Earth’s core is spinning faster than the planet’s surface — a discovery revealed through seismic wave data from earthquakes. Scientists have tracked this for decades, finding the inner core slowed around 2010 and may even be reversing. This complex motion, driven by interactions between Earth’s solid inner core, liquid outer core, and mantle, could subtly affect day length by milliseconds. New evidence suggests this rotation shift might follow a roughly 70-year cycle, hinting at a possible return to faster spin — or a pause in slowing. It’s a hidden engine beneath our feet, constantly…
