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.

∙ 15y agoThe 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!

∙ 11y agoMeasuring 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.
