"Earth’s Accelerating Spin to Trigger Historic Shortest Day Amid Sudden Rotation Surge—Scientists Warn"
Earth’s Rotation Speeds Up, Threatening a Record Short Day Scientists warn Earth’s spin is accelerating unexpectedly, potentially shaving milliseconds off time in summer 2024. Astrophysicist Graham Jones (University of London) predicts three key dates—July 9, July 22, or August 5—when days could shorten by 1.30 to 1.51 milliseconds. Though imperceptible to humans, these shifts could […]
