No I meant TAI 64. It starts in 1970, at v62.0.0.0.0.0.0.0. (Not every-one starts counting at 0 or at 1... > nor am I able to find > anything useful about TAI at all, except on Dan Bernstein's pages. There's not much to tell about TAI. It just counts seconds, 60 in a minute, 3600 in an hour, 86400 in a day, 31536000 in a year (or 31622400, about once every 4 years). That's all you need to know about TAI. UT0, UT1, UTC and TT are the tricky time scales. > <wild speculation> > I'm sure there is much more useful information listed in the French version > of http://www.bipm.org. > </wild speculation> Nope.
