If you have to have the CORRECT time...then tdon't forget to set your clocks ahead this Saturday at midnight ... by one second.
This Saturday, a "leap second" will be added to the clock at midnight.... After 11:59:59 PM, the clocks will roll to 11:59:60.
Why?
AThe earth is spinning a little slower than it used to, courtesy of the moon's gravitational tug, making each day about two milliseconds longer than it was a century ago.
So every few years, the clocks are corrected to synchronize with official U.S. atomic clocks.
