Dreamwalkerofyore writes “The New York Times has an article on a recent affirmation that the earth’s core rotates faster than the earth proper. From the article: ‘Confirming assertions first made in 1996, a team of geophysicists are presenting data in the journal Science today showing that the earth’s inner core… spins faster than the rest of the planet. Over a period of 700 to 1,200 years, the inner core appears to make one full extra spin. That extra spin could give scientists information about how the earth generates its magnetic field.’”
