But the Earth's rotation is unaffected. The stars will move through
the night sky so as to return to their previous positions after 23

a big heavy ball of rock, and so making it speed up or slow down would
require prodigious amounts of energy, and somewhere to which to
transfer the angular momentum involved.

And, in the classic example, would make all of Joshua's soldiers fall down and
ROLL for a thousand miles...
