Chinese scientists have caused panic in the West with a statement about the reversal of the rotation of the Earth’s core

Published in an authoritative British publication nature geoscience, devoted to the sciences of the Earth, the study of Chinese scientists Yi Yang and Xiaodong Song caused a heated discussion in the Western press. Journalists of socio-political publications began to talk about how the data received by specialists from the PRC can influence the processes taking place on the planet.

Chinese scientists analyzed the seismic waves generated by earthquakes and concluded that the Earth’s inner core has “almost stopped its rotation in the last decade” and may be starting to rotate “in the other direction” right now. The researchers noted that repetitive seismic waves have come into their focus since the early 1990s. In their work, they show that all trajectories that previously showed significant temporal changes have undergone minor changes over the past decades. “This model is global in nature and suggests that the rotation inside the nucleus has recently stopped,” the Chinese scientists said in a study.

The published work of Yi Yang and Xiaodong Song caused a heated discussion in the Western press about the influence of the earth’s core on the processes taking place on the planet. In particular, in article The Washington Post notes that the data obtained make one think about the influence of the planet’s core on the length of the day and fluctuations in the Earth’s magnetic field.

“The changes they noticed are acceptable, although what is actually happening is not so clear,” says American professor John Vidale, whose opinion leads business edition of The Wall Street Journal. The American daily newspaper The New York Times notedthat it sounds like preparation for “a world-destroying blockbuster”, but the author of the article urged his audience not to worry.

Formerly MK wrotethat astronomer Gennady Borisov reported that asteroid 2023 BU was approaching planet Earth. Its diameter is approximately five to six meters. On Thursday this week, January 26, an asteroid will pass several thousand kilometers from our planet. The celestial body is bright enough to be seen from Earth, and observations can be made even with an amateur telescope.
