Atomic clocks, space-time variation of fundamental constants, violation of fundamental symmetries and tests of unification theories

该项目将帮助澳大利亚在现代科学的重要领域中处于领先地位：测试统一所有物理力和宇宙学的理论，探索自然基本力的变化，以及制造超精密的原子钟。原子钟被用于所有导航(目前的GPS和未来的伽利略)系统和许多其他重要的应用。对学生和研究人员的培训，再加上丰富的国际合作项目，将确保澳大利亚处于有利地位，为即将到来的物理学和宇宙学革命做好准备。

The project will help to establish Australia among the leaders in important areas of modern science: tests of theories unifying all physical forces and cosmology, search for variation of the fundamental forces of Nature and making super precise atomic clocks. The atomic clocks are used in all navigation (current GPS and future Galileo) systems and many other important applications. The training of students and researchers combined with a rich international collaborative program will insure that Australia is well placed to prepare for the approaching revolution in physics and cosmology.
