Exothermic Core-Mantle Decoupling – Dzhanibekov Oscillation (ECDO) Theory

An ECDO planet such as Earth is unusual in that it oscillates between two distinct rotational states—one stabilized by its magnetic field, the other governed by gyroscopic momentum. In this sense, the planet behaves like a geophysical yin and yang. This natural rhythm follows the weakening and renewal cycles of Earth’s magnetic field. When that field wanes, the stabilizing grip of the core relaxes, and the planet’s outer mass becomes more prone to decouple and settle into a purely gyroscopic balance.

In geophysical terms, this may unfold as episodes of True Polar Wander—moments when Earth’s entire outer shell, both crust and mantle, abruptly pivots around the spin axis to recover gyroscopic equilibrium. Today’s weakening magnetic field and the rapid heating of the abyssal oceans and climate may therefore stand as cautionary signals, warning us to remain alert for precursors of such a reorientation—events memorialized in the flood traditions of Noah, Deucalion, and Utnapishtim.

This Was Never Intended for Mere Mortal Eyes to See

Exothermic Core-Mantle Decoupling – Dzhanibekov Oscillation theory (ECDO Theory) encompasses a series of hypotheses regarding climate change and its relationship to the dynamics of the Earth’s core, as well as geophysical, monument, artifact, and cultural oral history evidence surrounding global cataclysms. It is solely the work of its author, The Ethical Skeptic, who developed the theory from 2010 until its first hypothesis publication on February 16, 2020.

This is the greatest saga ever to unfold, and it was right there before our eyes the entire time. These three original hypotheses form the foundation of The Ethical Skeptic’s ECDO Earth Cataclysm Theory. Within this summary, we outline a novel theory, the result of 25 years of research on the part of its author, comprising three primary novel hypotheses that link recent climate changes to specific alterations in the Earth’s core and mantle. These changes are proposed to lead to a decoupling of Earth’s core and mantle (H-layer or D” Layer), which may result in a recurrence of the cataclysmic inundations mentioned in many cultural oral histories. The three hypotheses are summarized in the articles below.

Article I. The Climate Change Alternative We Ignore (to Our Peril) – See Article Here

We propose that recent climate change may stem from structural and exothermic phase changes in the Earth’s nickel-iron core, rather than solely from human carbon and methane generating activity. Lattice structure changes in shed core material release latent kinetic energy (heat), which subsequently flows to the asthenosphere and abyssal ocean depths. This process could be the primary driver of observed climate change, the rapid ocean heating of 2023, methane outpacing climate model projections, and a long-associated weakening of the Earth’s geomagnetic dipole. Despite boasts to the contrary, climate change does not monitor the dynamic of heat released from the Earth’s core to its surface—choosing instead to employ model assumptions developed and left unchallenged for over a century.

Article II. Hidden in Plain Sight – See Article Here

We propose that the unique features observed on the Khufu and, most notably, the Khafre Pyramids indicate a prolonged period of oceanic displacement, lasting between 50 and 400 years, that submerged the Giza Plateau in antiquity. This inundation stabilized at a height of 576 feet above current sea level, leaving a distinctive ocean water karst erosion band near the top of the Khafre Pyramid. The sustained and stable nature of this inundation strongly suggests that it was caused by a change in the georotational dynamics of the Earth sometime within the last fourteen millennia. This constitutes ‘dead body’ evidence, and it must be addressed. This evidence, along with its supporting predictive observations, have been neglected through a malicious scientific embargo which exploits professional buffoonery.

Article III. Exothermic Core-Mantle Decoupling – Dzhanibekov Oscillation (ECDO) Hypothesis – See Article Here

This hypothesis proposes a regular cycling of a natural dynamic system. Our Earth just happens to have two mechanisms of rotational equilibrium battling for dominance. The strength of the geomagnetic core determines which one is winning at any given time. We propose that periodically, the Earth’s core loses its magnetic moment and decouples from the outer rotational body (ORB), which includes the mantle and crust. This decoupling causes a shift in the Earth’s geographic axis of rotation along the 31st East meridian (the same meridian upon which is located both the Giza Plateau as well as the geographic center of the Earth), moving towards South Africa. At this critical transition point the Earth’s inertial moment takes precedent over its magnetic moment causing this change in geographic location of its rotational axis. The process is facilitated by the lubricating effect of exothermic D” layer material shed from the core. These effects enable the Earth’s outer rotational body to shift from today’s geomagnetic mechanical equilibrium, to a 104-degree rotated momentum-conserving gyroscopic one (a mediated Dzhanibekov TPW rotation). The oceanic inundation from this cyclical and violent process is consistent with, and may be the impetus behind, the 175+ world ‘flood myths’—constituting a message important enough to be reflected in the inner design (and at one time, function) of the Khufu Pyramid itself. After a period of time and reversal in this Earth core condition the Earth rotates (is electromagnetically compelled) back to its magnetic moment priority where it spends the majority of its cycle.

Theory Elegance, Critical Path Inference, and Predictive Power

Our continuing research indicates that more than two hundred ancient monuments exhibit alignments corresponding to N_p′—the hypothesized secondary north georotational axis geographic position—proposed by ECDO Theory. These orientations do not correspond to the present rotational pole, nor to any solstitial, equinoctial, or equilux alignment. Among the structures conforming to this pattern are Sacsayhuamán, Gunung Padang, Malta’s Ġgantija Temples, the Great Pyramid of Giza, Puma Punku, and the Nazca Lines. This remarkable global consistency represents an extraordinary empirical confirmation—one among over thirty successful observational predictions of ECDO Theory.¹

It is our proposition that we are now well past an Indigo Point of exothermic core-mantle decoupling and that we have incorrectly interpreted the heat presented by this phenomenon as being caused solely by human activity. While we conjecture an interval for this catastrophic cycle in the second article, we still cannot confidently predict when the next instance will occur. Nonetheless, we cite that there exists an urgent need to consider the possibility and detect the approach of a subsequent Tau Point magnetic/geophysical-moment mediated Dzhanibekov gyroscopic oscillation in Earth’s rotation.

Such a rotation will likely produce the cataclysmic inundation we observe etched into the eroded Tura limestone casing of the Khafre Pyramid—an event echoed throughout many ancient cultural oral histories and monuments.

This petition for hypothesis is not intended to prompt individuals to seek survival points or build bunkers. Instead, its purpose is to introduce the theory for consideration within the framework of Ockham’s Razor plurality and to encourage its ongoing examination within competent scientific research. While it offers a postulate regarding Earth’s catastrophe cycle, the theory does not insist that the same exact sequence will recur, nor that it will adhere to a fixed interval.

Man himself has proved to be a greater threat to our knowledge and understanding than any natural disaster ever could be. Envy finds fault in the trivial, while a concealed truth intoxicates. Until we mature spiritually, we will perpetually believe that we were created out of clay or recently and amazingly evolved from a dissimilar yet extinct species.

Every ancient library burned, every inscription erased, every sculpture smitten, every artifact easily explained, reburied, and ignored – all in the name of The True God™ and The True Science™ (same team, same playbook). As long as our hearts remain in this darkened state, so too will our past be equally opaque, and our present a constant series of paradoxes.

1. A few, but not all, of the predictions I have made and confirmed with this theory:
   
   1. Earth’s three-moment body mass asymmetry.
   2. Dissolution and sloughing of the Earth’s inner core (found in 2024).
   3. Disagreement among ancient monuments aligned to true north (celestial pole), as to the geographic location of true north.
   4. 2023 rapid heating of the oceans preceded the resulting CO2 rise (Exhibit 7A1 in Article I)
   5. 2023 rapid heating of the oceans preceded the resulting atmospheric temperature rise (Exhibit 7A2 in Article I).
   6. Rapidly heating abyssal ocean layers, distributed across a range of depths, whose centroid is below the average ocean depth.
   7. Sea Salt in human inaccessible areas (Queen’s North Air Shaft).
   8. Heavy constriction of the human genome diversity around the date of the last inundation.
   9. Karst geomorphology on the Sphinx (Yes).
   10. Limestone reconcretions in the lower passages and chambers of the pyramid (Yes).
   11. Ocean silt in the lower pyramid chamber (inaccessible areas only).
   12. Morphology and size of the erosion band on the Khafre Pyramid.
   13. Detritus (loose incomplete and undissolved CaC03(s) heavier than ocean water solids), showing partial reconcretion, resting on the Mohs 7 backing stones and accumulating in a parabolic mound (that tapers with the triangular pyramidal-face height – as this hypothesis predicts) at the base of each face of the Khafre pyramid.
   14. Artifacts from the pyramid which pre-date the Fourth Dynasty significantly (Cedar Plank Dixon Relic).
   15. Regional onceanic inundation geomorphologies in the Saudi and Sahara Deserts.
   16. Correspondence in metrics between the geomorphologies in #7.
   17. Heat decay of Queen’s Chamber niche and hoizontal passage.
   18. Transparency of limestone to geomagentic monitoring frequencies.
   19. Copper cables only in the Queen’s Chamber air shafts.
   20. Karst geomorphology on stones which are inaccessible (Queen’s North Air Shaft midway up).
   21. The full set of pyramid angles, dimensions, and designs.
   22. Large sediment displacement slide off the coast of Mauritania, conforming to the hypothesis oceanic displacement mega-scouring.
   23. Existence of lighter sediment strata displaced inland to the Mississippi River from the Rocky Mountains by the Pacific oceanic inundation.
   24. Confirmation of the 104° rotation is found in examining the azimuth differentiations contained in ancient monuments, including the Nazca Lines primary focal axis, along with the earliest known large circular enclosure in Britain, The Flagstones in Dorchester, England and its sister monument, the Mount Pleasant Henge. In total, over 200 ancient monuments bear obsequience to ECDO Theory’s N_p‘ geographic location.
   25. Gobal Sea Surface Temperatures would trend back down after the 2023 into 2024 SST temperature peak, just as it has done the last 4 exothermic core-to-mantle cycles. As of 2025 SST’s have returned to their 2025 range.
   26. Northern hemisphere black soil distributions were predicted to conform to the oceanic coastline from which they were displaced, in both North America as well as the Russian tundra plain. Indeed this is exactly how these soil formations were displaced (see Exhibit J4b). A graduated Coriolis influence is observable in the Scandinavian displacement as the formation moves away from the State-2 equator, matching each predicted pattern.
   27. Abyssal ocean temperatures were anticipated under ECDO Theory to exhibit a rising trend as warming propagated downward, with the centroid of anomalous heat positioned below the mean global ocean depth—an indicator that the dominant flux originated from beneath the water column rather than from atmospheric forcing. The first Deep Argo float data released in 2023 confirmed this pattern.
   28. Elegantly framed the November 2025 mantle event set, wherein the two most active volcanic regions on the planet, Hawaii and Africa, suddenly became active at the same time, in a near perfect synchronization, despite being half a world apart.
   29. Barsoum et al. (2006) study findings were not merely compatible with ECDO; they flagged one of the strongest materials-science fingerprints that ECDO would predict if the pyramids’ Tura-limestone casing stones were removed by oceanic carbonic acid exposure and then re-constituted into travertine-like reconcretions.(Barsoum, Michel & Ganguly, A. & Hug, Gilles. (2006). Microstructural Evidence of Reconstituted Limestone Blocks in the Great Pyramids of Egypt. Journal of the American Ceramic Society. 89. 3788 – 3796. 10.1111/j.1551-2916.2006.01308.x.)
   30. Meinesz shear force trajectories – conform to ECDO Theory predicted meridians and Euler points in geo sediment, ridges, and tectonic zones. (Stone, C.; https://nobulart.com/media/shear.pdf, 2025).
   31. ECDO Theory successfully predicted that Earth is not currently rotating on its least dense, maximum inertia moment, I(3). The outcomes of GRACE geogravitational measures presented a problem confirming this, suggesting ECDO’s State 1 rotation (geomagnetic lock) at play now, and not State 2 (gyroscopic optimum).
   32. ECDO Theory predicts a much heavier ice concentration in East versus West Antarctica, based upon the continent’s positioning relative to the State 2 equator. Indeed, we find 70% of Antarctic ice to be positioned in East Antarctica, away from the State 2 equator.
