China’s Dam is Slowing the Earth’s Rotation 🌎 #shorts

Faust Checho dives into the famous Three Gorges Dam in China which actually raises so much water it actually slows down the Earth’s rotation by .06 microseconds.

Believe it or not this incredible scientific phenomenon is real because of the moment of inertia law which speeds up the Earth’s rotation due to sheer mass of the 39 trillion kilograms of water it carries.

Wouldn’t want to get caught under that stream.
