Hey Zanti,

Not Mentioned in the Article is that Our Solar System is Moving into Different Regions of Space too . That Can also Have an Effect on Earths Rotation .

Yes, I have been reading on this.
It may very well play a part in our global warming as well.

Yes , the Mayan 2012 Connection here was Not a World Ending Scenario , but the Earth Moving into a Region of Space of a Higher Frequency and Vibratory Rate Effecting Matter here on Earth along with Human Consciousness I would Personally Surmise........

There's a lot of deep science going on in that post. I remember Y2K, I was 20 years old and looking forward to the doom porn before I was let down. Maybe something like that is needed in this day of effed up media and smart phones.

You can thank people like me, who worked endlessly overtime getting machines that were tested and failed, out of industry, patching ones we could and suffering silently the jesters with their "omg water will stop working!" quips, for your unsatisfying y2k doom porn... "Nothing happened lolz!"... accurate, we made sure it didn't.

24 hours =
86400000 milliseconds

86400000 / 1.59
54.339.622,64150943

54.339.622,64150943 / 365 =
= 148.875,6784698889

148876 years


So in 148876 years the world will stop rotating ?

Or did I do my math wrong

Why is Earth speeding up?

There are many suggestions but no conclusive proof as to why Earth is spinning faster. Some of the hypotheses include:

5. Obviously from not taxing "the rich" enough and redistributing it to Leftist causes.

For a serious comment, we turn our clocks back a full hour once a year and civilization somehow survives. We should be able to shave off the required milliseconds and live to tell about it.

damn it, i was in the govt. sector, still got paid peanuts from fat elephants sitting on their arses with demands outweighing their worth...

Swan Tafe, now polytechnic west, so much I did for them that they stole as my own IP... lecturers... don't talk to me about lecturers... Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they tell me install an illegal copy of windows xp... Pardon me for breathing, which I never do anyway so I don't know why I bother to say it, Oh God, I'm so depressed.

Now I understand why I keep looking like my grandad more and more!
He actually looks younger than me.Thanks Mr Einstein for your theory of relativity.

It's been listening to leftists and their excuses for rationalizing everything. The spin is getting to it.

well, if we continue to have a missing millisecond every year, i guess it's not a worry, since we will only have to have a negative leap second once in a thousand years...

True , but WHAT IF as a Re4sult of that we ALL are Thrust Into a Higher Dimension of " SELF AWARENESS " , and Some People Will just Not be Able to Handle it ? You Chillin' to that Bro > ?

If this trend continues they may have to add the first ever, negative leap second. That could cause some problems for the current technology we use.

Why?

Adding negative leap seconds will cause havoc with IT systems.

Why? Adding positive leap seconds didn't cause any havoc.

Apart from that, smartphones, computers, and other communications systems will render useless as they are synchronised with Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers.

So what? They aren't synchronised to the millisecond. In fact, most systems have a delay of almost one second without any problem.

Since the clock progresses from 23:59:59 to 23:59:60 before resetting to 00:00:00, a time jump like this can crash programmes and corrupt data.

Clocks have been moving from 23:59:50 to 00:00:00 without any problem for decades, why would they jump to an unexisting time like 23:59:60 because of a negative leap second?

I don't get why all the fuss.

I know. I keep sort of kneeing the back of the driver's seat but he won't...

Oh wait, you're serious, so it wasn't just me.

Why is Earth speeding up?

There are many suggestions but no conclusive proof as to why Earth is spinning faster. Some of the hypotheses include:

1. Loss of the weight at poles due to melting of glaciers

2. Ocean tides caused by seismic activities

3. Moon's gravitational pull

4. The 'Chandler wobble' effect – as Earth is not perfectly spherical, which results in small deviation in its axis of rotation

"We don't know the cause of the acceleration of Earth's rotation. We have only hypothesis concerning the cause," said Christian Bizouard, from the Paris Observatory at International Astronomical Union.

"We assume that the cause is internal and lies in the movement of Earth's core. The crust which is linked to geological time scales, slides over the mantle and it is commonly assumed that the time variation is caused by this core-mantle interaction," he told CGTN.

"But we have only a speculative model of this theory based on the motion of the core," he added.

Not Mentioned in the Article is that Our Solar System is Moving into Different Regions of Space too . That Can also Have an Effect on Earths Rotation .

i'm not sure either,

but when a skater spins on the ice, they pull their arms in closer to their body to go faster.

something is being pulled toward earth's core? water, atmosphere, land?

funny though just a few weeks ago i thought it was slowing down,

thing is, it was a sudden slowness, not gradual.

the sun was like 5-7 mins later than usual it seemed like.

And when it’s all a smouldering ruin you guys will just ask everyone if they have tried restarting their pc/device right?

Yeah, we started transitioning to Clown World around that time.

I think it may be a tad bit off....
The earth's rotation didn't slow by 1.59, it sped up.

We have added a positive leap second 27 times over the last 50 years.

I am not an IT guy, buy I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.


From what I have read, it mostly has to do with the 32 bit storage systems presently in use and their ability to keep up with adding/subtracting of leap seconds.
One issue is either the uptime, the time the system has been up, or the boottime, the time the system booted, will be wrong by 1 second if a leap second was crossed. Logs at 23:59:60 are wrongly stamped with 23:59:59.
Protocol timers are not affected. NTP falls out of sync and steps the clock to correct it--this takes several minutes in accordance with NTP rules.
Maybe @Networkdude could answer your questions better...

ah.. okay then, the world will spin so fast in 148876 years that time disappear and the planet explode or turn into a blackhole

I some times find it hard to think what day it is!
with ALL the seconds they have added.

Its still yesterday!!!
