    Once upon a time there was Hobbes in his 'Leviathan'
    how he talked about 'madness' (or anger) and used
    arguments deriving from something like ontology
    and logic to consider its properties (even like
    'gods' such as Cicsro in 'On the Nature of the
    Gods' a lot earlier. Then he also talked about
    earlier theories involving 'demon possession'
    for similar phenomena and then later theories.

    The more you drift away from 'sanity' meaning
    'using reason' and 'using reason consistently
    throughout time' then enter into a new faith
    based upon 'fear of being condemned by the
    white priests' rather than anything resembling
    reason. You don't have to think about it anymore,
    and there really is nothing to say. Your
    nee faith has however not set you free. You
    have entered a new 'Demon Haunted World'.

    There are 'memes' that will haunt you called
    'mental diseases'. The DSM is of course thicker
    than the Bible, therefore it is better than
    the bible. You might or might not be 'DSMned',
    but you have simply found a new host of demons.
    You don't have to think about it. Faith means
    you do not have to think. 'Anti-psychiatry',
    ia just silly lunatics emitting 'word salad'.
    You don't have to think about it anymore,
    and so you won't think about it anymore.
    The whole idea that 'psychology' could be
    another 'religion' is deeply offensive.
    But you don't think about it anymore so
    you won't think about it anymore. There
    really is nothing to say, and of course
    it is the 'DSMned' people who are emitting
    the 'word salad'. But if you do not think
    about it anymore it may be you who are
    not actually using reason anymore, and
    you never really notice.

    An exaggeration, and not any person who

    The problem with Thomas and his fellow idiots
    is that while he has completely no knowledge
    of what the words like "proper", "good",
    "correct" are, how to deal with them or
    how slippery they are - he still is

    Yes, they do -

    So atomic clocks are not clocks "made for serious measurements"? :-D

    and fuck the 1960 *redefinition* of SI second.

    Before 1960, the SI second was defined as 1/86400 of a mean solar day, as
    one can read (for free!) in the (publicly available!) SI Brochure:

    <https://www.bipm.org/en/publications/si-brochure>

    That old definition has a very serious disadvantage:

    as proponent of the so called 'Growing Earth theory', I would expect the
    day to become longer over long periods of time.

    Also the solar year would get longer and we had less days per year in
    ancient times.


    As far as I know the ancient egyptians had only 360 days per year, which
    were also shorter than ours today.

    That's why a different definition, which is not based upon planet Earth
    would be a good idea.

    But the question remains, whether or not other frequencies were effected
    by the same mechanism, which makes the Earth grow, too.

    The question is, if matter could 'age' or get 'transmutated' over time
    or whether the emissions of a certain element are influenced by gravity
    or the actual size of the Earth.

    This is very hard to measure, because we would need something else,
    which is known to be stable over time and independent from time itself,
    thus provide countable events at an absolute and stable rate.

    But the existance of any such phenomenon is hard to prove, because we
    can't prove, that such a time piece measures 'absolute time'.

    *facepalm*

    ,-<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanding_Earth>
    |
    | The expanding Earth or growing Earth was a hypothesis attempting to
    | explain the position and relative movement of continents by increase in
    | the volume of Earth. With the recognition of plate tectonics in 20th
    | century, the idea has been abandoned[2][3][4][5][6] and considered a
    | pseudoscience.[7]

    [...] He wants to divide a day by an 1/86400

    The troll is even confusing whom they are trolling :-D

    The BIPM/CGPM decided that *in the 1940s* instead (as I already quoted from
    the SI Brochure).

    aka t_1 - t_0, which yet he does not have

    It worked/works like this (a summary of what I quoted, with some historical details added):

    1. You let a (pendulum) clock tick (regularly) such that it makes 86400
    ticks per mean solar day. For that you have to first determine what
    the average number of ticks per solar day (from noon today to noon the
    next day) is, and then adjust the clock such that it makes the required
    number of ticks on the longest and the shortest day. Then you define
    (it was defined so first in 1862 by the BAAS, then still based on the
    CGS system) that 1 s is the duration between two ticks of such a clock.

    Why 86400? Because it was eventually agreed on that there are 60 seconds
    per minute, 60 minutes per hour, and 24 hours per day. So 24 * 60 * 60 s
    = 86400 s. [Ancient civilizations even used a definition of the second
    (the time between two beats of their clocks, like water clocks) that was
    different: 1/3600 of a day. The people in Europe, and those that
    colonized the Americas, took the separation into multiples of 12 from the
    Ancient Greeks. Probably the Sumerians/Akkadians were the first people
    to realize that those numbers have many divisors which was of advantage.
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexagesimal>]

    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second#History_of_definition>
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seconds_pendulum#Defining_the_second>

    2. When it was found that this is too imprecise because the rotation
    period of Earth varies too much, and therefore does the mean solar day,
    for 8 years (1960-1968) the duration of a tropical year was used as
    basis of the definition of the (SI) second instead (ephemeris second).

    A tropical year has elapsed e.g. when the same constellations can be seen
    in the same place in the night sky again because Earth has completed one
    revolution; or, as we are currently approaching, the duration from one
    vernal equinox to the next one:

    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_year>

    3. When it was found that this is still too imprecise because the orbit
    of Earth also varies too much, but atomic clocks have a much better
    precision, since 1968 certain characteristics of c(a)esium (Cs)-133-based
    atomic clocks are used instead.

    As previous measurements ought not be invalidated by new definitions for a unit, more precise definitions (of the second), on a different basis, had to and have to adhere to that (AISB). The current definition is (still):

    ,-<https://www.bipm.org/en/si-base-units/second>
    |
    | The second, symbol s, is the SI unit of time. It is defined by taking the
    | fixed numerical value of the caesium frequency +o++_Cs, the unperturbed
    | ground-state hyperfine transition frequency of the caesium-133 atom, to be
    | 9 192 631 770 when expressed in the unit Hz, which is equal to s^rCo1.

    I could explain that in my own words; but why bother, as the BIPM explains
    it just below that:

    | This definition implies the exact relation +o++_Cs = 9 192 631 770 Hz.
    | Inverting this relation gives an expression for the unit second in terms
    | of the defining constant +o++_Cs:
    |
    | 1 Hz = +o++_Cs/(9 192 631 770)
    |
    | or
    |
    | 1 s = 9 192 631 770/+o++_Cs
    |
    | The effect of this definition is that the second is equal to the duration
    | of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition
    | between the two hyperfine levels of the unperturbed ground state of the
    | ^{133}Cs atom.

    Because we know the energy difference between the hyperfine levels (by calculation based on theory, and and measurement), we know (from quantum
    theory and, I suppose, measurement as well) the frequency of the radiation
    that is emitted or absorbed in that as the energy of a photon is given by

    E = raA f = raA ++,

    where h is the Planck constant and f (or ++; Greek letter small nu) is the frequency of the corresponding radiation. Then the frequency is

    rea++_Cs = f = reaE/raA.

    [I do not understand why they write rea++_Cs as it is a frequency,
    not a difference of frequencies.]

    If Cs-133 atoms pass through an electromagnetic cavity, and most of them are changed by the radiation, then the radiation has the right frequency and the clock "ticks" properly. Otherwise the frequency is adjusted until most of
    the atoms are changed. The change (of spin) results in them behaving differently in a magnetic field, and that is how they can be counted. This
    is how an Cs-133-based atomic clock works:

    <https://www.nist.gov/atomic-clocks/how-do-atomic-clocks-work>

    The video there under "Why do we use atoms to keep time?" is an excellent example of science communication. I daresay that if you have watched it
    and still do not understand the basics of how an atomic clock works, then
    there is no hope for you, and can just as well unsubscribe and disconnect -- you will be able to learn as much that way.

    I usually referred to the site below before, which is also very good and
    gives more details about how an atomic clock works; while the NIST site
    above gives more details about how atomic clocks are used.

    <https://www.timeanddate.com/time/how-do-atomic-clocks-work.html>

    interval, aka t_1 - t_0, which yet he does not have.

    The mean solar day had been determined, so had the length of the tropical year.

    [...] You at least know the history of Barlin.

    There is no "Barlin". The troll is so uneducated, they cannot even spell properly -- like "Einstine" gave lectures in "Barlin" in "Gearmon"
    *facepalm* -- or are these all deliberate misspellings as part of their trolling, to produce irritation? We will probably never know.

    Quite.

    It doesn't matter where the clock is, it will count seconds

    The duration of one orbit of a GPS SV is 43082.045250000 seconds

    and 43082.045269235 seconds measured by a clock in a GPS SV.

    The 86400 'seconds' are not proper seconds, they are

    That make them equal to a UTC-second.

    That the clock has to be adjusted down as predicted

    The frequency of all atomic clocks are derived from
    the frequency of the hyperfine transition of Cs as defined by SI,
    but it is obviously possible to adjust the rate of the clock in
    a frequency synthesiser.

    Only idiots can fail to understand that it is impossible to sync
    the rate of an atomic clock to an external clock.
    And you can't sync an external clock to the old definition of second
    because the only clock that defined the second is at a museum
    at Greenwich.

    There is but one definition of second - the SI-definition.

    Anyway, even such a disgusting piece of lying shit
    as you are can't lie non stop, so sometimes
    you're admitting that
    the frequency
    of atomic clocks not are derived from the frequency of the hyperfine
    transition of Cs as defined by SI, but are synchronised to count
    86400 seconds per mean solar day.

    That's right, that's how things are in the
    world we inhabit, common sense has been warning your
    bunch of idiots.


    The frequency of all atomic clocks are derived from
    the frequency of the hyperfine transition of Cs as defined by SI,


    A delusion. A bunch of idiots defining a shark
    as a grass eater wouldn't affect the real sharks,
    your bunch of idiots didn't affect the real
    seconds. Anyone can check GPS, they have
    9 192 631 770 periods on Earth and 9 192 631 774
    on a GPS satellite. That makes the frequency frame
    dependent - good bye, The Holiest Postulate.
    Common sense has been warning your bunch of
    idiots.

    I've told you - they've introduced postulates
    of their own, and according to their postulates
    what they did is not improper, it is OK.

    BTW, you often scream that GPS works thanks
    to corrections predicted by your bunch of
    idiots. A lie - according to your bunch
    of idiots those corrections are not proper.
    And you insist on that for absolutely no
    reasonable reason, it's just your blind
    faith in whatever your idiot guru said.
    Truly - GPS works thanks to ignoring your
    bunch of idiots screaming that what it's
    doing is not proper.
