    New Research Reveals Earth's Inner Core is Slowing Down and Moving Backward: Implications for Geology

    Broke On: Friday, 05 July 2024 New research reveals that Earth's inner core, a solid metal ball deep within the Earth, has experienced significant changes in rotation speed. Recent studies suggest it once rotated faster than Earth but is now slowing down and even moving backward relative to surrounding fluid layers. Seismic waves provide insights into this phenomenon, which follows a 70-year cycle. Possible causes include geostationary satellites, and implications for Earth's geology are still under investigation.
