— a clock approximately one second late · indefinitely —
the leap second is added (or, more rarely, subtracted) so that universal time does not drift away from the earth. it has been done 27 times since 1972. each leap second is a tiny anomaly in the unix epoch — a second that is counted, or not counted, somewhere in the world's clocks. compare time, clock room, ticking.
