Inhoud:

Physicists wanted to dispense with astronomical time and define the second in terms of the fundamental properties of atoms. The revolution began in 1955 and was complete by 1967 when the atomic second ousted the astronomical second as the international unit of time. This book tells the story of this revolution.
