Atomic clock scientists suggest shortening minute to 59 seconds

Something is wrong here and the scientist did not really mean this and was probably misquoted. If you reduce a minute by one second, you will reduce each day by 24 minutes or cycle through an entire day every 60 days. Noon will switch to midnight and midnight will switch to noon every 30 days with the accumulated reduction of 24 minutes each day. There is a big difference between changing a minute and changing a year by 1 second.

Great, I’ll get some extra days I’d otherwise have missed. ;^)
