UTC has leap seconds. We can do better. PTP/TAI for lyfe.

A perfectly logical clock would use a radio broadcast to count off seconds since a predefined epoch. Put a few of them way up high, so more people can see it, and make them so astonishingly precise that you could tell where you are just by listening.
