Earth’s inner core paused, then reversed its spin. This is fine

When you spin an egg, the impetus for the spin is applied ONLY to the shell.
In a cooked egg, the solid interior picks that energy up and quickly carries it throughout the egg.
In a raw egg, the energy is transferred slowly, the viscous interior tends NOT to transfer the change of energy/motion.

For the Earth, the last known ( or reasonably speculated ) application of energy that could effect the spin was a collision between the Earth and a mass that formed the Moon.
It would take that kind of energy applied to the surface and Mantel, then the core. The only cause of change I can see is that the core rotates at a different speed than the rest of the planet, which is possible in my mind, and some one is seeing that difference and calling it a “change of direction.” Much the way a person in a fast car sees the truck going in the same direction at a slower speed, and thinks the truck is going backwards.
If there is anything significant in this issue, it is some ‘scientists’ perception and not significant.

Geologists claim that the magnetic poles have reversed MANY times.

That is how you can tell if egg has been already cooked or not.

1.5 months ... six days of dark, followed by six more days of dark, takes a month and a half for the Earth to recover chaos earthquakes pretty big mess, best to be in the middle of one of the large continents
