Clocks and Time

Keeping with the apparent clock theme, time is ticking:  I've got about two months left to finish the book before I hit my personal deadline.

Random food for thought:  is time actually linear?
Hmmm...

Some observations of reality assume time is perfectly linear and constant.  But our most accurate observations of time itself are based on the most accurate clocks, themselves arguably inherently imperfect (and hence not perfectly linear and constant).  And how do we know they're so accurate anyways?  I'm actually wondering now:  while making these "more-accurate" clocks for the first time, how do you test that they're more accurate if all you have are "less-accurate" clocks to test/compare them with?

Anyways, the pictures in this post are a test of drawing with superimposed lines/colouring.  The text in this post was just generated/added to surround them.  Heh.
