With the 7 cesium clocks you still don’t know which one(s) is/are exactly correct although it may be many decimal places to the right. 2. With the fact that the universe is expanding the decision of the period of the second can only be arbitrary no matter what star system is used. 3. Which leads us to the logical conclusion from the song by the group musical group Chicago: Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? 4. And the sound of one hand clapping. But it is that enjoyment of the chase, the joy of learning (which I’ve personally acquired a great deal of from this list) and the joy of achieving increasingly better personal results that keeps us striving for getting ever closer to an impossible-to-obtain exactness. :).

Re: [time-nuts] Holy cesium clock, Batman!
I am puzzled by this thread. In front of me on one side of the TV are three big ben alarm clocks. Two are quite old and one is a less than one year old Chinese knock-off. On the other side of the screen is my treasured 1960's Atmos which I think is in need of a re-charge. I am happy just as long as I see movement in that case. Behind me is a grandmother clock that I built in the 70's and which has a quite new German movement. It is off by one hour since that can be blamed on daylight savings time. None of these clocks display the correct time. I no longer bother to wear a wrist watch. I watch how complex all of your lives are and I can honestly say that I sit in retirement completely content and happy with my clocks. I suspect I am more lordly than most of you! Lee A.
