That means that it would take about 15,768,000 trillion years for it to be exactly right again, whereas a broken clock is exactly right twice every day.
Clocks of that style are essentially never exactly correct. Their small angular deviances lead to impossible time configurations regardless of the time of day -- broken or not.

Off course, time is a tool to comunicate, this cesium, practically doesn’t change, it is the most stable thing in what it does, so we refer to it. But time is a mesure of change, it depends on rate of change, the rate of progressing entropy, doesn’t really exist , because theoretically it is infinte. For us , it is a tool.
Hello wonderful Anton. From now on I’m going to set my watch by the neared Pulsar! I hope you don’t mind me making a little clarification. Quartz clocks are still in use today by just about every electronic device on the planet, including watches, PCs, smartphones, tablets, ovens, radios, TVs, toys, cars, etc, Probably 99.9% of devices use them, and why not, quartz crystals are incredibly cheap and dry accurate when combined with a PLL oscillator and a frequency divider. Love your channel, there’s always something interesting to engage my brain.
Dogs are amazing aren’t they? I lived in an apartment for a time, 3 stories up. About 30-50 yards away from where the car could be parked. When a family member went shopping, my dog would suddenly jump up on the window ceil, look at the window & within seconds the car would pull up. To this day I have no idea how he’d know
My horses and cats have been amazing clocks, and are birds. I presume they do it via special light receptors in their eyes to discern small changes in sunlight, although horses and cats can tell time at night, too. My present cat wakes up at 3am, on the dot, ugh. My horses came to the fence by our bedroom and raised hell at 10am on Sat and Sun, as we slept later than on weekdays, when they got fed at 6am (and they were waiting patiently at their feeding 'spots', then, too). There was horse naptime (noon), horseplay (4pm), and hiding from humans at riding time (7pm).
@@LemonLadyRecords Have you ever: Told yourself “I need to wake up at X time.” And without an alarm or before the alarm went off woken up at that precise time?

The Dunwich Priory clock was mostly used to keep track of the "canonical hours". In a monastery, certain prayers are to be said at certain times of day.
I remember reading that in the US it wasn't until railroads came along that the average person cared what the exact time was. Before then, people thought you were on time if you arrived within 15-20 minutes of an appointment. But with multiple trains scheduled to run on the same tracks, it became *very* important that trains kept to whatever schedule was posted.
It wasn't so much that people didn't care what the exact time was, but that different towns had different ideas as to what time it was. Each town would have, for example, their own local noon when the Sun was at its highest. The invention of trains marked the first time people had been able to get between towns fast enough for this to matter. Meaningful timetables etc. required a single time across the entire network.
When the British had their first contest for a marine clock, early tests showed the chronometer built by John Tates was best and won the navy contract. But it was found to be utterly useless at sea, leading to the phrase, “he who has a Tates, is lost”

GR doesn't impose a limit (provided you're cool with measuring "proper time" which you should be) but the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle does. This clock is still some way off that theoretical limit.
@@benc8386 I mean technically neither does the uncertainty principle, as long as you're cool with never measuring positions accurately (as in, at all), right?
@@justarandompally There's a position/momentum uncertainty but the same thing also applies to time/energy. If you want to measure an object's position in time very precisely then you will have to accept some uncertainty about its energy.

Hopefully if you are from/in the US, you did not use that hick brain to vote for the murderous NYC shyster buffoon that harmed/is still harming our nation.
The question is: Is this the final clock? do we need or are we going to need an even more precise clock in the future? like some planck time precision clock?
I took a quick look at the paper. The longest time period mentioned was 2 minutes. No hours or days. Some of the charts are for 50 seconds. This seems to be more of a short-term stopwatch than a clock.
12th century clergy: Fuuuuuck, the choir has to practice again. How can we accurately keep track of their time so they don’t have to assault our ears for any more time than necessary?
'The Discoverers' is a fascinating book about the development of cartography and timekeeping. It was a NYT bestseller and is written by the Historian for the Library of Congress, Daniel Boorstin. One of my favorite books.

If you prefer, think of these times as Man's Pre Star Trek Moment -- complete with our own Q. Mankind either ends war now, thus preparing the way for a marvellous, worldwide civilization, or men are forever forbidden from the stars -- perhaps, even our souls bound to earth, with the beasts. Q, just as Q-wizical as ever, says, "I don't believe men have souls. If they do, it's barely discernible. This time, Jean-Luc, it's not up to you and your crew to save the day. It's up to them -- souls or not!"
All mechanical clocks that use some sort of oscillator, have an escapement. The first very inaccurate clocks had a crown wheel and leaf escapement that moved a dumbbell oscillator. The pendulum type had a lever escapement. No matter what, the point where the circular motion of the gear train is transformed into oscillating back-and-forth motion relies on an escapement as the mediator.
Although you forget the antekythera mechanism an ancient mechanical computer/clock from over 2000 years ago. It could predict astronomical events which in turn could be used as timekeeping placements.
Such a great video ! With the theme of time explored through the history of time keeping from its earliest forms to its most current discoveries. Little nitpick : Astrolabes !
Is the quantum entaglement a natural errors self correcting thing with the entanglement creating instant correction because what happens to one happens to the other, more entanglement more possible corrections?
1:41 "Yo man, empty those pockets! I want the wallet! Gimme yo money and the Rolex!" "I haven't got a Rolex, I've got a sundial." "Whatever! Give it up.... and I'll be taking that waterclock too."
Quartz movements are still extremely common in wristwatches. The most expensive mechanical watches still can't match the accuracy of even a cheap quartz watch
Am I correct in assuming that the clock will only be that precise if it's not moved from where it is now? I am thinking of change in elevation, magnetic field, earth's rotational speed, pull from the terrestrial objects and lost more.
Will this clock be so accurate that you have to define at what elevation you are at, and non-moving relative to the earth, and what latitude you are on? Perhaps we'll have to add another feature to STP (standard temperature and pressure) adding acceleration due to gravity.
Very informative for how clocks change. Would you want to have a follow up explaining how clocks are based 12 rather than a power 10 unit? I thought it was related to the Maya civilization in use of pi. This video could have an extension of why we have a time based for units of days, weeks, moths to years for a calendar. Even leap years.

For me, time is much simpler to track: Early, Late, Morning, Noon, Evening, Night, Weekend, That time of the month and That time of the year. Who needs more?
If you are talking about clocks and needing more accuracy, you neglected to mention John Harrison, he presented his first designs for his Marine Chronometer in 1730, which he improved upon through his life.
I think you underrepresented how much development there was in timekeeping devices between the 2nd millenium BC and the 1200s. Starting in the late centuries BC, improvements in water clocks, making more and more complex water-driven clocks started appearing accross Eurasia, particularly in Greece and Rome, China, and the Islamic world. I'd need a better source in this, but I've heard that some water-driven mechanical clocks were the most accurate type of clock until the pendulum clock was invented in 1656. Timekeeping based on burning candles or incence also appeared in the 1st millenium AD.
You left out part of the development of timekeeping, namely how the watches came to be, which are operated with a coiled spring. A first specimen was already created for Philipp the Good of Burgundy, it was made portable by Peter Henlein in 1511. John Harrison then had the idea to combine the precision of the pendulum with the smoothness of the coil, and thus created clocks with a precision that allowed to navigate ships straight across the ocean, just by using star charts and time, that hadn't existed before. Yet it took 30 years until his work became acknowledged, because he wasn't an academic...
Sweet, now people can be far more accurate when they tell me how late I was.
Yet, you can render that accuracy negligible if you are late enough.
Your 10.563217890000665421 minutes late.

Reality contracts to "now", which is another word for a singularity, so moment to moment the "now" sheds the past like the husk of an insect, and invents quantum expectations to explore as possibilities in the "future" we expect/desire/fear. We are the singularity of time.
Wow, Anton. Just when I begin thinking you have covered pretty much everything, you find more exciting & deep truths and/or other phenomenon that captures my complete attention and awe. Thank you so much.
"This is the most accurate clock in the world!"
General Relativity wants a word with you...
We can account for that. In fact, atomic clocks were used to measure GR.
GR doesn't impose a limit (provided you're cool with measuring "proper time" which you should be) but the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle does. This clock is still some way off that theoretical limit.
@@benc8386 I mean technically neither does the uncertainty principle, as long as you're cool with never measuring positions accurately (as in, at all), right?
@@justarandompally There's a position/momentum uncertainty but the same thing also applies to time/energy. If you want to measure an object's position in time very precisely then you will have to accept some uncertainty about its energy. But yes if you're cool with the tradeoff you can have arbitrary precision in one of the parameters.
@@benc8386 Ah yeah right, got that mixed up a wee bit. That was exactly what I meant
This is a great episode! Thanks Anton!
In my world, 'one mississippi' is the measurement of one second.

Very cool. Used this for an interview. Thank you for sharing!
Fascinating video! Thanks for illuminating us on this aspect of science 🤓😃
"This technology [the crystal quartz clock] didn't last long--" Oh, ya know, besides in every computer today. :p
Hi. Could you explain how the lenth of a second was decided? And same question for 1 metre. Thx!
The question is: Is this the final clock? do we need or are we going to need an even more precise clock in the future? like some planck time precision clock?
I have learn so much from this channel this year. Thank you Anton.
Same to me☺
I took a quick look at the paper. The longest time period mentioned was 2 minutes. No hours or days. Some of the charts are for 50 seconds. This seems to be more of a short-term stopwatch than a clock.
I need one; where can I buy the wristmodel ?! 😉
12th century clergy: Fuuuuuck, the choir has to practice again. How can we accurately keep track of their time so they don’t have to assault our ears for any more time than necessary?
Yeah priests had to be precise when to get the choir boys before the parents picked them up.
Dammit someone stole the sundial again.
'The Discoverers' is a fascinating book about the development of cartography and timekeeping. It was a NYT bestseller and is written by the Historian for the Library of Congress, Daniel Boorstin. One of my favorite books.

Thanks for excellent presentation. It is always a great pleasure to watch your scientific videos. Many of them I have been watching several times just to catch up with science (I am lawyer with secret passion for physics) because you are excellent educator. Happy New year to you and your loved ones with hope that you will avoid Covid 19. All the best.
Love this man
Reminds me of when I used to watch Connections with James Burke
More like this please!
I have never heard a non-native Dutch speaker pronounce Christiaan Huygens so well. Good job Anton!
"It's about time. It's about space. it's about a whacky, whacky place."
If you prefer, think of these times as Man's Pre Star Trek Moment -- complete with our own Q. Mankind either ends war now, thus preparing the way for a marvellous, worldwide civilization, or men are forever forbidden from the stars -- perhaps, even our souls bound to earth, with the beasts.
Q, just as Q-wizical as ever, says,
"I don't believe men have souls. If they do, it's barely discernible. This time, Jean-Luc, it's not up to you and your crew to save the day. It's up to them -- souls or not!"

All mechanical clocks that use some sort of oscillator, have an escapement. The first very inaccurate clocks had a crown wheel and leaf escapement that moved a dumbbell oscillator. The pendulum type had a lever escapement. No matter what, the point where the circular motion of the gear train is transformed into oscillating back-and-forth motion relies on an escapement as the mediator.
A wonderfully informative video - thanks Anton.
You know Antons is exited when his intro is speedy
Thank you Anton, I really enjoyed this video! It was very thorough and informative. :)
Science is more important than ironing your tee :) Great vid and history lesson Anton!
Absolutely fascinating! Loved every minute! No pun intended.
Super interesting, Anton! Love your vids!!!
I love this! There are so many things that can be solved or discovered with this kind of clock!
An important innovation omitted here was the marine chronometer based on spiral spring for regulation, instead of a pendulum.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, The Most Wonderful Person! :-)
Your videos have been interesting and good. Thank you for doing these.
Rolex: Hmm I'm going to put this in my watches.
Very interesting thanks for taking the time to share this.
Anton I am so grateful you choose to a font a knowledge. I LOVE your vids
Although you forget the antekythera mechanism an ancient mechanical computer/clock from over 2000 years ago. It could predict astronomical events which in turn could be used as timekeeping placements.
Such a great video ! With the theme of time explored through the history of time keeping from its earliest forms to its most current discoveries.
Little nitpick : Astrolabes !
Awesome explanation of the history and connection to astronomy !
Fantastic video, loved the historical review! History is often missing in contemporary discussions.
DJ the drummer of Khruangbin is keeping time very accurately, no need for other time measuring devices :D
Always quality information and thank you for making videos so often. 🍻
I press like at every video of Anton Petrov at the begining, i watch it all and then i want to press like again! Always the same feeling
Bet it’s not more accurate than my cat demanding breakfast.
this dude be talking about history of clocks? I thought we'll talk about atoms
this guy motivated me to study for college
great channel, i listen to these while trying to sleep
There are channels specifically for that, try listening and learning.
That was very, very interesting. Thank you.
Very good episode. Most Entertaining episode in a while
Someone got a new camera for Christmas 😄 I didn’t know clock was named after a bell, that’s good to learn. Thank you!
It's time to send that wonderful t-shirt to the dry-cleaners to get cleaned and pressed. :)
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for doing the research.
These kind of talks always reminds me of how small I am standing on the shoulders of giants.
Thank you for your greeting, I can be feeling down and that greeting makes me smile. good video as well, interesting history
I like hearing it . thanks for your video's. Keeps me interested in everything I didn't know before. Keep it up .
You are thus far the smartest guy I have experienced the conversing of.
Thank you for showing this .
This is truly amazing ,
How man has really
Acquired this knowledge is simply amazing .
Is the quantum entaglement a natural errors self correcting thing with the entanglement creating instant correction because what happens to one happens to the other, more entanglement more possible corrections?

Quartz movements are still extremely common in wristwatches. The most expensive mechanical watches still can't match the accuracy of even a cheap quartz watch
It's been a while since I checked in. This has been a good time. Thank You!
This was a really cool one. Thank you Anton.
Am I correct in assuming that the clock will only be that precise if it's not moved from where it is now? I am thinking of change in elevation, magnetic field, earth's rotational speed, pull from the terrestrial objects and lost more.
Oh, I thought that was a dubble bladed lightsaber behind you..
Will this clock be so accurate that you have to define at what elevation you are at, and non-moving relative to the earth, and what latitude you are on? Perhaps we'll have to add another feature to STP (standard temperature and pressure) adding acceleration due to gravity.
Very informative for how clocks change. Would you want to have a follow up explaining how clocks are based 12 rather than a power 10 unit? I thought it was related to the Maya civilization in use of pi.
This video could have an extension of why we have a time based for units of days, weeks, moths to years for a calendar. Even leap years.
For me, time is much simpler to track:
Early, Late, Morning, Noon, Evening, Night, Weekend, That time of the month and That time of the year.
Who needs more?
If you are talking about clocks and needing more accuracy, you neglected to mention John Harrison, he presented his first designs for his Marine Chronometer in 1730, which he improved upon through his life.
I think you underrepresented how much development there was in timekeeping devices between the 2nd millenium BC and the 1200s. Starting in the late centuries BC, improvements in water clocks, making more and more complex water-driven clocks started appearing accross Eurasia, particularly in Greece and Rome, China, and the Islamic world. I'd need a better source in this, but I've heard that some water-driven mechanical clocks were the most accurate type of clock until the pendulum clock was invented in 1656. Timekeeping based on burning candles or incence also appeared in the 1st millenium AD.
Derek finally has a way to accurately measure the speed of light
Interesting how increases in precision feeds on itself, becoming more and more precise. Time, weight, etc etc.
You left out part of the development of timekeeping, namely how the watches came to be, which are operated with a coiled spring. A first specimen was already created for Philipp the Good of Burgundy, it was made portable by Peter Henlein in 1511. John Harrison then had the idea to combine the precision of the pendulum with the smoothness of the coil, and thus created clocks with a precision that allowed to navigate ships straight across the ocean, just by using star charts and time, that hadn't existed before. Yet it took 30 years until his work became acknowledged, because he wasn't an academic...
Astronomy is the main key to unlocking and understanding time.⏰
