No problem! Here's the information about the Precision Tests of Time Dilation with Atomic Clocks

What Was Tested?

Time dilation, a comerstone of special relativity, states that time maves slower for objects traveling at high speeds

This was tested using ultra-precise atomic clocks onboard fast-moxing planes and satellites.

Key Experiments

Hafele-Keating Expenment (1971)

Atomic clocks were flown around the world on commercial jets.

Result: Clocks onboard planes differed by -273 nanoseconds. matching relativity's predictions

GPS Satellites:

Atomic clocks onboard satellites move faster than those on Earth by -38 microseconds/day due to general and special relativity

These experiments directly confirmed Einstein's theory and are critical for technologies like GPS navigation, which relies on
