Power outage

Imagine this... let's all carry around pocket computers that sync with atomic clocks, they can the use low power radios to set cheap clocks... cough... bluetooth current time service... cough...

I don't have anything to do in elevator, so I do not care much about attention being 'stolen'.

[finitebanjo@lemmy.world]

TBH I never set them. Whats the point?

[mariusafa@lemmy.sdf.org]

Idk maybe, just maybe. Add a cheap AF coin battery like for example motherboards to keep the internal clock alive.

Epic trick dear manufacturers. Well maybe it will cost them 0.05€ more per device... That means less Ferraris for the CEOs so idk about that.

[finitebanjo@lemmy.world]

Yeah, Atomic Clocks can measure time with great precision as the radioactive decay of elements is extremely consistent.

[psud@aussie.zone]

Very bad. It is probably online yet doesn't set its time via NTP

[psud@aussie.zone]

Some physicists think they do. I have heard two different ideas though both summarise to "time is a side effect of the universe operating"

[openstars@piefed.social]

The real caveat there may be: which time dimension:-).

[psud@aussie.zone]

I'm pretty sure that current theory has only one time dimension and some number of space ones

[openstars@piefed.social]

Oh yes, I'm going beyond that to "possibilities that are fascinating to consider, despite having no evidence whatsoever to support them":-).
