After watching, "The Core"(2003), a few questions popped into my mind at the painful display of physics:

If the core really did stop spinning (hahahaha, like that would happen), what would be the result? Would it affect gravity at all?

(I realize how asinine I sound, but I really need to know possible answers to these questions.)

The core rotates slightly faster (I think its faster) than the rest of the earth. If it stopped, we wouldn't even notice.

I think we would notice. I think that it would probably trigger earthquakes and mess up the magnetic poles.
