   The rate at which time passes is dependent on
   the amount of mass/gravity/energy where the
   clock is located. That depends on the Earth,
   what's under it, the moon, the sun, the planets,
   nearby galaxies for that matter. As such if you
   have even two clocks, with enough decimal points,
   even on the same shelf they WILL start to diverge.

   Hmm ... now how the two clocks affect each OTHER,
   that could be interesting :-)
