Earth's Inner Core Has Slowed So Much That It Is Now Moving Backward: Research
In these modern times, we often take the stability of our world for granted. However, an academic revelation suggests we are in the midst of a change so drastic that it feels as if the very ground beneath our feet is shifting. Well, at least the ground 3,220 miles beneath our feet, in Earth’s inner core. Summarized Insights: • Earth's inner core decelerates, reverses. • Core rotation affects magnetic field. • Research reveals 70-year rotation cycle. • Further interdisciplinary studies needed. Research spearheaded by Dr. John Vidale, Dean’s Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Southern California’s Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, has confirmed a slow deceleration of Earth’s inner core rotation to the point where it is moving backward. This perplexing shift may have profound implications for our planet. Our Earth holds a secret deep within. Discovered by Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann in 1936, the Earth’s inner core is...
