If the Earth spun slower would we slow down ?
If the Earth spun faster would we speed up?

Depends which external observer.

>no assburger pointing out that the exact opposite would happen due to relativity?
It's precisely not the opposite that happens: if Earth spins faster, then time slows down and we see it spin even faster than we would have without time dilation. If Earth spins slower, then times speeds up and we see it spin even slower than we would have without time dilation.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 16 13:28:25 2014 No.6594204 >>6594194 A month is a lunar cycle, it has nothing to do with either the day or the year. Why the fuck would you think it did? Are there really people here who don't know what a month is?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 16 13:33:12 2014 No.6594212 >>6594204 Why did they choose February as the month to affected by gap years? Just curious, why not any oth the other 12 months?

How would you know if the earth spun faster or slower? also no matter how fast or slow it spins the distance it travels is still the same so technically it's still the same amount of distance just with difference time periods ( time is one of THE hardest things to define in the world ) it has to do with human's gravity and how you relate to it even if the earth spun faster or slow per say when you travel a certain distance the comparison is still the same

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 16 13:46:45 2014 No.6594234 >>6594228 yeah but unless your perception of time changes how can you tell the difference if there was 1

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 16 13:48:00 2014 No.6594237 >>6594230 Because on the Ancient Roman calendars, it was the last month to be added. The second to last being January. I suppose it makes sense to change the last day of the last month which would be February.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 16 13:51:49 2014 No.6594243 >>6593945 The month hasn't been synced to the lunar cycle for a very long time. It's just a unit of solar time larger than weeks and shorter than years.
