It costs about $600, a far cry from the $7,000 price tag for some standard...

Last summer, when the regularly beeping signals of pulsars were first detected coming from outer space, Queens College Physicist Banesh Hoffmann figured that they might supply an answer. Though their source was unknown, the precisely spaced radio pulses coming from light-years away seemed to be the distant clock needed to measure earth time. In a letter to Nature, Hoffmann suggested that the pulse rate of pulsars be taken...
