New research confirms the rotation of Earth's inner core has been slowing down as part of a decades-long pattern. How this slowdown might affect our planet remains an open question.
Research published June 12 in the journal Nature not only confirms the core slowdown
it supports the 2023 proposal that this core deceleration is part of a decades-long pattern of slowing down and speeding up.

The new findings also confirm that the changes in rotational speed follow a 70-year cycle, said study coauthor Dr. John Vidale
@ecksmc =)
@MrGoat lol
Earth’s core has slowed so much it’s moving backward, scientists confirm. Here’s what it could mean < < was the headline grabbed my attention 😆
