Can the Three Gorges Dam in China slow the Earth's rotation?
The Three Gorges Dam is a hydroelectric gravity dam that spans the Yangtze River, in Central China.
It is the world’s largest hydroelectric power station, but all that power comes with great responsibility.
According to NASA, the dam delays the rotation of the Earth by 0.06 microseconds.
This happens when the dam raises trillions of pounds of water 574 feet (175 m) above sea level increasing the Earth’s moment of inertia and thus slowing its rotation.
Will the dam cause major consequences in our future or will the very minor delay not be noticeable for thousands of years?

What they didn't mention: The amount by which the dam slowed the earth's rotation is *0.06 microseconds* -- that is 6/100 of one microsecond, or just over one-half of one-tenth of a microsecond. Since one microsecond is one MILLIONTH of a second, it would take nearly 20 MILLION YEARS for the cumulative slowing effect to reach ONE SECOND in a day's rotation. In other words, not a whole boatload of an impact...

Their ultimate sacrifice was the price they paid that all that was good in the years that followed occurred because of their sacrifice. What was the work of many has benefited mankind. Such a high price to pay, their lives were not in vain even though so few remember their sacrifice. I enjoyed this little remembrance. Something to think about, how other people have sacrificed so much that I thrive today because of their work.

The Yangtze is dry ...the dam is both cracked, and dissolving at the base...big holes are now seen in the low water.... Siltation has now reached 29 meters at the base, which hastens the softening of the inferior cement. The record low water level has placed a reverse tension on the structure itself. ...which hastens the cracking on the supports built into it. The Chinese have built numerous dams in the upper regions....these regions are in a severe earthquake zone...and have been taking shock after shock as a result...they are also cracking, and disaster awaits a badly thought plan. If the 200 year drought ends...and the dam fills again, it will collapse...or maybe barely hold the water..who knows?? But, an upper dam failure will kill millions in Wuhan, Shanghai, and leave. 16 ft mud floor that will makes the cities uninhabitable for decades.

@@rburnett6266 Every infrastructure has a finite life span and every design has a safety factor against the local condition including earthquake. If you are qualified professional you wouldn't ask a silly question like you did in the Internet. I am not related to Chinese engineering design but I did had a brief contact with the China's nuclear design and reinforced concrete concrete design codes and they are just as thorough and comprehensive as the American. Developed countries like UK doesn't have a nuclear code so don't underestimate China's capability. Seismic design is just one of the many design requirements, like wind and tidal force, in the design of any structure. The risk of certain vulnerable areas is normally covered by a zone factor based on the historical earthquake history. Thus you can expect the zone factor of Sichuan will be bigger than that say in Beijing and will have a much larger corresponding "Peak Ground Acceleration" (PGA). In the US the maximum used is higher than 0.32g.for zone 4 covering areas like California whereas Texas whereas North Dakota is in Zone 0 expected to have PGA between 0.05 to 0.08g. Just like the US the Chinese safety factor used on seismic zone is based on their best estimate but there are also other factor relating to the importance of the structure, the type of the structure based on its ductility, statistical risk factor etc. One statistical factor for the Three Gorges is it has been designed for 1 in 1,000 years flood. I know for a nuclear station many installations have designed to 1/500 to 1/1,000 event. Bearing the life span of a reinforced concrete structure, like a dam, seldom more than 100 years by which time concrete is expected to be totally carbonated and reinforcing steel would have corroded beyond economic repair. I am not saying the Chinese design will last but every design is protected by the design code which represents the current state of the human knowledge. When something bad happens the national body will look at the design standard and increase the safety factor to suit the frontier of our knowledge. This is universal in every developed country throughout the world. Singling China designers doing inferior jobs and lack the thoroughness of the western countries is childish. There is no country more interested and committed in modernising its scientific knowledge than China.

I think that the essence of the video is in the click byte. The argument of the earth slowing down is not supported by logic. Slowing down or speeding up can only be caused by a change in the weight - the amount of water in this case or its height from the center of the Earth. None of this has changed, the flow in the Yangtze Tiang is still the same and the average height of the water also remains the same. In addition, the amount of water in the dam compared to the weight of water in the oceans is negligible.

This is a smear. Three Gorges Dam holds a water body of 39.3 km3, Taipu dam from Brazil/Paraguay has 29 km3 and Venezuela's Guri dam holds a massive 135 km3. This video singles out just that the Three Gorges Dam is the one slowing down the earth rotation which according to scientist is a loss of 6/100,000 second in earth rotation. I think the China-haters have lost it by looking at one corner of the iceberg. Three Gorges generates just about 100 TWh electricity, which on its own can power 1/3 of UK annual need, but China in 2021 generated 1,340 TWh from its hydro fleet. How large is 1,340 TWh? Well apart from China, US and India no other country on earth can generate more than 1,340 TWh no matter what form of generations put together in a year. Also most hydro power China generates is dispatched to over 2,000km away to the consumers. That kind of transmission technology is unavailable outside China. So smearing China doesn't make the western economies better or stronger but will makes China more advanced and powerful technologically. The three Gorges dam commenced generating electricity in 2003. The west has been concentrating to demonise and slander it weekly, monthly and yearly. China during the intervening period has increased the hydro generation by 4.76 times since 2003. China is now the world's biggest renewable generator in each of solar, wind and hydro!

Wind Turbine Blades that need to be buried bcz they're NOT recyclable.. and same goes for Solar Panels after their roughly 25 yrs of useful service.. hopefully some clever ppl will come up with solutions within the next 10 - 15 yrs.. i won't be around more than likely by the time the solar panels on my roof are done and dusted.. like myself we will both be MIA in this realm.. not to mention the wildlife that are destroyed by Wind Turbine Farms and the fires etc they can generate when they fail..

Good video, but there are some mistakes in the language and rhetoric. Sun Yat-Sen was not "the former politician in China" in 1919. He was the serving President of the Republic of China. The dam does not provide "enough energy to run 15 nuclear reactors", it provides the equivalent energy output of 15 nuclear reactors. The dam didn't "reduce" all that CO2, acid nitrate and hydrogen sulphide. It's unclear what is meant here, but I think the point is that the dam avoided the creation of these chemicals that would have happened from other energy production. Lastly, the fact the day cycle is 24 hours long has nothing to do with the point about whether the dam makes the day shorter or longer, so the "because" shouldn't fit here. In terms of the content, there are a few missed opportunities. The The Gorges Dam is interesting on its face, but it is even more interesting when you consider there are many other huge dams on the same river, whose total combined capacity far exceeds that of Three Gorges. Also the dam is the second-heaviest man-made construction in existence, after the Great Wall of China and before the Pyramids at Giza. And finally, the dam had been discussed as a target for Taiwan - something for them to attack in retaliation, should China ever invade Taiwan, which would cause a catastrophic environmental and humanitarian disaster.

Every time there's a huge earthquake, there are always headlines about the effect it had on the Earth's rotation. "Massive Earthquake Slowed Earth's Rotation!" Like this video, those headlines say less about the effect these things have on the planet and more about our impressive ability to calculate extremely tiny and practically meaningless changes to Earth's rotation. The real headline should be about how amazing physics is and how it allows us to calculate such incredibly small changes.

You never mentioned how much it less than 0.02 sec it has absolutely no effect in the lifetime of earth even without the dam the earth rotation is slowing down some models predict it will stop in a million years china's dam has fastened it by about 10 yrs I guess 'wow they created a disaster'🤦‍♂️

Get out of here, you think one dam can slow the Earths rotation lol And the dam not even that big. I mean if it slowed the Earths rotation, it would probably be so little, the number could barely be measured lol
