Atomic clocs are outdated, using pulsars (pulsating strar) you can measure the time way better (atomic clocks have an error of 10^-16 seconds while pulsars have an error of 10^-18 seconds).
even NTP lite can adjust for network latency, each ping has the 4 timestamps needed for it. (Assuming up is equal to down with regards to latency) Full NTP will do that **and** tries to filter out anomalies in the measured latencies.
And if you use the NTP daemon, your clock will never jump backwards, the daemon will adjust the clock speed to slowly get in sync with the world. I had this problem once a long time ago, my mail server comitted suicide because my clock jumped backwards, I've been using the daemon since, it's very lightweight.
@@hardware_geek8136 it's worth nothing that any civilization advanced enough to receive and decipher (amidst intergalactic noise + wave decay) would probably have their own atomic clocks, as well as some sort of broadcast system for them implemented at some point in their history.
It is funny how I spoke with my family member about this things (automatic clocks) and that today I had to speak at university about those electrons activation and photons
I had a piece of software that I got back in the late '80s or early '90s that allowed you to dial in via modem to NIST servers directly. It would calculate the latency on the phone call and set the clock on your computer, plus the calculated latency, so it would be very close to the exact NIST atomic-clock time. Within a thousandth of a second, or so it claimed. Obviously such a piece of software would be obsolete today, but it was very cool back then to have it!
Dat doesn't answer my question why my samsung led TV plugged off for more than a year. And after I turned it on, it still shows an accurate date and time. No power, no battery, no wifi connection. How? Can anyone answer? Is there some sort of build-in small specialized clock-battery inside that can last for years?
It works similarly to an atomic clock in the way it uses oscillations... Instead of bombarding an atom with loads of energy it measures the naturally occurring oscillations of a crystal when a voltage is applied across it... Thus the CMOS battery is all that is needed to keep this oscillator going.
My laundry.. my microwave.. my alarm timer.. my clocks.. it all has to be done manually. Only my computer sets it up automatically. Grr. Most of my things are not cheap either... so i dont know.. its not really a history thing. It happens with me quite often.
Please make a video on focus stealing (in-browser and OS). This issue can be very irritating especially when typing up your paper or browsing very questionable websites. I think it deserves more attention. It's a very old GUI/UX problem that still hasn't been solved! It blows my mind how no one has managed to fix this really annoying problem.
2:33 The cesium atom is not what oscillates. When the electron in the excited state spontaneously decays back to its ground state it releases a photon back. In an ensemble of such atoms those photons produce an electromagnetic signal, which is to say a light pulse (think radio) which we can detect. The frequency of this signal is what keeps time.

The NTP time protocol (the protocol that is dedicated to getting time from atomic clocks) will actually try to adjust for network latency. Mostly by assuming up latency is equal to down latency.
I have a diferent opinion when it comes to Mobile devices. I think that they capture the time settings from the mobile equipments on the operators Core Servers (MSCs). Most mobile equipments, due to some caracteristics, don't have NTP server configured, só they send their time settings. The time settings in these equipments have to configured correctly by the analists (My job) so the user does not notice any problems.
Riddle me this: Why does my basic as hell radio alarm clock in my bedroom automatically spring forward/fall back for Daylight Savings Time, but in my '07 Charger with GPS navigation, I have to go into the settings menu to turn on/off Daylight Savings Time??? Also, it's a minor pet peeve of mine when you do have to reset the clocks in the house (stove,microwave, etc.) and they all end up being seconds off of each other when all is said and done 😠
these guys smart. make a time change video close to when there is an actually time change for most of America for the thousands of us who are having problems with our phones
Nicely done and right on time. Here's a couple of questions that are keeping me awake. Is it possible to quantify the size of the average human brain in terms of memory storage, i.e Gb's/Tb's? And, you clearly have a flair for talking techie facts, were you born with this incredible and vast knowledge? Or do you simply use Amazon Alexa and a handy autocue ? I think a behind the scenes video would reveal your vast empire and team of helpers.
Hey linus! I have an iPod Classic. I use it once every 2 years. The battery works for 15 mins and every time that I start it it shows the correct time. I don’t understand how does that machine set its time
I figured that maybe smart devices get the time from what I like to call “Clockwork Servers” that is basically a server that keeps track of time and pushes the output to your smart device, but I suppose atomic clocks work, too. Well at least I got it mostly right.
The concept of measuring time actually started in Greenwich London & is where the GMT time format originated....... also different countries measure their time as GMT+ hours but never GMT - hours
I would just like to take a little time to express just how impressed I am by the contents of this video, both on an informal and humorous level. I genuinely smiled at several of the jokes that were related to time, while also feeling nostalgic and even learning something very interesting and useful. Thank you very much for this video Linus and the rest of the team!
Linus I completely agree and boy oh boy those were the days but like the rest of the world I began to ignore the VCR clock as it was practically useless if you had a wall mounted clock or a watch
Even the old iPod I have sitting around still adjusted itself for daylight savings time last week, with it's wifi off. I have no idea what signal it was using, or maybe it just knew what date to fall back on.
Here in Brazil several phones went to daylight saving time one week earlier! Oops. But when I was in US I saw some "atomic" wall clocks that I guessed got their time from radio stations that transmitted the accurate time. I have was wondering if I bring some "atomic" clocks down here, if they would work at all. There's any wall clock that adjust their time to your wifi router or an international date and time service?
I remember finding the NTP server box on my first Windows XP machine when I was 12 and thinking to myself "what's NIST?" and changing it to "time.nasa.gov," because that sounded cooler. Sure enough, NASA actually runs an NTP server on that address and it synced, to my surprise.
cesium dosn't provide Time, only a frequenc. At the company i work we have multipe timeservers, who get ther time from multiple ggns services and other sources. if one drifts away, the others will notice it and send an alarm.
My noise machine is also an alarm clock and it’s drift is ridiculous. It can be off by a couple minutes every 6 months or so. I don’t use it as an alarm clock so it doesn’t really matter, but it drives my OCD/perfectionism crazy
Haven't been able to sync my windows pc's manually with an ntp for a while now. So not sure how true that still is... Win 7 & 10 both don't manually sync, they do still automagically switch DST though. On linux it works fine however, just hard to find a still working NTP due to the ddos issues with the protocol (unless that has been fixed by now)
One small problem. My laptop doesn't adjust the time automatically and has to be set whenever the clocks change. It also has to be set manually when the mains cable has been unplugged for a few seconds because the battery is shot and needs replacing. It's actually not worth replacing the battery because the laptop is about 10 years old. I've looked at buying a new laptop, but I don't know if the ones on display in Currys PC World have been messed with, but they feel slow and unresponsive in comparison to my dinosaur running Windows 7 (the best version in existence).
There's a battery in your motherboard. Look up CMOS battery. Fun fact: my laptop is so old the CMOS battery doesn't work anymore, so every time I unplug it, it goes back to 2007. :-)
I remember my school clocks (analog controlled by one master clock) being like 2-3 mins ahead of the time on my cellphone when cellphones first came out. Eventually the school went digital and the clocks reflected what my phone said. What I’m wondering is- did the schools conform to the pressures of our phones and set the time back a few minutes? Or had the schools always been off by that amount of time? I lived in a rural community.
My school has digital clocks.. and they ‘re always 1-1.5 MINUTES off from what my phone says.. always screws me up when tryna figure out between periods how much time I have untill the bell rings.. and no i don’t live in a rural area
Nope, second is no longer defined by cesium atom vibrations, but by the speed of light in vacuum. However, the old definition is basically the same as the new one (though the new one is obviously more exact). Much like how the kilogram will soon be redefined to a new standard based on other measurements and to do that they need to take that old piece of metal from Paris for one last weigh-in.
I can't sync with time.nist.gov. It says "client fails sending out a request". Or sometimes when I switch to alt servers like time.a-nist.gov it says "This operation occurred because the timeout period expired". Any suggestions? I have turned off ESET firewall.
I bought an android head unit for my truck from 'carjoying'. It's really great except the clock was an hour behind no matter what I did. I would set it to the right time and turn off automatic time and try every combination of every possibly related setting but no matter what I did, every time I got back in my truck it would be back to an hour behind. UNTIL we set the clocks back an hour a few days ago. Now it's right.
4:16 "But do remember ..." bla bla latency. For a super easy example time.is (or just time.is and mash that enter button). Which will tell you the accuracy of the synchronization.
Omg i remember needing to reset the time on my VCR and noone knowing how to do it too No im not that old, my family never upgraded from VCRs to DVRs... We also never upgraded to hd until april last year... And never got wifi until november last year... And never got smartphones until the end of 2015... And never upgraded to a fhd tv... And never upgraded to windows 10 until december last year... Maybe i need to stop, im just depressing myself... ._.
It’s okay fetching time from somewhere But even with your PC not connected to internet by any means & with no gps, (& automatic date & time turned off), it still shows right time after being turned off for days. How it does that? Is there a clock running inside all time that’s powered by some small battery in the cpu that recharged every time you turn your computer on?? (My 2004 windows PC with no wifi, no Bluetooth, no GPS, [and we didn’t connect it to internet] used to do this) Somebody please explain., Thanks
I have dual booted my laptop with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 and whenever i go back to windows the time is not updated even though it's connected to internet and automatic time is set to on
I do miss the days.. When I was able to call the atomic clock; as in, "the time lady" as most called it. To get the exact time. 20 years ago in Fort Collins, Co. ahh the good old days. I don't know if it still a working phone number :-/ It was my job to reset the VCR after power outages by calling that number... and waiting for the sound of the beep.
