Time

The SI (International System of Units) unit for time is the second and the current definition is “the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom." This is based on the cesium atomic clock which is an instrument that uses an electronic transition frequency in the microwave, optical, or ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum of atoms as a frequency standard for its timekeeping element. 

I have brought up this definition because I have a very strong feeling that it is not working properly, the cesium atomic clock. For quite some time now, ‘time’ has been passing by at a pace that is much fast/speedier than I am use to. Yes, this is a different way of saying time is flying and the purpose of saying it in this manner is to emphasize the importance of time. 

This moment, right now, it’s not coming back and the importance of making the most of it is absolutely vital, especially for us University students. The Biomedical Science final year students have been lucky enough to get an extension on the final year project. It was initially due on the 2end of April, but now is due on the 14th of April. 

If any of you final years are reading this, I urge you to make the most of this time and write as much as you can to the best of your ability. 

All first and second year students, I hope you have started your revision. If not, please get cracking. We only have about 2 months left more specifically 39 days left! 

Let’s work hard and give our absolute best. Good Luck  J
