Study Reveals Earth's Rotation Decelerating at Historic Pace

New research from the University of Vienna and ETH Zürich indicates that the Earth's rotation is slowing at a rate unprecedented in at least 3.6 million years. This phenomenon is increasing day length by 1.33 milliseconds per century. Scientists attribute this deceleration to the redistribution of water caused by melting ice sheets and glaciers, highlighting the significant impact of human-driven warming on the planet.
