So if you agree with Donald Sadler, has already GMT concluded.
I do agree, and I also disagree, for Sadler was in large part
responsible for another tacit change to GMT. Like others engaged in
the present redefinitions, given his job Sadler could not have dared
to describe the consequences of that in plain language.
The upcoming redefinition of UTC may well be seen as the logical
consequence of its tremendous success as a reference time scale:
billions of devices need an easily accessible continuous time
scale with constant rate for sequencing events and for the
computation of time derivatives.
And the secular deviation of UT from UTC in the future might
be one of the consequences that you think D H Sadler did not
dare to describe in plain language.
