What is timesources?

What is timesources? First, please read the following statement:

Linux has several high resolution timesources to choose from, the fastest TSC (Time
Stamp Counter) unfortunately is not always reliable. Linux chooses TSC by default,
and during boot checks for inconsistencies, if found it switches to a slower safe
timesource.
