[QUOTE="SithDoughnut, post: 57092590, member: 255356"] It's not just a timing difference - it is a timing difference that is effected by the slowing down of the Earths rotation, leading to irregularity. If you want a better way of looking at it, I'm counting to 100 but slowing down at varying speeds. You are still counting faster than I am, but you're trying to keep in sync with me, meaning that at random points you have to count the same number twice. Now, early on, you were counting a lot faster than me, but now I'm not slowing down as much, so you don't have to count twice as much. The amount of times you have to count twice does not indicate how fast I am slowing down, because it's the amount I slow down plus the amount you counted faster than me. Basically, it's both the Earth slowing down and us counting too fast that leads to leap seconds. Does that make more sense? [/QUOTE]
