Michael Flores+FollowEarth Might Need a 'Negative Leap Second'?!Earth is spinning so fast right now that scientists are actually talking about subtracting a second from our clocks—a 'negative leap second.' We’ve never done this before, and it could mess with computers, satellites, and even your phone. Turns out, melting ice from climate change is slowing things down a bit, but if Earth keeps speeding up, timekeepers might have to pull off this wild clock hack. Y2K vibes, anyone? #Science #EarthScience #Timekeeping10Share
Meghan Reynolds+FollowDid You Know What AM & PM Really Mean?Here’s a mind-bender: most of us use AM and PM daily, but do you actually know what they stand for? Turns out, it’s not 'after midnight' or 'past morning.' The real roots are Latin—'ante meridiem' and 'post meridiem,' tied to the sun’s position. Even techies were stumped! Does this change how you think about timekeeping, or is it just trivia? Let’s debate: should we ditch these ancient terms for something more modern? #Timekeeping #TechTrivia #LearnSomethingNew #Tech5933Share
