Earth is spinning faster than ever, prompting discussions about the possibility of adding a negative leap second. This unprecedented change could have significant implications for technology and timekeeping.
This summer, Earth is spinning faster, resulting in shorter days. Scientists are concerned about the implications for timekeeping and technology, with a potential 'negative leap second' on the horizon.
On July 9, 2025, Earth recorded its shortest day ever, spinning faster than usual. This phenomenon is linked to the moon's gravitational pull. Discover what this means for our timekeeping and future leaps!
