By switching the standard second from being based on the observation of solar events to atomic based, did we make it possible for (at some distant point in the future) high noon to happen at 09:00?
Is that better / worse than losing a second here and there?
Wait - that reminds me that the moon slows earth rotation via its tidal force iirc - eventually a day will be 1 second longer and more. In about 70000 years already, too, if my math is right. That's not absurdly far in the future. Has someone thought about what to do then? Will it be easier to make the second longer at some point?
