Sorry - I should have written a longer response - but you've put it all
straight anyway.
I wonder how long it will be before the definition of the second is changed
to use the newer types of clocks using strontium, ytterbium, mercury, or
aluminium (which I believe is the current "front runner")?
Cheers
Dave
