You can't determine which clock is more accurate.

A clock's accuracy is determined by how well it's able to reproduce
standard time intervals (e.g. calendar years, solar days, SI
nanoseconds), and the accuracy of a particular type of clock is
determined by the variability in the measurements of a collection of
clocks of that type* (as you said during that fleeting bout of

rationality).

Hey idiot......a standard time interval is a definition for a time

interval


for a certain type of clock....eg a solar day is using the earth's

rotation


as a clock. So what you said is not a way to determine the accuracy of

a

clock. <shrug>

* There will always be some variability - no two clocks can perform
identically except to some limited precision over some limited time

frame.


You can define that the



clock that can record the smallest time interval is more accurate.

Sure you can, but then you'd be the only one using that definition.


The standard for a clock second based on the cesium clock is using my
definition.

Yet another entry in that long list of terms whose Seto-definitions
differ from their standard definitions. Does Seto-land have its own way
of defining the accuracy of other measuring devices too? E.g., what
makes a meter-stick accurate in Seto-land?


Hey idiot.....there is no difference in my definition with the current
definition. In fact it is you who don't know what the current definition

for

an accurate clock is. This is demonstrate by your definition for a

standard

time interval. <shrug>


Try finding someplace (other than Seto-land) where it's indicated that
the accuracy of a clock is determined by the size of the smallest time
interval it records.


Hey idiot......accuracy is not determined.

If you can only support your claims by repeating them, the only one you're going to convince is yourself.

We currently define that the
atomic clock is the most accurate clock.

Try to pay attention, Seto. Although that claim is wrong as well, it's not the one you were asked to support.


And again, what's the Seto-definition for meter-stick accuracy?


Also the accuracy of a meter stick is not determined. It is defined by a
metal bar in Paris.

Earth to Seto: the meter hasn't been defined by a metal bar in Paris for more than 20 years.

Apparently in Seto-land, once the standard meter has been defined, every instrument that's called a meter-stick must necessarily be exactly one meter in length. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way outside of Seto-land. Out here, we have to be concerned with how closely our measuring instruments match our standards (i.e. how accurate they are).

BTW why are you asking my for the accuracy of a clock
and meter stick???????????????.

Because your answers are so amusing. :)
