Hey Cancer, quit trying to destroy the universe!

As it happens, the BBC had a story on this today. The article is grotesquely false. The geophysicist interviewed explained that the inner core was rotating slightly faster than the Earth's upper layers. It's slowed down a little, so its rotation now matches the rest of the planet. It may gradually slow to spin just a bit slower than the upper layers, but it has not stopped or reversed directions.

 

But apparently quite a few articles present similar misunderstanding. I can only guess whether that many science reporters are that ignorant or incompetent, or if they are deliberately misunderstanding for the sake of clickbait.

 

(My contact among the Corefolk says, "Why shouldn't the Earth's atmosphere rotate at a different rate than the planet proper?")
