AbstractThe analysis of historical eclipses shows that the length of the day is increasing on the average by 1.8 milliseconds per century, as distinct from the value of 2.3 milliseconds per century expected from tidal friction. The difference may be accounted for by the response of the Earth to post-glacial uplift following the end of the last ice-age.
