Earth's Core Changes Spin Direction?

By looking at changes in these waves, they can get some idea of what's going on within Earth's inner layers, far deeper than any drills and instruments can reach. Their data details the change in seismic waves across many decades, starting with Alaskan records from the early 1960s up until recordings gathered in 2021.

The data showed that parts of the core that previously showed clear signs of variation suddenly exhibited very little change around 2009, which they say suggests that the inner core rotation paused.

apparently this won't affect the rest of us much.
might have some impact on the magnetic pole

Earth's core, specifically its outer core, influences the planet’s magnetic field. Since the North Magnetic Pole was first scientifically documented in the early 19th century, it has wandered some 2,250 kilometers (1,400 miles) across the upper stretches of the Northern Hemisphere from Canada towards Siberia.

Between 1990 and 2005, the rate of this movement accelerated from less than 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) per year to around 50 to 60 kilometers (31 to 37 miles) per year. This flux is likely to be the effect of two magnetic "blobs" of molten material in the planet's interior, causing a titanic shift of its magnetic field.

this sort of science is pretty new. only recently have we had the tech to examine such things as core rotation.

I'm not scientist enough to understand the repercussions, if any. anyone with knowledge of?
do we expect earthquake action from this?

As fascinating as this sounds...I, like you, know very little about it! It is certainly a new science and not a lot is known about it yet I suspect!

I would think that mother nature knows what she is doing and if so...this would not be the first of this occurrence in the core of the earth! In fact as new as this is...it could happen at regular intervals for all we know!

Still pretty interesting...maybe earthquakes...maybe nothing at all! We shall see I suppose!

Professor Charles Hapgood (1904-1982) authored books, and his belief in periodic cataclysmic pole shifts. Einstein even wrote a forward to his book 'Earth's Shifting Crust'.

Hapgood then went on to study archeology and ancient stories on the Motherland, Mu. He's written several books on the subject, and I've enjoyed every one I've read so far.

His ideas were ridiculed as pseudoarcheology by mainstream scientists. Maybe he was just ahead of his time and it's taken this long for the scientific evidence to be uncovered and understood?

The original paper suggests that the core rotation is actually oscillating with respect to the mantle. In other words, the outer part of the globe (the part we live on) is rotating at a relatively constant speed, while the core periodically speeds up a little and then slows down again over an approximate 7 decade long cycle.

Apparently they've only had the technology to look for this for about the last 30 years or so, so it probably has been happening basically forever and we just didn't know it. They speculate that it is driven by a magnetic coupling between the geodynamo that creates the Earth's magnetic field and the inner core.

Scientifically interesting, but probably won't affect the price of tea in China.

Interesting, thanks.

This YouTube video includes some interesting thoughts related to your post.

youtu.be...

Also in the published paper forming the basis of the article (which I haven't read in full) mentions in the Synopsis "lengthening of day" and impacts on the "magnetic field" as a result of the 'blob shifts'.

which they say suggests that the inner core rotation paused.

man that's some bullsh@@ right there, everybody knows when the core stops everybody dies. i guess who ever wrote the article didn't watch the movie.

100%!!!

You're right...I did see that movie...so ya...if the core stops we all die!

End of story...the movie is proof!

Is there proof Earth has a molten core? Or a core at all?

Hollow Earth Theory seems more and more plausible to me everyday

So this thing that we can't be sure is a thing has possibly stopped spinning? Yeah OK.

I posted some thought on this in another thread, so I'll just requote myself here:

So according to that article this happens every 70 years. I had an AI look up volcanic activities for those times and discovered:

"In 1953, several Kamchatka volcanoes in Russia, including Shiveluch, Bezymianny, and Kliuchevskoi, erupted. The eruption of Shiveluch volcano began on March 31 and continued for several months, emitting ash and pyroclastic flows that caused widespread damage to the surrounding area. The eruption of Bezymianny volcano began on December 27, 1952 and continued into 1953, also emitting ash and pyroclastic flows. The eruption of Kliuchevskoi volcano was less significant but still emitted ash and caused some damage to the surrounding area.

The eruption of Shiveluch volcano was one of the largest and most destructive in the 20th century, the ash fall covered an area of over 150,000 square kilometers, causing serious damage to agriculture and infrastructure, such as roads and bridges. The ash fall also caused health problems for the population and animals, and the eruption forced the evacuation of several villages. The eruption of Bezymianny volcano was also one of the most destructive of the 20th century, the ash fall and pyroclastic flows caused damage to the surrounding area and forced the evacuation of several villages.

The eruption of these volcanoes in Kamchatka peninsula in Russia, is a reminder of the power of volcanic activity and the potential impact it can have on local communities and the environment."
This was a VEI of 4

70 years before that:
"The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, a volcano located in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra in Indonesia, was one of the most deadly and destructive volcanic eruptions in recorded history. The eruption began in May 1883 and reached its climax on August 26, 1883, when the volcano erupted with a series of massive explosions that were heard as far away as Rodrigues Island in the Indian Ocean, more than 3,000 miles (4,800 km) away.

The eruption caused widespread destruction and resulted in the deaths of more than 36,000 people, mostly from the tsunamis caused by the eruption. Ash, pumice, and volcanic dust were thrown as high as 80 km (50 mi) into the atmosphere, and the ash cloud blocked out sunlight for days, causing a "volcanic winter" effect. The ash also caused a decline in temperature and a cooling of the ocean surface."
The VEI of that eruption was a 6.

It should be noted that in 1815 Tambora erupted causing the year without a summer, and last year Hunga Tonga went bye-bye. Here's why I had the AI do the work for me. Exposure of agendas. This is what I was told about the Hunga Tonga volcano:
"Regarding Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai, it is a volcanic island located in the southern Pacific Ocean, it is a submerged volcano that last erupted in 2009, and it was last seen above sea level in January 2015. It is not considered a permanent island and it is not inhabited, it is a part of the Kingdom of Tonga, but it is not considered a part of the main island chain. The island was formed by a volcanic eruption in December 2014 and January 2015 and it was expected to erode and submerge again within a few years. As my knowledge cut-off is in 2021, I do not have any recent information about this island, but from what I know it is not a permanent island and there is no information about any significant eruptions in 2022."

So, it would seem that if a person was doing a report about geological effects from a slowing or even stopping core, the AI can provide that information, but only for older non-topical stories. One thing I have noticed is how much of last years volcano eruption on Tonga keeps getting lost of both media sources as well as peoples memories. Why the cover -up?

Anyways, if the report is true, then a correlation between a slower core and more violent volcanic activity can be drawn. I think we should buckle-up if last year was just a taste of what's to come.

This post was about the slowing core, but with the help of an AI, I was able to find that there were some effects of this core issue in relation to volcanic activity.

This post was about how this isn't a big deal for us here on Earth since it happens geologically quite often:

If the core is spinning within a bath of liquid magma, then wouldn't flip around periodically by default? Wouldn't this perception of a slowing core just be a measure of the core's spin while in the act of flipping?

From my earlier post about this, even though I used an AI to dig through the results for me, it would seem that this type of thing happens regularly enough so that most people will have to deal with this event at least once or even twice during their lifetime. I don't see why anyone should be concerned or panic over this new information. It does seem that when these flips happen a ramp up of volcanic activity seems to occur, but that's about it.

Nobody panicked when the water cycle was proven or did the end of the world happen when it was realized that the Earth rotated causing the day/night cycle, nor did anyone freakout after we learned about why winter happened. I don't see why we should run to the bunkers over this news either.

And finally this post here had a nice link to a story about the core changing direction:

Just posting a follow up. I guess I was more right then wrong?
From: phys.org
"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, research suggested on Monday.

Roughly 5,000 kilometers (3,100 miles) below the surface we live on, this "planet within the planet" can spin independently because it floats in the liquid metal outer"
So as I stated above, the slowing or stoppage was just because it's rotating the other way.

In essence, this really isn't a big deal, but is good to know. That's about it. Oh, also it might be an explanation for the regularities of major volcanic activities.

No, just NO…….

I can’t………

Hapgood wasn't the only one. There have been many "fringe" researchers ("Chan" Thomas, etc) who posit the crust slipping as one of the only answers to certain anomalies. Unfortunately, the science gets bogged down in catastrophism vs uniformatarianism and then religion vs atheism, etc, etc blah blah.

However, the mass of evidence points to some very bad, relatively recent events. Recent observations by some Youtubers (Brightinsight, etc) of the Sahara, Australia and Western US provide some evidence of massive seawater inundation... to informed layman's eyes, anyway. What could slosh an ocean over a whole continent?

Occultist and indigenous lore routinely points to cycles of civilization and disaster.

A coming global extinction event would answer many questions about the seemingly insane actions of governments, of late. Let's hope it's incorrect or at least only partially so.

Yes, they said the core did stop spinning around year 2005 and just returned to normal albeit reverse operation. Let's hope we all die soon.

Hollow earth. Don’t be ridiculous.

Everyone knows discs don’t have a core.

And that the rim is a huge ice wall, containing us in this inner plane, with the elementals populating the outer quadrants of the plane and demons on the underside.

I saw that completely wrong story, which they have since corrected.

It didn't change direction and they corrected the story in multiple places to correct that whale-sized blunder. Other sources said the core stopped spinning and it didn't stop spinning either, so there are plenty of wrong articles circulating.

Correction note (January 25, 2023): Corrects throughout story dated January 23 to say that core's rotation has slowed compared to Earth's surface, not changed direction.

I would also add the relative changes in spin rate are absolutely tiny, like suggesting the degrees per year of rotation of the inner core slowed from rotating 131487.3 degrees per year to 131487.2 degrees per year, and that's only if you believe the scientists making that claim. There are other scientists who don't believe the inner core rotation hypothesis and say the observed changes are due to "physical changes on the surface of the inner core"

Later studies refined estimates of the rate of that ‘super-rotation’, to conclude that the inner core rotates faster than the mantle by about one-tenth of a degree per year. But not everyone agrees. Other work has suggested that super-rotation happens mostly in distinct periods, such as in the early 2000s, rather than being a continuous, steady phenomenon. Some scientists even argue that super-rotation does not exist, and that the differences in earthquake travel times are instead caused by physical changes on the surface of the inner core.

That phys.org article isn't the only one that was wrong, there are others which still haven't been corrected, but at least phys.org corrected their article.

Why would you fill your head with such garbage, then not do any critical thinking or research to find out it's total garbage, and then post it here in a thread where it's not even remotely related to the topic of the thread?

Cranks were making similar doom porn claims in 2012 and that claim is similar even though it doesn't refer to 2012 anymore, it's still along the same lines. Earth already passed through the plane of the galaxy 3 million years ago and is moving away from it, and won't enter it again for another 30 million years, as explained here:
