[time-nuts] Re: thermodynamics of time keeping

[Lewis Masters]

A more approachable discussion of the arxiv paper can be found in the online magazine Quanta:
https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-new-science-of-clocks-prompts-questions-about-the-nature-of-time-20210831/

One quote from the article may not please some time-nuts:  
They found that an ideal clock — one that ticks with perfect periodicity — would burn an infinite amount of energy and produce infinite entropy, which isn’t possible. Thus, the accuracy of clocks is fundamentally limited.

A fundamental relationship between thermodynamics and time keeping has recently been discovered.  These articles in the public domain discuss the matter.
