What Makes Time... Time?
- Atomic Clocks keep our time accurate to billionths of a second.
- Leap Seconds are occasionally added to adjust for Earth's slowing rotation.
- Your device clock syncs with internet time servers for pinpoint precision.
Time isn't just ticking. It's being measured, corrected, and perfected.
Uses of Accurate Time:
- Scheduling global meetings
- Coordinating flights or events
- Syncing systems or databases
- Daily routines, meditation, workouts
- Even... waiting for that pizza delivery
Did you know that "now" is technically an instant so short it can't even be measured? But don't worry — our clocks get pretty darn close.
