Title: “Earth’s Inner Core May Have Started Rotating in the Opposite Direction”
First sentence: “The rotation of the Earth’s inner core may be reversing...”
There’s a big difference between just rotating in the opposite direction, and slowing down.
In fact, I would posit that slowing down of the relative rotation of the core is to be predicted, over a great lengths of geologic time, due to friction of fluids.
Suggesting that it’s just going to spontaneously reverse itself, while obviously meant to be a gripping headline, is sensationalism.
If I am not mistaken, it is the iron composition of the earths core and it’s relative rotation that causes our magnetic field. It would actually be doing us a favor if it just “reversed” rather than gradually slowed down.
Inertia continues
