We take lots of things for granted in this world; GPS, the internet and of course particle accelerators (well, maybe not particle accelerators!). However, none of these things would be possible without atomic clocks.
In this video Dom explains how they work with some fascinating factoids to boot!

    The best explanation I've found so far. Also very accurate, most other sources are not. They say they "9,192,631,770 vibrations of Caesium atoms" which is incorrect and very confusing. It is "9,192,631,770 oscillations of the radiation that excites caesium atoms". Thanks for this!

    Excellent video! But something's not clear: how do the convert the oscillation of the quartz crystal (32,768Hz) to the frequency of the cesium atom's resonance frequency (9,192,631,770Hz) in the radio wave transmitter? At 4:02 you say the transmitter will transmit at 32kHz, but to 'excite' the cesium atoms the frequency needs to be it's resonance frequency (what you show at 4:33). Is there a missing step?

    There's something I don't understand 100% here. The fact that Caesium resonates at that frequency and that frequency is exactly 1 second blows my mind. I understand that that frequency was defined to be a second but, when they decided to make that specific frequency a second, they used their previous definition of a second to come up with that number, correct?... I'm just wondering... Did they come up with that number AND by coincidence it was also the resonant frequency of Caesium, or did they have a close number and decided to round it to the Caesium's resonant frequency?
