Minor adjustment to a Major problem!!!
[h=3]June 30 will be a second longer: Scientists explain why[/h]On June 30, the day will officially be a bit longer than usual because an extra second or "leap" second will be added and NASA has an explanation for this. "The Earth's rotation is gradually slowing down a bit, so leap seconds are a way to account for that," said Daniel MacMillan, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. This is the case according to the time standard that people use in their daily lives - Coordinated Universal Time or UTC. UTC is "atomic time" -- the duration of one second is based on extremely predictable electromagnetic transitions in atoms of cesium.
