...When I start to spin off the earth then I’ll take this seriously... Ever see a movie called 'The Man who could work miracles'? One of my favorite movies, not well known because it was made in 1936. If you do happen to watch it you'll see why your post reminds of it.

...The only people who are wrong more often than economists are scientists.Unless that economist is Milton Friedman! As for scientists getting it wrong , Max Planck, a Nobel laureate in physics, famously said this:
"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it"

I thought the experts were going to suggest ringing the equator with large JATO-type rockets and ignite them simultaneously.

The earth is slowing? I guess the Dems will do two things: Blame President Trump and tax to do a study to see how President Trump did it and to see if they can impeach him... 😀

“… July 9 and July 22 have been unusually short — by about 1.3 and 1.4 millisecond…”
I hope the boss doesn’t dock my pay for those days.

Oops, I meant faster...still they’ll blame President Trump...

I had noticed and pondered on why my walking speed has increased.
That's funny coz I've noticed i am tending to walk little bit faster. Probably my Relief Factor pills have been improved, but does make me wonder reading this thread. ;)

Staking a bunch of B52s to the ground full throttle in the other direction to slow us down? (paraphrasing Ross Perot)

Women and minorities effected most.
To: Signalman
Have the people of earth run the opposite way for a bit to slow the planet down...

If the Earth spins faster, wouldn’t our satellites spin accordingly? Wouldn’t the position and height remain the same? Or would they drift off and stay a bit? I’m no astronomer, so I don’t know what the affect would be.
To: ProtectOurFreedom
Dang, beat me to it.

I guess entropy is kaput eh ?

Scientists are considering doing something unprecedented.
Reminds me of the time when they wanted to set off a nuke on the moon.
