🚨🌎Earth’s Faster
#Spin May Trigger First-Ever “Negative Leap Second”
🔹Earth is spinning faster, with July 10, 2025, clocking in 1.36 milliseconds under 24 hours.
🔹Scientists may soon subtract a second from global time — a first. This rare move could disrupt GPS, financial systems, and servers.
🔹Surprisingly, melting polar ice is slowing Earth’s spin, delaying the change. The phenomenon echoes Y2K fears, as timekeepers race to adapt to a shifting planet.
