Gov. Cuomo to skip Biden inauguration amid concerns over threats to Albany, other state capitals

Jerry Zezima: It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad tooth

I have a Hollywood smile because I have been wearing invisible braces for several years. So when one of my two retainers recently cracked, which was probably the result of a wisecrack, I watched as Dr. Max Sanacore, who isn’t a mad scientist (otherwise, he’d be known as Mad Max) but does work in a laboratory, made me a new one. Actually, Dr. Max is in his last year at the Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine on ...

Earth’s spin is believed to be speeding up
As Earth’s rotation speed slowed ever-so-slightly in recent decades, leap seconds were added intermittently to keep clocks up to date. But if a new trend holds, time might need to be turned in the other direction some day soon. Earlier this month, The Daily Telegraph reported that Earth has reached its quickest spin speeds in the past half-century. “It’s quite possible that a negative leap second will be needed if Earth’s rotation rate increases further,” said Peter Whibberley, a senior research scientist with Britain’s National Physical Laboratory, according to The Daily Telegraph.
