Calling all project managers. You will need to adjust your resource plans.
This explains why there is just never enough time in the day to do everything.
YOU won't notice it, but the day just got a tiny bit shorter because of the giant earthquake off the coast of Japan on March 11, 2011.
NASA geophysicist Richard Gross calculated that Earth's rotation sped up by 1.6 microseconds. That's because of the shift in Earth's mass caused by the 8.9-magnitude earthquake. A microsecond is one-millionth of a second. That change in rotation speed is slightly more than the one caused by last year's larger Chile earthquake. But 2004's bigger Sumatra earthquake caused a 6.8-microsecond shortening of the day.
The Japan quake is the fifth strongest since 1900.
