# Get current (logically quantized) time

``

    current_time

Returns the current logical time. This is a ‘wall-clock’ time which should typically be pretty similar to Time.now but quantised to a nearby sleep point in the thread. May be quite different to Time.now within a time_warp!

Unlike `Time.now`, Multiple calls to `current_time` with no interleaved calls to `sleep` or `sync` will return the same value.

Introduced in v3.0

## Examples

# Example 1
``
    puts current_time

    # 2017-03-19 23:37:57 +0000
# Example 2
``
    puts "A", Time.now.to_f
    puts "B", __system_thread_locals.get(:sonic_pi_spider_time).to_f
    puts "C", Time.now.to_f
    puts "D", __system_thread_locals.get(:sonic_pi_spider_time).to_f
    puts "E", __system_thread_locals.get(:sonic_pi_spider_time).to_f
