From May 20, 2024, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures will transition to a continuous Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) with a maximum difference of 3600 seconds from the Earth's rotation, which has a minimal impact on people's daily lives. #čas #přestupnáskupina #metrologie (translated)
We, as inhabitants of Earth, perceive it. However, it does not correspond exactly to the time related to the rotation of the Earth, the one that "we, as inhabitants of Earth, perceive," explained Thomas Grenon, the general director of the National Laboratory of Metrology and Testing (LNE) in France. #secundăIntercalară #timp #UTC (translated)
In Paris, physicists and metrology experts are coming together to decide the future of the leap second, with the proposal to significantly increase the allowable deviation between atomic time and astronomical time in order to minimize issues with software and networks. #schrikkelseconde #tijdmeting #digitalisering (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)
Președintele RENAR, Fănel Iacobescu, a subliniat necesitatea ca autoritățile publice să protejeze populația în timpul crizei economice actuale, care a redus drastic puterea de cumpărare, și a reamintit rolul esențial al RENAR în asigurarea calității și siguranței bunurilor și serviciilor de pe piață. #Economia #Securitate #Metrologie
