About Seconds
The second (s) is the SI base unit of time, defined since 1967 as exactly 9,192,631,770 periods of the caesium-133 ground-state hyperfine transition at 0 K. Caesium fountain clocks realise this to ~10⁻¹⁶ (1 s lost per ~300 million years); optical lattice clocks (Sr, Yb) reach ~10⁻¹⁸. The second links to the metre via the defined speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s exactly. 1 s = 1,000 ms = 1/60 min.
About Olympiads
An Olympiad = exactly 4 Gregorian years = 1,461 days = 126,227,808 s. In ancient Greece it was the standard historical dating system counting from the first Olympic Games at Olympia in 776 BCE; adopted by Hellenistic historians (Polybius, Timaeus). Modern Olympiads are numbered from Athens 1896. The 4-year cycle is mirrored in US presidential elections and EU Parliamentary terms. 1 Ol = 4 yr = 126,227,808 s.
