But the satellites are equipped with clocks that are much more
precise than the clock in a gps receiver.
Not exact matches
The team calculates that a global quantum
clock network would be about 100 times more
precise than any individual
clock.
The accuracy and the stability of optical
clocks are mainly based on the fact that the frequency of the optical radiation used is higher (by several orders of magnitude)
than that of the microwave radiation which is used in cesium atomic
clocks, which makes optical
clocks much more
precise than cesium
clocks.
BOULDER, Colo. — Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built an enhanced version of an experimental atomic
clock based on a single aluminum atom that is now the world's most
precise clock, more
than twice as
precise as the previous pacesetter based on a mercury atom.
So
precise is their rotation that millisecond pulsars can measure time more accurately
than human - built atomic
clocks — that is why when first discovered, in 1967, it was thought that they could be the product of some extraterrestrial civilization.
Ticks along like a freshly wound - up
clock, smart and
precise, keeping its audience just breathless enough not to notice that more
than two hours have passed.
Thanks to the weird arc jumps follow merely judging whether a leap is manageable or not requires a lot more guesswork
than it should, leaving any section that requires
precise platforming against the
clock feeling like a chore rather
than a joyous celebration of skill.
