I posted this last night with the other info but didn't pick up on
what it was SAYING;
======================
Atomic clock in space to reach new heights of accuracy (cesium);
http://www.af.mil/news/Jan1998/n19980120_980077.html
The projected accuracy of the space clock will be at least 10 times
better than the best Earth-based clocks.
The accuracy of Earth-bound cesium atomic clocks is limited by the
length of time each cesium atom can be observed -- on Earth; gravity
quickly removes the atoms from the observation region.
In the microgravity environment of space, each atom can be observed
for many seconds.
The space clock will enable researchers to make gravitational
red-shift measurements, test whether the speed of light is truly the
same in all directions, and do other relativity experiments.
=======================
This apparently means the cesium atom that is emitted is not within
the observation window long enough to detect the frequency because
gravity 'pull' it down and out of that window.
At first read, I thought it was saying that the cesium was somehow
decaying or slowing down, but that isn't the case at all. Here is
some additional information that I found most interesting;
http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/cesium.html
A "cesium(-beam) atomic clock" (or "cesium-beam frequency standard")
is a device that uses as a reference the exact frequency of the
microwave spectral line emitted by atoms of the metallic element
cesium, in particular its isotope of atomic weight 133 ("Cs-133").
The integral of frequency is time, so this frequency, 9,192,631,770
hertz (Hz = cycles/second), provides the fundamental unit of time,
which may thus be measured by cesium clocks.
A cesium clock operates by exposing cesium atoms to microwaves until
they vibrate at one of their resonant frequencies and then counting
the corresponding cycles as a measure of time.
The frequency involved is that of the energy absorbed from the
incident photons when they excite the outermost electron in a cesium
atom to jump ("transition") from a lower to a higher orbit.
According to quantum theory, atoms can only exist in certain discrete
("quantized") energy states depending on what orbits about their
nuclei are occupied by their electrons. Different transitions are
possible; those in question refer to a change in the electron and
nuclear spin ("hyperfine") energy level of the lowest set of orbits
called the "ground state."
Cesium is the best choice of atom for such a measurement because all
of its 55 electrons but the outermost are confined to orbits in stable
shells of electromagnetic force.
Thus, the outermost electron is not disturbed much by the others.
The cesium atoms are kept in a very good vacuum of about 10
trillionths of an atmosphere so that the cesium atoms are little
affected by other particles.
All this means that they radiate in a narrow spectral line whose
wavelength or frequency can be accurately determined.
In a cesium clock like these, liquid cesium is heated to a gaseous
state in an oven. A hole in the oven allows the atoms to escape at
high speed. These particles pass between two electromagnets whose
field causes the atoms to separate into two beams, depending on which
spin energy state they are in.
Those in the lower energy state pass through the ends of a U-shaped
cavity in which they are irradiated by microwaves of 3.26-cm
wavelength.
The absorption of these microwaves excite transitions of many of the
atoms from the lower to the higher energy state. The beam continues
through another pair of electromagnets, whose field again divides up
the beam. Those atoms in the higher energy state strike a hot wire,
which ionizes them.
Thereafter, a mass spectrometer selects only the cesium atoms from any
impurities and directs them onto an electron multiplier.
The frequency of the microwaves is adjusted until the electron
multiplier output current is maximized, constituting the measurement
of the atoms' resonance frequency.
This frequency is elctronically divided down and used in a feedback
control circuit ("servo-loop") to keep a quartz crystal oscillator
locked to a frequency of 5 megahertz (MHz), which is the actual output
of the clock, along with a one-pulse-per-second signal. The entire
apparatus is shielded from external magnetic fields.
The first method for accurately measuring hyperfine frequencies by
molecular beam resonance was developed by I.I. Rabi and his associates
in 1937 at Columbia University.
The first MOLECULAR clock, using ammonia gas, was built by H. Lyons at
the National Bureau of Standards in the late 1940's.
In 1955, the first ATOMIC clock, a cesium standard, was constructed by
L. Essen and J.V.L. Parry at the National Physical Laboratory,
England. It was later refined by others, notably N.F. Ramsey and J.R.
Zacharias.
==========================
Something that was discussed on the old KeelyNet BBS discussion arena
was about the possibility of some universal clocking field.
The question came about when someone asked if an atom on one side of
the earth will vibrate at the same frequency and the same PHASE with
an identical atom on the other side of the planet.
If they did, it would indicate some global energy field that clocked
all elements and matter.
Would an atom of cesium on earth have the same frequency and phase to
be truly resonant, with another atom of cesium on Mars, or one on Pluto?
If that is the case, then all elements would be resonantly coupled, no
matter how weakly with like elements no matter where they existed in
the universe.
That would mean that if you could determine the complex frequencies
that make up the unique 'signature' of a give mass, you could
communicate with that mass by broadcasting an identical signature.
I haven't seen anything to dispute it, but IMO, the 'rate of time'
would I think be faster on larger planets because of the greater flow
of aether/zpe manifesting as 'gravity'. That SHOULD mean that cesium
and other atoms would also have different frequencies relative to
their environment.
Without FTL (faster than light) communication we couldn't really know,
though a correction factor could be added to compensate for the
communication lag.
If anyone finds anything further about such anomalies, please share it
with the list or with me at jdecker@keelynet.com . Because we are
soon to change to another ISP, you might want to reference the

to find the current address...mine and Chuck Hendersons will soon no
longer be at keelynet.com. I'll explain in another email so people
will know what is happening....
