Time (physics): Who started counting our current time or is it just "set" by some scientific measure?

No. 1 is given by International Atomic Time (TAI). It is a weighted average of the time given by atomic clocks around the world.

We’d like a uniform scale, so that every second has the same duration of any other second.

Originally, a second was defined as 1/86,400th of a mean solar day. I think it was based on Jan 1, 1948. It is now defined as some huge number of certain transitions in Cesium and stuff, which I assume was pretty close to that “original” second.

Now we have to mix the two.

The basis for civil time is UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). The spelling of the abbreviation is explained in the 2nd reference below.

We have two competing needs for civil time

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

Civil time, UTC, Coordinated Universal time, is ultimately based on UT, Universal Time. UT is based on the rotation of the earth relative to the sun.

But seconds in UTC are based on the SI definition using atomic clocks. But the earth is slowing down, and being slower than before means that leap seconds needed to be added to UTC from time to time to allow the earth to catch up. (UTC runs at the same rate as TAI, which is based on atomic clocks around the world.)

Civil time is based on the mean solar day. Because of the tilt of the earth (relative to the plane of its orbit) and the fact that the earth’s orbit is an ellipse, not a circle, meaning it moves a little faster when it is closer to the sun. It’s pretty close to a circle, though. The result is the analemma, which is the figure-8 you see on some globes. If you mounted a camera and took a picture of the sun at the same civil time every day, or every week over an entire year, without ever moving the camera, you will get a figure-8 curve called the analemma. This means the sun can be as much as 16 min. early or late compare to the mean sun. So we go by what’s called mean solar time, which is the average, or mean, of the local solar time over a period of a year. Why? Because we live our lives by when it’s day and when it’s night, and we don’t want seconds and minutes and hours to “stretch and shrink” or have noon slide back and forth to follow the analemma. The local mean sun is on the merdian at 12:00 local mean solar time.

We need to stay in sync with the sun

UTC is a certain number of seconds behind TAI. It was decided to keep UTC within 0.9 seconds of UT1. This is done using leap seconds as needed. The reason for leap seconds is that the earth is turning slower on average than in the past. This is due to tidal friction. The Moon and Sun make tides, which slow down the earth. So instead of 86,400 seconds in a day, there are 86,400 plus a tiny bit more seconds in a day. Eventually that builds up to about a second, and a leap second is introduced at some point as needed. Some committee somewhere decides, I think.

Time is a very complex issue, and you’re question is kinda on the vague side.

Unfortunately, Wikipedia articles vary greatly in quality. The article on TT is definitely confusing. The ones here could be rewritten to be in a better order, just like mine! But I have only so much time and am only 1 person.

So we define Coordinated Universal Time (aka UTC). This is given by TAI plus an offset. But we need occasional leap seconds.

My wife found I had been on Pornhub. She considers this adultery and wants a divorce. She hasn't touched me in over 6 years. What should I do?

First of all, there are many time scales: terrestrial time (TT), the successor to ephemeris time. Local solar time. Mean solar time. Universal time (abbreviated UT or sometimes UT1), UT0, UT2, daylight saving time. GMT, which has 3 meanings! (1) The mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in the UK, (2) UT1, or most commonly, (3) UTC. Thus the term GMT should be phased out, but is still in use by a lot of people.

No. 2 is accomplished by defining Universal Time (aka UT, aka UT1). Unfortunately, this time does not pass in a uniform manner. Because of two causes: (1) the tilt of the earth relative to the plane of the earth’s orbit, and (2) the non-uniform speed of the earth as it goes around the sun. The result is that the sun can be as much as 15 min. early or late compared to the “mean sun”, which is based on the average rate of the time given by the actual position of the sun. Universal Time is then the mean solar time at 0 deg. longitude.

I can say civil time (aka UTC) is ultimately is based on Universal Time (aka UT1), which is based on the rotation of the earth relative to the sun. But we use atomic clocks. Since the earth is rotating slower then earlier, we have to add leap seconds from time to time to allow the earth (UT) to catch up to UTC. Adding a leap second basically “pauses” for 1 second.

But on a much smaller scale, UT1 fluctuates in speed just a tisk due to large mass movements, like cold and warm air, mass distirubtion changes due to ocean currents, and even earthquakes. While these changes have a very small effect, it’s not too small to cause problems. And in the long run, the earth’s rotation is slowing down due to tidal friction, we use leap seconds as needed to allow the earth (UT) to catch up so UTC stays within 0.9 seconds of UT. We need a uniform time scale. This given by a weighted average of atomic clocks around the world. The result is International Atomic Time (TAI).

The earths’s rotation is slowing down due to tidal forces. The Sun and the Moon create the tides, which involves dragging water from the sides of the earth to the near and far side of the earth, which, through friction, slows down the rotation of the earth. So this means the earth’s rotation has slowed down since 1948. So UT is therefore based on longer seconds. Thus, UTC must be paused every now and then to allow the Earth, and hence UT, to catch up. It was decided that a leap second would be added or subtracted as often as twice a year to accomplish this pause. Not surprisingly, a negative leap second was never needed.
