改进后的未来时钟准确度将提高到320亿年一秒的误差——高出宇宙年龄的两倍多。
Future clocks that use the new improvements would be accurate to a second every 32 billion years — more than twice the age of the universe.
GPS接收机的校正可以对这方面的误差做出解释,但尽管如此,GPS时钟信号只能保证准确度为100纳秒的级别。
GPS receivers make corrections to account for this, but nonetheless the clock signals are only guaranteed to be correct on the order of 100 nanoseconds.
然而卡洛·康泰迪说,用GPS人造卫星来同步时钟,远远达不到这个准确度,这是因为GPS人造卫星的信号本身也受到重力时间膨胀效应的影响。
But Contaldi says that GPS synchronization is not nearly that accurate, because GPS satellite signals are themselves subject to gravitational time dilation.
