Well, no, not for more than half the year. I happen to be close to the Greenwich meridian so my clocks currently show something close to mean solar time (about 30 seconds fast, I think?) but that isn't true for most people. I assumed from your complaint about losing access to solar time that you cared about roughly-second or subsecond precision, because if your precision requirements are "look at the clock on the wall" your complaint does not make sense. The clock on the wall tells the time for social purposes, not for the position of the sun in the sky. -- Tony Finch <d...@dotat.at> https://dotat.at/ Isle of Man: West 5 or 6, backing south 3 or 4, then southeast 6 or 7 later. Mainly moderate, becoming slight for a time. Showers, rain later. Mainly good, becoming moderate or poor later. _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
