Time And Clocks

About

In this classic Physical Science Study Committee (PSSC) film, MIT professor John G. King discusses the concept of time and shows various devices used to measure and record time intervals from 1 second down to 10 seconds. He points out that the accuracy of a clock can be judged only by comparison with another clock. The question of what time is, psychologically and physically, is raised briefly as well as the question of a possible limit to the subdivision of time. The film features noted stop-motion photographer Dr. Harold "Doc" Edgerton. Cinematography by Bert Van Bork. For more on PSSC films, visit http://www.afana.org/psscfilms.htm
