That big grandfather clock ... fountain atomic clock — no less a clock than the one that’s used to define the SI second, by the way — [Daniel] looked for ways to sync the clock up to it.

In 2001, Japanese physicist Hidetoshi Katori proposed a new type of atomic clock that only loses ... showing in 2020 that clocks set on the observation deck at 450 metres ticked faster by 4/ ...
