Attached are two diagrams. One describing Moore's law, the other describing the development of atomic clocks since the 50's.

Is there a connection between these diagrams, not in the strict graph-math equivalence sense, but in the sense that conclusions regarding atomic clocks future accuracy advancements, can be derived, in a similar way, to that of Moore's law?

This is a good example of the misuse of statistics.

Just because there is an apparent correlation between two things when they are graphed does not mean that one causes the other or that the correlation will continue with new data.

New techniques for better atomic clocks may or may not be found. This depends on such techniques existing and clever enough people being able to find them if they do.
