> Leap seconds are known with about 6 months warning. UTC has been well defined for over 30 years. Like it or not, "time" is astronomical, both historically and in actual civil use. ITYM "self-proclaimed timekeepers."
Correct, and that's why, in the very long term, TAI is not suitable to civil time. And that's also why UTC, whether implemented with leap milliseconds, leap seconds, leap minutes, or leap hours, is suitable to civil time. The key thing about UTC is the C, the coordination between atomic and astronomical time. The UTC leap hour proposal honors that. /tvb _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
