News Desk: If it is said, not 60 seconds, but 1 minute in 59 seconds, then surely you will look at a bizarre informant with big eyes! But in the near future, we may have to accept this shocking information. Children will memorize, 1 minute is equal to 59 seconds.

The Telegraph has recently confirmed this information by quoting such research of scientists. We know that the earth takes 24 hours to revolve once on its own axis. Research by scientists has shown that the speed of the earth's rotation is gradually increasing. But it is very subtle. At present it takes 23 hours 59 minutes 59.9996928 seconds to increase for many years.

As a result, 2021 will be 19 milliseconds shorter than the previous year. Scientists say that increasing the speed of the earth's rotation on its own axis is nothing new. However, the variation of time is so subtle that it cannot be brought into a single category. However, if this continues, scientists have suggested a 'negative leap second' to correct the inconsistency of time in the future.

So 1 minute is equal to 59 seconds can be counted from any one time.
