Diurnal Variation of Earth's Rotation

On this point, we would also notice these time changes in our earth clocks since they are in the elysium and are influence by its density right?

Also, would a clock based on gravity (can it be done?) settle the matter for good? - MV

Yes.

Yes. If we could detect gravity peaks and nulls from, say, a binary pulsar, we'd have a near-instantaneous "gravity clock". -|Tom|-

Can a mathmatical comparison between EM clock observed time and true time be made? -MV

Easily, if we had a gravity clock. -|Tom|-

How troublesome would making the comparisons with binary pulsars be? Can we make a gravity clock now? If not is the problem conceptional or equipmental in nature? -MV

We have no present ability to detect gravity from any source over such huge distances. Our best bet in the solar system might be Mercury, with a single "tick" 44 days long. Lab experiments still look like our best practical bet for the foreseeable future. -|Tom|-
