Further timekeeping FACT

Efforts are ongoing to make a more accurate atomic clock by using strontium which resonates at 429,228,004,229,952 time per second. Should they ever sort out how to shield the bugger from electromagnatic influences I'd expect the official measurement for one second to be updated to the length of time it takes an atom of strontium to resonate 429,228,004,229,952 times.
