Editor’s note: The Sabanna Creek
Philospiier on his Johnson grass
farm on Route 2 has discovered 1967
is here.
Dear editor:
I was hanging a new 1987 calendar
on the wall and got to thinking about
an article I read the other day about
time.
According to it, a university
physicist has discovered a neutron
star about 12,000 light years out in
space that may be the most accurate
clock in the universe. It rotates on
its axis 642 times a second and
provides a rate of rotation that is
more accurate than the atomic
clocks used to keep time on earth.
The professor considers this good
news because the atomic clocks now
in use aren’t completely reliable.
You set two of them at the same time
and they’ll begin to deviate from
each other within two years.
Now I suppose some people are on
such a tight schedule they need a
clock that won’t lose a fraction of a
second in two years, but you can look
in waiting rooms of airlines and
doctors to know they aren’t in that
category. Neither are lawyers.
I guess that professor has been
late for class because he’s been
