I went to double check, because I know that’s how atomic clocks work, or maybe there is a now tech I was not aware of but atomic clocks always worked by looking at atomic decay…

WTF

I Swear WTF

I was 100% completely and absolutely wrong. That is not how they have ever worked, and I was sure of that. Like I have a STEM PhD (not physics) and I was sure I looked how they worked at some point and learned it.

But I was extremely wrong, like how TF did I get that idea from and why the fuck have I held on it. Did I dream it? Did someone told me that as a joke and I fell for it? was I learning about decay and half life and I ask myself if that is how they worked and instead of checking I just remembered that as an explanation and not a question???

I feel like a Mandela effect, I would be more conforted knowing that I jumped to a parallel dimension. God. Now I am nervous what other concepts I am 100% confident about yet am full of shit.

Thanks for correcting me, going to have some serious existential crisis, adios
