Are you sure about the letter count for 53d, Steff?  Shouldn't it be 6?

"The second is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the caesium frequency ∆ν, the unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition frequency of the caesium 133 atom, to be 9 192 631 770 when expressed in the unit Hz, which is equal to s−1."

I'll try again ( but the count is right )

53d Unit of time whose precision relies on the rhythm of caesium atoms, during which the Earth turns 15d and 1/24th of a solar day passes (4)

There's times I'm not convinced, but then I couldn't talk to you, so in that case I applaud it 🤗😘

Hi Steff,

Sorry I couldn't help out on Friday night, although the puzzle appeared on my Ipad about 12:15, I had not long returned from a five hour visit to our local A&E department, and felt too shatterred to actually boot up my desktop pc and copy & paste the clues.
