...so what that doesn't matter? Imagine you are an evil genius who has built a rocket to extend earth's orbit by an hour each day. How would you now represent time for a day once we live in that new orbit? Most people would just add an hour so the days end at 24:59:59. What if the rocket didn't extend time by an hour but instead by 59 minutes and 59 seconds. What would you do then? We can repeat this until we get down to one second. Wouldn't it make sense to end up at 24:00:00 instead of 23:59:60 in that situation?
