The Hemel Perfect Time Challenge

A statement on universal time and horology.

Hemel will transfer ownership of the company to any individual or group who can prove the existence of a perfectly universal clock.

A perfectly universal clock is defined as one that:

• Measures time identically in all gravitational fields
• Measures time identically at all velocities
• Produces identical readings regardless of reference frame

Proof must be experimentally reproducible and independently verifiable.

Such proof would contradict special and general relativity and overturn modern physics. To date, no such evidence exists.

The challenge has no expiration.

Hemel issues this challenge not as provocation, but as a statement of intellectual honesty. Mechanical watches do not measure absolute time. They measure time as it is locally experienced. We believe acknowledging this strengthens horology rather than weakening it.

Review and Verification

Any claim submitted under the Hemel Perfect Time Challenge must be experimentally reproducible and independently verifiable.

Evaluation will be conducted by a review committee consisting of a physicist, a horologist, and a legal representative.

Claims that rely on unverifiable assumptions, non-reproducible results, or purely theoretical assertions will not meet the standard of proof.

The challenge has no expiration and requires no purchase or participation fee.
