Till now when the speed of the earth was low, leap seconds were added to the atomic watches. But for the first time, now there can be a chance of removing the leap second. This will be the first time in history. Removing from a second time will be considered technically a major incident. According to scientists, this change will not affect the routine of common people. But this is very important for time calculation.
When will these shortest days come?

How was the earth’s move first?
Millions of years ago, the earth’s move was very different from today. In the era of dinosaurs, the days used to be only 23 hours. This time increased until the bronze age, but was still less less than today. Scientists believe that one day will also come when the day on earth will be 25 hours. But it will take 20 million years.
Why the speed of the earth increased?
The answer to this question is not completely clear yet. Scientists have some theory, but the concrete reason is still unsolved. Some possible causes:
-The regime back (after glacier melts)
-Bhumble or internal plate movement
Moscow State University researcher Leonid Jotov did a study on it in 2022. He also admitted that ‘no one was watching it’. According to him, perhaps the activities happening in the Earth’s melted outer core should be the reason.
There is a difference between the rotation speed of the earth and the time of atomic watches. This is the reason why leap seconds are added from time to time. Till now these seconds were added. But if the earth continues to rotate fast, then you may have to decrease. The first time can come in 2029 when we have to remove one second from Atomic time.
No. Scientists say that this is a completely technical process. Neither will our mobile phone affect nor watches. Nor will there be any hindrance on the Internet or satellite system. But it is definitely a matter of remembering that the time, which we consider to be the most stable, is also affected by the movement of the earth.
