Imagine the very heart of our planet—the Earth’s core—coming to a complete stop and then spinning in the opposite direction. It sounds like the plot of a sci-fi movie, but new research suggests this incredible event might be happening right now. Scientists from Peking University and the University of Southern California have found compelling evidence that the Earth’s inner core has halted its usual rotation and begun reversing, a shift that could already be influencing life on the surface.
