        According to a 2023 study, a day on Earth was approximately 19 hours for a significant part of Earth's early history

        That headline plays fast and loose with “history” — history supposedly started in 1973?

                Saved you a click:

                "The cause of this acceleration is not explained," Leonid Zotov, a leading authority on Earth rotation at Moscow State University, told Timeanddate.com. "Most scientists believe it is something inside the Earth. Ocean and atmospheric models don't explain this huge acceleration."

                Zotov predicts Earth’s rotation may soon decelerate once again. If he’s right, this sudden speeding-up could prove to be just a temporary anomaly in the planet’s long-term trend toward slower rotation and longer days.

                "Something" in the core is "happening" "in a way" that's speeding us up. Temporarily.

                This is just minor trivia in Earth's history. 🤷‍♂️

                    Old xkcd just hits differently. Like more poetic and romantic.
