The Earth is wobbling on its axis so much that we may have to adjust our daily lives by 2029, according to a series of studies analyzed by Live Science.
Don't worry, this article isn't going to delve too deeply into the concepts of precession or polar wander (although both are very interesting topics). Today, we're going to talk about the length of a day on Earth. Currently, a day is about 86,400 seconds long, but this number is subject to adjustment by as much as 1 millisecond each year. LiveScience explanation.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Gathering simulation Apparently they think that anthropogenic climate change is changing the length of our day. I don't have enough words to explain why this is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read, but these AI programs are built with the same biases as Big Science and the climate cabal, so I understand they need to be viewed with these limitations. In the big picture, the Earth's day will probably get longer.
The Earth is shaking and the days are getting longer — and humans are to blame https://t.co/bSz24dNbsl

Some believe this change has been happening gradually over the last 30 years or so, as the Earth's rotation slows down, a process that adds about 2.3 milliseconds to the length of a day per century.

Scientists have suggested that we need to introduce a negative leap second, slowing down the clock by a few seconds per day, to accommodate this change, and this should happen after 2029… or… nothing at all. This literally won't affect us that much.
Maybe someone needs to tell the producers of “Rent” that they need to adjust the lyrics of “Seasons of Love” to reflect the latest scientific measurements of the length of a year.
