One of these days I’m going to go to the physics dept at LaSalle to get them to convince me that atomic clocks are legit. For Goodness’ sake, how in the world do you count 9.3 million oscillations of a Cesium atom in one second? I hope they do a better job then the math department chair did in explaining pi to me.

I’m a little curious about this. Atomic clocks are things which can be explained (e.g., how do they count what they need to count to make them work?).

But what is there to explain about pi? It just is.
