Polar ice is melting and changing Earth’s rotation. It’s messing with time itself
    One day in the next couple of years, everyone in the world will lose a second of their time. Exactly when that will happen is being influenced by humans, according to a new study, as melting polar ice alters the Earth’s rotation and changes time itself.
     The hours and minutes that dictate our days are determined by Earth’s rotation. But that rotation is not constant; it can change ever so slightly, depending on what’s happening on Earth’s surface and in its molten core.
     These nearly imperceptible changes occasionally mean the world’s clocks need to be adjusted by a “leap second,” which may sound tiny but can have a big impact on computing systems.
     Plenty of seconds have been added over the years. But after a long trend of slowing, the Earth’s rotation is now speeding up because of changes in its core. For the first time ever, a second will need to be taken off.
    “A negative leap second has never been added or tested, so the problems it could create are without precedent,” Patrizia Tavella, a member of the Time Department at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in France, wrote in an article accompanying the study.
     But exactly when this will happen is being influenced by global warming, according to the study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Melting polar ice is delaying the leap second by three years, pushing it from 2026 to 2029, the report found.
    “Part of figuring out what is going to happen in global timekeeping … is dependent on understanding what is happening with the global warming effect,” said Duncan Agnew, professor of geophysics at the University of California San Diego and the study’s author.

In today’s digital era where screens and keyboards dominate, we often underestimate the importance of handwriting.

Experts say that handwriting plays a key role in cognitive development, memory retention, and academic performance. Why should children continue to practice writing? A study published in the National Library of Medicine discovered that handwriting contributes to functional brain development. Writing letters and words is particularly beneficial for young children’s brains compared to other forms of sensorimotor practice. Moreover, legible handwriting can lead to better grades, regardless of the content. According to Krista Griffin, a professor of elementary education, writing helps in the connection between letters and sounds for children. Therefore, opting for pencil and paper over typing on a phone could be advantageous.
