Clock detects gravity effects predicted by Einstein's theory precisely

JILA researchers developed an optical atomic clock with unprecedented precision, potentially losing only one second every 30 billion years. This clock can detect effects of gravity predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity at the submillimeter scale. The clock's accuracy has implications for space navigation and exploration, quantum computing, and understanding the intersection of quantum mechanics and general relativity. Ye emphasizes the clock's potential to unveil new scientific phenomena.
