«When you collide an unpolarized proton beam (where the proton spins can be pointing in any direction) with a proton polarized transverse to its direction of travel (say, with its polarization axis facing up), there is a net deflection — an imbalance in the probability for a particle to go to the left versus to go to the right — just like when a ball hits a spinning fan,» said Dunlop.

'' This offers supporting evidence that the earth's spin rate is currently increasing, in agreement with Laws of Conservation of Angular Momentum due to a reduction in the earth's spin axis Moment of Inertia, that in turn suggests there is a mechanism in the current part of the Donn and Ewing climate cycle that is transferring equatorial ocean water to ice in polar regions.....
and gradual decrease in the spin axis Moment of Inertia of the earth that could be associated with a climate mechanism that transfers equatorial ocean water to the polar regions in a new trend of polar ice build - up.
There's also a cluster of small peaks in the range 0.042 to 0.045 cycles / kyr (periods 22,000 to 24,000 years) and a small peak at 0.053 cycles / kyr (period 19,000 years) that are all coincident with periods in the changes of precession, the orientation of earth's spin axis relative to the longitude of perihelion (closest approach to the sun) of earth's orbit.
AGW climate scientists seem to ignore that while the earth's surface may be warming, our atmosphere above 10,000 ft. above MSL is a refrigerator that can take water vapor scavenged from the vast oceans on earth (which are also a formidable heat sink), lift it to cold zones in the atmosphere by convective physical processes, chill it (removing vast amounts of heat from the atmosphere) or freeze it, (removing even more vast amounts of heat from the atmosphere) drop it on land and oceans as rain, sleet or snow, moisturizing and cooling the soil, cooling the oceans and building polar ice caps and even more importantly, increasing the albedo of the earth, with a critical negative feedback determining how much of the sun's energy is reflected back into space, changing the moment of inertia of the earth by removing water mass from equatorial latitudes and transporting this water vapor mass to the poles, reducing the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and speeding up its spin rate, etc..
This snowpack accumulation near the poles, which gets its water via the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, that in turn rob it from equatorial latitudes of our oceans, also results in a reduction in the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and causes the spin rate to increase as evidenced in the recent history of the rate at which Leap Seconds are added to our calendar (see Wysmuller's Toucan Equation for more on this evidence that during this warm time with much greater polar humidity, earlier seasonal, later seasonal and heavier snows are beginning to move water vapor from the oceans to the poles to re-build the polar ice caps and lead us into a global cooling, while man - made CO2 continues to increase http://www.colderside.com/faq.htm).
These climate oscillations have dominant periodicities, ranging from about 20 to 400 kyr, that coincide with variations in the Earth's orbital elements [26], specifically the tilt of the Earth's spin axis, the eccentricity of the orbit and the time of year when the Earth is closest to the Sun.
Glacial — interglacial oscillations of the CO2 amount and ice sheet size are both slow climate feedbacks, because glacial — interglacial climate oscillations largely are instigated by insolation changes as the Earth's orbit and tilt of its spin axis change, with the climate change then amplified by a nearly coincident change of the CO2 amount and the surface albedo.
