...great

Nice !!


In the US after a wave of Polish immigration Polish jokes became very common. I was hoping this would be a great one.

My sad attempt:


Have you seen the new Polish clock? It's 100% accurate twice a day.


Peace

As i know teams from US,EU and Japan also tried to build this one. But we were the first :)
Well..great ;)
I'm waiting for an application to synchronize via internet...

go Poland

Does it run backwards?

This wont affect my life in any way.
Yet another good spending of our money.

Cool.

Do any OP's actualy read the article's they are posting about.

Its ONE of the most accurate clocks in the world, NOT THE MOST accurate clock in the world.

I'll take a atomic clock over this piece of shit anytime.

Syncronizing with a souce billions of light years away is hardly a practical proposition now is it.

bardzo dobrze!!!

Jus one of the most accurate...

the most accurate ckock is here:

Danzig is Germany

why do we need such accurate time?

my cheap 2 quid watch works fine

also in the way it works.....

what if a planet transits the line of sight of the pulsar, would it interrupt the stream of pulses and mess the time up?

"Construction works started on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the birth of Gdansk astronomer Johannes Hevelius, the Polish astronomer who built a prototype pendulum clock."

Johannes Hevelius is German

Looking at clocks is a waste of time.

that is impressive! I think that is a fine accomplishment. Its terrible that some people have a need to put down advancements of whatever kind!

Shhh...

Great... 'Cause we need one more that is accurate to within 1 second every thirty MILLION years! Makes sense...

If it is the most accurate clock, then how do they determine the standard unit of time to confirm uniformity? The environment needs to record the test with equal or more accuracy.

Gdansk / Danzig - Poland??? LMAO

The clock mechanism operates based on impulses sent by pulsars - neutron stars, which radiate with exceptional regularity.

wow that's cool

hehe man you're showing atomic clock....old one way now to measure time

how many pollocks did it take to build it?

Oh no! Havnt you read Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett!?
CLOCK DOOM!
LOL

Poland rules

You are uninformed.
All 'Polish' jokes are known to Poles as a 'Russian' jokes.
Poles make them up them as a relief from oppression.

Argue that with Google Earth.
