The scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Measurement have one big job: to measure things as accurately as possible. To do that, they build a lot of big and complicated machines, ...
Quick, what time is it? At the Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale, telling time takes a little longer to figure out. Visitors who use the Great Gravity Clock have to study the ...
Most of us think of time as a way to measure things like the length of our days and the span of our lives. But if you had access to a pair of extremely high-precision clocks, you could use time in a ...
Learn how Albert Einstein’s theory reveals that time on Mars runs faster than on Earth — and why that tiny shift matters for ...
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - A unique clock has returned to the Museum of Discovery and Science after undergoing repairs. The clock, better known as “The Great Gravity Clock,” was being repaired for ...
Researchers at at JILA, a joint institution of the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado Boulder have developed an atomic clock that can detect the ...
Gravity and motion make time pass faster on Mars than Earth, reshaping navigation, communication, and future crewed missions.
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. To unpack these a bit, Karl Popper was the philosopher of science who I ...
Researchers find that there exist fundamental limitations to the joint measurability of time along neighboring space–time trajectories, arising from the interplay between quantum mechanics and general ...
Time on Mars does not match time on Earth, and the difference is no longer a thought experiment. Precision calculations now show that clocks on the red planet tick measurably faster, confirming a ...
