The article is from yesterday, so tommorow is today.
Yesterday you said tomorrow
When will then become now?
1.3ms sooner than we expected
Soon.
Wait, I’m in Australia, does that mean I missed out already on the second point thirty thing?
Are we going to fall off?
Not unless you’re at the front.
Phew
I wonder if you could tell by measuring g today
Yes. Yes, you could.
I mean, I know you theoretically could, but would it be a “noticeable” difference? Like to the second or third decimal?
If my math is right…it will have an effect of approximately 0.0000000001 g
Angular acceleration is r*w^2, so for a normal day that would be 6371000*(2*pi/86400)^2/g = 0.0034345580g
On this accelerated day, it becomes 6371000*(2*pi/86399.9987)^2/g = 0.0034345581g
That’s at the equator assuming a radius of 6371 km, which is a decent ballpark, the specific number won’t change the result much.
Well, that’s a totally different question.
