International Timekeepers Are Adding Time To Saturday Night (For Real)
Submitted by News Desk 2 on Sat, 06/30/2012 - 10:07
Later tonight, everyone on earth will be granted a little extra time as International Timekeepers will be adding one second to Saturday night. Clocks will have the unusual reading of 11:59:60 before going to 12:00am. What are you going to do with your extra free time?
The timekeeper say this is needed to adjust for earths slowing rotation due to tidal effects of the moon (which is slowly getting closer to earth) and our atomic clocks (the most accurate timeclock available to humans) are running just a tad fast.
