“No, maybe that wasn’t it. Words precede and surpass me, they tempt and alter me, and if I am not careful it will be too late: things will be said without my having said them. Or, at the very least, that wasn’t the only thing. My entanglement comes from how a carpet is made of so many threads that I can’t resign myself to following just one; my ensnarement comes from how one story is made of many stories. And I can’t even tell them all— a more truthful word could from echo to echo cause my highest glaciers to crumble down the precipice.” - Clarice Lispector

0·11 days agoshrugs The nice thing about open access papers is I can (and always do) link to them when available so you can just go read the introduction and conclusion/discussion of paper for yourself, or read the “popular science” article take on it, or both! Your choice! While I would say this headline is definitely clickbait grabby, there is fascinating science behind it so I find it hard to get upset at in this case.
Also not to be obnoxiously semantic about the physics, but the only thing that isn’t just a question of perspective here is acceleration not velocity. It is valid from a perspective of constant rotation to observe an object slowing down in its rotation with respect to you and conclude it is changing directions, the only absolute thing that can be said here is to quantify the degree and orientation of acceleration… but I get the spirit of your point and focusing on this detail is kind of missing the broader point of what you are saying I realize that.
I editorialized the headline a tiny bit to add some context to reduce the “THE EARTH HAS CHANGED DIRECTIONS” headline grabby feel because you are right.

0·11 days agoI don’t really know the specifics but yes, it does occasionally change, you can see evidence of this in minerals that formed in rocks that were sensitive to magnetic fields resulting in orientations that using geological context could be used to established the direction of the magnetic field.
This is about the specific granular flows of magma near the surface though, we aren’t talking about a global unified shift but rather a study that reveals that magma flows beneath the crust are much more localized, dynamic and unique to their idiosyncrasies than the picture had suggested before.

4·19 days agoI very lightly do this to deer when they are hanging out all sketchy at night right next to fast country roads with that look in their eye like you know they are just itching to get spooked and leap out in front of a car.
Cars are too quiet, I roll down my window and yell at em to get out of the road.
