Fundamental bound for time measurements and minimum uncertainty clocks
Resumen:
We present a simple argument leading to a fundamental minimum uncertainty in the determination of times. It only relies in the uncertainty principle and time dilation in a gravitational field. It implies any attempt to measure times will have a fundamental level of uncertainty. Implications are briefly outlined.
