Over the past 5 years, researchers have discovered the fundamental limits of timekeeping through studies of the simplest conceivable clocks. They've mapped out new relationships between accuracy, information, complexity, energy, and entropy, the quantity whose incessant rise in the universe is closely associated with the arrow of time.

## Explanation

Say "5 years" as "five years." Read the list "accuracy, information, complexity, energy, and entropy" with an even pause at each comma. Stress "entropy" as "EN-truh-pee" and "incessant" as "in-SES-unt." Pause before "the quantity whose incessant rise," then read to "the arrow of time" smoothly.

## Hints

- Focus on the relationship between energy and entropy mentioned in the text.
- Ensure your pacing remains steady while pronouncing technical terms like 'entropy' and 'chronometry'.
