No other moon is that large relative to its parent planet. The oddities don't stop there. The total angular momentum of Earth's spin, the moon's spin and the moon's orbit is very large — far ...

The U.N. has identified Kabwe, a city of almost 300,000 people in Zambia, as one of the most polluted places on the planet.

He suggests this anomaly could mean the universe was “born” spinning or that we might live inside a colossal black hole. Professor Shamir also noted that this rotational imbalance might be due to the ...

Engineers constructed the device using advanced materials that respond to slight movements. A built-in resonator amplifies the motion caused by Earth’s spin, increasing the electrical output. The ...

If you’re thinking about returning to your ex-lover, situationship, or even friend who has done you wrong in the past, consider these questions before you do so. “Spinning the block” on somebody you ...

Intriguingly, assuming that the system would work and would be scaled up to meet the demands of the entire planet, the Earth's rotational spin would only slow by seven milliseconds over the next ...

Photo: VCG "What would happen if the Earth suddenly stopped spinning?" "If everyone on Earth opened their fridge at the same time, would the planet get colder?" These questions are amusing and ...

The idea that Earth’s motion through its magnetic field could generate electricity dates back centuries, but past studies dismissed it—until now. The cylinder was placed in a pitch-black lab ...

“Rest Stop,” a student-written play produced by student theatre group Sit & Spin, takes audiences inside the mundane walls of a seemingly generic highway rest stop and on a raw, emotional rid ...

And so putting people at that risk, and right now, they keep going back and forth on if it’s a war plan or an attack plan, they need to stop spinning in circles.” She added that while she does ...
