00:00The Gila-Strontium atomic clock shreds human time by missing one tick in 30 billion years.
00:07How do physicists trap thousands of metal atoms in thin air without letting a single one escape?
00:13Common sense says freezing them solid stops movement, but a blinding cage of laser light holds them still.
00:20Strontium atoms trapped and crossed laser waves tick trillions of times per second with absolute crystal perfection.
00:27This pure frequency pulse keeps the Gila-Strontium atomic clock ticking forever.
