Do materials have temporal elasticity?

If I take a spring and move one end at a different velocity then the other tension will build in the spring and when released it will return to its natural shape.

What If I take an object and put one end at the edge of a centrifuge and the other at the center. Acceleration and velocity will cause the end at the outside to age more slowly then the end on the inside. If this material were radioactive the age difference could be measured by radiation levels at each end. Is there any sort of elastic property that would draw the two ends back toward the same age once the centrifuge stops?

There is going to be the exact same elastic property... there will be a centrifugal/centripetal force stretching the spring; when it stops spinning, it will relax back towards equilibrium.

1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...

In Philippe G. Ciarlet's book 'An introduction to differential geometry', He gives the integrability conditions of the differential equations like this: $$ \partial_{i} F_{lj}=L^p_{ij} F_{lp},\,\,\,F_{ij}(x_0)=F^0_{ij}. $$ The integrability conditions for the existence of a global solution ##F_{lj}## is: $$ R^i_{jkl}\equiv\partial_k L^i_{jl}-\partial_l L^i_{jk}+L^h_{jl} L^i_{hk}-L^h_{jk} L^i_{hl}=0 $$ Then from the equation: $$\nabla_b e_a= \Gamma^c_{ab} e_c$$ Using cartesian basis ## e_I...
