All this is saying is that using extremely high energy lasers or some other high energy mechanism to keep coherence, is going to necessarily cause a local time dilation due to the high density of energy.
Highly dense energy/matter warps the space around it.
Its not like we cant take this into account though in our measuring devices. If they are measuring accurately and extremely extremely often, any error will accumulate so that even a normal clock is more accurate. Therefore its not hard to tune within reason. Error needs ti approach 0 as number of measurements per second approaches infinite.
- M_Grey 10y agoThey seem to be saying that any measurement regime, in achieving the necessary accuracy, will cause arbitrarily large measurement uncertainties. The authors at least, seem to think that this is fundamental, but as you say, it might just be a limitation of our current notion of a highly accurate clock. It might not matter though, if this is another in a long line of essentially non-falsifiable ideas.
