The giant dam has already nudged the way our planet turns. When the enormous Three Gorges Dam reservoir in China filled with tens of billions of tons of water, NASA calculations showed that the extra mass made each day about 0.06 microseconds longer and shifted Earth’s rotation axis by roughly 2 centimeters.

This is so stupid. Large bodies of water form and change location on the earth as a matter of course. Sure, it generally takes longer than in the case of Three Gorges, but it still happens.

the extra mass made each day about 0.06 microseconds longer and shifted Earth’s rotation axis by roughly 2 centimeters.

Yeah? Is that 0.06 microseconds with a margin of error of +/- 0.06 microseconds, and 2 centimeters +/- 2 centimeters? Idiots.

How would they know? Did they measure before the project started and then measure again after it was finished? I call bullshit.

Bottom line: In 50,000 YEARS, our day will be 1 second longer.

I was gonna worry about snail slime making eagles impotent, but now I have something more important to worry about.

Yup—this is the usual scientific fraud = scientism.

We are living in a new Dark Ages where the high priests just make up stuff.
