Most accurate cosmic clocks show unexpected instability Millisecond pulsars are the most accurate natural clocks in the known Universe. But not only do they glitch, changing their period, but their pulse profiles change. By quite a lot, too. bigthink.com/starts-with-a-b…

Most accurate cosmic clocks show unexpected instability

Millisecond pulsars are the Universe's most accurate natural clocks. A pulse change, thought rare, just occurred twice in the closest one.
