Earth's Newest Record Could Force a Rewrite of Time

The Statesman Siliguri

|

July 30, 2025

Earth just set a record for one of its fastest rotations.

- ADRIJA GHOSH

Scientists are examining what's changing, and why even milliseconds could matter to modern life. At first glance, July 10, 2025, seemed like any other day. Yet, in the quiet machinery of our planet, something extraordinary happened: Earth spun faster than it ever has in recorded history, completing its rotation 1.36 milliseconds short of the usual 24 hours.

That fraction of a second may sound insignificant, but to scientists, timekeepers, and space agencies, it's a rare signal that our planet's long-standing rhythm is changing—one that could ripple through everything from global timekeeping to satellite navigation.
