Scientists are proposing we introduce a micro variation of the leap year into clocks after researchers recently recorded Earth's shortest day since sc
This occurrence could signal the beginning of a period of shorter days on Earth.
The way the Earth spins on its axis has caused the shortest day ever recorded, astronomers believe.
Reports indicate the conventional 24-hour rotation of Earth was short by 1.59 milliseconds. Earth's shortest day has been recorded after scientists revealed that our planet spun faster than normal, leading to a shortage of 1.
If the duration of Earth’s average daily rotation shifts significantly, it could spell trouble not only for electronic devices, which count time in strict... 03.08.2022, Sputnik International
