you know what is sweet about atomic clocks?

[thelastmccabe]

Even if you go back in time, your atomic watch will automatically set itself correctly as soon as it gets the signal! God is that awesome or what? You go back in time...and your watch is STILL correct!

With most clocks or electronics, if you go back in time on a time machine it's going to be a real pain to set them to your new time, plus, you won't even know if your time machinde worked until you go look at a newspaper or something! But as long as the US atomic clock in boulder is sending out signals (you can't go back very far), your atomic clock will immediately set itself to your new time automatically to save you the hassle, and you can test the time machine too! You can't go back in time very far, but who the hell wants to go back that far anyway? Old stuff sux!

except when you travel to times without the atomic clock siagnals... sigh it's better just to get a quantum dater and save yourself the headache

Atomic clocks could not have evolved by chance. It proves you God exists, and so therefore, by his own arguments, he doesn't. QED.

 

So when you go back to a time that doesn't have an atomic clock?

Didn't think this one through, did you?

We want to go forward to the future, not past... to the back.

No, he didn't. He just said " who wants to go back that far anyway"

Referring to a time when the atomic clock didn't exist... so he did think of it...

Gotcha.
But if you went back in time with a time machine, wouldn't you be directly setting the time you want to go back to? So you would already know exactly what time and date it is.

You'd hope so

That's how my time machine works.
