Interesting. I have seen some comment about it but there is a phenomena called Nutation. It is a short-term variation in the earth's axis. May account for soem changes but who knows for sure?
R= earth's rotation P = the 26,000 year cycle of the earth's axis N = Nutation - variations in the axis angle Because the dynamics of the planets are so well known, nutation can be calculated within seconds of arc over periods of many decades. There is another disturbance of the Earth's rotation called polar motion that can be estimated only a few months ahead, because it is influenced by rapidly and unpredictably varying things such as ocean currents, wind systems, and motions in the Earth's core. |
