AI Thread Summary
The Earth's rotational period is approximately 23 hours and 56 minutes, leading to a daily discrepancy of about four minutes when compared to the 24-hour clock. This difference arises because the Earth must rotate slightly more than once each day to account for its orbit around the Sun, ensuring the Sun appears in the same position daily. Leap days and leap seconds are implemented to correct for these discrepancies over time. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding these timekeeping adjustments in relation to Earth's movements. Overall, the additional four minutes are reconciled through periodic adjustments in our calendar system.

What happens to the missing time??

It has been observed that the Earth's rotational period to be roughly 23 hours and 56 minutes.But the clocks we use indicate 24 hours. So there should be a difference of 4 minutes for each day. Could somebody please explain what happens to this additional 4 minutes?

Since the Earth is also revolving around the Sun (in addition to rotating), it needs to turn slightly more than one full rotation in order for the Sun to be in the same apparent position in the sky from day to day. This difference is approximately four minutes.

(And of course, we account for the "approximate" nature with leap days, leap seconds, etc...)

The animation here is a bit slow, but helps visualize:

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
