An international group of experts has voted to retire the leap second by 2035.
Time is up for the leap second. Last week, an international coalition of scientists and government agencies voted to retire the dated timekeeping system, which will officially end in 2035.
Similar to leap years, leap seconds are a measure of time that get added periodically to clocks to make up for the difference between astronomical time , also known as the Earth's rotation, and Coordinated Universal Time , which is based on the atomic clock. First introduced in 1972, leap seconds have long been the bane of timekeepers' existence and have increasingly come under pressure for elimination as highly used technologies, such as satellite navigation, computer networks, telecommunication and aviation, increasingly demand extreme accuracy in time keeping.
