[SBE] Timekeeping Standard [was RE: UTC Time Standard]

You would have to use advance sync for metric time, or English time, or any 
other becuase we never know what time it is, only what time it was at our last 
observation. Thus the expression "at the beep the time will be" vs "The time 
is" Because as soon as the instant of time occurs it has already pased before 
we determine what time it was from observation.  When you consider time 
dilation and other variations, it is actually quite difficult to determine what time 
it is precisely. It is indivisible to a rational fraction since the last 
integer is never expressed in an infinite string.  Time zero, (now) never exists 
because as soon as it does exist, it is passed. Now could be described as the 
point when a parabolic curve intercepts a hyperbolic curve~ at infinity. And 
while infinity large can be expressed, infinity small cannot since since it never 
exists. 

The root of why time zero canot exist explains why we have so many round 
toit's. since we can never get around to it now, as now has already past. 

This then presents the paradox of trying to get ahead of time. Time does not 
have a velocity, and any velocity dilates time (Theory of general relativity) 
Thus it is impossible to ever get ahead of time because any velocity puts us 
behind time. Only a negative velocity would place us ahead of time, but again 
is a paradox since any velocity is expressed in time units and time does not 
allow negative factors, nor positive factors, only zero velocity. Thus time has 
no velocity and thus nothing happens only at zero time, since there is no 
interval for an event to express. 

Achieving time zero is much as achieving absolute zero, a state of sero 
energy and motion. While we can obtain near absolute sero, in terms of millions of 
a e value, we can never stop all motion because there is always some residual 
temperture energy, if from nothing else than the energy used to observe the 
event. So absolute zero cannot exist in an observeable form, only the residue of 
absolute zero. Similar to determining the field density of a radio wave at 
infinity on a sphere. It is simply diluted to some tiny but finite value.  But 
using the value of the field at infinity we can calculate the energy at the 
point of origin.  

So no matter how accurate we believe our clock to be, it is always a little 
off from real time. And with that, we gain the value of time off.  Bye for now.
