:The IERS has predicted that the Earth's rate of rotation will continue to be slower than one per 86,400 seconds over the next year. My guess, based on projecting the IERS prediction further into the future than one year, is that we will have a negative leap second somewhere around the end of this decade.

::Dear Sauter, please accept my thanks for you answered my message. In Vondrak filter's output it's clear that earth is decelerating in second semester 2022. It is supported by Δomega and ΔLOD graphs. In Δomega, zigzag in October-November is clear lower than in same months last year. In ΔLOD is clear higher. Both mean deceleration independent of tidal and seasonal variations, a random, unexpected, deceleration. With regards and friendship, G. Theodosiou The Straw Man.

:::Although this trend is clear to you, it is not clear to me, or to the IERS, which continues to predict that over the next year, at least, the length of the day will continue to be less than 86,400 seconds. If you have a mathematical basis for your prediction that the length of the day will increase to over 86,400 seconds enough to cause a positive leap second, perhaps you could present it here. We can then compare your predictions of the length of day with the measured values reported to the IERS. If your predictions turn out to be more accurate than the IERS predictions you will gain credibility. [[User:John Sauter|John Sauter]] ([[User talk:John Sauter|talk]]) 16:34, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
