Aren't there stable astral radio signal sources detectable with ng quantum sensors; such as Rydberg antenna arrays?
How many astral signals does a receiver need to fix to determine the time of day on earth (~theta) given lat/long?
How many astral signals does a receiver need to fix to determine lat/long/altitude given the current time?
How many astral signals does a receiver need to fix to determine to infer the current time, given geometrically-impossible triangulation and trilateration solutions given the known geometry of the cosmos and the spherical shape of the earth?
There is a regular monotonic tick in quantum waves; but not a broadcast planetary time offset/reference?
>> TIL there's a regular heartbeat in the quantum foam; there's a regular monotonic heartbeat in the quantum Rydberg wave packet [photoionization] interference; and that should be useful for distributed applications with and without vector clocks and an initial time synchronization service
