  • the earth looks at us through a microscope

  • @sharinganx12 so how long once the moon rotate today?

  • cool

  • It probably means you'll work longer too!

  • who am i?

  • Nasa geophysicist Dr. Benjamin Fong Chao found evidence that large dams cause changes to the earth's rotation, because of the shift of water weight from oceans to reservoirs. Because of the number of dams which have been built, the Earth's daily rotation has apparently sped up by eight-millionths of a second since the 1950s

  • The Quran also says that these will be the signs of the last day. Earth's rotation will slow down until a length of a day is equal to a month. Also the Earth might reverse it's rotation making the sun appear to rise in the west! :O

  • I guess that means I get to sleep in a little longer tomorrow.
