Neat! Is there a page explaining a bit more about it?
I was summarizing the Hafele-Keating experiment to my brother the other day --
just bullshitting, really, 'cause I barely know what's going on here myself --
so it occurs to me to wonder. Acceleration is probably the cause, but a
mechanical effect in the oscillator, "something tightened in cockpit"? Surely
not a relativistic effect. Not at 18 inches. (This is where we figure out that
I grasp the concepts, but can't actually do the problems.)
