RSSThe Fastest Clock in the World
How fast is the fastest clock in the world? Well, this one measures time to a millionth of a second. I really like Freddie Yauner's work, especially The Fastest Clock in the World.

@James
You are right!
I guess all clocks really should be running at the same speed.

Speed and precision are two different things. If this clock is measuring an hour faster than others, then it is probably either broken or involved in a relativity experiment...

Gravity and other distortions of space time can change the flow of time so your wrong

I was just on Google looking for facts about the speed of time!

Clocks used in relativity experiments often measure times to the billionths of a second so I'm not sure how this clock can be considered the fastest in the world.
