Earth's faster spin may cause shorter days, scientists warn — should you be concerned
Earth's rotation is speeding up, leading to shorter days and potential timekeeping adjustments. Scientists predict that by 2029, a leap second might be subtracted from atomic clocks for the first time ever to align with this faster spin. This adjustment highlights the dynamic relationship between human-made time and Earth's natural rhythms, influenced by geophysical changes.
