FEELING STRESSED FOR TIME? Aftermath of the earthquake: Shorter days.

By a tiny but measurable amount, the Earth is now rotating more quickly on its axis, and the 24-hour day is now one ten-thousandth second shorter.That's the result of calculations based on preliminary data made by Oak Park astronomer Dr. Leslie M. Golden. It's analogous to the increase in rotational speed that a twirling ice skater experiences when he or she draws in their arms.

I shall let you know what the people who calculate "leap seconds" have decided, once I find it. (The leap second gets added just before midnight Greenwich every so often to compensate for the slowing of the earth's rotation mandated by the laws of physics.)
