gravitaatiokello
Gravitaatiokello, meaning "gravity clock" in Finnish, is a conceptual timekeeping device that leverages the principles of general relativity to measure time. Unlike traditional mechanical or quartz clocks that rely on oscillations or fixed frequencies, a gravitaatiokello would theoretically measure time based on the influence of gravity on spacetime. The passage of time is known to be affected by gravitational fields; stronger gravity causes time to slow down relative to regions with weaker gravity. A gravitaatiokello would exploit this phenomenon, perhaps by measuring the precise rate at which a clock mechanism is affected by a specific gravitational potential.
The practical realization of a gravitaatiokello remains a theoretical challenge. Building such a device would require
