Why is it physically unlikely? Celestial bodies rotate. If the core of the Earth was spinning in the opposite direction we would find great heat at the core and a magnetic field around the planet, which is exactly what we see - I don't see the unlikely part. Writing "there is no reason given...- budapest

The proposal is this: The core of the Earth rotates in the opposite direction to the Earth's...- budapest
