Gradual Stop

If the polar shift takes 1 Hr for the earth to do an approximate 90 degree shift, then the maximum speed of the earth’s surface at the perimeter (circle of largest motion) would be about 12 times the earth’s normal rotational speed of about 1000 miles/Hr. If the starting and stopping is assumed to be a uniform acceleration, (which we suspect won't be the case) then, this is estimated to be about .31 G. A body along the perimeter of rotational shift would feel 31% heavier during this time. If the shift rotation were to come uniformly to a stop within 3 minutes, then, the deceleration would average about 3.1 G. If it stopped in 1 min, then, the deceleration would average about 9.4 G. If the polar shift is between these limits then the G force of motion we would feel during the shift will between these limits. Note: A car going 20 miles/Hr hitting a barrier and stopping in 2 ft produces a 6.7 G deceleration.

The above numbers are a simplistic view, and only give a feeling for, or rough order of magnitude, for some of the factors involved from a point of view of simple high school physics. The crunching, and bumping of the plates will cause much more fluctuation in the amount of G force felt then the above estimations. I suspect as the 12th gets close to between us and the sun, that the 12th’s magnetic field takes over control from the sun, and all of a sudden the shift starts. I am guessing that after the 12th planet passes between us and the sun, that there is competing forces that slow the shift down more rapidly than it starts. This may come form the residual magnetism of the core, and its repelling force with the sun in its new position. I expect planet earth by its inertia to swing past it's ending position, and possibly oscillate for a while, ending in it's new position, while the 12th slowly progresses on it's way. I expect the 12th to hold the earth in it's new position long enough for it to begin to rotate.

We know the earth stops its rotation for a short time, as history reports this in cultures world wide and not in contact with each other (just as the flood is so reported). This means the current scientific explanation of why the earth rotates goes out the window. It is not leftover motion perpetuating itself. It rotates because parts of its semi-liquid core are on the move. If one was in a rocket leaving earth. G-force would kick their butt because they are basically fighting gravity. If you were laying on the face of the earth and the earth was turning with you on it, would you still feel the effects of G-force? You would not be fighting gravity as everything moves together, gravity and all. I might be wrong, just one of those gut feelings. I know that inertia is what you would be fighting, but some how I don't think it that bad.

This is an interesting concept. If one is in a train taking off at a rapid clip, you could be knocked off your feet, but if the train takes of gradually, you don't feel this effect no matter how fast the train eventually goes. People are in airplanes going at supersonic speed, for instance, but can walk around. Why would the earth's core and crust move at a sudden speed? It would take off slowly, over a few minutes, and when stopping the turn likewise take a few minutes which would translate into a series of earthquake jolts.
