I'm guessing you're referring to how we actually measure time and how we use that "set" motion(be it of the pendulum for arguments' sake) to compare it against some other, unfamiliar motion so we can better grasp its nature(?).

But why do we need to measure motion like that, in the first place? It doesn't seem to me like it's the best possible way to go about it, really. But what do I know? Big Grin
