Imagine a world where the Earth's rotational cycle is 20 hours. It has wreaked havoc on ecosystems that need sunlight. Although some plant life can adapt, others are endangered. Is there a way to slow down earth as to save our plant life and "ecosystems"?
For example: Could we point all the rockets we have West and then fire them up, which might make earth slow down slightly?
EDIT The amount of time in which the Earth's rotational cycle was changed from 24 to 20 hours took 1 hour.
