<p>The notion of time in general relativity must arise from an internal clock, i.e., a degree of freedom in the gravitational theory internal to the system that can serve the role of a physical clock. One such internal notion of time is the York time, corresponding to constant extrinsic curvature slicing of spacetime. We study the Hartle-Hawking wavefunction of asymptotically <i>AdS</i>₂ JT gravity as a function of York time. Using both canonical quantization and the JT gravity path integral, we explicitly calculate this wavefunction and show that it satisfies a Schrodinger equation with respect to York time. We find the corresponding York Hamiltonian, which turns out to be manifestly Hermitian. Our analysis cleanly avoids operator ordering ambiguities. The dependence of the wavefunction on York time should be thought of as emerging from a unitary basis transformation of the gravitational length basis states used to compute the wavefunction, and not from time evolution of the state in the dual boundary theory.</p>
