Clocks on Campus Inaccurate
By lex Granados | November 12Time has become relative in many classrooms around the UNC campus. The wall clocks in many campus buildings are off-kilter, showing times that are too slow or too fast. In general the reasons for this are ordinary. "Some of it is battery, and some of it is due to location," said Joe Emory of the Division of Facilities Services. The disturbances would not be so noteworthy if they were not synchronized by low-frequency radio signals from the United States' atomic clock in Colorado, supposedly one of the most precise in the world.
