Earth's core rotating in reverse, slowing down significantly

Mint — July 7, 2024, 01:00 PM UTC

Summary: Earth's core is rotating in reverse, slowing down dramatically. The inner core, mainly iron and nickel, is separate from the planet's rotation. Data from seismograms show a continuous decrease in rotation speed compared to the surface. Scientists predict this slowdown is part of a long-term pattern.

I'm replacing the original 8-factor scoring system with a new and improved one. It doesn't use the original factors and gives much better significance scores.
