A team of researchers at the University of Tokyo has developed a new type optical atomic clock, which boasts 100 quadrillionth second accuracy (one quadrillion has 15 zeros). Optical lattice clock is the brain child of Professor Katori, who said that his device notes million atoms simultaneously while regular atomic clocks measure time using a single atom.

Professor explains:

“(…) If one watches is one centimeter higher than other watches above hours depends on the lesser gravity, so it goes faster. This difference can be read out in 18 decimal clock is the average processing time per second. Until now, the clock has been seen as tools to work together to synchronize time. "But with a clock like this, on the contrary, we can understand that time passes at different rates depending on the time and place of the clock".

The idea is to eventually use the new clock to improve GPS (based on atomic clocks, delivering 14-or 15-digit precision) or for predicting earthquakes, for example.
