The last I heard, it was
- still a mystery.

- BTW, its about time for another switch (plus or minus a 1000 years).
- I hope it happens within my lifetime. Should be fun, and probably won't
- cause the end of the world.
