25-hour days? Science has already confirmed when it could happen

The paradigm that the Earth's day lasts exactly 24 hours has been the subject of revision by the international scientific community. According to data published in the specialized journal 'Science Advances', the Earth experiences a process of gradual deceleration in its rotation speed.

This physical phenomenon, imperceptible on the scale of daily human life but constant at the geological level, projects that in the very distant future the days of the planet will reach a duration of 25 hours.

The preponderant factor in the loss of the Earth's angular velocity is the gravitational interaction with the Moon. It is estimated that approximately 200 million years would have to elapse for the planet to accumulate the necessary delay to add a full hour to the day.
