Time out of joint sparks shift in 24 hour day
At Abinger Observatory Finch reports Earth spins faster in autumn and slows in spring, making the 24 hour day longer by about two thousandths of a second in May versus November. This challenges exact timekeeping and prompts calls for a new standard to define the second. Astronomer Royal Sir Harold Spencer Jones cites seasonal water shifts and polar ice changes as possible causes. Finch gains historic status for revealing the subtle rotation fluctuation.
