That is pretty fine tuned given they only insert a full day. ;)

In Chinese lunar calendar, and probably other calendars as well, they insert a full month known as the leap month. Yes, you hear me right, 13 months in such leap years.

Indeed. Such 2000 years old garbage is just not very compatible with modern way of life in which lots of things are being changed.

The current definition based on some funny behavior of Caesium atom is no longer the best. UTC is another drama deserve to have more care.
