NASA recently stated that our days have been getting shorter, which could be linked to the idea that time is technically “speeding up.” This means the Earth is rotating slightly faster than it used to, and as a result, each day is just a bit shorter than 24 hours. Even though the difference is only a few milliseconds, it’s still a real and measurable change. Over time, these subtle shifts could begin to affect how we track time globally. This shows that time isn’t as fixed as we thought; it’s affected by the planet’s motion. It’s kind of mind-blowing to think that we’re living through a period where time might be changing.
