[LEAPSECS] Five years to go?

[Demetrios Matsakis]

I attach a plot of my extrapolations, which take into account known periodic oscillations to predict that if the Earth continues to rotate as the same rate it has for the last 100 days, a negative leap second will be “needed" in five years.

The word file shows what the attached plot is based on.
