LYRICS
Wait a second?
I can’t wait a second
’cause I reckon
The Earth is slowing down
It’s been found
The Earth is slowing down
From going ’round
Leap a second
And before long
A second second
Thus this song
The Earth is slowing down
It’s been found
The Earth is slowing down
From going ’round
The spinoff of taking a spin off
You scoff?
Well, do you wanna get off?
’cause
The Earth is slowing down
It’s been found
The Earth is slowing down
From going ’round
It’s that mean solar time
Or UT1
Try to coordinate Universal time
Or UTC
And I for one can see
You won’t even give away
The time of day
No way
The Earth is slowing down
It’s been found
The Earth is slowing down
From going ’round
Time Traval (aka LeapSecond).mp3

This song is about the Earth slowing down. Why is the Earth slowing down?
The Earth is slowing down and speeding up for many reasons. In general, the Earth is slowing down it’s rotation due to friction. The wind and the oceans and mountains, tides and gravity cause friction that slows an object in motion.
A leap second is a one-second adjustment that is occasionally applied to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in order to keep its time of day close to the mean solar time, or UT1. Without such a correction, time reckoned by Earth’s rotation drifts away from atomic time because of irregularities in the Earth’s rate of rotation. Since this system of correction was implemented in 1972, 27 leap seconds have been inserted, the most recent on December 31, 2016 at 23:59:60 UTC.
So, every once in a while humans travel a second forward in time. “Specifically, a positive leap second is inserted between second 23:59:59 of a chosen UTC calendar date (the last day of a month, usually June 30 or December 31) and second 00:00:00 of the following date.”
Why is the moon falling farther away from us?
The migration of the Moon away from the Earth is mainly due to the action of the Earth’s tides. The Moon is kept in orbit by the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on it, but the Moon also exerts a gravitational force on our planet and this causes the movement of the Earth’s oceans to form a tidal bulge.

LYRICS
Duel black holes orbiting
Behavior that is fitting
Einstein wasn’t kidding
Mighty brave…
Surfing a gravitational wave
It will begin
To pull you in
Spacetime has-been
Sucking in light
Black as the night
Density’s might

“A binary black hole (BBH) is a system consisting of two black holes in close orbit around each other.”
“Scientists announced that they have once again detected ripples in space and time from two black holes colliding far away in the universe.” The discovery comes just months after the first-ever detection of such “gravitational waves.”

LYRICS
When are they gonna set the bail
It’s been too long within
Why is there even a trial
When I’ve done nothin’
The hypocrite throws a fit
That’s it just quit
Ya know I’d love to set sail
It’s time that they let me out
The real crime’s puttin’ me in jail
It’s enough to make a sane man shout
The hypocrite comes equipped
For your wings to be clipped
Into my coffin the final nail
No! Surely, I’ll be set free
Or to the hypocrite must I hail?
What happened to our democracy
