Scientists found that the moon is moving away from the Earth, the future or has a greater impact on the Earth

I wonder if you have found a bizarre phenomenon, the moon is slowly moving away from us.

According to astronomers' observations, the moon we see every day is creeping away from us at a rate of 3.8cm per year.

3.8 cm per year may seem insignificant to us, but imagine that for the 4.6 billion years that the Earth has been in formation, this is astronomical.

And the moon has been far away from us since billions of years ago.

So if you calculate it, every 100 million years the moon will be about 4000km away from the earth.

This is about 1/3 of the diameter of the Earth.

The moon formed about 4.5 billion years by now, so more than 4 billion years in such a huge period.

The distance away must be an amazing phenomenon.

If the Moon continues to move away from the Earth for some time to come, then it will be a huge blow to life on Earth.

We all know that one of the most influential factors of the moon for our planet is its tidal action.

It not only affects the water cycle of our planet, but also the atmospheric cycle. More importantly, when the Moon leaves the Earth, the tidal forces we are subjected to are weakened.

As a result, the Earth's rotation is slowly accelerated.

This is why we often hear that there are now less than 24 hours in a day.

According to scientists' observations, the speeding up of the Earth's rotation started to happen as early as 2020.

And this year is also the fastest period of the Earth's rotation in the past 50 years.

On this day, July 19, 2020, it was 1.46 milliseconds faster than before. This is the shortest day in the history of human records.

Of course, 1.46 milliseconds of this small period on our biological clock and most of the laws of life will not have much impact, but some high-precision, scientific instruments will have a huge impact, such as communications, electricity, navigation, etc., these will be affected to some extent.

And the impact is much more than that. The moon's distance will also cause tidal disturbances, which will lead to the extinction of most marine life.

In addition, if we look at the human body, there will be some degree of change.

We know that the moon's magnetic field affects our body's mental activity, and once the moon is far away from the earth, then the human body will experience similar biological tides, which affect our body's biological clock.

The most intuitive feeling to our body at this time is that our sleep quality will be significantly reduced.

Until now, the Moon has been with the Earth for about 4.5 billion years.

The moon has witnessed the evolution of our planet from an eight-hour day to a 24-hour day.

It has also witnessed the long changes of our planet.

When we look up at the sky every night, we always find that the Moon only faces our Earth on one side.

When scientists analyzed the pictures of the back of the Moon from the probe, they found that the back of the Moon had been broken by many meteorites.

Countless meteorites have smashed into the Moon, scarring the back of the Moon. Each impact would be fatal to us humans.

If these meteorites had hit the surface of the Earth directly, then it is likely that there would be no life forms like us humans.

While we live freely and happily on Earth every day, we do not know that the Moon has been protecting our planet by quietly bearing countless pressures for us behind the scenes.

But one day in the future, if it continues at this rate, it will eventually leave our planet. At this moment in time, our human existence is the greatest miracle in the universe.
