> “If we have an offset from solar time, it is not extremely important,” [...] “We are already shifted by one hour in summer compared to winter time. Are we affected because of that? > Official time would slowly move out of sync with Earth’s rotation, but — given that it would take thousands of years to accumulate a difference that is greater than the kinds of shifts already caused by changing the clocks backwards and forwards for daylight savings time I think this argument: that we're syncing to atomic clocks and keeping in sync with the sun isn't so important should have been included in the post. I stand by my earlier comment that it felt like a hack, but aligning with SI unit of time + atomic clocks is, I think, far superior.
