    EDIT: So watched two minutes of the op video and it started talking about the Earth speeding up its rate of rotation. ROFL that's ing re ed. I had to close the video once it started talking about continental drift as a consequence of the Earth spinning faster. Ugh is this the physics they teach in Liberty University?
    Theoretically, it’s possible, if somehow more mass moved to the axis of the Earth. A change in the moment of inertia. but how is this happening? Or if the Earth somehow lost mass away from its outer layer away from the axis of rotation.

    Comet strike could drastically change our rotation like it did with changing the direction of rotation of Venus or flipping the axis of rotation with Uranus, though it would kill all humans not deep underground within a few hours and then starve the survivors. Actually way worse since even Chicxulub wasn't a strong enough strike to do any of that with the planetary rotation but would have vaporized San Antonio within half a second of its impact in the Yucatan.

    Yeah.

    I was just thinking of internal ways no “outside” interference non catastrophic events.
    Even if my scenario did happen the earth would settle back down to a steadier slowly declining rotation.
    What I wrote above would have to happen on a continuous basis to keep speeding up (acceleration of rotation increasing)

    Bendover, I'll rotate Uranus

    you guys better prepare for the New Madrid Adjustment going to occur in the US


    He's not even pronouncing it right. In New Madrid, it's New MAdrid.
