How do you measure time on a tide locked planet?

[QUOTE="russ_watters, post: 6845774, member: 142"] Greg is ok with this thread, so I'm going to try to drop out, but I'll generalize my concern: As a reader/watcher, I think I'd have a hard ...time... accepting a civilization that's too dumb to discover time but smart enough to become a civilization. Arguments about alternative means of...well....timing things are not really persuasive to me. The problem isn't whether they'd work, it's whether the beings could invent them without noticing they were inventing clocks. I'm not a sci fi writer so maybe someone could spin such a yarn and make it compelling, but so far I haven't seen one. Well, it's Earthlings who need to be convinced to buy the book. [/QUOTE]
