Hi Fred and all, This is great for all of us that live in the real world of time, where our day is set by the rising and setting of the sun. Yes, the sun's rotation is getting slower. So am I. Life goes on. We should not be ruled by vibrating Cesium atoms but the reality of time as told by sundials, determined by the orbit and rotation of the earth.
So be it. Amen.
