" Is Transportation On National Highways Affecting The Rate Of Earth Rotation ? "
* Should Transportation Be Considered As A Contributing Factor To The Rate Of Earth Rotation ? *
Should scientists study whether a net difference in total mass moving east versus west , along nation highways , have a significant affect on the rate of earth rotation , or are such affects not significant given other factors such as gravitational affects from celestial bodies ?
Earth's rotation - Wikipedia
Scientists reported that in 2020 Earth had started spinning faster, after consistently spinning slower than 86,400 seconds per day in the decades before. On June 29, 2022, Earth's spin was completed in 1.59 milliseconds under 24 hours, setting a new record.[3] Because of that trend, engineers worldwide are discussing a 'negative leap second' and other possible timekeeping measures.[4]
