   There are two types of analog clocks. The first stops on every   
    second, and the other is always moving.  What's interesting about   
    that is that our actual experience of time is a mixture of   
    both.   
      
   There is a thought experiment called Schrödinger's cat. It's kind   
    of a good way to illustrate what I call the quantum   
    clock.   
      
   To explain let us decide on our frame of reference. We will use a   
    24 hours. For the experiment we will observe a cat for one day,   
    and then put it in a box with a poison dish of milk. We close the   
    box and leave the cat in it for another 24 hours, and then take   
    the cat out again on the third day.   
      
   We know with a great deal of certainty that our cat can't resist   
    the poison dish of milk. However, we have restricted ourselves to   
    observing thus experiment in quantifiable time units.   
      
   This means that while the cat was inside the box it was both alive   
    and dead. Literally.   
      
   This may not just be a thought experiment. After all, how much   
    "time" do we experience in a single moment even right now. Life   
    isn't a chess board to be easily planned out or recorded.   
      
   Einstein was a clock maker, but his greatest achievement was   
    creating the Photo Electric Effect. This invention took light and   
    converted it to electricity. It also could be used to build what   
    I call the quantum clock.   
      
   A solar panel would be connected to a digital multimeter. The   
    multimeter would then be monitored and recorded by a computer.   
    This design could be placed in many locations. We could then   
    observe the constant rotation of the earth and it's relationship   
    to the sun in a whole new way!
