#Leap Second
June 30th of this year we will live a second longer
A leap in time due to a change in the Astronomical Time
caused by slowing down the Earth's rotation.
The first "leap second", occurred in 1972 and, since then, was followed by others 25. A phenomenon that is due to the unpredictable nature of events, such as earthquakes, tides and weather, that is, all those elements that change the Earth's rotation and Consequently, the "flow" of time.
June 30th watches in the world will mark the 11:59:60 pm instead of the classic 11:59:59 pm. To this day, there will be 86401 seconds instead of 86400. The length of the day for all of us on Earth will have a second longer.
So we were able to lengthen the time!?!
And how come we can make things so difficult and we can not do other things much easier, how to stop these stupid wars ....
Many thanks to Lenabem Anna J. for beautiful moon :))
