But if the original calculation of number of cycles for a second was wrong everything is wrong now anyway? :(
It's not calculated, it's defined. The second *is* that number of oscillations of whichever atom it is, and the metre *is* the length that makes the speed of light the defined number. (I can't be bothered to look up either definition, but they're there.) -- Clive D.W. Feather | If you lie to the compiler, Email: clive@davros.org | it will get its revenge.
