Earth spins faster when the Moon’s orbit is significantly north or south relative to the equator.

Scientists expect Wednesday to be between 1.3 and 1.6 milliseconds shorter than 24 hours, The New York Post reports.

According to Time and Date, a website that tracks time and time zones, the current record holder for the shortest day on record was July 5, 2024, which was 1.66 milliseconds shorter than 24 hours. Each year since 2020 has seen a new shortest day on record.


It will likely hold the record until August 5th

Could we make the Earth spin faster if every person in the world takes off running at the same time for a few minutes?

If you haven’t read What If?, it’s a pretty great read. My favorites Q & As are what if you pitched a baseball at the speed of light and can you cry yourself into dehydration.

But that can't be, 'cause summer days are longer, and what about daylight savings time too. But, but if it is true, it must have something to do with climate change. Right?

OTOH, this must be a real kick in the arse for flat-earthers.

His latest one was about making the moon a black hole. For it to have the same mass as the current moon it would need to be about the size of a grain of sand.

He has great videos.

Can we not have these scientists focused on curing cancer instead of this non sense?

New records are being set regularly, thanks to all the heavy concrete dams which have been constructed, disrupting the natural rotational speed of the globe.

Superman once flew so fast, he got the Earth to spin backwards which somehow changed time so he could rescue Lois.
