With a cosmic decrease of Newton's gravitational ‘constant', the Earth
will expand. The result is that the mass is distributed farther and
farther from the axis of rotation. This causes the angular velocity of
the Earth to decrease.

With a cosmic decrease of Newton's gravitational ‘constant', the Earth
will expand. The result is that the mass is distributed farther and
farther from the axis of rotation. This causes the angular velocity of
the Earth to decrease. A lower angular velocity is equal to a longer
day. Technically speaking, the moment of inertia of the Earth
increases gradually as the radius increases caused by a decreasing
gravity.
In my treatise I derive an equation which gives a connection between
one Earth-day t(1)(the period of the rotation of the Earth about its
axis) when the Universe had an age T(1) and one Earth-day t(2) when
the Universe had an age T(2). The equation gives only the effect
caused by a cosmic decreasing gravity and it is given by:

(1) t(1) = t(2)*(T(1)/T(2))^(2/3)

From equation (1) we can calculate the Earth-day t(1) for the Earth in
the Devon period, about 400 million years ago.
Using the values T(2) = 13.5 billion years and T(1) = 13.1 billion
years, and t(2) = 24 hour, we get:

(2) t(1) = 24hour*(13.1/13.5)^(2/3) = 23.5 hour

that is, the day of the Earth had been at least about 0.5 hour shorter
400 million years ago.

What says geological observations?
