Scientists and researchers from Peking University in China, Yi Yang and Xiadong Song, have discovered that the Earth’s core He stopped or has stopped rotating in the same direction as the rest of the planet.
Through the study published in the journal Nature Geoscience, specialists of Chinese origin have concluded that the earth corehas even begun to rotate contrary to the planet, that is, it has adopted a inverted rotationto.
However, and as catastrophic as the foregoing may be, the truth is that this phenomenon would not have consequences of great impact on the planet’s daily life itself, however, it would affect various aspects such as the length of days and the function of the magnetic field from the earth.
What does it mean that the Earth’s core has stopped?
The immensity of film and television productions regarding the Earth and its diversity of behaviors have made us pale and feel that we could die at any moment in the face of any abnormal reaction on the planet.
Therefore, when we hear news like this, alarms usually appear to the point of imagining an apocalyptic situation or certain death. However, according to Peking University experts, this usually happens every few years.
This is because the earth core, which reaches a temperature similar to that of the surface of the sun, moves freely and independently in the center of the planet. To confirm this, various scientists have relied on the measurement of seismic waves, created by earthquakes and nuclear explosions.
What does this phenomenon mean?
From this postulation, Song and Yang have analyzed seismic waves from 200 earthquakes to determine that the inner core stopped in 2009 and then turned the other way.
Within the study it is also revealed that this phenomenon could reach another standstill in the 2040s. This, although it would seem an atypical situation, would have various consequences on the daily life of the planet, such as having slightly shorter days, affecting the climate as well as there are changes in the magnetic field.
