http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_energy

The Earth's rotational energy of a single day.

"Therefore, it has a rotational kinetic energy of 2.138×1029 J"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_binding_energy

The gravitational binding energy of Earth.

Using this, the real gravitational binding energy of Earth can be calculated numerically to U = 2.487 · 1032 J

1000+ time greater than the rotational energy of a single day.

A day = 24 hours = 1440 minutes. Accelerator slowed the Earth down for 5 minutes.

From here, it is just some easy math.
