True Clocks

A watch is not a clock. Nothing we humans have created is a true clock. A true clock measures the passage of time by measuring the movement of time itself. Our clumsy "watches" don't do that at all. Our time keepers count the vibrations of tiny crystals of quartz. Atomic clocks in universities and labs count the vibrations of mercury or other finely tuned atoms. They all count something and then display the count to us in the time format we call seconds, minutes, hours. These measurements have no cosmic significance. Today, they are not even true fractions of the earth's day. They have become old relics, left over from the days when witches were burned at the stake. Our clocks may seem accurate and precise, but in fact these counters are very delicate and easy to screw up. A true clock will grant us huge insights into how our time works. This is not something we think about much.
