What is "chronometric"

Usage examples of "chronometric".

Basic theory, however, suggests that a level of radiation this high and this steady is more likely the result of an earlier disruption so great that the timestream was rendered incapable of stabilizing itself and therefore continues to generate high levels of chronometric radiation.

In theory, the level of chronometric radiation could be considered analogous to the ripples generated when a rock is thrown into a river.

Data, keep me informed of any changes in the level of chronometric radiation.

It was less than a parsec from the route the original Enterprise had been following when it had been diverted to investigate the “ripples in time,” distortions that would most likely register on the new Enterprise’s more advanced sensors as chronometric radiation.

Increased chronometric radiation was, according to unproven theory, indicative of increased instability.

That done, I leaned over and, in the gloom, made out the four chronometric dials which counted the passage of the machine through History's static array of days.

I reached out, groping, for the control levers, and my feverish brain began to concoct schemes wherein I broke off the glass of the chronometric dials, and by touch, perhaps, worked my way home.

In the dark of my own shadow, I reached out and found the chronometric dials with my probing fingertips—one glass had shattered, but the dial itself seemed in working order—and the two white levers with which I could bring myself home.

At last I brought myself to look at my chronometric dials, and I found that the hands were sweeping, with immense rapidity, further into futurity.

I found that although the hands made up a conventional clock face—the device also featured several little chronometric dials.

It is a chronometric clock, but it shows years and months—over-engineering, Moses.

But the controls were by some distance advanced over the limited mechanisms Nebogipfel had been able to manufacture with the materials available in the Palaeocene—they even included simple chronometric dials, albeit hand-lettered—and we would have about as much freedom of movement in time as I had been afforded by my own first machine.

The brass rods glittered—I saw there was a sprinkling of dust over the faces of the chronometric dials, whose hands whirled about and I recognized the green glow of Plattnerite which suffused the doped quartz of the infrastructure.

The chronometric dials rattled to a stop: it was Day 292,495,940—the precise day, in the Year A.

One Starfleet deep-space-exploration ship, the Equulus, had harvested chronometric particles from a temporal vortex nearly seventy years ago.
