In this spirit of rigorous worldbuilding, we just published a new study where we merged the disparate disciplines of literary worldbuilding and climate modelling. We used complex computer programs – ...

A simple explanation of Earth’s rotation speed, how it creates day and night, and how scientists measure the planet’s motion.

The ocean is higher than we thought, by up to 3 feet. Scientists just found a decades-old blind spot in sea level science, ...

Earth’s deepest center keeps moving, and the motion is more complicated than scientists once assumed. Hidden thousands of miles beneath the surface, the planet’s inner core is inaccessible to direct ...

The use of the TGLFNN model was found to be incompatible with the new rotation model. trying to run TGLFNN on the latest commit on main led to the following stack ...

The alternation of day and night may seem natural, yet our planet’s motion is constantly changing. But what would happen if the familiar rhythm of the rotation of Earth were suddenly disrupted? Will ...

ABSTRACT: Since about 1970, Geographic Information Systems (GISs) have been implemented as a tool to organize spatial data related to locations on or near the surface of the Earth. As technology ...

PCWorld reports that scientists discovered Earth’s inner core has slowed its rotation relative to the crust, even appearing to stop moving in a phenomenon that occurs every 35 years. This iron-nickel ...

We’ve probably all had a few conversations with people who hold eccentric scientific ideas, and most of the time they yield nothing more than frustration and perhaps a headache. In [Bertrand Selva]’s ...

On certain trans-Pacific flights, you can "time travel" by crossing the International Date Line. For example, if you want to go from San Francisco to Tokyo, and your flight departs at 5:00 p.m. on ...

When we talk about feats of engineering, very few megastructures on Earth rival the sheer scale of China's Three Gorges Dam. It's located in Hubei province, spanning the mighty Yangtze River, and it's ...
