\"\"If you felt like yesterday flew by, it kinda did.<\/p>\n

Tuesday was 1.34 milliseconds short of 24 hours.<\/p>\n

The length of a day is the time it takes for the planet to complete one full rotation on its axis \u201424 hours or 86,400 seconds on average. But in reality, each rotation is slightly irregular due to a variety of factors, such as the gravitational pull of the moon, seasonal changes in the atmosphere and the influence of Earth\u2019s liquid core. As a result, a full rotation usually takes slightly less or slightly more than 86,400 seconds \u2014 a discrepancy of just milliseconds that doesn\u2019t have any obvious effect on everyday life.<\/p>\n

The concern is in the long run, these discrepancies can affect computers, satellites and telecommunications, which could lead to a scenario similar to the Y2K problem, which threatened to bring modern civilization to a halt.<\/p>\n

Last year, on July 5, 2024, Earth experienced the shortest day ever recorded since the advent of the atomic clock 65 years ago, at 1.66 milliseconds less than 24 hours.<\/p>\n
