And especially to the pulsar, a phenomenon found only in the deepest reaches of space (the nearest yet discovered is 280 light years away, which represents so many miles that we gave up calculating). Pulsars are white-hot stars emitting electromagnetic radiation in extremely regular pulses, making them some of the most accurate clocks in the universe. In the Tempus, the pulsar theme is rendered in the roof decoration featuring fibre-optic lighting and hand-embroidered patterns.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-107791 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/so-secret\/rolls-royce-how-to-rewrite-time\/attachment\/p90413948-lowres-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/P90413948-lowRes-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/P90413948-lowRes-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/P90413948-lowRes-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/so-secret\/rolls-royce-how-to-rewrite-time\/attachment\/p90413949-lowres-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/P90413949-lowRes-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/P90413949-lowRes-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/P90413949-lowRes-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/so-secret\/rolls-royce-how-to-rewrite-time\/attachment\/p90413954-lowres-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/P90413954-lowRes-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/P90413954-lowRes-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/P90413954-lowRes-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Another aspect of time \u2013 the illusion of its standing still \u2013 is captured in the fascia which has been transformed into a sculpture, the <em>Frozen Flow of Time<\/em>.
