China’s Three Gorges Dam is so large that scientists calculated it caused a tiny slowing of Earth’s rotation—on the order of fractions of microseconds per day. The effect comes from redistributing enormous volumes of water away from Earth’s axis, increasing the planet’s moment of inertia. The change is real but harmless and imperceptible to daily life. It’s a striking example of how mega-engineering can intersect with planetary physics. Important Details: • Caused by mass redistribution of water
