Earths core spinning faster than its crust - Science - MSNBC.com

"The giant iron ball at the center of the Earth appears to be spinning a bit faster than the rest of the planet. The solid core that measures about 1,500 miles in diameter is spinning about one-quarter to one-half degree faster, per year, than the rest of the world, scientists from Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign report in Friday's issue of the journal Science."

This is basically a "thought you'd like to know" situation, isn't it? Whether it's supposed to be spinning faster or not, there isn't really much we can do about it. My only question is, this isn't gonna send us back in time eventually or anything, right? The article doesn't mention the various time travel scenarios that may result from the earth's core spinning faster than its crust. I really don't wanna wake up one day and everyone's got feathered hair and bell bottoms on and I'm the only idiot looking like I just came from the future. Talk about awkward!
