"[...] As a collector of vintage and modern atomic clocks, I discovered it was possible, using gear found at home, to convert our family minivan into a mobile high-precision time laboratory, complete with batteries, power converters, time interval counters, three children, and three cesium clocks [...]

"[...] Furthermore, by being at high altitude for the weekend, we experienced more time together, relatively speaking. It was the best extra 22 nanoseconds I've ever spent with the kids.

"So, yes, not only do we live in a time when atomic clocks are altimeters, but when relativity is child's play."
