You mean they have a bit? I do hope not.

Some of the constants have changed by a tiny amount.



'g' changed quite noticeably on 28th(?) December. The Earth is spinning
quite erratically at the moment.

You mean the 26th?

I don't see what it had to do with g changing

I was a bit surprised to see that day length has changed
for GPS purposes at least

The general shape of the Earth is slightly oblate - that is, it is not a
perfect sphere but is slightly squished down, making it about 26 miles wider
at the equator than between the poles. This shape, however, is not rigid,
with climate being a major distorting force.
But the magnitude nine earthquake last month almost certainly altered the
shape as well. Recent calculations have estimated that this catastrophic
land displacement caused a small reduction in the bulge, making the planet
more round.
"The waistline was reduced by not quite a millimeter because of the
earthquake," said Benjamin Fong Chao from NASA's Goddard Space Flight
Center.
This slimming down sped up the rotation of the Earth, much like when a
spinning ice skater pulls in her arms to increase her speed. The length of
the day correspondingly decreased by 2.68 millionths of a second.
