Scientific measurements of polar motion prove that the Earth's axis of rotation is not strictly fixed but constantly wanders within the Earth's crust, meaning it does not pass exclusively through the static geographical poles.
The claim asserts that the Earth's axis of rotation passes strictly through the geographical poles. However, multiple papers on polar motion ([0], [4], [8], [9]) demonstrate that the rotational axis shifts and wanders over time relative to the Earth's crust due to factors like mass redistribution and geophysical excitation. Therefore, the claim is refuted by established geodetic observations.
