Carlin remain as funny as ever.

But if we should go into hitech metrology, NIST's F1 is the current 
leader of the pack. It's being replaced by F2. So that we'd lose an 
estimated one second per 133 million years. At the same time they're 
building systems based on mode-locked lasers upon single photonic 
crystals, with accuracy 4x that.

Quite naturally even NTPv5 falls short of that. Which is why I referred 
to GPS time+NTP, as your time reference. In a production environment a 
GPS-synched master clock plus IEEE's version 2 of "Standard for a 
Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked Measurement and 
Control Systems" (IEEE 1588-2008) might finally get you into the realm 
of realm of substantially sub-frame clock synchro over at least an 
extended LAN. ;)
