No, you’re not imagining it, July 9 really was shorter. Earth picked up speed, trimming a millisecond off the day. Thanks to atomic clocks, we’ve confirmed one of the shortest days on record, and two more are on the way.
In a world that runs on precision, even a millisecond matters. If Earth keeps outpacing our clocks, everything shifts – GPS goes off course, financial systems lag, global networks fall out of sync.
Time isn’t just something we track – it’s something we rely on.
