Hmm.
“ Over millions of years, Earth’s rotation has been slowing down due to friction effects associated with the tides driven by the Moon. That process adds about about 2.3 milliseconds to the length of each day every century. A few billion years ago an Earth day was only about 19 hours.
For the past 20,000 years, another process has been working in the opposite direction, speeding up Earth’s rotation. When the last ice age ended, melting polar ice sheets reduced surface pressure, and Earth’s mantle started steadily moving toward the poles.”
Extremely plausible but unattributed. It does, however, not contradict the standard, globe and heliocentric models of our solar system.
Orbital mechanics. The Moon is slowly spiraling away from the Earth, slowing its rotation in the process. That’s why we add leap seconds every once in a while.
Yep. These things happen. The E+M+S system can be looked at as a 3-body problem for simplification, but you have to factor everything in when you’re getting atomic scale measurements.
You’d be wrong.
According to who?

They've been getting shorter, but the speed varies at different times.

Thanks for admitting I’m right. Fuck off, shill.
