majidyusuf:Normal Clock should read 23:59:59, then wednesday 00:00:00. but today June 30, atomic clocks would read 23:59:59, then 23:59:60, before switching over to Wednesday with 00:00:00. giving us an extra second. |

deracathy: deracarthy that of a leap year is understandable. "For school" We were told that a year has 3651/4 days. We take a year as 365 days and add up the remaining 1/4 day(s) for four years and we get the extra 1 day in a leap year . Modify: I will believe this if they mean that a year has 3651/4 days and some sort micro seconds, then this "micro second(s)" is then added up every three years to produce a second. Can you believe this has been implemented since 1972, and I'm just hearing of it. |

Stancity:The change is intended to keep the UTC within half a second of astronomical time. "It's taken about three years to accumulate about a half a second difference," Wouters said. "This discrepancy accumulates at the rate of a few thousandths of a second a day." |
