Two good reasons: (1) Many uses in science and engineering. Mostly indirectly, you need a good frequency standard to calibrate some instrument so you can measure something. Thinks like distance, current, capacitance are based on time if you follow the chain long enough. As frequencies get lower you starting thinking of period and so now you need to know the time. There are many practical reasons but most are many levels indirect.
(2) it is a fun hobby, like building a model ship inside a glass bottle it is useless but that is the point of hobbies. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
