Scientists Develop A Clock So Accurate It Could Detect Dark Matter - CNet

I'm sure this chronometer could detect dark matter if dark matter existed, but Jackson Ryan's editor's baity headline aside, this instrument is so sensitive that moving it away from the Earth's surface will change how it measures time. Quite interesting in light of Mike McRae's article from 2017 Physicists Find That As Clocks Get More Precise, Time Gets More Fuzzy suggesting the sheer subjectivity of time's arrow moving in one direction, let alone a Time Loop. And as a species which is ruled by the almighty clock, what would it say for our quaint notion of civilization and science should time be a mug's game? Further out in space, Curiosity Rover Just Spotted This Super-Shiny Object On Mars getting George Dvorsky all excited. This bauble, dubbed Little Colonsay, may also be an extraterrestrial visitor like its discoverer. Here's hoping the rover displays some of its eponymous curiosity after dropping the ball in 2013 when it merely shrugged at the Martian "Flower". C'mon, NASA! Bringing up the rear of our science roundup is Tim Binnall, feeling a little addled after looking into this Mysterious Seismic Event Stumping Scientists back on Veteran's Day. Maybe the planet was gearing up for the 'quake that rattled Anchorage yesterday? (CS)
