It's all a matter of time: Super-chill atomic clock could sniff gravitational waves, dark matter

If the accuracy of atomic clocks is dependent upon gravity (as just demonstrated), we may have a serious problem with the definition of time as that is currently defined using atomic clocks. And the rest of the SI is also rather relative because of this (the unit of length is derived from the unit of time by light speed).
