Another way of thinking of this might be, "Everything has a direct
relationship to the revolution of the Earth"--this relationship we will call
"time", the birth/age/death cycle of life, the rise and decay of mountains,
the movement of all heavenly bodies, the radio bursts of a pulsar, the speed
of light, an object attracted by gravity, the spreading apart of the
universe, etc, etc....

Even the Big Bang which occurred billions of *years* before
"the revolution of the Earth" ever existed. :-)

Yes, we have a precise measurement of that exact moment!!! (when the Earth
began its' first revolution!!!)

Ahhh, you can tell I am joking--it took a few "revolutions" for the Earth to
form... and at that time--back then--we were actually measuring time in
"planet formings" (PF) and "birth of stars" (BOS) any way, we only switched
to the new system in the upper B.C. period of Earth. grin

Warmest regards,
John

Oh yeah, and I DO have the exact date of the big bang, you can pass it on to
the scientists for me--0 B.O.S. (Zero Birth Of Star)
Just a hair before the first star forming.... grin

It probably took more than a hair from the Big Bang until the
first hydrogen atom formed and some time from that point until
the first star ignited. And the entire universe was opaque
until Mother Nature said, "Let there be light!" :-)

Yes Cecil, I concede your point, just poking a bit of fun--I am sure your
explanation is just as possible, if not more possible...

However, back then, God was probably measuring time in "universe creations!"
If you think about it, in such a time frame "hair" may be an accurate
description... grin

But, I am not sure the big bang only left free neutrons and electrons (which
had to form atoms)--I was thinking more "whole atoms" of some type...

You left out protons. There existed a condition after the Big
Bang where everything was too hot to form "whole atoms".

Precisely 4.5 billion years ago. :-) Strange as it may seem,
there is evidence, gathered by comparing Bristlecone Pine
rings to atomic dating methods, that a second today is
shorter than a second was yesterday. Shortening the length
of a second gives a whole new meaning to the Red Shift.

Yes, but, I interpret that as, "There is yet another effect? law? force?
which we don't know about, and we have to reference as a property of time
just to begin a "mental model" of it--since we have not yet comprehended
it..." (perhaps it is "God" rolling over in his sleep? Gawd! I hope "God"
doesn't wake up yet--he is going to be PI$$ED!!!!) grin

I had the great fortune of attending a talk given by a paleontologist,
in which he noted that microgrowth rings of fossil shells do indeed show
that the day length has indeed shortened. Although he was careful not to
draw any definitive conclusions - yet - it was apparent that due to the
changes in the Earth's orbit over time were giving rise to changes in
the length of the solar day, which in turn end up changing the length of
all the units that we use to measure time.

That time occurs is not all that arguable to me. Our measurements of it
is a modifiable thing tho'.
