The Standardization of Time
The definition of time has evolved from Earth's rotation to cesium radiation and, in the future, to optical lattice clocks. Portugal, lacking an active Legal Time authority since 2019, illustrates the irony of a country where time exists with more uncertainty than elsewhere.
