Core Torsional Oscillations (Core Angular-Momentum Derivation)
mechanism
The real physics of Earth's spinning core sets hard limits -- and it flatly rules out the idea of a sudden planet-flipping catastrophe.
Who they are
Core torsional oscillations, a scientific model of how Earth's molten core flows and shifts.
What they do
It's a peer-reviewed geophysics approach that works out the core's angular momentum from how the core-mantle boundary moves.
How it works
The models treat core flow as steady on nested cylinders around the rotation axis, deriving momentum from measured velocities -- and this real magnetohydrodynamics sets a ceiling on what's physically possible.
Why it matters
It serves as a scientific bound that limits, rather than supports, the claim of a rapid Earth-crust displacement (ECDO) -- grounding the debate in real physics.
The engine's record — word for word
Decadal core-flow models treat flow as constant on coaxial cylinders parallel to the rotation axis, deriving core angular momentum from CMB velocities. Real magnetohydrodynamics that bound, not enable, the ECDO claim. [TIER GEOPHYSICS-PEER-REVIEW] [Report #103 (ECDO)]
