Default A real opportunity

An entire root and branch treatment where timekeeping meshes closely with planetary dynamics is necessary to provide a resolution to all the technical issues of working with the 24 hour system, the calendar cycle and modern society which relies on these things while not disturbing the enormous working principles which refer planetary dynamics to terrestrial sciences and experiences.

Unless people really wish to be disruptive by continuing to assert a 'slowing Earth' in order to justify a leap second correction, the master framework for timekeeping still has to make it into wider circulation in the form of a proportion of rotations to an orbital circuit to a close proximity as a point of departure for the timekeeping measures of hours ,minutes and seconds incorporated into the leap day correction.

There are 8 years ahead of intensive research where the resolution will serve everyone and this means going back to the original reference where rotations and the annual cycle was introduced as a timekeeping principle -

".. on account of the procession of the rising of Sirius by one day in the course of 4 years,.. therefore it shall be, that the year of 360 days and the 5 days added to their end, so one day shall be from this day after every 4 years added to the 5 epagomenae before the new year" Canopus Decree 238 BC

Anyone can be a commentator and profess opinions about anything and everything but an innovator looks behind the narrative and is bound to determine what it is these great people were looking at in terms of planetary dynamics.. This is where the opportunity exists and thankfully the decision to postpone the issue was the right one,

The Earth's rotation is slowing down. That's a fact, and so recognizing it
doesn't require a wish to be disruptive.

Leap seconds are an extra complication for which some computer software is not
prepared, and so there is concern that a leap second could cause disruption to
Internet services. Back before we switched to atomic time in the 1970s, the
second of civil time was simply made longer than the SI second in order to deal
with the same issue - so before it became a concern for everyone, the fact that
the Earth's rotation is slowing was well known.

The Earth is a physical object. It interacts gravitationally with the Moon, and
so its rotation leads to the transfer of angular momentum to the Moon's orbital
motion. As the Earth's rotation slows, the Moon also moves farther away from
the Earth.

It is time for you to move on lad, there were a few days when things were getting out of hand that I left open for the nuisance posters to have their say but that door is now closed.
