new years 2006, delayed? Options

a second can really make a difference on earth in the long run

think of it this way:

we're only humans so we're usually only concerned with the effects that go on during our lifetimes--things that we would actually be affected by.

let's say we lost a second every year. just one second.

that's 16.7 minutes every thousand years.

that's 694 days every million years (which is almost two years behind in time  )

and you're probably thinking "hah.. a million years. like that makes a difference"

but earth is what? 2 billion years old?

so we would be 3,805 YEARS behind if we were to lose a second off of every year.

nvm. i found out earth is actually 4.55 billion years old 

so let's do some math here. 4,550,000,000 / 60 / 24 / 365.25 = 8,650 YEARS

8,650 years behind if we were to really lose a second every year 

meaning, we'd be in the year 6645 B.C.E

that's 3 thousand years older than the oldest human remains ever found. and that's only one second.

so i'd say, a second does make a difference 

hey . you're still on cb .haha

well anyways, i was thinkin exactly this . one second may not seem something now, but in fact, added over years, the second makes a difference .

"Enjoy New Year's Eve a second longer," the institute said in an explanatory notice. "You can toot your horn an extra second this year."




scientists are so cute.

[m.ar.i.a]

cool!

i never knew scientists controlled time too though or time wouold be in the category of science.... shouldn't like, historians be doing this kind of stuff? idk.

[steezahh]

thats kinda scary. adding a second to the world. cheyah, leap year adds a whole day. but people dont even notice it that much. well a second couting for the new year seems kinda weird dontchu think?

[Jeng]

wordddd thats weird. o well its a second.so...but ill be in NH hehe gettting ready to throw confetti and all that at people :]

[KissMe2408]

lol very interesting..

I'm gonna tell this to my friends on new year eve this year.
They are gonna think i'm such a loser.

lol :)

[Heathasm]

whatever im still going to do it at midnight >>; screw all of that

[iits dayna xo]

why does it matter? Its only 1 second.

[Smoogrish]

so does that mean were counting back from 61? this is confusing. is this year leap year?

I'm not on time anyways. And I always fall asleep because I've practically fused to the computer by midnight.

Okay, this is confusing and, it's 1 second how much difference can it make..?

LOL

shows how many people don't read the posts

i did all that math for like... 3 decent people who actually READ before posting.

why does it matter? Its only 1 second.

Whoa. A second. Weehee! 1 second

...ignorance

whoaaa..

[The_AZN_Godfathe...]

One second.

You know, it only takes one second to get shot.

Wonderful. I should start wearing a bulletproof vest.

[Tribal J_Rome]

^...............is that crickets i hear? >.>



anyways, that's interesting, whenever i hear about time being held back and such, even if it is just for a second.

My science teacher went into a full fledged lecture about this last year. =_=. But yeah...interesting.
