If it's all computerized, they could mess up occasionally because machines, like the humans that made them, are fallible. So sometimes I wonder, what if the "universal clock" or whatever got offset by like half a second or more every year and no one noticed, and over the years it keeps doing that so right now we think it's a certain time but it's "really" not. In other words, what we are calling an hour is really not, which explains why it seems like years are going faster & faster.
I want to know how we know exactly what time it is, and how we keep track of that to an EXACT science.
