The Mind-Blowing Precision of Atomic Clocks Explained | Brian Keating & Joe Rogan #shorts

Join Brian Keating and Joe Rogan as they unravel the astonishing accuracy of atomic clocks, capable of measuring time to one part in 1000 trillionth of a second. Delve into the fascinating history of timekeeping, from the Earth's rotation to the ingenious Babylonian system of 60-based units. Discover the cutting-edge technology behind atomic clocks and their crucial role in modern science.

We have 10 fingers. The babylonians also counted with their fingers, but rather than each finger being a digit, they used their thumb to counter finger segments, and we have 4 fingers with 3 segments each for a total of 12 segments.

Once 12 us reached 1 finger is out up on the other hand, and we have 5 fingers on the other than so thats a total of 60.

So for ancient times the base 60 system is easier to divide, in half, in thirds, in fourths, in 5ths, in 6ths, 10ths, 12ths, 15ths...

the base twelve system is superior to the base ten system. it is not up to him to mock it.

Haven't they had these clocks for ages? You can get a time channel on SW radio?

So who are they? lol. AFAIK, the best atomic clock is made in China, but I know he ain’t referring to that one
