ROFL......The core is essentially a Dynamo which eminates an electromagnetic field which surrounds the Earth; essentially the same as the (theoritical)Force Shields on the Enterprise. The Deflector Shields theoritically were a repulsive Force similar to antigravity so I fail to see your logic.
You do realize that the warping of spacetime is theoritically possible and not a far fetched idea.....it is rooted in real science according to Einstein!
well the deflector dish was just a parabolic dish design that Gene used so the orginal series deflector got Hockey Night in Canada in colour so cpt. Kirk played by Canadian born William Shatner had CBC HNIC in colur so it is a star trek inside joke since Gene wopuld was in the TV industry paramount would of had known about the dish design to see if they would let them lincese shows to be broadcast onver it in Canada so Gene also being ex-navy just basd the TOS deflrctor dish on the Civillian model that would of picked up the show in techno colour on what chnnnel paramount had a license agreement to broadcast with on the ANIK A1 satellite.
(Prior to Anik A1's launch, all geosynchronous communications satellites were transcontinental, i.e. Intelsat I and others.) The Anik A fleet of satellites gave the CBC the ability to reach the Canadian North for the first time. Each of the satellites was equipped with 12 C-bandtransponders, and thus had the capacity for 12 colour television channels.
star trek had the Cellphone the I-pad and got colour TV from the CBC before they became real and what PC does scotty use in Star trek IV where they deal with space based time travel and think what Steve jobs may have been influence to create but at the time technology as not advanced enough to do what made the scene funny but is on every apple product today.
If, as is postulated, the magnetic field is generated by the rotation of the Earth's iron core and the direction of the field follows the right hand rule. Would not a reversal of the field require a reversal or flipping of the spin axis of the core? Is so where did all the angular momentum of the mass of spinning iron go? The core is a form of gyroscope and should act as one as the spin axis rotates to a new direction. How would reversing the physical direction of spin affect the rest of the earth? Would the drag on the mantel by the core not adjust the spin of the earth? Or does the entire world physically flip over as the core reverses spin?

Debating whether the magenetic field generated by a Starship relative to the field produced by a Planet is ridiculous even with "Star Trek Technology"!

Just the Magnetic Poles reverse..... this is a Scientific Fact!
However the time it takes to reverse is debatable.
IF there is an interval WITHOUT a Magnetic Field protecting the Earth then ALL life on our Planet is at great risk.
It appears it takes millenia to flip...... with hundreds of years lacking a coherent/protective field to protect life in the meantime.
The Earth itself will be fine; lifeforms however(including humans)are at great risk from added radiation doses.
IIRC, the flip is almost instantaneous on a geologic scale. Tracking of the magnetic pole and rotational pole have been done for a surprisingly long time. I was astounded, while reading some old Pop Mechanics, to find that the wandering of the rotational pole was fully documented back in the 1920s.
Yeah, I seemed to remember the migrating birds getting a bit confused from time to time.

Actually, it was Steve Wozniak who created the Apple computers. Steve Jobs was merely a hanger-on, contributed nothing, and had no computer skills, but he was Wozniak's friend.

Excellent question. I read somewhere that the field is not from the core itself, but the interaction of it to "blobs" (for lack of a better word) of material near it. Remember that magnetized iron loses its magnetism as temperatures increase, and the core is very hot.
