Time dilation experiment

An experiment using civilian aircraft and atomic clocks to provide evidence for Einsteins time dilation theory. Time dilation applies to satellites that orbit the earth as they move forward in time...

I would like to see if two of these atomic clocks would show a difference in time when exposed to different environments while at the same altitude & being stationary. One compared with different temperatures, one compared with more radiation than the other. I believe the time dilation will be found by these as well. Let's not jump the gun with only one experiment and stop there. What fun would that be?

Have we limited our ability to understand time by setting restrictions to it. Is the 24 hour clock inhibiting our chance to acknowledge time as another basic element. The Hubble telescope (and others) are said to look back in time due to distance. What if we were on the other end of the telescope looking at us?

Yikes -- they just broke FAA rules there! All passengers MUST turn of any electronic gadget they carry COMPLETELY during take-off and landing... :-P

You go to youtube and argue that you're right, while you haven't read anything about topic.

If only you at least read basic article on wikipedia. Or googled time dilation - there are tons and tons of material.

See your message box.

No. If everyone else's clock is running more slowly than yours, that basically means you are slowing down time for yourself, which would not get you anywhere. You just have it backwards.
Oh right, I'm so sorry for screaming my head off. I should really get some counseling.

You don't obviously understand basic idea of relativity. But as you wish, if you want to live in your own lies where time actually speed up, so be it.

Time looks sped up, because you yourself are actually moving more slowly. It' pretty much the first thing they tell you about time dilation. As you go faster, everything slows down, including brain functions and heart rate etc. This means that the everything outside you is moving more quickly than you.

You don't see what relativity is about.
You assume your frame is absolute - or the correct one. While your frame is just one of many others and its not "the reality".

Where you're wrong: time speed up & everything outside speed up.

Where you're right: time is slowing down. As you go faster - everything go slower, including all processes. Let me stress that this is from observer's point of view!!!

Okay you're just slightly misunderstanding what I'm saying.

When I say "looks sped up," I mean comparatively. I know that time never actually speeds up, I mean that it is moving faster than the object that is accelerating/the time of the object accelerating is moving more slowly than outside world.
