So much of fundamental #science relies on being able to measure everything with precision and virtually all these measures rely on #TimeMeasurement.
The GÉANT & #NRENs community will contribute to this during the GN5-2 project by developing a pan-European fibre-based #network to support the interconnection of #OpticalClocks.
A pathfinder project between Poznan (PSNC) & Braunschweig (PTB) has already been successfully completed!

Time and Frequency Pathfinder Study – Helping Redefine Time for the 21st Century | GÉANT CONNECT Online
“I’ll be a second”, “Can I borrow you for a second?”, “Have you got a second?”. Phrases we hear many times each day but what exactly is a second? Since, well time immemorial, we have been attempting to measure time to greater and greater degrees of precision and accuracy because so much of fundamental science
Time is not an illusion. It’s an object with physical size.
Not a backdrop, an illusion or an emergent phenomenon, time has a physical size that can be measured in laboratories.
