Although we experience the shortest white part of the day during the December winter solstice, the shortest day of the year as such will most likely only come to us now during the summer holidays. The shortest days in 2020-2025: July 19, 2020: -1.47 ms July 9, 2021: -1.47 ms June 30, 2022: ...
NASA confirms that the Chinese Three Gorges Dam has extended Earth days by slightly slowing the planet's rotation.
The Earth is turning faster and faster. This is the unexpected observation of scientists. In a few weeks, we could experience the shortest day ever recorded. A mysterious phenomenon which, despite its minimal scale, could well upset our daily life, from the accuracy of GPS to the measure of time itself. It is not a fiction, but an observed reality that questions the world's experts.
