Located in a hollowed-out Texan mountain, the installation of Jeff Bezos’ 10-millennia clock has begun. Cool, but as cool as a car in space?
Attention time geeks: a leap second has been scheduled for June 30, 2012. The month will be one second longer, to re-synchronize Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is based on an atomic clock, and Universal Time (UT) which is based on the earth’s rotation. Basically it’s a cool moment where your clock will legitimately read 23:59:60.
