But scientists don’t say the Earth will start rotating in the opposite direction. There is nothing that can cause the Earth to stop rotating in its current direction and start rotating in the opposite direction. It would take a large mass very close to the Earth in the right location and the right trajectory to cause this. The ‘pole shift theory’ is the hypothesis that the axis of rotation of Earth changes – that its physical poles will shift. It is established that true polar wander has occurred at various times in the past, but at rates of 1 degree per million years or so. That is a very small change over a very long time (no way we would notice even over a lifetime). But because people don’t understand scientific terminology, misconceptions and misunderstandings are common. Pole shift hypotheses are also not to be confused with geomagne
