UBT is calibrated through the use of
bosonic clock. Bosonic clocks use timekeeper bosons, which are large subatomic particles which change over time and can be entangled in pairs to provide this measurement no matter how far apart each boson is. In other words, the timekeeper boson ignores location and the warping effects of gravity or velocity that other methods of keeping time would be affected by.
At the
Timekeeper Institute pairs of timekeeper bosons are synchronized with a "master boson" before being entangled. One boson is encased in an inert crystal, forming a bosonic clock, and shipped to its final destination, while the other is preserved in the boson vault. The bosonic clock can be
observed once, providing an accurate representation of the master boson's state (and thus the Universal Boson Time). Once the bosonic clock is observed, it is decohered from the state of the master boson and is no longer useful as a calibration device.
What a great article :D I really like the time competition going on, makes it a lot of fun. Will the winning moon/planet get a price for having the most accurate clock?
The prize is smug self-satisfaction! Thank you!
