I suddenly feel like a small ant on a huge planet, in a massive solar system, in an immense galaxy, in a ginormous universe. The Moon slowing down the Earth? Scary stuff... |
What I don't understand is why they choose those dates. Why not use the dates when the clocks change, then people for whom a second matters (phone companies etc) would only have one lot of reprogramming to do? |
Daylight saving: national Leap second: global That's why, I suspect. |
Most European countries and a lot of the rest of the world who change their clocks twice a year use the same weekends though? Maybe it's just too logical to combine things (men are probably in charge of time) |
Okay, I have to confess to finding that extremely interesting. No doubt I'll be imparting my new found fact upon fellow revellers tonight, whether they want to know it or not... |
So... do I have to buy a new computer? |
