GMT is dead really. It was based the earth's rotation as measured by the Sun appearing overhead. UTC (universal time co-ordinated) is based on atomic time and is a sequence of accurately measured seconds, each having the same length. A bunch of radio telescopes watch the earth's rotation by looking at quasars, which are the most distant objects. When needed, a leap second is added to UTC to resync it to earth's rotation.
