!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is defined in [RFC 3339] as A period of [time] of 60 [seconds].  


However, see also for how [Leap seconds] seconds are denoted within [minutes].

[{$pagename}] is equal to  1⁄60 (the first sexagesimal fraction) of an [hour], or 60 [seconds]. In the [UTC] [time] [standard], a minute on rare occasions has 61 seconds, a consequence of [leap seconds] (there is a provision to insert a negative leap second, which would result in a 59-second [minute], but this has never happened in more than 40 [years] under this system).
