Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 The earth has tilted an inch on it's axis due to the recent quake. This will cause it to move slightly faster (3 microseconds) or approx one millionth of a second per day. As these microseconds accumulate, planetary scientists will eventually have to add a " leap second " to the end of the year. If you've suspected that somehow time has been moving faster, and life becoming shorter, now you have a perfect rationale for this idea. :>)) A link: http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/science/12/29/quake.wobble.reut/index.html Best, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
