Scientists and diplomats will meet this Thursday in Versailles to vote on the future of the leap second, an extra second that is occasionally added to our clocks to synchronize them with the irregular rotation of the Earth, which could have billions of dollars in impact on the technology industry. #SecondeIntercalaire #Technologie #MesureDuTemps (translated)

The General Conference on Weights and Measures, meeting in Versailles, discusses the possibility of eliminating the leap second due to the acceleration of the Earth's rotation, which could lead to significant technological disruptions if a negative leap second were ever introduced. #Métrologie #Temps #SecondeIntercalaire (translated)
