Short summary
By analyzing 45 years of Very Long Baseline Interferometry data, we found that the liquid outer core and solid mantle are more strongly coupled than expected, likely due to topography at their boundary. The solid inner core is also less rigidly connected to the outer core. These results challenge current models of Earth's deep interior, core dynamics, and magnetic field generation, with implications for geophysics and space navigation.
