Yep.
Now imagine that we lived on a tidally locked planet.
How would we divide time? 1 day = 1 year. In fact, there isn't even a concept of "a day".
It means nothing because we will not be here when it happens. This is really stupid!A group of researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have been collecting data and have established that over the course of millions of years, the Moon is drifting away from Earth and it is having a major impact on time.
What does that mean for us? Well turns out it could have a huge impact on how we perceive the time of day.
Speaking about the findings, Professor Stephen Meyers of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who is the co-author of the study, said: “As the Moon moves away, the Earth is like a spinning figure skater who slows down as they stretch their arms out.”
To study this process and come up with this conclusion, the researchers involved have been using a method called astrochronology – which links astronomical theory to geological observation.
