Scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) have demonstrated that the Earth’s inner core is retreating, meaning it is slowing down relative to the planet’s surface, as shown in new research published in Nature. The movement of the inner core has been debated within the scientific community for two decades, with some studies indicating that the inner core rotates faster than the Earth’s surface. The new USC study provides unequivocal evidence that the inner core began to decrease its speed around 2010, moving slower than the Earth’s surface. “When I first saw the seismograms that hinted at this change, … Continue reading New USC Study Reveals Earth’s Inner Core Slows Down: Discover the Unseen Impact on Global Time Measurements
