It’s About Time
We take it for granted every day, but the constant ticking of the clock is no small feat. Lifetimes of work went into studying the positions of the stars and timing of the seasons, information necessary to determine the rotation of the planet on its axis and around the sun. All of astronomy deals with understanding the movements of these massive heavenly bodies, and the information culled allows us to narrow our years to exactly 365.25 days, and narrow our days to exactly 86,400 seconds, all so your microwave can constantly flash 12:00.
