    <Nobody, not even the US Military, can do anything about that
    slowing.>

    But if a billion Chinese each picked up a rock and threw it eastward, once a day
    every day, the Earth would accordingly spin faster.

    It is left as a trivial calculation to the reader to determine the required mass
    of the rocks to offset the typical slowing of the earth.
