reliably measure time between to points, they would need a uniform,
continuous standard such as TAI.
TAI can be implemented using the defined relation:
TAI = UTC + 10s + Announced leap seconds since 1972 (Published here:

UTC ticks SI seconds in step with TAI (International Atomic Time), but
in order to keep in sync with UT1 which is defined by the earth's
rotation, UTC is occasionally adjusted. In other words, in order to keep
