After an anomaly in spacetime continuum, all systems using Unix time suddenly skip exactly one second.
What would be the consequences of this? Would anybody even notice?
>>54669541
no consequences
>>54669541
Every single one?
Nothing would happen.
Atomic clocks exist for a reason you fucking nigger.
>>54669541
What did you think would happen?
>>54669541
gps would maybe get fucked up a bit
>>54669541
This happens for real (clock drifts so when i sync the time, i skip a second or so). Nothing breaks.

GPS would be fucked up a lot, but would instantly get the right time from an atomic clock
>>54669541
At the next full hour the time will be re-synced with an online time service and nothing will change.

They don't know the time. They pulse per second (or 1000Hz, depending on which pin you use).
So no. It wouldn't know. You skipped exactly one second; it's still pulsing right on time.

How do atomic clocks respond to anomalies in the space-time continuum?

The thing is that the clock of the time server probably doesn't run unix, so it wouldn't be affected.
