What this means for timekeeping:
The advent of atomic clocks has revolutionized the way we keep track of time. These clocks use the oscillations of radioactive elements to keep time with remarkable accuracy. Even without the help of these clocks, most of us would be able to tell Greenwich Mean Time from Standard Time because both times are measured by Earth's rotation.
