I wonder how accurately live that clock is. It's almost nauseating to set and watch.

That clock is supposed to be as accurate as humanly possible to make one.  Lots of super complicated formulas go in to the calculations.

So it's obviously not LIVE, live. It's probably running on a calculator script based on statistics. :shrug:

Sorry Mr Semp sir. The only reason I noticed, is because my internet connection was going in and out as I was going to close the clock.  :doh2:
