If it is accurate, a clock does NOT need to be adjusted

The speed of the Earth's rotation, or the tilt of it's axis, or any thing else under the sun has nothing to do with the passage of time.

If the Solar system disappeared, or (heaven forbid) each and every SOC vanished, time would still march on.

A second is a second is a second.
