Climate Change Extends Days and Alters Earth's Core Dynamics
The climate crisis is not only causing unprecedented shifts in weather patterns and sea levels but is also fundamentally altering the length of our days and even impacting the Earth's core, according to new research. The mass melting of polar ice caps is redistributing water from high latitudes to the equator, making the Earth more oblate and slowing its rotation, thereby lengthening each day by milliseconds.

Study Links Infrequent Bowel Movements to Kidney Damage, Frequent Diarrhea to Liver Issues
A recent study published in the journal Cell Reports Medicine has unveiled significant insights into how the frequency of bowel movements may be intricately linked to long-term health. Conducted by researchers from the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) in Seattle, the study analyzed data from over 1,400 healthy adults and discovered correlations between bowel movement frequency and signs of decreased organ function.
