Does it adjust for the tidal forces that are constantly slowing the rotation of the earth?

Does it set itself back in the fall and ahead in the spring though?

The only Achilles heel to this clock is its components won’t last 5 Billion years.

That’ll be my next watch which will be great for assessing those predictions for 2064...when I’m 111.

It is entertaining to set both mechanical watches (which I love) as well as electronic watches against those super atomic clocks.

“If you take a clock off the floor, and hang it on the wall, Ye says, ‘the time will speed up by about one part in 1016.”

Might be a typo there. They’re talking the difference of a millisecond by being several feet higher.

That’d mean I could extend an 80 year lifetime by about 28 days if, instead of walking upright, I crawled.

How long before this is rolled out for college hoops, and it starts taking 30 minutes to play the last 15 seconds?

Surely in five billion years, the Earth’s rotation will slow or the orbit will alter. If the clock doesn’t lose a second, once the length of the day decays, the clock will be increasingly wrong.
