== Slower by a negative amount? ==
In the History section, shortly after "rubber second": The phrase "slower than the rate of atomic time by −150 parts per 10 (raised to the tenth)" is confusing. Is that dash a "minus sign/negative sign"?
If so: Doesn't ''slower by a negative amount'' mean ''faster''? If "slower" is kept, I suggest removing the negative signs from the various phrases in this section. [[User:David10244|David10244]] ([[User talk:David10244|talk]]) 05:32, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
