And who’s going to be around in 100,000,000 years to say that the time is wrong?

with all this accuracy, why don't my phone, laptop, computer, and GPS synch and show the same time?

I grew up in Denver and it was common to call the number for the clock to set your own clocks. You could hear seconds ticking off, with an occasional one second pause. As best I can recall, a lady's voice would announce at the tone, the time will be---. Did other people all around call it? I have to see if that phone number's still available.

I just looked this clock up on google and it very big and ugly so I wouldn’t want it in my living room no matter how accurate it is
