Hi folks, I'm a lay person so my depth of knowledge may not be the best. Apologies in advance if I come across a little uncouth!
Off the top of my head, I can only think of the various space programs (keeping sattelites spaceborne etc.) and the GPS system as fields of endeavour where relativistic maths/physics has been put to practical use. Can anyone point out any other areas in which relativity has been put to practical use for the benefit of mankind?
Thanks in advance,
