Ever wonder what Father Time does with all those extra seconds? An actual solar year is 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes 46 seconds. True, the leap day ever four years helps, but things don’t add up perfectly. Scientists round the 5 hours and change up to 6 hours. But those missing seconds and minutes add up.

So when the bill comes due, old Father Time is a little bit short. So…can you spare a minute?
