from the article:Holger Müller, a physicist at the University of 
California, Berkeley, says that the study shows that relativity is no 
longer confined to experiments working with huge speeds and distances. 
"This is mainly a grand technological feat, but has an almost 
philosophical component," he says. "It shows that relativity is 
something tangible."
