Ummm... nice looking bass?

Woah, are you all counting in leap years? The random leap seconds that have been added? Let’s not show precision that has not been attained!

With the decreasing speed of the planet's rotation and the ongoing expansion of the universe, who knows what time really is anyway.

Good catch!

Who are you playing with?

 

[J-Bass RMR]

In all those calculations, did anyone account for leap years?

No.
But it wasn't a Precision Bass....

Man, we must be bored today…eh?

Awesome!

By now I think we can all agree the OP’s error indicating the unit of measure, and there’s consensus about the right number being 1,072,965,326 +/- 1,036,800 depending where from Earth you may be reading this.

Now dear people, I think the right base number is 1,072,965,325. On September 15, 2015, scientists made the first detection of a signal from gravitational waves. The signal was the resulting ripple from a merger between two black holes that had collided 1.3 billion years ago. Beyond proving another of Einstein’s Relativity Theory’s corollaries, it also slowed down time, hence 1 second less.

If we are going to be picky, let’s be picky.

Who are you playing with?

Currently. No one. Solo bass only.

I meant in hours... Though if I want this much attention in the future I might decide to make even more errors.

That's $1,648.11 in 2021 dollars!

Canadian or American?

1,608,336,000 seconds here. Doesn't matter though. The pay for a bar band or wedding gig hasn't changed since 1,608,335,999 seconds ago.

297840 seconds ago was three and a half days ago. Perhaps you were mistaken, unless for you it’s still 1987, in which case there’s some stuff you should know.

Yeah the world is no longer as cool or as fun as it was in 1987.

First thing he should do is buy $1,000 of Apple stock.

...also, toilet paper. Lots of toilet paper.

We’ve defined our arbitrary measure of “things not all happening at the same momentness” quite precisely, thank you! See NIST and USNO.

By which you mean if we’re showing figures, let’s have them be significant, and I concur.

I think my kids sang a song about this at a recital...

( 50 years for me )

 

[2cooltoolz]

Well, I got my first guitar in 1965. My first bass was around 1973.

Still working on becoming a bassist...

Those are Canadian seconds. They use metric time up there.
