January 15, 2019 Susquehanna Section Dinner/Presentation: Clocks and the Evolution of Timekeeping

---

---

You are invited to attend the Tuesday Jan. 15 Susquehanna Section dinner and a presentation by Gregory Weaver from Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory on the timely topic of clocks and the evolution of timekeeping.

Clocks and the Evolution of Timekeeping - The historical interaction of human social development and timekeeping capability is routinely examined, and never understated. At its fundamental, the drive for improved commerce, trade, national security, and human transportation is supported by the evolution of clock technology. This talk will span across the centuries of scientific discovery and engineering innovation in precision timekeeping devices, moving from the pendulum to GPS satellite atomic clocks, to give a moving perspective on the interdependence for improved timekeeping and technological advancement. An emphasis on the impact to navigation will be maintained  throughout the talk.
