Nobody said anything about a planet. A clock should
tell you how much time has gone by. If I get a time,
sleep(1), and get another time, time 2 should be about
time1 + 1 second, regardless of leap seconds, what
planet I'm on, etc. Translating a timestamp into a
date is a separate issue from keeping track of time
itself, and should be handled separately.
