Earth Is Suddenly Spinning Faster. Why Our Planet Just Recorded Its Shortest Day Since Records Began
Forbes.com: 28-July-2022
Our planet set a record for completing one rotation faster than scientists had ever previously recorded, according to TimeAndDate.com.
Earth rotated once around its axis on Wednesday, June 29, in 1.59 milliseconds less than 24 hours.
....
If Earth spins faster then it gets to the same position a little earlier. A half-a-millisecond equates to 26 centimetres at the equator.
In short, GPS satellites—which already have to be corrected for the effect of Einstein’s general relativity theory (the curve of space and time)—are quickly going to become useless. (!!!)
