Who, how and when decided to count to a second and was like “Yup. This is it. This is a second. This is how long a second is. Everybody on Earth will universally agree that this is how long a second is and use it regardless of culture, origin, intelligence or beliefs”?

I remember when I was little me and my cousin who was also little were staring at a clock for some reason waiting for the digital time to tick up one. And he said “ok any second now”
And I remember saying well yeah any second now, as there only seconds left in a minute. We both laughed and laughed. I feel like it was a profound thought for our age
