Earth’s acceleration prompts timekeepers to consider never-before move

Roger W. WatsonScience and Technology

The planet’s natural rhythm is changing—and timekeepers around the world are watching closely. Earth is rotating faster than it used to, prompting scientists and international timekeeping authorities to consider an adjustment that has never been made before: subtracting a second from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).This potential step, known as a "negative leap second," would mark a first in human history. While leap seconds have been added to synchronize clocks with Earth’s slightly irregular rotation, the idea of taking one away introduces complex challenges to technology, communications, and global systems that rely on precise timing.For many years, measuring time has involved…

“Why Psycho’s music is the go-to reference for building suspense in film”

Roger W. WatsonCulture and Entertainment

In the history of cinema, few moments have been as instantly recognizable and profoundly influential as the high-pitched, stabbing violins that accompany the infamous shower scene in Psycho. Composed by Bernard Herrmann, this score didn’t merely serve as background music — it became an integral part of the psychological terror that gripped audiences and left an indelible mark on the way filmmakers approached suspense.Before Psycho, film scores often worked subtly, reinforcing mood or emotion without drawing attention to themselves.
