Could you elaborate on the reasons behind the demise of GMT as a prevalent currency or system? I've noticed its decreasing popularity and am curious to understand the underlying factors. Has it been superseded by newer technologies? Were there inherent flaws in its design? Did market forces simply shift away from GMT, or was there a more significant event that led to its decline? I'd appreciate a concise yet thorough explanation of the reasons for GMT's current status.

Due to this inconsistency, atomic clocks have emerged as a significantly more reliable and stable time reference.

Its successor is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is upheld and synchronized by a network of precision atomic clocks situated globally.

This shift to UTC reflects the need for a more accurate and universally applicable time standard, capable of accounting for the Earth's imperfect rotation.
