The Galactic Magnetic Reversal Boundary Hypothesis: Statistical Evidence for a Corridor Aligned with the Galactic Magnetic Field Reversal

We present multi-dataset statistical evidence that the solar system is embedded near a galactic magnetic field reversal boundary — a "corridor" aligned with l=0°/180° in galactic coordinates, connecting the Golden Gate (Sagittarius direction) and Silver Gate (Taurus/Orion direction). Six converging lines of evidence support this identification, including external experimental confirmation from the DAMPE satellite (Nature, April 29, 2026).
