Podľa mojich zdrojov z ruských dokumentov stačí na vychýlenie dráhy zeme aj menej, okolo 200 Mt TNT. Počítal to Andrej Sacharov a ruské dokumenty nezvyknú trepať kydy ako západné s výnimkou BBC.
Na ovplyvnenie rýchlosti rotácie planéty stačí ešte menej, dokonca aj čínska obria priehrada na Jang C Tiang spomalila zem o dáku mikrosekundu.
Raising 39 trillion kilograms of water 175 meters above sea level will increase the Earth’s moment of inertia, and thus slow its rotation. However, the impact will be extremely small. NASA scientists calculated the shift of such a mass will increase the length of day by only 0.06 microseconds, and make the Earth only very slightly more round in the middle and more flat on the top. It will also shift the pole position by about two centimeters (0.8 inch).
