The magnetic field deflects the solar wind, which contains particles and radiation harmful to life.

Good question and difficult to answer. If life did exist without the magnetic shield then it would certainly be vastly different than what we currently experience. On the other hand it might consist of microorganisms and not much more higher evolved life.

I understand magnetic north is determined by the magnetic field created by the earth's spin. Does this imply there is another ultimate north (maybe geographical) since we refer to the 'magnetic' north as if such other north exists?

When scientist suggest that we may experience a polar shift(reversing of the earth's magnetic field) does this mean the globe will flip, or just the earth's field? ie: will north become south and vice versa?

What are the latest projections for Earth's next magnetic field polarity reversal? Any ideas on protecting the Earth's magnetosphere (or at that point should we humans think of bailing the sinking ship)?

What's the right direction we have to follow while sleeping to nullify the earth's magnetic field

New scientific theory: The earth's magnetic field may be caused by the movement of the ocean and not it's metal core. To those that believe that science has all the answers, does this make you re-evaluate your faith in science? (see link to article)
