One day in the next couple of years, everyone in the world will lose a second of their time. Exactly when that will happen is being influenced by humans, according to a new study, as melting polar ice alters the Earthβs rotation and changes time itself.
The hours and minutes that dictate our days are determined by Earthβs rotation. But that rotation is not constant; it can change ever so slightly, depending on whatβs happening on Earthβs surface and in its molten core.
These nearly imperceptible changes occasionally mean the worldβs clocks need to be adjusted by a βleap second,β which may sound tiny but can have a big impact on computing systems.
Plenty of seconds have been added over the years. But after a long trend of slowing, the Earthβs rotation is now speeding up because of changes in its core. For the first time ever, a second will need to be taken off.
βA negative leap second has never been added or tested, so the problems it could create are without precedent,β Patrizia Tavella, a member of the Time Department at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in France, wrote in an article accompanying the study.
But exactly when this will happen is being influenced by global warming, according to the study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Melting polar ice is delaying the leap second by three years, pushing it from 2026 to 2029, the report found.
βPart of figuring out what is going to happen in global timekeeping β¦ is dependent on understanding what is happening with the global warming effect,β said Duncan Agnew, professor of geophysics at the University of California San Diego and the studyβs author.

Every now and then I mention something about the city of Brno to my american friends and it often causes much confusion/concern, so I wanna try to make a list summary of Everything Wrong With Brno
imma start
- there is a place called Hell
- there is a public transport stop called Crematorium, it is named after the nearby crematorium
- it is oddly easy to take the wrong tram and accidentally end up at the Crematorium
- the crematorium looks like this
add more
- there is a memorial plaque in the city to a woman who fell into the ground. In 1970 (I think) the lady was standing on a bus stop when a pipe burst, the ground opened up and the woman wasn't found for like 50 years because of the extensive ancient tunnels under the city
- all the tourist atractions are super creepy. 1) the ossuary. 2) the monk mummies under a church. 3) the city catacombs. 4) the medieval prison exposition at the castle. 5) the best city museum is probably Anthropos, the archeological museum. Full of bones.
- magic mushrooms grow wild all around the city
- there is a massive underground former strip club that got turned into a tea room. It's absolutely massive and cavernous. They didn't get rid of the pool tables and erotic art but they serve 50 types of green tea and desserts.
- the nudist lake in the old quarry
- Timo, the Banksy of Brno
- numbers 44 and 84, the circular route buses which arrive in random intervals and sometimes make you get out and then get back in. All of this makes sense to us locals.
- the smoking traffic signs and other random poles
- KamennΓ‘ kolonie: the village in the middle of a massive fuckn city
- One of the biggest prides of the Moravian Gallery is the Head of Medusa by Rubens. A very creepy painting which is plastered around the city and gave me nightmares in the kindergarten
- you can buy wine from the barrel in basically every shop
- there is a fishing shop with a maggot vending machine
Ja som asi slepΓ‘ a ΕΎijem pod kameΕom. Brno mΓ‘ katakomby??? DopravnΓ© znaΔenia o fajΔenΓ????? Ε½enskΓ‘ v tuneloch?????
och ne, ne znaΔky o kouΕenΓ
Brno is on the next level
Can confirm that those maggots and earthworms from the vending machine are fucking mint.
But also you keep forgetting all the statues of penis imagery of Brno:
1. The dick horse my beloved
2. Mozart with adult face and child's body
3. The dildo clock that gets condom every winter
4. This executor taking away washing machine cause he is a dick
Truly city of culture
nezapomΓnejme na nejnovΔjΕ‘Γ pΕΓrΕ―stek! Ε½elvuΕ‘ka jen do 26.3. ve VaΕkovce

@the-aesthetic-weasel I have questions. Many, many questions.
yeah they taught us about the woman who fell at school. Also did I mention that there's a school that used to be a concentration camp?
we are and it indeed is
THERE IS A WHAT SHAPED LIKE A WHAT
COΕ½E
ok ale "prΓ‘vnickΓ‘ fakulta v bΓ½valΓ© budovΔ gestapa" je kovovΓ© jak sviΕ
Ten pΕ―dorys mΓ‘ pΕipomΓnat kleΔΓcΓho andΔla ale musΓm pΕiznat ΕΎe uΕΎ jsem asi vidΔla horΕ‘Γ pokusy o hakenkreuz. A jo koncentrΓ‘k tam bΓ½val. Teda jenom jako pracovnΓ tΓ‘bor ΕΎΓ‘dnΓ½ takovΓ½ to vyhlazovacΓ svinstvo. JeΕ‘tΔ tak na pΕelomu tisΓciletΓ tam u hΕiΕ‘tΔ prΓ½ bΓ½valy nΔjakΓ© boudy kde bydleli vΔzni.
Ale proti kounicovΓ½m kolejΓm je to ΓΊplnΓ‘ pohoda. Tam byl za vΓ‘lky normΓ‘lnΓ krym a popraviΕ‘tΔ. Pamatuju si ΕΎe babiΔka ΕΓkala ΕΎe nΔjakΓ‘ uΔitelka co ju uΔila ve Ε‘kole tak bydlela hned vedle a ΕΎe se z toho zblΓ‘znila.

The business shaman's business suit without a single flaw
His PHD in business ghosts, as well as business law
See him hunt for business seeds oer hill and business dale
Licking ash from cigarettes like business oyster shells
Beneath the burning business stars, he dreams of business things,
of wise and elder business ghosts, of ancient business kings.
So hail the business shaman! May your business berries fruit!
May never loss of profit stain your flawless business suit
