Scientists Describe What Would Happen if Earth’s Rotation Accelerated — and Why a Catastrophic Speed‑up Is Implausible
Researchers say a faster spin would bulge oceans, raise tidal extremes and increase seismic and storm activity, but long‑term trends and conservation of angular momentum make a rapid acceleration effectively impossible.
Scientists Explain the Real-World Consequences if Earth's Rotation Accelerated
Small millisecond fluctuations in day length have been recorded, but researchers say a catastrophic spin-up like that in a new novel is physically implausible — while outlining the impacts that would follow if rotation did increase signi…
