How do we get those times?  What is the fundamental basis for the
second?
An average sort of thing, time, so far as clocks go.
The fundamental basis is based upon the position of stars as seen by us
on our planet.
When there is a complete match, about one year, well we have got a
reliable event-interval.
The rest is division and manipulation of the calendar.

Woof-woof, what fools these E=MCC thumping-chanting bipeds be!
