Color Edition: This book makes obsolete most of the fundamental theories about the working of planet Earth. It proves through cause-and-effect as well as basic physics what drives the planet to spin about its axis and what makes its spin speed to vary. The book explains what configuration of magnetic fields are emanating from Earth's core to answer the true reasons behind the weakening of the magnetic field, global warming, climate change and reversal of the magnetic field force in Antarctica. Ancient texts and petroglyph enabled the establishment of a cycle of Earth changes of 3,562 years. The scholars who supported Joseph Goodman's decoding of the Mayan Calendar made an error. The end of a cycle of Earth changes, where calamities such as burgeoning earthquakes, epic flooding, heated oceans, and more, is not December 21st 2012. This book shares the correct date. The book has given the readers an unprecedented never ending experience. Every day in the news and over the internet and other media, there are articles about new Earth changes that are relentlessly escalating. Most news articles contribute to confirm the Earth's model that the author has built in this book and the drivers behind the changes. The same Earth's model was recently found to repeat itself over other planets of the solar system. It helps to explain Mars's and answers why its ice cap is melting. It helps to explain why Venus and Saturn spin speed is slowing down. There can be no more excitement than seeing such a new planetary model to grow from more to more as days go by. Upon reading "More Than 60 Minutes- When Earth Stands Still" you will be able to answer: why has the annual number of Earthquakes, above 6 Richter, increased more than double starting 2007? Where is the thermal energy, which forms the Temperature Belts of homogenous climates, coming from? Why is North America getting warmer winters while Europe is getting colder ones? Is there a relation between the weakening of Earth Magnetic Field and the increase in Global Warming? Could the reasons behind Earth Ice Cap melting be the same reasons behind Mars Ice Cap receding? Why is the Ice growing in East Antarctica? Why are there patches of Reversed Magnetic Fields in Antarctica? What makes Earth spin about its axis, speed up at times and slow down at other times? Will the Earth slow down its spin, similar to what Venus and Saturn experienced in recent years? What is the cycle of Climate Change? How did history text, in holy books, speak about several Climate Changes? What wrong did historians do when they decoded the Mayan Calendar? And why December 2012 date, for an end of cycle and a beginning of a new one, is incorrect and what is the correct date? How can humanity be better prepared to face more brutal changes in a short window of time? Could there be a confederated effort to challenge and build on the strategies that the author has proposed in this book? Thus saving our civilization cornerstone industries such as Agriculture, Energy, Infrastructure, Wealth Management, Civil Order and most of all provide a speedy recovery? It is expected that any new discovery be met at first with opposition from orthodox scholars. This is unfortunately a common response of conforming historians, scientists and geologists towards new ideas. It is however self-defeating, for in the end, new ideas and integration of existing theories and established data with a different proven insight will always triumph over the old.
