According to forecasts, the current year will be shorter than 2020. This is due to the acceleration of the Earth's rotation.This was reported to RIA Novosti by the All-Russian Institute of Measurements of Physical, Technical and Radio Engineering.
"According to the initial forecast, the Earth's rotation speed will be short, provided that the existing speeds are maintained," the Institute said.Scientists say that the planet is currently spinning at the fastest pace in the last 50 years. In connection with this, chronometers began to discuss whether it makes sense to shorten the minute by one second and adapt the exact time flow to the rotation of the Earth.
