### TIL about UTC leap seconds and now nothing is real.
* atomic time is so accurate, it exposes an inaccuracy in keeping time by the rotation of the earth
* UTC needs to be "slowed down" with leap seconds to account for the discrepancy
* We can't know when a leap second occurs beyond the next six months
* there have been 26 leap seconds in the past 53 years
I was not aware of that! Also, am I the only one who never got the memo to use UTC instead of GMT ?
