Merged: I'm Going to Miss those 1.2 Microseconds

[e_blazer]

It seems that the Chilean earthquake may have permanently changed the rate of rotation of the earth:

I'm going to have to think about what I'm going to cut out of my daily routine.

The length of the day should have gotten shorter by 1.26 microseconds (millionths of a second),” Gross, said today in an e-mailed reply to questions. “The axis about which the Earth’s mass is balanced should have moved by 2.7 milliarcseconds (about 8 centimeters or 3 inches).

The magnitude 9.1 earthquake in 2004 that generated a killer tsunami in the Indian Ocean shortened the length of days by 6.8 microseconds.

So since 2004, our days have shortened by a full 8 microseconds. At this rate, we soon won't have any days left at all.
