Did you know that every second around the world, there are 31,250 likes on Facebook and 800 phone calls made…?
We know that every four years, the world adds a leap year. However, in 2015, contrary to tradition, we will have an additional “leap second.”
This means that 2015 will be one second longer than a normal year, and this will occur on June 30, 2015. Specifically, June 30, 2015, will have 86,401 seconds instead of the usual 86,400 seconds.
According to calculations from scientists at the Institute for Earth Rotation Research, the reason for this additional “leap second” is that our Earth is slowing down its rotation.
However, experts are concerned that adding a second to the time measurement system could cause disruptions or even paralysis in the global Internet. This shows that even a fleeting second can lead to significant events.
Let’s take a look at how our world changes in just one second.
