This is a extra second in the broadcast to align the Coordinated Universal Time with astronomical time. The earth's rotation is being slowed down by the tides ever so slightly, and loses a second every so many years. When the radio in the video indicated 0 hours 0 minutes, that's when Adam became 5770 years old.
