Earth's inner core stopped spinning - InsightsIndex

Earth's inner core stopped spinning. On Monday 23rd January 2023, research suggested that Earth's inner core, a hot iron ball the size of Pluto, has stopped spinning in the same direction as the rest of the planet and might even be rotating the other way. The theory is that Earth's magnetic field pulls the inner core and causes it to spin, while the gravitational field of the mantle creates a counter force, dragging on the inner core. Every few decades, one force may win out over the other, changing the spin of the great iron ball. Seeking to track the inner core's movements, new research published in the journal Nature Geoscience analyzed seismic waves from repeating earthquakes over the last six decades. We believe the inner core rotates, relative to the Earth's surface, back and forth, like a swing.

Don’t believe this guys it didn’t stop spinning 💀

Did you know that a decade = 10 years? 7 decades = 70 years not 35 like you say in you clip

This video goes against literally all of the laws of physics. Can I un-view this?

I don't believe anything I read or see.
