Suddenly the earth has started rotating very fast, on July 29, all the records were broken, scientists are telling these possible reasons

Earth has increased its speed. On 29 July, it did not even complete the 24-hour cycle and turned around before that on its axis. It is a matter of research for scientists that what is the reason for the increase in the speed of the earth. Along with this, scientists have also started weighing its effects. It certainly sounds like an interesting phenomenon, but, it can also become the reason for many concerns and scientists are also engaged in finding a solution to it.

On July 29, the earth rotated on its axis before 24 hours
On 29th July i.e. Friday, the Earth broke all the records of rotation on its axis. The standard time of rotation of the Earth is 24 hours. That is, in a full 24 hours, the earth completes one revolution on its axis. But, on that day it completed this round 1.59 milliseconds earlier. According to The Independent, this life-filled planet has increased its speed in recent times. According to the Independent, if the rate of Earth’s rotation continues to increase, it will introduce negative leap seconds, which may pose a challenge to keep the rate of the Earth’s rotation around the Sun consistent with the atomic clock.

What are the possible causes according to scientists?
By the way, due to which the Earth has started rotating so fast, the exact reason for this is still unknown. But, scientists speculate that it could be due to processes involving changes in the inner or outer layers of its core, oceans, tides or even climate. But, this is just a guess. However, many researchers have been forced to think beyond this point of view of scientists.

‘Chandler Wobble’ could also be the reason
Some researchers think the reason may be related to the movement of the surface of the Earth’s geographic poles, known as the ‘Chandler Wobble’. According to scientists such as Leonid Zotov, Christian Bijouard and Nikolay Sidorenkov, in general terms, it looks like a human watching the speed of a top increase or decrease. The reasons are not yet known for the ‘Chandler Wobble’, which is said to be an elliptical oscillation of the Earth’s axis of rotation with a period of 14 months.

The beginning of the phase of the younger days of 50 years?
Since the 1960s it is being recorded, 2020 saw the shortest month the Earth has seen. The shortest period of rotation was recorded on 19 July that year. This was 1.47 milliseconds shorter than the standard time of 24 hours. But, in the next year i.e. 2021, the speed of Earth’s fast rotation continued, but it did not break any record. However, according to Interesting Engineering (IE), the younger 50-year phase may be just beginning.

Increased concern of experts
However, experts also worry that negative leap seconds could lead to potentially confusing situations for smartphones, computers and other communication systems. However, the report also quoted a meta blog as saying that while the leap second could ‘particularly benefit scientists and astronomers’, it is a ‘risky approach that does more harm than good’. This is because the clock is 00:00:00 . Increases from 23:59:59 to 23:59:60 before resetting. Such time jumps can cause program crashes and data corruption.

Who controls the world’s clocks?
Meta also states that if a negative leap second is performed, the clock will change from 23:59:58 to 00:00:00 and this can have a ‘catastrophic effect’ on software dependent on the timer and scheduler. According to Interesting Engineering, a solution to this may require international timekeepers to add a negative leap second – a ‘drop second’ key. Notably, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the primary time standard on which the world controls clocks and time, has already been updated 27 times with a leap second.
