Yes, the math works out. Whether it actually has physical meaning is kind of a philosophical question, but it's a useful tool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_time#Examples_in_special_relativity is an example worth looking at. On Sun, Jul 10, 2016 at 12:01 PM, Chris Albertson

[time-nuts] Jupiter-T Pico timing receiver

2016-07-14 Thread Mark Sims
I got in a Jupiter-T Pico timing receiver (from the good folks at RDR Electronics). These are pulls from something made by Lucent. It is a tiny 12 channel timing receiver with an even tinier (0.5mm pitch) 2x10 pin connector. RDR ships them with a mating connector and an antenna pigtail with
