Recent research has provided evidence that the Earth's inner core has been experiencing a slowdown in its rotation

As per researchers, this deceleration could cause small changes in length of a day on Earth, altering it by fractions of a second.

This finding has sparked vigorous debate as some studies suggested that inner core rotates faster than the Earth's surface.

The slowing of the inner core’s rotation is a significant discovery with wide-ranging implications.

It may have potential impacts on our understanding of timekeeping and the planet’s geophysical processes.
