On Tuesday June 30st, at precisely 23:59:60 GMT, a leap second will be added to earth time. UTC worldtime is then changed to compensate the slowing eart`s rotation. This is based on aprox 200 atomic clocks worldwide, they run more constantly/consistently then Mother Earth herself. This will be the 25th time a second is added since 1972.
The last time was in 2012, when many websites couldnt handle this change and needed to be restarted, as well as parts on the Internet that did shut down. Google is now prepared by slowing down their own clock for internet time, so never use their time to set your beloved watch.
Worse still is the time on our smartphone`s , it runs aprox 17 seconds behind UTC official time, because of all the traveling to and fro satelites and their computers. Just find your local UTC worldtime website to set your watch at the new time.
As every second counts i thought this could be useful to the members. And maybe also this ;
If a man owns 1 watch he knows what time it is. If a man owns 2 watches he can never really be sure what time it is. If a man own`s 3 watches he can be more sure than the man with only 2 !. Buy more watches !
