According to tycho.usno.navy.mil/leapsec.html the rate of deceleration of the Earth's rotation is about 1.06 milliseconds per day per century. If the rate of deceleration was constant, which it is not, it would take (15 min * 60 s/min * 1000 ms/s) / (2 ms / 188 y) = 84.6 million years for the day to lengthen by 15 minutes. It would be incorrect to compare the deceleration rate, conventionally given in milliseconds per day per century (1/time), with the clock drift rate, given in seconds per year (dimensionless). | |
