What is the most accurate time keeper?

Answer 1

AnswerAll digital clocks are perfectly accurate!

A strontium atomic clock developed by scientists at the University of Colorado is supposedly more than twice as accurate as the cesium atomic clock (the old "most accurate") was.

Atomic clocks are the most accurate clocks that are available to the general public. To date, the most accurate clock made is the so-called quantum logic clock, which is accurate to about one second in 3.7 billion years.

Answer 2

The mercury ion clock is currently the most accurate time base we have. But there is a new "quantum logic clock" that's in development. NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (the "new and improved" version of the old "National Bureau of Standards") has some posts. Naturally, you got links to the reader-friendly articles. Use 'em!

Answer 3

It used to be caesium type clocks that used caesium atoms to keep an accurate measure of time. More recently, physicists have been using aluminum atoms to keep an even better measure of time with more accuracy.

Atomic clocks are the most accurate clocks that are available to the general public. To date, the most accurate clock made is the so-called quantum logic clock, which is accurate to about one second in 3.7 billion years.

Answer 4

Measuring the accuracy of time is like asking how real is reality. Time cannot be inaccurate. We can measure it inaccurately (if we are sloppy) but time itself does not make mistakes. Reality operates on very reliable rules. You may not know what all the rules are but they operate nonetheless.

Answer 5

Currently, the most accurate kind of clock in the world is an atomic clock. The atomic clock, ytterbium optical lattice clock is said to be more accurate than any other clock in the world.

Answer 6

An atomic clock the most accurate time measuring device. It uses an electronic transition frequency in the optical, ultraviolet, or microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum of atoms.

Answer 7

The atom and its atomic resonance frequency standard.

Answer 8

Clock
