Tomorrow, when the whole world is daily increases one time due to the phenomenon known as leap seconds. National Space Agency Science Officer, Mohd Zamri Shah Mastor, said this means the entire time tomorrow will be a time of 24 hours. He pointed out one time bonus' This is due to the rotation of the earth on its axis slower. Earth's rate of rotation, among others, he said, is influenced by the movement of the poles, tidal friction, interaction with the middle layer of the earth's land and weather. "These factors may cause the rotation of the earth, whether slow or fast growing, so the phenomenon of leap seconds is not something fixed, it depends on the rotation of the earth," he told Bernama, here, today. Mohd Zamri said one time bonus will be earned at the end of the day tomorrow. In this regard, he said the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems (IERS) based in Paris and serves as a watchdog of the earth's rotation will harmonize world standards (UTC) in proportion to the actual rotation of the earth. "Despite increased only one time and many are overlooked, but this time the impact on the industry-oriented high-precision timing, he said. So far, according to Zamri, UTC has added a second 25 times since 1972 with the last one July 2012. Meanwhile, Senior Principal of Metrology, the National Metrology Laboratory, SIRIM Berhad, Dr Mohd Nasir Zainal Abidin, when asked whether the time, among others, in the cell phone to be adjusted manually, he said that all electronic devices will speed up automatically to network time protocol server. Similarly interconnected computer or network, he said, adding that the issue of the inclusion of leap seconds are critical to the server. Asked whether the server fails to function properly tomorrow, he explains what happened on the same phenomenon occurred in June 2012 in weekend. "Even so, 10 percent of the time server networking protocol in the world make mistakes. Most servers can be set up within an hour but some other party takes a day, "he said, adding that in Australia, the airline check-in systems due to the additional time has affected the popular website. Therefore, for normal work day tomorrow, he advised measures just in Observed in the online business, network systems, internet service providers, digital time notary services and applications such as MySQL, Hadoop and Cassandra. "Some service providers are taking steps to suspend or stop operations for several hours before and after the change of time. It is difficult to state precisely because it was not widely reported. "However, this problem can not be ignored because a large number of business transactions can occur within seconds. Furthermore, the transaction is not limited to a single time zone," he said. - BERNAMA
