Yes, clown. Anyone anywhere can come up with a new unit of time and
repaint a clock face/change its gears if they want. That even the US
uses the second doesn't change the fact that the second is only a unit
of time not time itself, just like the kilogram is only a unit of mass,
not mass itself,

Exactly! Newtonian universal time doesn't work! The GPS prototype's
first 20 days running assuming Newtonian universal time didn't work as
its signal received on earth didn't match one using a divisor of
9,192,631,770! So they had to use Einstein mode with a divisor of
9,192,631,774.1 for it to be received at 9,192,631,770!

Clocks only measure the time coordinate. They generate nothing other
than some of them generate tick-tick-tick sounds.

No, you are a crank pretending to be a professional. And doing a poor
job at it.

Why do you believe seconds to very slightly different seconds is
significant?

Yet you are hung up on seconds to very slightly different seconds.

If you think there's a difference, then you must agree with the basics
of GR but you don't quite get it. At least you believe the basics of GR!
Regardless, the second at the GPS clock is still 9,192,631,770 Cs cycle
times. The 9,192,631,774.1 timer is so it matches on earth's surface.

Very good! But locally.

No such thing.

So you do believe in GR but don't quite get it right.

Because that wobbly rock is just too wobbly. These days much science
needs a more stable time base than wobbly rock time. The whole reason
for switching to a Cs timebase for the second definition in the first place!

They are *exactly* the same. "TAI second" *IS* the ISO second, and is
based on a network of Cs clocks.

But they do keep synch, which is why it's based on the Cs clock network
in the first place.
