Show A HARD BLOW We don't see. why the professor couldn't have kept it to himself about 60 years longer. Here we are trying to be happy and hopeful and he comes along and tells us well, just listen to what this Yale professor tells us. He says that either the earth's rate of rotation is slowing down or the moon is moving faster. The result is that each year we gain one-thouandth of a second of daylight, and that when the world is 360,000 years older than it is how, each of our precious nights will be one second shorter. Yes, 1921 was full of disappointing and discouraging things. But it is tough to have a blow like this fall at the beginning of a new year. Be of good cheer maybe after all the professor is WTong. Maybe it will be 366,000 years before we begin to lose that precious second of time every night. |
