The 'leap second' is used ... around the world on computerized time systems because a year on our clocks is slightly shorter than the actual the time it takes the Earth to go once around the sun. Nowadays, we take most of our time signals from an atomic clock, which measures the vibrations of atoms in a metal called cesium so accurately that a one second error is nearly as ... (view more)

Adding Times in MS Excel

You can add times in MS Excel using the =SUM worksheet function. All you have to do is enter all of your times as HH:MM:SS, and then use SUM to add them. You may omit the :SS if you like.
