Judah Levine, the time lord behind atomic clocks

Judah Levine, known as the nation's Time Lord, works at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to maintain time standards. NIST uses atomic clocks, the most accurate timekeeping devices, to synchronize time across various systems like phones and power grids. Judah and his team developed a system to enhance atomic clock accuracy in the US. The video discusses the potential impact of atomic clock failure, which could disrupt technology and communication systems, though such an event is unlikely due to the presence of 400 atomic clocks in various labs.
