Time Dilation Data Sets: Get Graphs & Experiments Results

Click For Summary
Kevin is seeking experimental data on time dilation to create graphs illustrating the relationship between velocity and time dilation, specifically looking for low-level data suitable for undergraduate studies. He has not found relevant information through Google and is requesting assistance from the forum. Another user notes that while the Lorentz formula provides theoretical insights, Kevin is specifically interested in actual experimental data. The discussion emphasizes the need for accessible resources that can demonstrate time dilation through empirical evidence. Help in locating such data sets would be beneficial for Kevin's studies.

Hi guys, I'll start by saying that I've properly looked on Google, and have come up with nothing.

I'm looking for a table of data from any experiment that shows time dilation within the data. Just something I can produce a graph from and SHOW the relationship between velocity and time dilation.

I'm just about to go into undergraduate study - so a low level experiment's data will suffice.

Any help pointing me in the right direction will be greatly appreiciated, thank you.

-Kevin

I imagine you got that from the Lorentz formula but I think iamBevan wants actual experimental data.
 

Thread 'Am I understanding the concept of proper frame of reference?'

MOVING CLOCKS In this section, we show that clocks moving at high speeds run slowly. We construct a clock, called a light clock, using a stick of proper lenght ##L_0##, and two mirrors. The two mirrors face each other, and a pulse of light bounces back and forth betweem them. Each time the light pulse strikes one of the mirrors, say the lower mirror, the clock is said to tick. Between successive ticks the light pulse travels a distance ##2L_0## in the proper reference of frame of the clock...
