For the past 14 years, Earth's inner core has been rotating more slowly than before, potentially leading to a lengthening of Earth's days. This trend was identified in a new study published in Nature, indicating that the inner core's deceleration might affect the rotation of the outer layers of the planet. However, any resulting changes in day length would be minimal and imperceptible to humans, likely not requiring adjustments to clocks or calendars. The phenomenon of the inner core slowing down, known as backtracking, has been difficult to prove but recent data analysis provides compelling evidence for this occurrence.
