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 by 0.01 seconds per year. This may not seem much but the clocks on the satellites need to take this into account in order to stay in time with clocks on earth.

@Brasharful Go to the Wikipedia page called "Tests of general relativity".

@supertrinko Please, show me. I would like to see these other experiments, thank you.

@ThePariky Every GPS in the world is proof that relativity does work. When they build them they have to take relativity into account, if they didn't, they wouldn't be accurate.

But of course, a YouTuber can destroy in a single comment, what scientists have proven over decades of experiments. You really think they didn't take those things into account when performing this experiment?

Still think you're right? Explain "its the circuits and its elements that are running the clock on the plane."

@ThePariky -If mass dilation isn't real, why do particle accelerators have to ramp up the magnetic field strength in a ratio to the mass of the particle being accelerated and it's increase in velocity. It's increased inertia is as if it's mass had increased, indistinguishable from one another.

@sqwale7 Yes. But in order to travel significatly into the future you would need to travel very very fast round something with a very large mass, such as a pulsar or black hole. then if you sat on your spacecraft for say 10 years travelling at close to the speed of light... when you return to earth it will be maybe 100 years into the future.

[sqwale7]

isnt this proof you can travel into the future?

@ThePariky These theories are shown by many experiments and not just this video itself, they aren't empty ideas but proven ones.

time dilation is the most stupidest idea ever along with the mass dilation and length contractions. people have to stop taking everything they hear as a fact and think outside the box and no...einstine didnt thin outside the box. if you really think about it, its the circuits and its elements that are running the clock on the plane. Have they ever thought about looking into that and how maybe a gravitational field effects circuits and hence the time delay?

look a dream. Time is relative - as Einstein said.

Time dialation theory doesnt prove time is not constant it just proves that nothing is constant enough to use as an accurate measure of even intevals of time. Time is a concept. It is consistent because we make it consistent. It doesnt matter that atomic particles decay slower when moving at a faster rate of speed. This just means speed is somehow effecting how fast it decays. The same amount of time has passed at atomic particles at rest.
