In the last 15 years quantum physicist have been showing the speed of light slowing. This has been documented up until 1967. In 1967 the second was redefined from orbital to so many oscillations of the cesium 133 atom. With the "new second" the orbital velocities of Venus, Mercury and Mars have been shown to be increasing. (So much for the second law of thermodynamics.)
In other words, settled science is still unsettled, just as it should be.
Citation? It is the day, i.e. earth's rotation period, that was the traditional time standard, and it is the day that is lengthening against the physical standard, leading to the leap-second.
The lengthening day is understood in terms of tidal interactions with the moon. Planetary orbital periods are much more stable, AFAIU.
“...With the “new second” the orbital velocities of Venus, Mercury and Mars have been shown to be increasing. (So much for the second law of thermodynamics.)”
The Second Law of Thermodynamics is just fine. You however, need some recalibration.
Ah, they clock how long it takes light to go a certain distance and that's how they know the speed. So if their distance ÷ time number's shrinking, how to they know it's the speed that's changing? I mean, maybe it's just that time's going faster or maybe it's the universe that's shrinking.

Interesting. You got links?
One of the best links is the one I’ve been maintaining, electrogravitics.
