how much different is a lunar second compared to an earth second? 

 

Assuming the original definition of a second, which is a fraction of the Earth's rotation:

 

Earth's sidereal day (one complete 360 degree rotation) is 86160 seconds.

 

The Moon's sidereal day is 2352168 Earth seconds.

 

So one lunar second would be 27.3 Earth seconds.

 

But the modern definition of a second, according to the International Committee on Weights and Measures, is "the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom." In that case, one lunar second is equal to one Earth second.

 

Unless the Earth is flat ...

There's actually a "Lunar standard time," that defines a "lunar second" as 0.98 "terrestrial seconds."

 

It's pretty much bull ****, of course.  A second is a second.

Sheer lunacy.

If you do it right, the result is origasmic.

I assume I can get a Marin County resident discount?

 

As a Marin county resident you most likely can teach the class.

Is the Army Corps forcing me?

 

I may have to go all Chef Jim up the chain of command, rethink my position on the work gym class thing.

 

:P

Speaking of chain of command, didn't the previous chief executive rename the Army Corps to the Army Corpse

 

Or was that just the Marines?
