Timekeepers Consider Time Change As Earth Spins Faster

Clocks may skip a second, called a "negative leap second," around 2029.

Time as we know it could change in the near future.

For the first time in history, timekeepers are considering to subtract a second from our clocks. The decision comes as Earth is rotating a little faster than it used to.

Clocks may skip a second, called a “negative leap second,” around 2029.

It was said ice melting at both of the planet’s poles has reportedly been counter-acting Earth’s faster speed which could lead to the slight time change in the next few years.
