From the internet: Far below the Earth’s surface, thousands of kilometres beneath our feet, our planet’s core seems to be doing something a bit unusual. The Earth’s inner core, an insanely hot iron ball roughly the size of Pluto, appears to have stopped spinning, and researchers say it might even be spinning the other way. New research published Monday in the Nature Geoscience journal analyzed seismic waves from repeating earthquakes over the last six decades and concluded that the core’s rotation stopped around the year 2009 and then slowly restarted in the opposite direction. And while it’s largely unknown what impacts these directional changes have above the Earth’s surface, the study’s researchers say they can see an established pattern in which the core, relative to the Earth’s surface, operates as a sort of swing, changing direction approximately every 70 years. Well I made it through One Direction Change I didn't feel any difference.
