How does it go? _Weebles___wobble but they don't fall.down. LOL Someone was laughing when they wrote that jingle.

Should it? Unless I can one day transcend space and time and gain an eternal existence in the process , I'll be awaiting the sweet release of death... though I do find that which I do have awe-inspiring.

we're also hurtling around the sun at 30km per second. Gravity has kept everybody on board so far, I don't think anyone's going to get flung off just yet so try not to worry.

Some people can't help but worry and try to recruit more asking a worrying question. I AM SO INMUNE!!!!! ...to the point of being annoying.

Ancient civilizations figured it out and created astronomical (astrological?) timetables that recognized a 26,000 year cycle that is based on this wobble. Amazing how their scientific powers of observation were so accurate.

Since it’s been doing so all of my life, not at all.

Given the scale of our world relative to us - it's rather large - we can't feel the rotation or the wobble. So no. I'm not worried in the slightest.

I think I'd actually be more concerned at this point if it suddenly stopped wobbling.

Not yet. If it changes much I might begin to be a bit concerned.

The Aliens made the axles out of a metal especially developed for planetary spin. That's why we get sightings so often. They're here for preemptive maintenance services. Now if we can just get them to replace the ice at the poles while they're there.

No, I can't say that it does. What makes me nervous is what humans are doing to the earth and its inhabitants.

Back in the day when I was a Honky Tonk Man (alcoholic) I could have used this to formulate some kind of an excuse for why I wobbled, to use on those policemen who had the unreasonable opinion that I was drunk.

Nope. It always has wobbled. The earth was a lot more unstable earlier in its history. Originally the moon was a lot closer and the earth's rotation was much faster, dogn complete rotations in about 8 hours. As the moon slowly moved further away (it is still gradually moving further away), the earth's rotation clowed, much like how when you see a dancer or iceskater, when they pull in tight they spin quickly, but when they extend out they slow down.

Eventually, the moon would break orbit from the earth, except before that happens the sun will expand to a point that encompasses teh earth's orbit. This is millions of years in the future, so nothing to worry about now.

Anyway, at present, the earth is actually pretty stable.

If things like that make you worry, may I suggest reading a copy of Mad's Worry Book? It's full of lots of things that are real and possibly worth worrying about.

Not even remotely, as there are plenty of more immediate issues to worry about - IF you want to.

That's because our Earth wobbles just like a spinning top does except over a much longer period (26,000 years as mentioned by Hominid below) and there are other minor movements as well too complex to even describe simply.

Yes,i have the rare affliction know as the wobbling earth phobia , and must take anti wobbling medication.
