[QUOTE="SithDoughnut, post: 57137517, member: 255356"] The variable changes. It [I]averages out [/I]to 0.6 seconds a year. You understand the concept of an average, right? That's what the wiki page is referring to. It's the mean difference, not the constant difference. Not remotely, you just appear to have forgotten some basic elements of mathematics. At some point, you're going to have to realise that the leap second says pretty much nothing about how fast the Earth is decelerating. On the other hand, the actual measurements to work out how fast the Earth is decelerating come up with the figures you're disputing. The leap second is not an alternative argument, it's an alternative subject. I also feel it necessary that, because you are constantly assuming that these measurements are constants, you're ignoring the fact that the time difference is cumulative, leading to the massive differences between the deceleration of the Earth and the leap seconds.
