Small random thought from death march

(I know it’s now death May: that’s known as deadline slippage)

Monomaniacs, even Melanie Phillips do sometimes get somethings right. Even a stopped clock must be right twice a day but possibly paranoiacs are right more often, for if their clock is not merely stopped, but goes backwards, it will be right more often than twice every 24 hours.

  1. No it isn’t because it’s not the same time in absolute chronometry. A backward going clock which says 2:55 is stating a value which was preceded by 2:54, whereas the clock which time it superficially resembles is showing a time of 2:55 whose value represents a movement from 2:54.

    Or am I being obtuse?

  2. Ambridge Vicar says:

    Damn. I mean ‘a value preceded by 2:56’.
    It’s been a long day.
