Have you ever set a clock in your home using the time from your phone and found yourself wondering what times the timer? Come discover how we measure time and why precise time measurements are absolutely fundamental for science.

Atomic Clocks - timekeeping to ultimate precision

Harry Morgan (Postdoctoral Researcher - UCLA)

Ricky Elwell (Graduate Student - UCLA)

With today's state-of-the-art atomic clocks, we are able to measure time with incredible precision. Headlines claim ""new clock loses 1 second in 2 and half lifetimes of the universe!"" But what does this mean? Why do we care about hyper-accurate clocks, and what does it mean to define one second anyway? So let's have a chat about what it means to measure time.
