Well, Earth Rotataion takes us round in circles, so, yes ? The point here is that when somebody says "I'm born on 31st of march" the uncertainty is +/- 23:59:59 until they also tell you where they were born. The difference between UT1 and UTC in that context is utterly ridiculously insignificant, even if it is theoretically applicable. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [email protected] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
