FAIRFIELD-SUISUN, CALIFORNIA Earth's rotation speed slowed ever-so-slightly in recent decades, but the trend is now spinning in the other direction. (Dreamstime/TNS) Earth’s spin is believed to be speeding up As Earth’s rotation speed slowed ever-so-slightly in recent decades, leap seconds were added intermittently to keep clocks up to date. But if a new trend holds, time might need to be turned in the other direction some day soon. Earlier this month, The Daily Telegraph reported that Earth has reached its quickest spin speeds in the past half-century. “It’s quite possible that a neg...

But if a new trend holds, time might need to be turned in the other direction some day soon. Earlier this month, The Daily Telegraph reported that Earth has reached its quickest spin speeds in the past half-century. “It’s quite possible that a negative leap second will be needed if Earth’s rotation rate increases further,” said Peter Whibberley, a senior research scientist with Britain’s National Physical Laboratory, according to ...
