 BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Timekeeping proposal sparks row
The US plan to abolish leap seconds would force astronomers to look for new ways to make sure their telescopes are pointed in the right part of the sky.
The row highlights the tug of war between two distinct forms of timekeeping: absolute timekeeping, based on atomic frequencies; and everyday timekeeping, based on the rotation of the Earth (solar time).
Though this would probably require an expensive one-off change, the astronomers would no longer be able to rely on UTC and would most likely have to use a novel server or program to correct for the changes in Earth's rotation.
