Yardstick to measure time and length
Washington reports that the National Bureau of Standards in Boulder Colorado announced a breakthrough toward a single standard to measure both length and time. The effort, praised by Albert Einstein as tying time to space as the fourth dimension, promises advances in atomic physics satellite tracking and deep-space distance measurements. It also enables better laser communications and higher frequency bands for long distance links. The team measured an infrared frequency with a known wavelength to reach the highest frequency measurement yet.
