How an atomic clock works by Tim Harry Time was once simply measured in astronomical terms, with the passage of the sun recording the passage of time. Surprisingly this can be a relatively accurate method of telling the time. Greater accuracy though occurred through the use of mechanical... More> Laser atomic clocks could be 100 times more accurate by Terrence Aym The nature of time is a puzzle that none in physics have been able to solve. But that doesn't stop physicists from moving ahead with their ever more exacting measurement of whatever time is—and they're entering territory that makes the old-fas... More>

The rationale behind Coordinated Universal Time by B. Stone Coordinated Universal Time, abbreviated as UTC, is the collectively agreed upon accurate international time standard. It is essentially what time it is, according to scientists, weathermen, aviators, and nautical advisers, to the eighth decimal poin... More> The difference between Ephemeris Time and Terrestrial Dynamic Time by B. Stone Ephemeris Time (ET) and Terrestrial Dynamic Time (TDT) are both stable time standards devised to replace variable solar time. They are extremely precise methods of measuring time. The difference is that Terrestrial Dynamic Time is based on atomic ti... More>
