24 Hours Aren’t Enough? Gather Here! The Earth is Swelling: Climate Change is Extending Days!

Here are the details…

Scientists indicate that human-induced emissions might have greater impacts on Earth than expected. New findings show that melting glaciers could have a larger effect on the length of a day than previously predicted. Climate change is slowing down the Earth’s rotation, thereby extending days. Although this change is only a few milliseconds, it could have significant impacts on our modern technological systems, which rely on precise atomic clocks.

Until now, a few milliseconds were added to each day every century!

For thousands of years, the gravitational pull of the moon has slowed down Earth’s rotation, adding a few milliseconds to each day every century, as proven by scientists. But now, the human factor is also affecting the Earth’s speed and thus the length of a day.

As the Earth slows, its shape changes: It swells!

Due to global warming, the melting ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica cause water to redistribute from the poles to the equator. This change alters the shape of the Earth, flattening the poles and expanding the middle, which slows the rotation speed.

Prof. Benedikt Soja from ETH Zurich compares this situation to “a figure skater who increases their spin speed by pulling their arms close to their body, and then slows down by extending their arms.”

The rise in sea levels during the 20th century altered the length of a day by 0.3 to 1 millisecond.

According to a study conducted by scientists from ETH Zurich University and supported by NASA, observational data and climate models were used to calculate the impact of global warming on the length of a day between 1900 and 2100, as well as future effects.

Greenhouse gas emissions and warming oceans could further increase this duration!

If greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, accelerating glacier melt and further warming the oceans, the length of a day could increase by 2.62 milliseconds by the end of the century. This could surpass the effect of the moon and become the most decisive factor.

  Disturbing Photos That Make You Feel Like No One Should See Them Don’t forget to comment on which one is more disturbing. A vendor’s collection of glass eyes. A strange machine used in 1932 to achieve beauty. Another disturbing photo taken during the Victorian era. A man proudly posing with his collection of heads. Medical students practicing on a table that reads, “A human’s usefulness doesn’t end even after death.” A man wearing a special mask designed to treat cancer on his face and neck in England in 1924. High school girls wearing gas masks marching in a parade in Japan in 1944.

  Roma’nın En Hüzünlü ve Şanssız İmparatorlarından Birisi: Claudius Tarih boyunca cesareti, zalimliği, sertliği ve savaşçı ruhuyla tanınan imparatorlar oldu. Ancak bazı hükümdarlar, yaşamlarında derin duygusal unsurlar taşıyarak gözlemleyenleri hatta üzüntüye sevk edebildi. Roma İmparatoru Claudius da böyle bir şanssız hükümdardı. Claudius, M.Ö. 10 yılında İtalya dışında, Galya’da doğmuştu. Çocukluğundan beri tarihe büyük bir ilgisi vardı. Buna rağmen siyasete katılamadı. İlk kez, yeğeni Caligula ile birlikte 37 yılında konsül olarak göreve başladı. Caligula, Tiberius’un vasiyetiyle imparator olmuştu; Claudius ise devlet işlerinden uzak tutuldu. Fiziksel ve zihinsel rahatsızlıkları onu bürokrasiden uzak tuttu. O zamanlar, Claudius’un imparator olabileceğini düşünen olmamıştı. Claudius, doğuştan sakat bir ayağa sahipti. Omuzları ve dizleri zayıftı, başı titriyor, bazen ağzından tükürük akıyordu. Elleri zayıftı ve bazen heyecanlandığında veya sinirlendiğinde burnu akardı. Ancak ...

  It’s Not Just About Physical Spaces: What is Liminal Space and How Does It Affect You? Liminal spaces represent a process of transformation, both physical and mental, and are therefore an important concept in many different disciplines. Let’s examine what it is! Source:  https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/general/understanding-how-liminal-space-is-different-from-other-places/ If you’re like most people, you may have noticed that there are certain places or situations where you feel off or uncomfortable. Such places can often be places such as empty bus stops and airport terminals. Often, these disturbing spaces can be described as liminal spaces. Liminal space comes from the Latin word “limen” meaning “threshold”. It may also be referred to as ‘liminality’. Such spaces often have a desolate atmosphere and are associated with an aesthetic disconnected from the concept of reality. At the same time, such places are waiting areas between one point and the next point in time and s...
