What would the science of timings be called? Chronography?

Well, the study of watches is called horology. Not sure if the field encompasses the actual theory behind timing things rather than just the hardware, however.

I mean on a purely theoretical level the timings department would hold the most enduring and accurate methods of measuring a given expectation and oscillation medium, no?

If time is truly entwined in the fate of Gravity, then Gravologist sounds pretty damn cool.

Gravitist? I guess logging and observing gravity events, if sufficiently 'information rich' would easily be the information dimension of abstraction that could store all required.

True, but if gravity is just a wave, oscillation seems to be key for all encompassing time events.

Then why not just a trigonometrist?

Oscillation is measured as sin and cos, no?

Furthermore how many levels of abstraction are required for infallible precision? If binary then why not just YES my way to everything I want?

True, but that gets too abstract. Hypothetical even. Hypotenuse...

I guess we'd follow pilot wave theory, right? The initial wave that all subsequent waves took their initial waveform of stability and equilibrium from.

This is the book you want, OP. It only covers mechanical watches so nothing chemical, electrical, digital or radiation based is touched on but it uses a lot of calculus.

It was more of an improvised quote. I find the original lacking.
