633:*agreement* to eliminate the leap-second "by 2035" is completely missing!! Is this the "same" as the non-conference of 2023 that was cited? (several times.) Who ever is editing this either needs to do their due duty or step aside. By the way, I understand some of the issues involved in the loosening the coupling of atomic to orbital times (is there enough discussion here about the difference between the (fictitious) point through which the Earth passes to start another year and the (fictitious) point at which (supposedly) all points on the Earth (tectonics aside) "match" their cosmological orientation of previous year? Just a digression.) but it would be useful to understand or at least see a discussion about WHY people don't want the change AND why people DO want the change - both politically and technically. That's sorely lacking -it's called being objective. 433: 487: 466: 1632:
functional replacement of GMT because it tracked UT2, which was similar to UT1 and gave the Earth's orientation as accurately as most users could take advantage of. TAI served the duration role and was used in comparisons between time laboratories. Since 1972 UTC has leap seconds, which makes it more of a compromise: it's good enough for civil time keeping, and can be used for Earth orientation or durations after the appropriate adjustments are made.
311: 252: 580: 555: 391: 222: 424: 1346:
because the two standards have remained linked by the leap second. But GMT is by definition based on earth time. If the leap second disappears and official time diverges from earth time, GMT will be a relic, an historical curiosity--like the Greenwich Observatory itself, which is now a privately owned museum rather than a working national scientific center.

as "however" or "nonetheless". That is, I would like to make a clear separation between the claim that UTC is the successor of GMT, and statements about TAI and UT1 filling part of the gap left by GMT. Note that TAI and UT1 both predate the introduction of UTC, so they cannot be its successor in any normal sense.
1483:
None of those quotes mention TAI or UT1. I'm fine with UTC being "the" successor to GMT; but you seem to be going through gyrations to keep your reference to UT1 and TAI somehow involved in the GMT succession. "However" and "Nonetheless" are more-or-less synonyms; but "however" isn't the problem. The

As a Brit, I'm embarrassed by the BBC's insistence on declaring the time using GMT, and idiosyncratically at that: e.g. "Four Gee Emm Tee" (with the letters pronounced emphatically and smugly). It's imperialistic jingoism; and stupid, because GMT has never been well-defined, and is now not defined at
1029:
TAI and UT1 are mentioned here in a context that suggests they are "effective successors" to GMT. But the language is weak, and lends itself to misinterpretation. "effective successor" is ill-defined, and "complemented by" suggests that UT1 and TAI are also "effective successors", which is misleading
1549:
I respectfully disagree. There is a clear separation indicated by a full stop. "Nonetheless" is an adverb, not a conjunction; it introduces a statement that qualifies the preceding one. The proposed phrasing clearly distinguishes the roles of other standards such as UT1 and TAI without implying they
1516:
All that the second sentence is conveying that while UTC has become the standard replacing GMT in most contexts, there are still applications where other time standards are crucial. The two sentences allow readers unfamiliar with this topic to better understand the role of UTC. I don't think we need
993:
That sentence suffered from over-editing. The "regional" was more about GMT still being used as a term in the UK and several other contexts, but that got tangled up with the more important part about other successors. The "industry-specific" was referring broadly to other standards such as UT1, TAI,
714:
The ITU felt it was best to designate a single abbreviation for use in all languages in order to minimize confusion. For example, in English the abbreviation for coordinated universal time would be CUT, while in French the abbreviation for "temps universel coordonné" would be TUC. To avoid appearing
1534:
OK, so it's arguably fine to mention in the article that TAI and UT1 have subsumed some of the functionality previously served by GMT. I'm objecting to that mention being part of a specific claim about the successor to GMT, whether as a single sentence, or two sentences joined by a conjunction such
1501:
UT1 is a successor to GMT because before the variability of the rotation of the Earth was understood well enough to measure it, GMT was the only timescale available, so it was used in applications where the actual orientation of the Earth was needed, such as navigation and pointing telescopes. Now,

The U.S. victory would in turn officially and finally spell the end of the last vestige of empire for the United Kingdom, which still retains its beloved GMT as the official time standard even as most of the world has anointed UTC. Until now the distinction between the two has been merely semantic,

A time standard established for British navigation in the mid-19th century. GMT has now been officially replaced by coordinated universal time, so Big Ben, the BT speaking clock and the BBC radio pips all mark UTC, not GMT as some people think -although the two are usually very close. British law

There, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) collects and averages time to produce International Atomic Time, which gives us Coordinated Universal Time. UTC, as its known, is the time; the global standard and successor to Greenwich Mean Time. If you want to know the real time in

The Future section reeks of non-objective content. For instance, it is claimed that the proposed 2001 change is "drastic". I'm sure someone will argue that a yotto-second difference is "huge", but no reasonable person would find 6-7 hrs over 2600 years to be "drastic", imho. Worse yet, the 2022

MrDemeanor wrote "note that TAI and UT1 both predate the introduction of UTC, so they cannot be its successor in any normal sense." But we're not saying TAI and UT1 are successors of UTC, we're saying they're successors of GMT which satisfy the traditional roles of GMT. Originally, UTC was the
860:, as the CCIR are, apparently, the organization that adopted the English name "Coordinated Universal Time", the French name "Temps Universel Coordonne", and the term "UTC", which is an abbreviation of neither of them, and the ITU-R is the successor to that organization. See the reference from 1173:
The primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time is UTC. It is a 24-h time standard that uses highly precise atomic clocks combined with the Earth's rotation. Timing centers around the globe agreed to keep their time scales synchronized or coordinate and hence, the name

I revised the article. It seems like everyone agrees the phrasing in the article was not ideal. I'm going to add a source as well, but I want to review the above citations to see if I can cover both sentences with a single citation rather than requiring multiple citations.
1174:
coordinated universal time. It is the successor of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The UTC was defined by the International Radio Consultative Committee (CCIR), a predecessor organization of the ITU-TS, and is maintained by the Bureau International des Poids et Measures (BIPM).
1094:
I think leaving in "effective" is appropriate because it highlights the practical transition from GMT to UTC without necessarily implying a formal or official succession. I'm open to removing it if there's broader support for that, though. It's certainly easily sourced.
1079:
Re. the second proposed sentence: UT1 and TAI do "play a vital role", but not as "effective successors" to GMT. The "however" suggests that the vital role they play is related to UTCs role as the successor to GMT, which isn't true. So just drop the second sentence.
720:
So according to the source, English and French are just examples of possible language issues. One would have to dig through the literature of the International Telecommunications Union in the 1960s to find what proposals were actually made.
1033:
It's perfectly reasonable to note that GMT was retired (except by the **** Brits) when UTC was introduced; but that sentence is all over the place. I'm afraid I don't have a better sentence to propose, so for now I think it's best to scrap
1649:
I'm OK with @Daniel's latest edit; I think it's now pretty clear. I still think the attempt to wedge UT1 and TAI into a paragraph about the successor to GMT is strained and unnecessary; but it's no longer susceptible to misinterpretation.
1055:
It is the effective successor to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in everyday usage and common applications. However, in specialized domains such as scientific research, navigation, and timekeeping, other standards like UT1 and TAI play a vital
1502:
in those applications, UT1 is used as a replacement for GMT. GMT was also used in applications where the durations needed to be found by subtracting a start time from an end time. TAI is more suitable for that purpose than UTC or UT1.

The name of the page ought to be the name of the concept, which is "Coordinated Universal Time", whether you think that name appropriate. Again, get the ITU-R to change the name, and Knowledge will change the page name to match.

The pips are no longer broadcast from Greenwich, but from the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, Surrey, which uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) - the successor of GMT - for its reading.

Thanks for the review. I think more definitely needs to be added to the history section regarding the transition to and adoption of UTC, but one thing at a time.
1484:
problem is that TAI and UT1 are in no way successors to GMT. You seem to want to say that they are, without directly saying that they are (because they are not).
1724: 971:. The claim that there are regional successors is not supported by a reliable source that I can see, and I don't know what time scales are being referred to. 1059:
I don't know whether this rephrasing helps alleviate the original concern so I will still come back with more on the "the effective" assertion later today.
437: 965:. Clearly UTC is the most widely used successor to GMT. But other successors serve critical roles in science, navigation, and timekeeping, especially UT1. 652: 90: 1038:
