....and I got to thinking.
Have you ever known a top that moved in perpetual motion? I realize that's physically impossible here on this planet, I mean with gravity, friction, and whatnot. But, really...perpetual motion doesn't really exist, does it? And space can't possibly be without friction...maybe minuscule amounts, but there's got to be some sort of force out there that would cause friction. Perhaps, nothing more than the gravity of other celestial objects?
And that led me to think, what if the Earth is slowing its rotation? What if over the last...I don't know...million or billion years, the Earth's rotation has slowed by a second or a minute or something. What kind of repercussions would be involved in that? What if that would explain global warming or vast extinctions or total climate change like an ice age?
All of that came to me, just staring at the moon.
