Time Is Going Out of Sync

Time is going out of sync

A lot to learn from Jim Adams

On Wednesday, June 29, 2022, Earth rotated once around its axis in 1.59 milliseconds less than 24 hours, and this was faster than scientists had ever previously recorded since records began in the 1960s.  July 26 neared the newly-set record, at 1.50 milliseconds shorter than usual.  The previous record for the shortest rotation was July 19, 2020, when the Earth’s rotation took 1.4602 milliseconds less than 24 hours.  Ever since its formation around 4.5 billion years ago, our Earth had been gradual slowing down its rotation, and this has resulted in adding about 2.3 milliseconds to the length of each day every 100 years.  The Earth’s rotational speed fluctuates constantly for multiple reasons, the moon and Earth’s gravitational pull on each other, the moon’s effect on the tides on Earth, and changes in the weather and climate on Earth.  Many experts believe that the earth is spinning faster due to…

When you try to overtake time

When you try to overtake time .,…by Sadje

Sadje/ Sadie's avatarKeep it alive

This week Reena has given us these 2 images to work with;

Setting the alarm every day

I try to overtake the morning hassle

Perhaps getting up earlier would help

Five minutes early, every morning— I try

Sometimes it happens, other days — not

A constant struggle to fit 25 hours natural rhythm

Into the 24 hours given to us for each day

Keeps us on our proverbial toes, always struggling

In trying to overtake this tick-tock, I run ragged

Maybe one day I will win this race against time

➰➰➰

Fingertip Ghosts

Fingertip Ghosts …. by Kat

Kat's avatarENIGMA

I have this letter

Deep in my drawer

A message that hasn’t seen

The light of day.

The sender’s address

Says my favourite name

The one I loved from far away.

Her eyes are a memory now

The blue in them; a stubborn ache

But before she passed,

I bared my heart,

In a wondrous sombre willow haze.

Same yellow paper

Rough under the palm

Same names curled under the stamp

Same sentiments inside?

Perhaps.

I’ve never been famous

For my courage

And I lack it greatly in this case

It’s futile now

To break this seal

And tear at beginnings beyond repair.

Perhaps, one day

When I’m yellowing

I’ll take my chance

With this wax

And kiss the ghosts of her fingertips

A proper and final goodbye.

Dog tired

Another award function, journos pushing around for bytes, broken statements scattered around with no resemblance to the spirit of the conversation. He is tired, dog tired of celebrating a successful persona, a persona built painstakingly to meet expectations, a persona that’s not him. It reminds him of the plastic excitement of puppies who escape with … Continue reading Dog tired
