Earth is spinning faster, raising leap second questions
Original: jorden snurrar snabbare
News outlets in Sweden report that Earth is rotating slightly faster than before, prompting discussion about scrapping the leap second – the extra second occasionally added to atomic clocks to keep them aligned with Earth's rotation. The potential removal of the so-called 'shot second' is being debated as scientists track the planet's quickening spin and its implications for global timekeeping.
Why now: New measurements showing Earth's faster rotation have reignited debate over abolishing the leap second.
