"I am not sure what I am doing yet so no, I don't think so," Edward said as he nodded at what he had displayed. "It sounds like a simple thing, find a way to observe time, but it is not so easy to do. As evidenced by the fact that humanity's first attempt most definitely doesn't measure time, just the mental construct we hold as being time. I mean, while there is a scientific basis for how we count days, that was local to our planet. It wouldn't translate the same system to another planet the length of a day would change entirely. And that works for every segment of time. Yet we can accurately measure say, temperature anywhere because that is constant. Even if the units we use to measure it are based on this planet."
