Space Clock: A new atomic clock only loses a second or so every 300billion years

A fascinating new announcement from researchers studying the unknown above us. According to reports, , researchers and astronomers have announced a new atomic clock that evidently doesn’t lose but a second or so every 300B years. The new clock is expected to be able to help further investigate gravitational pulls and that of dark matter.

“Optical lattice clocks are already the best clocks in the world, and here we get this level of performance that no one has seen before,” Shimon Kolkowitz, a University of Wisconsin-Madison physics professor and senior author of the study, said in a statement. “We’re working to both improve their performance and to develop emerging applications that are enabled by this improved performance.”
