"The problem is that Python returns time as a floatting point number > which is usually a 64-bit binary floatting number (in the IEEE 754 > format). This type starts to loose nanoseconds after 104 days." > > Do we realize that at this level of accuracy, relativistic time dilatation due to continental drift starts to matter?
