Solution: Universal Coordinated Time (UTC):

· Based on the number of transitions PER second of the cesium 133 atom (PRETTY accurate).

· At present, the real time is taken as the average of some 50 cesium-clocks around the world.

· Introduces a LEAP second from time to time to COMPENSATE that days are getting longer.

UTC is broadcast through short wave radio and satellite.

· Satellites can give an accuracy of about ±0.5 ms.
