RE: Defining time with atomic fountains

in #steemstem7 years ago

That is awesome.. in science one will continue to see new things... I never heard of such January 0 I bet instead of December 31 they called it JAN. 0 perhaps they don't want month of December complete lol. Don't know really..

Sort:  

In fact, Jan 0 = Dec 31 of the previous year. However, metrologists didn't want to have to rely on two different calendar year. So that Dec 31 has been somehow renamed.
