Understanding Changes in Earth's Rotation and Revolution Speeds

[DaveC426913]

sanidhay, please explain, step by step, how you came to your conclusion. What did you start with? We are trying to figure out what you put into Wolfram Alpha to get those numbers and where you got the numbers you put in.

As it stands, this thread is in danger of being closed because there's not enough explanation to go on and, well - it looks like you might have just run a calculation to arrive at a meaningless answer. There is a saying for this: GIGO: garbage in, garbage out.

Perhaps you are talking about the slowing of Earth's rotation? This happens due to tidal friction, but it is a very small effect. Your posts implied something bigger.

I don't think it is. 56,000 years is the blink of an eye in astronomical terms. The slowing of the Earth's rotation by that much should happen on the order of millions of years. In 56,000 years, it should only have slowed by a few seconds.

I think the calculation you have is not telling you anything meaningful. I think it's GIGO.

just fyi though, that amount is 1.7 microseconds per century, which is a lot smaller than what you saw.

I think what you saw was probably due to picking Dec 21 as said before.

How do you know that is built into the Wolfram software? Is it made at all clear in the documentation? If not, it is no proof one way or another. You need a scientific approach if you want a reliable answer.
