Cool Clock..

Time - the only thing that’s same with everybody but different for everybody; has been a big master for all. The only way humans have tamed it, has been on the time piece. Taking that human diligence of master-hood to a redefined timeline, physicists from the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics have created an atomic clock that’s accuracy personified. The newly developed atomic clock is so accurate that it’ll never gain nor lose a second for over 200 million years – enough time to be accurate in course of human existence, I guess.

The ploy behind keeping the clock in precision, as explained by designer Jun Ye, is to speed up the ticks of the clock (evident from 430 trillion ticks’ per second that the clock generates). This speed is produced with a ‘pendulum effect’ of atoms, consisting of a nucleus and electrons, held consistent by laser beams. The laser light falling on the electrons aid them to swing back and forth with exactness and rapidity, thus making a pendulum effect for the clock.
