Reply to comment by thebiologyguy84 in Earth's inner core seems to be slowing its spin according to new research published in Nature Geoscience. The study authors suggest this might be part of an approximately 70-year cycle where the core speeds up and slows down relative to the rest of the planet. by shiruken
Hopefully.. but I always worry about what would happen if a Carrington Event (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event ) strikes earth in the modern era. We are so dependent on devices that are sensitive to electromagnetic inferences, it's going to be hard to imagine how difficult it would be to replace our transformers if we are caught unaware by such an event
