Oh no it is 5 seconds off we're all going to die! I can visualize some movie producer capitalizing on the 5 seconds as a bases for a nuclear melt down movie. Insert loud Klaxons and hundreds of red blinking lights

Is it minutes and seconds or arc minutes and arc seconds? I think this is to synchronize turbine shafts. You connect those m'fers when they're out of sync and there'll be pieces of your turbine sticking out of the ceiling.
