“The Ultimate Clock” by Charles Petit, Science News October 22, 2011 Volume 180 #9, pp. 22. The main focus of this article is to observe the keeping of precise time through the physics that have been studied over the years. The article addresses how the importance of knowing time is more important than understanding the definition. Chris Oates is a member of a worldwide cadre working with devices at the frontier of clockmaking. His team’s clock loses time at a rate of about one second every

On my 16th birthday, I woke up late around 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon, to the sound of my parents arguing. They were being louder than usual, and my mom sounded like she had been crying. I ran downstairs to see what the hell was going on. I stood at the base of the stairs and looked my father in the face, I could hardly recognize him, he looked as if he hadn't slept in day, and his hair was greasy like someone wiped it with oil. He was wearing the same clothes he had worn yesterday, his dress
Clocks are handy devices that have been around since the sixteenth century. They consist of two hands: the short hand dictates the hour of the day, and the long hand determines the minutes. Although the time of day may differ from country to country, clocks are universal instruments that tick at a constant rate; time is consistent and does not speed up, nor does it slow down. The inconsistent rates of the “ticking” of the clock, is one of the many reasons why the theory of Molecular Clocks is so
Natalia Gomez Vazquez 3/3/14 I found Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone the most moving poem in this album. My first impressions were that the poem would depict the raw emotions during one moment of change. I realized that the poem would concern love of some form. “Cut off the telephone” helped me infer the aspect of isolation this poem would posses. I noticed this poem has 4 quatrains and is an elegy.

He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest
in poetry. Wysfan H. Auden’s “Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone” is one of the literary poems that are inspired by love. Beyond its subject of love, however, the language, the voice, and the imagery in the poem also suggest that the speaker’s life becomes hopeless after the speaker’s love is gone forever. To foreshadow something separate and fierce to the poem’s speaker, a series of contrasting words are used at the beginning. Life is symbolized in the clock, and communication is symbolized
