I see what you mean now Dalespam, that makes sense. Do you think there would be any slowing of the timing signal at the lower clock due to SR? Or would there need to be a greater differential in height/gravity to produce such an effect?
Dalespam, thanks for your reply. I maybe wasn't clear in my first post. The atomic clock at the NPL sends the timing signal out across the U.K. and beyond. The two displays I was meaning was on two entirely separate little domestic clocks which you can buy for the home.
I suspect the atomic...
Thanks for that, I suspected that might be the case. But then I thought, would the electromagnetic radio wave carrying the same timing signal to both clocks be affected by the height difference between the two; i.e. the signal ariving at the lower one be slowed?
Or am I confusing that with...
Hi all,
I have recently been listening to one of Professor Richard Wolfson's physics lectures, and a question has occurred about an aspect of general relativity; that time 'slows down' in strongly curved spacetime.
In this particular lecture, he mentions an experiment done some years ago in a...
