The influence of the slowing of Earth's rotation: A hypothesis to explain cell division synchrony under different day duration in earlier and later evolved unicellular algae. Helgolander Meeresuntersuchungen. 1996; 50 :117–130. doi: 10.1007/BF02367140. [ Cross Ref ]...

there were 27. Owing to a gradual acceleration in Earth's spin that has allowed solar seconds to catch up with atomic ones, there have not been any since. In fact, within the next few years the time nerds of the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS), the body that decides when le...
What Agnew found is that the slowdown caused by polar ice melt has been effectively masking a speedup of Earth’s rotation caused by changes in the rotation of our liquid outer core. Over the past 50 years, a day has become about 0.0025 second shorter. If global warming never happened, we...
From time to time, we have to tweak our clocks to keep pace with slight variations in the rate of Earth’s rotation. New research finds that melting ice in Greenland and Antarctica might affect when that next adjustment comes. As ice melts into water and flow...
