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.
>>
>>54671182
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?

see >>54673057

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