This project gives Australia the opportunity to be involved in the world's best time comparison experiment ever conceived using the European Space Agency's ultra-accurate atomic clocks in space and the best international network of ground clocks. It strengthens collaboration between the University of Western Australia and world elite metrology institutes, including Paris Observatory, Ecole Normale Superior, the National Measurement Institute, the French Space Agency, and Humboldt, Stanford and Durham Universities. It involves cutting edge research that will test relativity, particle physics and fundamental constants that may well lead to fundamental changes to our laws of Nature and the Universe.

这个项目使澳大利亚有机会参与世界上最好的时间比较实验，使用欧洲航天局在太空中的超精确原子钟和最好的国际地面时钟网络。它加强了西澳大利亚大学与世界精英计量机构之间的合作，包括巴黎天文台、高等师范学院、国家测量研究所、法国航天局以及洪堡大学、斯坦福大学和杜伦大学。它涉及最前沿的研究，将测试相对论、粒子物理学和基本常数，这很可能导致我们的自然定律和宇宙的根本变化。
