But not all are convinced that the matter is settled, and how a slowdown of the inner core might affect our planet is still an open question — though some experts say Earth’s magnetic field could come into play

@ecksmc did it just reverse its rotation?
@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 😆
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
