Even having worked on some of the timing requirements for the Square Kilometre Array Observatory with respect to software, I did not know a couple of things here… but I’m very glad I was well aware of most of the things in the talk!

But I don’t understand how that’s possible. Something to do with Planck’s constant. If anyone can explain how in 1 sentence, I’d appreciate it. #weightsandmeasures #planck #BIPM #metrology
