Time is measured by counting periodic physical oscillations and atomic transitions.

the verdict
COMMON KNOWLEDGE
Legacy classification; evidence review pending
Recorded sources
no sources on either side

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

The analysis

The claim is a definitional and empirical description of how modern time and the SI second are measured. It represents common scientific knowledge rather than a contested hypothesis, making formal citation unnecessary while being fully consistent with the literature on atomic clocks and frequency standards.
