Excellent. Now I'll be even more exactly later for everything.

Art Bell's atomic clock stopped last week. It might be an omen.

What will this do to the clock used and displayed yearly by the Atomic Scientists counting down to the end of humanity?

I guess that explains why I found an atomic clock for $19.99 at Target. It is handy, however, to have a wall clock that sets itself.

basic units of length are defined by how far light travels in various time periods. ® Other than the light-year, to what does this apply?

They might as well be using a Greek clock since that's what it sounds like anyhow.
My Timex is just fine for my purposes. Glad they have it worked out though for theirs and whatever in theirs makes things that touch my life go 'round.

How does one cool something to 'near absolute zero' with a laser?

So will they update these as well?
Strontium Ion Fire Balls?

Those aren't really atomic clocks. They are just clocks with radio receivers. That's a relief. I've been wondering what would happen if the nuclear reactor ever exploded on my wrist.

If it is zero degrees and it gets twice as cold, how cold is it?

Other than the light-year, to what does this apply?Well, a light-nanosecond is about one foot.

Just as long as the Livermore Light does not burn out, all is right with the world.
Burning since 1901 and if it has dimmed I haven't heard about it yet.
