Scientists have made a significant discovery by confirming that the earth's core is presently slowing down and even drifting backward. According to a recent study published in Nature, scientists have verified the slowdown and supported the theory that the planet is in the middle of a 70-year cycle. However, when the earth's rotation will reverse direction are yet unknown to scientists. Experts claim that this reversal of events has occurred for the past 40 years, and this time they have "most definitive evidence" to support their claim that the earth is actually going backward.

Seismic waves from earthquakes and nuclear testing typically pass through the inner core, according to John Vidale and his teams. They also disclosed that roughly 100 earthquakes occurred in the South Sandwich Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean at the same faultlines and in the same region between 1991 and 2023. According to Vidale, the movement of the earth's inner core is visible in the variations in waveforms. Consequently, we might conclude that there is in fact backtracking.

How Does That Impact Us?

Scientists speculate that because of a potential slowdown in the earth's rotation, the days may be growing longer. These adjustments, nevertheless, are too subtle to be perceived. Given that reversals have been occurring for the past forty years, there is less chance of such a significant shift. This unexpected occurrence represents a significant advancement in geophysical study and offers fresh perspectives on the dynamic processes in the core of the Earth.
