A sensation has spread around the scientific world: time is evaporating from our universe.

So far, this is only a hypothesis of Spanish astrophysicists, but the fact that the passage of time on Earth and in space is different has already been proven by scientists.

Under the influence of gravity, time flows slower, but accelerates when moving away from the planet.

The task of synchronizing terrestrial and cosmic time is performed by hydrogen frequency standards, which are also called atomic clocks.

The first such watches appeared in the middle of the XX century simultaneously with cosmonautics, and today their main consumers are navigation and digital communication.

The plot starred Sergey Ryazansky, Sergey Popov, Nikolai Koshelyaevsky, Nikolai Demidov, the head of the department of CJSC "Time-Ch" Sergey Medvedev, Boris Sakharov, Yuri Kovalev.
