Hey OP, I read about the core reversal yesterday too and it's such an interesting phenomenon! But I do want to counter any misinformation: this is a normal, non-cataclysmic event that happens every 35-70 years.
The articles that I read say that the new study showed that the reversal might happen more like every 70 years, where some scientists thought previously it was every 35. The last time it did so prior to 2009 (on which this latest study was focused) was in the late 60s/early 70s, and besides some pretty spectacular music, there wasn't a cataclysm.
Here's some good non-sensationalized reporting on it:

Wouldn't mind the ETs appearing, though, that would be awesome! 😆
