Watch This When You're High - Our Days Are Getting Shorter

Source - Scientists believe that an average day in 2021 will be 0.05 milliseconds shorter than 86,400 seconds. Over the entire year, atomic clocks — which have been keeping ultra-precise records of days length since the 1960s — will have accumulated a lag of about 19 milliseconds, they said.

A report in the Live Science said, “The 28 fastest days on record (since 1960) all occurred in 2020, with the earth completing its revolutions around its axis milliseconds quicker than average.”

According to atomic clocks, the earth has taken slightly less than 24 hours (86,400 seconds) to complete one rotation for the past 50 years.

The earth recorded the shortest day (since records began) on 19 July 2020 — when the day was 1.4602 milliseconds shorter than 24 hours.

Days are getting shorter. The Earth is spinning faster. Some believe this falls in line with the end times. Some think its just the law of physics. Either way, it's pretty nuts that scientists today are able to measure this kind of thing as precisely as they are and even crazier that ancient people were able to calculate everything WITHOUT a shred of the technology we have today.
