The rest of what you said makes no sense. You should try reading what I said with what you just said above. Then my claim would be obviously correct.
Here's a hint; The pen in a doctor's pocket has a much larger gravitational influence on a newborn baby than all the stars (sans the sun) in the universe combined.
Somehow it seems like you are continuing to talk about the sea floor in general.Your claim isn't "obviously correct" which is why experts on this matter virtually all disagree with you. I'm absolutely astounded that you are still trying to defend this risible claim.
Lodestones are naturally forming magnets, they have a North and South pole, and they generate a magnetic field around them, to which magnetic materials (like iron) respond. Lodestones are quite rare in nature. I'm not aware of any significant source of lodestones on the seafloor. Your assertion is that within the bands themselves there is an attractive and repelling force, and thus it dictates the orientation of adjacent bands. This is simply not true.
But lets for the sake of argument say the seafloor was littered with lodestone granules (it's not). Firstly they would not orientate into neat parallel bands, assuming the lodestones are round, they would clump together radially. Secondly, the clumping would be twice as wide as the granules themselves. You wouldn't get several kilometers of uniform polarity, NNNNNNNNN, or SSSSSSSS, instead you'd get something like NSNSNSNS. Thirdly, you only get the striping or banding because of the cooling magma of seafloor spreading.
The iron particles can only orientate themselves when the rock is molten and the particles relatively free to move. Once the rock cools they can no longer move. Any sort of magnet or lodestone subject to this process would melt losing it's properties to attract and repel.
Finally, a good question. That's what I'm saying.
How far away was the proceeding band?
So when you said "100s of km away" you were either lying or stupid. Which were you doing? Lying or being stupid?Proceeding band? Like this?
I've been dealing with the arguments steadily this whole thread. Your uncivil behavior has been simply responded to in kind. Don't worry, if you can stand to be civil we'll get to your dynamo theory and we'll see if you are as affable and forthcoming as I have been.
Good, I suspect both of us could benefit from a careful look at the issues, and that we can do it without some of the rancor that so often characterizes these threads.
I agree with that, but I don’t see that as a close analogy to the sea-floor case. If the premise is correct that the seafloor is slowly spreading is correct, the new molten material is not initially magnetized fragments of the original magnetized band, but simply molten basalt that can be magnetized. Since a YEC view would not allow the millions of years mainstream science claims for the seafloor spreading, I would need to know what the YEC explanation is that would yield such a pattern.
Good points. In mainstream science’s old-earth case, I am not aware that variations in the chemical composition of the basaltic magma is credited with playing a big role in the magnetic stripes on the seafloor. That would be something that would be easy to check, and I suspect it has been looked at, long since.
It wasn't a local effect. It was a worldwide effect based on the magnetic field of the earth's core on the first band.Are we talking about molten rock that erupting ang cooling episodically, or progressively centimetre by centimetre to allow progressive alignment, or solid rock?
How do you explain the pattern in magnetic anomaly stripes repeats around the world if it is a local effect?
So far you've been talking about something else. Read DavisBJ's post to get on track.
