Definition Of Second, Atomic Time, Earth'S Rotation, Utc

Scientific paper

The definition of the length of the Atomic Second is based on measurements of the Earth's rotation made during the past 300 years. It has become too short because of the long-term deceleration of the Earth's rotation, making it necessary to add more and more leap seconds to UTC. By defining a longer Atomic Second and enlarging the limit of UTC from UT1, we would not need any leap second in the next dozens of years.
