This coming July 1st is a second longer than usual 24hours. Just before 9 am, an extra second is inserted. This is because the earth's rotation speed is not constant - it varies due to the oceanic tides or the inertia of the mantle movement underground. In today's computerized society, a mere second difference can cause all sorts of problems, therefore abandoning this "leap second" system entirely is being discussed. soa natural?
