Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?

Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?

Scientists announced this week that they have created the most advanced clock in the world. The clock, described this week in the journal Nature, is so precise that it would neither lose nor gain one second in about 5 billion years of continuous operation.

Better atomic clocks will facilitate more precise GPS and faster telecommunication networks. And some physicists are excited about another application: testing Einstein's Theory of Relativity. "Today many scientists believe that the theory of relativity is incompatible with other physical theories," Ludlow says.

This is ridiculous. What omniscient standard of time do these scientists have that they could use to compare such a clock to? Is there a mathematical formula that takes the precise length of a day and chops it up? How do we know with that level of precision what a 'second' is? I would think that if we made a clock as accurate as the one described above, then that clock itself should serve as the new standard.
