In their study, scientists came to the conclusion that the Earth's inner core has practically stopped its rotation in the last ten years.
They also write that in connection with this, it may begin to rotate in the other direction.
This study led to controversy in the West about the influence of the earth's core on the processes occurring on the Earth.
For example, an article in The Washington Post says that the results of the study make us think about the influence of the Earth's core on the length of the day.
The New York Times, in turn, noted that the findings sound like preparation for a "world-destroying blockbuster."
