So the second law of thermodynamics is false ? You seem confused. ![xob8ghyzAVdD2isQq0jt](http://storage.proboards.com/1346968/images/xob8ghyzAVdD2isQq0jt.gif) I understand your frustration. The physics of energy transfer requires years of schooling. Also a dissertation that addresses the field of study. We all reside at different spots on the socio-economic ladder. You seem repeatedly confused that there could be a possible rebuttal to the second law of thermodynamics. There isn't.

Even your meme is an error. Note the VU above the gradients. A volume unit (VU) meter or standard volume indicator (SVI) is a device displaying a representation of the signal level in audio equipment.

In regards to the actual topic, the earth's core is rotating in the same direction as the outer shell, just slightly slower. They were in sync in 2009. An article in CNN and other places are noting this as a 'reverse' which is not actually true. Unless you only consider it as a relation to outer shell rotation. Earth's inner core rotating slower than surface, study suggests (Update) by Daniel Lawler
Deep below the surface, the Earth's inner core may have changed direction, new research suggests. Earth's inner core, a hot iron ball the size of Pluto, has stopped spinning faster than the planet's surface and might now be rotating slower than it, research suggested on Monday.
Roughly 5,000 kilometers (3,100 miles) below the surface we live on, this "planet within the planet" can spin independently because it floats in the liquid metal outer core.
Exactly how the inner core rotates has been a matter of debate between scientists—and the latest research is expected to prove controversial.
What little is known about the inner core comes from measuring the tiny differences in seismic waves—created by earthquakes or sometimes nuclear explosions—as they pass through the middle of the Earth.
Seeking to track the inner core's movements, new research published in the journal Nature Geoscience analyzed seismic waves from repeating earthquakes over the last six decades.
"We believe the inner core rotates, relative to the Earth's surface, back and forth, like a swing," the study's authors, Xiaodong Song and Yi Yang of China's Peking University, told AFP.
"One cycle of the swing is about seven decades," the authors said.
The inner core started rotating slightly faster than the rest of the planet in the early 1970s, the study said.
But it had been slowing down before coming in sync with Earth's rotation around 2009, it added.
There has been a "negative trend" since, the study said, meaning the inner core is now rotating slower than the surface.
The researchers predicted the next change would occur in the mid-2040s.
They said this rotation timeline roughly lines up with changes in what is called the "length of day"—small variations in the exact time it takes Earth to rotate on its axis

This is interesting, but it appears that this is theory more than fact. That is the case with a lot of things in science. They observe certain things and make guesses about the cause. I have come to the place that when they make claims of any type I take them with a grain of salt. If it is true, I have no idea how this would affect anything.

It has an almost non-measurable effect on the planets rotation. Mostly an exercise in mathematics.

An article in CNN and other places are noting this as a 'reverse' which is not actually true. That does make more sense. I mean how can the core start rotating in reverse? Really doesn't sound very probable.

Such an interesting article. I never knew much of this. I guess we who live on the surface of this earth, never have to think about any of this really. What we see of this earth is only a part of it, the whole inner earth is another story/mystery.

It's blamed on global warming/climate change.
