oh deer..

why is time slowing down

The rotations of Saturn and Venus are slowing down -

The most commonly cited figure for Saturn's rotation period - 10 hours, 39 minutes and 22.4 seconds - was derived in 1980 from Voyager observations of radio waves generated by solar radiation hitting the planet's atmosphere. Yet Cassini has returned a result almost 8 minutes longer, a difference that defies easy explanation.

The measurements, if correct, would seem to indicate that Venus' rotation has slowed by 6.5 minutes — a dramatic decrease on a planetary level — compared to when it was last measured just 16 years ago.

Maybe the rotational slowdown of the Earth is greater than has been stated -

But from their careful observations of the positions of the stars, astronomers have deduced that Earth's rotation is ever so slightly slowing down at a non-uniform rate.

This could indicate that there is a common cause, the result of which is the slowdown of the planetary rotations in our solar system.

I've been rolling this around in my head for an hour now regarding the planet's rotation. If the main driving force of our rotation, or the engine so to speak, is our planet's core.... then a core shift would change the speed in which the crust rotated. We know the core is shifting by watching the direction of the magnetic poles. If they're moving, the core is moving.

If the core shifted 10 degrees, that means it's spinning influence on the rest of the planet has weakened by that much. That would also explain why the magnetic field has weakened as well. By golly, I think I've got it.... The crust is slowly shifting as well to match the core's direction and that's why a pole shift was noted during the Chile and Japan quakes. The quakes were the result of the shift, not the cause.

That's not the main driving force to the rotation though.

As far as our mantle and crust is concerned I mean. The cause of the spin itself goes to the core of the Milky Way.
