Miss-Clementine Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Leap Second for 2005 There will be an extra second added to 2005 to keep our clocks accurate to the slowdown in the earth's rotation. The extra second is added one second before midnight on December 31. The last extra second was added in 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss-Clementine Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Er Im trying to understand that too. But according to what I'm reading, it says that special kinds of clocks can show that to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 and some people are trying to stop it happeneing because it fucks up the atomic clocks :lol: You shouldn't really notice the difference in your computer clock unless you use real-time applications.
