This change, expected to occur in the near future, is a significant event as it disrupts the traditional alignment of time with the Earth's rotation. While not anticipated to lead to a catastrophe, the unprecedented nature of this situation raises concerns about potential unknown problems and risks, prompting world experts to assess the likelihood and implications of eliminating a second from timekeeping.
