A multi-institutional team of geoscientists has found evidence that the Earth's rotation slows in a staircase pattern, with two stable periods that stand out. In their study, published in the ...

Back in 2023, scientists were already puzzled by the Earth’s accelerating rotation, while some speculated that global warming ...

A scientist has warned that Earth's rotation is unexpectedly accelerating, leading to the shortest day in history in just a ...

The International Rotation and Reference Systems Service found that July 9, July 22, and August 5 will be victims of the time ...

A scientist has warned that Earth's rotation is unexpectedly accelerating, leading to the shortest day in history. Graham Jones, an astrophysicist, predicted this could occur in this summer.

Their findings enabled them to test physical tidal models and identify a staircase pattern in the Earth's deceleration between 650 million and 280 million years ago. Specifically, there are two ...

New research confirms the rotation of Earth's inner core has been slowing down as part of a decades-long pattern. How this slowdown might affect our planet remains an open question.

Ever since its formation around 4.5 billion years ago, Earth's rotation has been gradually slowing down, and its days have gotten progressively longer as a result.

Specifically, there are two periods with high Earth rotation deceleration -- from 650 to 500 million years ago and from 350 to 280 million years ago -- separated by an interval of stalled ...
