Pretty interesting scientific/historical stuff!

But time is relative, you know. And I don't want to start a discussion requiring references to Einstein and Hawking. Let me refer to the following quotation from the articles:
"It's going to take 3,300 years for one day of slippage," Lowe told me today. "I doubt anybody is worrying about that right now."
Here in Accra slippage works faster ... it is possible to get slippage of one day in .. one day. Like the time when the technicians coming to work on the booster for my TV connection arrived exactly on time, but 24 hours late. When I told them about it, they merely agreed that I was right...

I doubt if we would notice the loss of a day every four years in this place.
