[The Devil Wears Prada - Celestial Mechanics lyrics]
Official clocks will pause
For Earth's rotation
To realign with atomic time
Fluctuation is due to
Earth's interaction with
The Moon: primarily tidal acceleration
This process, this effect of tidal force
Slows our planet's rotation
Angular momentum
In direct correspondence with Earth's
Axial tilt is dampened
An existing kinetic energy within
Orbit is lessened
All the same, the reduction
Is notably fractional: specifically
Days on Earth grow 14 milliseconds
Longer every one hundred years
To put that in a different perspective
It won't be for another 100
000 years until each day is about one and a
Half seconds longer than as they exist today
