Will this cause any problems or issues?

Yes, it will cause huge, terrible problems and we'll have to burrow to the centre of the earth and restart the core with nuclear bombs. Very exciting time to be alive!!

I have an f150, pop the nuclear device in the back and everyone pile in. It's not technically made to drill to the Earth's core but it has 4wd and I don't mind if it gets dirty.

Honestly, I'd watch the hell out of that if it was done as a parody remake

The original wasn't a Parody? Because I remember laughing very hard watching The Core.

It's unintentionally funny in many spots for it not to be. Farcical

I mean honestly what's the point of having a truck if you're not putting a nuclear device in it every now and then?

I hope we have enough unobtainium or we're in big trouble!

Shiiiet, someone call Bruce Willis and Ben Afflec. World needs saving again.

Don't forget Hillary Swank and the government to have a spare few billion dollars lying around!

Earths magnetic field is linked to the cores rotations. I would assume the slowing would cause a decrease in the field that will give less protection to the sun's radiation. I'd also assume the change will be negligible for us normies (non-scientists) to worry about.

Hopefully.. but I always worry about what would happen if a Carrington Event (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event ) strikes earth in the modern era. We are so dependent on devices that are sensitive to electromagnetic inferences, it's going to be hard to imagine how difficult it would be to replace our transformers if we are caught unaware by such an event

It's linked to rotational currents in the liquid outer core, not the solid inner core.

I don't think so, the earth has been at this for 4.5 billion years. Just like the magnetic poles switching (that may cause problems with electronics).

Probably polar reversal. Maybe why we are experiencing no winter in the northern hemisphere. Soon our Winters will be our Summers and our Summers will be our Winters.

No, thats not how seasons work. Seasons are caused by Earth's tilt. And we are experiencing winter in the northern hemisphere.

I hope you are being sarcastic. That's not how any of this works.

I think the summer/winter thing has more to do with the tilt of the rotational axis than any thing to do with the speed of inner core.
