Certain Quote by Dean Lombardi
“Those clocks are sophisticated instruments that calculate time by measuring electrical charges called coulombs -- given the rapidity and volume of electrons that move through the measuring device the calibrator must adjust at certain points which was the delay you see -- the delay is just recalibrating for the clock moving too quickly during the 10 -- 10ths of a second before the delay -- this insures that the actual playing time during a period is exactly 20 minutes That is not an opinion -- that is science -- amazing devise quite frankly.”
About This Quote
Source Speech: Technical explanation, unknown source
The quote explains how precise clocks use electrical charge measurements and periodic recalibration to maintain exact timing, ensuring a 20‑minute interval despite rapid electron flow.
In simple terms: Clocks measure time via electrical charges and adjust to stay accurate.
Key Takeaway
Ensure devices are regularly calibrated for precision.
