I understand that, and I have no problem with proposing a new hypothesis, and I have no loss of sympathy for the assault that can come from those who cling to existing theory.

I was just dis-satisfied with the summary. I should not have to read the article to find out why two phenomenon are co-existant. The way the summary was written, you must assume that the earth and it's field are coincidental.

"The New Theory: Earth’s magnetic field is not produced by an internal dynamo within the planet. The magnetic field and the planet are separate parts of a complex dynamo system surrounding the planet"

True. While science has accumulated a vast amount of knowledge, even great theories like General Relativity are incomplete.
