Faster Earth spin may prompt adjustment to clocks

Earth's changing spin is causing concerns for timekeeping, potentially requiring a rare adjustment to clocks by subtracting a second around 2029 due to the planet rotating slightly faster. This unprecedented situation, highlighted in a study published in Nature, prompts considerations about our reliance on precise timekeeping systems in modern society, according to lead author Duncan Agnew from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
