Earth's Inner Core May Have Started Rotating in the Opposite Direction
Newsweek ^ | 23 Jan 2023 | Aristos Georgiou

The rotation of the Earth's inner core may be reversing, scientists have found in a study that sheds new light on geological processes occurring deep within our planet.

The results of the research, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, indicate that changes in the rotation of the inner core could take place on a scale of decades. The study's authors told Newsweek the findings have implications for our understanding of how the core influences the other layers of the Earth....

...these changes are likely part of an oscillation that takes place over roughly seven decades, with a previous turning point occurring in the early 1970s....

I’m pretty sure that is the earth’s core reversed the direction of its rotation, it must have stopped at some point.

This would mean that the molten iron core would no longer be creating our magnetosphere.

Thus, lethal cosmic radiation would be undeterred from penetrating the atmosphere to the earth’s surface.

Ergo, we are all dead?

In the 60s in elementary school in SoCal I asked if oil was from dinosaurs why are there fossils in the LA Brea Tarpits?

I also questioned Pluto being a planet.

My science teacher didn’t like me.
