Not as accurate as the Doomsday Clock, I’m sure...
Time is on our side.
Time is relative to space. One earth year means nothing on Betazed. Thus the minute and second are obsolete anywhere outside of earth. I'm not sure how gravit affects time, but we certainly know that speed affects time. So.... How can time measure gravity (acceleration)? And what ramifications are they suggesting this has to astronomy?

Nevertheless, whenever the power goes out, it still blinks “12:00” until you reset it. IF you remember how to reset it.
Sounds like it’s nearly time for God to change the way time is measured...again.
“This is because time in a powerful gravitational field will move more slowly than in a weaker field”
Time has physical characteristics—I have never pretended to understand relativity.
Does anybody really know what time it is?
I would think that a clock of this level of accuracy would make it possible to construct a synthetic aperture telescope with an objective diameter equal in size to the diameter of Earth’s orbit around the Sun.
Such a device might make it possible to map the surfaces of extrasolar planets.
