The Chandler wobble was first discovered back in 1891 by Seth
Carlo Chandler an American astronomer. The effect causes the Earth's
poles to move in an irregular circle of 3 to 15 metres in diameter in
an oscillation.
The Earth's Wobble has a 7 year cycle which produces two extremes, a
small spiraling wobble circle and a large spiraling wobble circle,
about 3.5 years apart. The Earth was in October 2005 moving into the
small spiraling circle (the MIN phase of the wobble), which should have
slowly unfolded during 2006 and the first few months of 2007. (Each
spiraling circle takes about 14 months).
But suddenly at the beginning of November 2005, the track of the
location of the spin axis veered at a very sharp right angle to its
circling motion.
The track of the spin axis began to slow down and by
about January 8, 2006, it ceased nearly all relative motion on the x
and y coordinates which are used to define the daily changing location
of the spin axis.
One interesting implication is the likely increase in tectonic activity
which may follow during the next 20 years or so. The last major anomaly
in the MIN phase of the X WAVE was during 1936, which induced a major
phase shift and sharp change in direction of the drift of the pole.
Following that anomaly, the frequency of 7.0 plus quakes nearly doubled
from some 18 per year to over 30 per year. The year following the
anomaly saw many major increases in volcanism. We are likely headed
towards a similar 20 year season of increase in tectonic activity,
beginning with a major increase in volcanism during 2006-08 and the
occurrence of more 7.0 plus quakes, even as many three per month for
many years afterwards. This activity, combined with the effects of
Global Warming on the creation of Super Storms, are likely to keep the
news channels quite busy.
This anomaly will be of significant interest to fans of Edgar Cayce,
the famed sleeping prophet. He 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.
