A broken clock is right twice a day, but a clock running backwards is right four times a day.
This only works with 1-dimensional time though.
Luckily we don’t build clocks for n-dimensional time
A broken clock is right twice a day, but a running clock is probably never right.
At this point you get into a philosophical discussion about what “right” really means
I’m really picky when it comes to clocks. They need to be ±1 minute. If they aren’t it really starts to bother me.
Two wrong don’t make a right, but three left turns do.
time dilation ftw!
My grandfather clock is correct* about once a week when I wind and correct it
*It must be correct as it’s very slightly fast (less so than can be fixed with a quarter turn off the pendulum screw) and I set it slightly in the past
Depends how fast is going backwards
Also depends how the other clock is broken, if we’re this picky about it.
That’s why the correct term is ‘a stopped clock’ not a broken one.
