Does anybody really know what time it is? Beyond the broad question of the meaning of time, a new problem with its definition is facing the scientific community. Atomic clocks at the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) specify the legal and technical standard for the second. Yet, every few years, scientists must "correct" this definition because a second is also a fraction of the time it takes for the earth to rotate once on its axis. Because we can so precisely measure time and the Earth's position, we know that this rotation is slowing down due to the influence of the moon, global displacements, and other factors. http://email.ednmag.com/cgi-bin2/DM/y/eoAI0Ejge60Gcq0Ccga0Eg&rid=1353869730 ** If you found this FREE newsletter valuable, please email it to a colleague!
