When you are done with your task - you realise how much time has passed - yet you are amazed at the disconnect between that fact and how it actually feels
In my view - if you can relate to that - then there lies a clue to what I think is being expressed.
I would say that it is the experience of time that is an illusion.
Time is a fact not an illusion. Time passes. Linear time is experienced, it can be measured. The original post does not refute that either. It simply says the mechanics are changing.
Have you never driven from A to B and then suddenly realised you just arrived with no recollection of the minutiae of details that happened on the journey - nor the passage of time associated with it? It is a common experience among people undergoing energetic changes within their bodies.

I can agree fully that our perception of how quickly time passes changes. It seems to be based mostly on how much attention we pay to time.
8 or 10 hours of sleep passes with immediacy.
I was questioning the posters who stated that 'time is an illusion' and seemed to state that no day is different from any other.
As for the OP, if the rotation of the earth is speeding up, then days will become shorter. If (and I mean IF) the earth's core spins at a different rate than the earth's crust, I would say that would have no bearing on our perception of time.
Time is the measurement of speed at which interstellar and intersolar objects move through space in relation to each other.
I don't think anyone here can experiment with that.
