days can last 25 hours
There are exactly 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds in a day, but the study Technical University of Munich (UTM) suggested that in the future we may have 25 hour workdays. And the rotation of planet Earth changed over the years, and the days could no longer be the same as we know them in Spain and the rest of the world. This group of scientists developed study that explains that our planet will have 25 hours a day.
A forecast that is based on an analysis of the gradual slowdown of the planet’s rotation, i.e. the movement of the Earth every 24 hours, responsible for days and nights. As they explained, throughout its history the Earth has experienced a slowdown in its rotation (caused by the gravitational influence of the Moon, the friction of ocean tides, or atmospheric circulation).
Changes in the Earth’s rotation
The earth has found days lasted only 19.5 hours, approximately 2000 and 600 million years ago., due to the speed of rotation of the planet. Astrophysicist Norman Murray explains this in his article: “Why is a day twenty-four hours long?” History of atmospheric heat tide, composition and average temperature of the Earth.”
And according to the latest research from the Technical University of Munich, the day can now be 25 hours long. This conclusion was reached thanks to intensive research conducted with the help of “ultra-precise” laser device for measuring the rotation speed of planets in the most accurate way possible.
And the results obtained with this unprecedented laser show that The Earth’s rotation rate is gradually slowing down at a rate of about 1.7 milliseconds per century.. This phenomenon can lead to an increase in the length of the earth’s day to 25 hours.
When will there be 25 hours in a day?
However, this phenomenon will not be observed in the short term as the study dated this historical change. for about 200 million years.
