Question by Christina C: Is it possible to manipulate “atomic clocks”?
I was sitting in class one day and noticed the atomic clock hanging on the wall. Well, my mind began to wonder, and I thought about how it receives signals. Is it possible to interfere with the clocks, or even manipulate the time on them with a remote device?
It seems like if it were kind of easy to do, you would hear of kids everywhere speeding up class.
So is it possible to do such things, and how would one go about doing this?

Answer by lare
so-called atomic clocks actually run from an internal crystal timer. they incorporate a 60 KHz receiver that tunes a radio data signal broadcast from Ft Collins Colorado. The clock uses the data signal to correct its internal time keeping, so that it will stay in step with the reference. Because the data is digital, it can send info on leap seconds, savings time changes, UTC hour, day and year.
the only jamming you might be able to accomplish is to cause enough interference to block reception, but that usually is done only once a day, late at night when school is closed. When the clock misses an automatic update, it displays an error flag.
the old fashioned “IBM” school clocks were made to synchronize to the central controller, usually in the principals office. if you could trick the controller, all the school clocks would change in step.
