Michio Kaku, the Henry Semat Professor of theoretical physics in the City University of New York College and renowned author of books on principles of physics, seems to disagree with your expert on the timing of the shifting of the poles,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPLjnqS8UeY

Here he’s seen stating, blatantly, that the scientific society has accepted that the pole shift could occur AS SOON AS two thousand and twelve, no scientists that I’ve heard of have decided to disagree with him and hence challenge him on that statement.

Is this NASA scientist really more qualified than the intellectually famous Kaku, and behind him the support of the science community?
