It's about it spinning out of whack, doing a somersault and stuff, being thrown off balance.
They graphs have become nearly flat line on the right hand side. They SHOULD be flowing downward to complete the wave to look like the previous ones (only smaller).
Another way to see the current pause in the wobble is to look at the X and Y plot measurements directly. The graph necessarily truncates the nuances. In this table below concern yourself only with X and Y columns. On the top two lines you see a. Both values are declining to ZERO because the location of the spin axis is returning to both axis. The Y is correct, the X should actually be increasing slightly but very slowly for at least another few months. From Jan 15, notice the Y column values are decreasing, then increasing, then decreasing, now increasing, back and forth.

Okay, just as physically impossible. Same reason as before.
And I'm still waiting to see some actual, credible, scientific proof of this...

A change in the Earth's axis of rotation would violate numerous physical laws. A change in the magnetic pole, however is possible. It has happened before and may very well happen again.
If that were to happen, would there be any physical effect on the earth (other than the geomagnetic, of course)?

The wobble of the axis.
The Earth's axis wobbles a bit, true. but that doesn't meant that it will "Flip," or "tip."

When talking about spin and wobble you must remeber to not visualize the earth as a ball with a rod through it.
The earth is one ball, surronded by gel, then a crust on top of that.
The Inner ball constantly and consitently spins the same way(as far as we know). Its interaction with the other parts gives us the north/south poles.
The crust however is much like a ship riding a wave. It is not really attached to the other parts of the earth and can move. This movement can be caused by ocean tides, volcanos, earthquakes, tectonic movement, the moon and suns pull. Several things
When a supposed pole shift occurs it is not the core of the earth which changes, it is simply the crust moving in relation to the core.
Wobble is basically a measurement of this movement.

The graphs (black graphs) I posted above are from January 20-24, the author of the original report completely misinterpreted the data that he had in front of him. As you can see from the data after the 24, the axis moved in the way it was supposed to and in the way that was predicted by IERS: maia.usno.navy.mil...
There's no anomally.. just an overzealous author that doesnt fully understand what hes looking at..
maia.usno.navy.mil...

But feel free to fantasize about a pole shift.. carry on
