"Even a few years ago, the expectation was that leap seconds would
always be positive, and happen more and more often," Duncan Agnew, a
geophysicist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at University of
California's San Diego campus, said in a statement. "But if you look at
changes in the Earth’s rotation, which is the reason for leap seconds,
and break down what causes these changes, it looks like a negative one
is quite likely. One second doesn’t sound like much, but in today’s
interconnected world, getting the time wrong could lead to huge problems."
