Within a period of 10,000 years-a mere instant on the geological time scale-the north and south magnetic poles exchange places. Scientists have long suspected that the mysterious reversals may produce major changes in the earth's topography. Now it seems that there may be even more far-reaching effects. A group of Columbia University scientists has collected evidence suggesting that the flipping field may also play a major role in the evolution of terrestrial life...

The knowledge that space flight's zero gravity actually makes a task harder, rather than easier, will probably force them to scale down astronaut spacewalk assignments on future missions.
