Talk:Millisecond

message: The relevance of including a huge list of millisecond time values has already debated so I won’t mention that again. However, assuming there is such a list, then why is "The Apollo Guidance Computer used metric units internally, with centiseconds used for time calculation and measurement." entry above the list and not bullet pointed? More particularly it isn’t even a reference to milliseconds, so what is it’s relevance to this article? (yes I know that Centisecond redirects to Millisecond, but still…) RichKBF (talk) 13:18, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

:Practical Importance and applications
:Recent experiments were one has been able to communicate with Neutrino beams will be able to save milliseconds in communication times between cities. For example calculations done by Professor Haug in an article by Bruce Dorminey shows that one would save about 44 milliseconds by using Neutrino signals (traveling at the speed of light) through earth from London to Sydney rather than sending the signal around the surface of earth with current fiber optics communication technology.
There is no source, and I'm pretty sure nutrinos can't be used for communication.  I'll delete it unless anyone can come up with a good reason for it to stay (or they delete it first). Wardog (talk) 15:38, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: That’s not entirely true. You’re using UNIX epoch timestamp values which represent an offset, so 1000 milliseconds isn’t 0:00:01 on 1 January 1970, because 1000 milliseconds is a length of time. Even if you allowed float values as a timestamp which some APIs now do, the value 1 represents 0:00:01 on 1 January 1970. 1 millisecond is a length of time, whereas UNIX timestamp are an offset from the UNIX epoch so they’re not equivalent. Your values also don’t include leap seconds if you’re considering them a length of time. When leap seconds are added, the previous timestamp value is simply repeated so a leap second day is represented by a timestamp value of 86400 seconds but in actuality has 86401 seconds. So while the dates and times above are correct if you consider the millisecond values as UNIX timestamp values, as real time elapsed (length of time since UNIX epoch as you imply) they are incorrect. Yours in jest. RichKBF (talk) 13:10, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
