@PeterShor Not one to shy away from
controversy, is our Dr Shor. BTW I thought the speaker was talking about the
second hand moving round the clock ("stop for a second," "instantaneous," etc) rather than the hours of the day. Re-reading my answer, I see that that isn't super clear, but I don't wanna open up a can of worms by revising and bumping it. Thanks for the nomination!
