🕰 Thorium Watch by MEPhI!

Take a look on a @laplasmephi's amazing thorium watch!

🔍 Did you know?

📌In the international system of units, a second is defined as the time interval during which a caesium-133 (133Cs) atom makes 9,192,631,770 transitions between two ultrathin sublevels at a temperature of about 120 µK.

📌 A typical household quartz clock has an accuracy of ±15 seconds per month. This is not precise enough for advanced geopositioning systems and other cutting-edge technologies.

📌 Atomic clocks, however, measure time with an astounding accuracy of 10^-17, resulting in an error of just 1 second over 3 billion years.

📌 Enhancing time measurement accuracy by one order of magnitude—to 10^-18—will unlock numerous breakthroughs in technology, science, and economics.
