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

CrTo :

🔹 What Was Tested?

Time dilation, a cornerstone of special relativity, states that time moves slower for objects traveling at high speeds. 🚀⏳

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

🔹 Key Experiments

1️⃣ Hafele-Keating Experiment (1971):

Atomic clocks were flown around the world on commercial jets.

Result: Clocks onboard planes differed by ~273 nanoseconds, matching relativity’s predictions. ✈✅

2️⃣ GPS Satellites:

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

🔹 Impact on Physics

These experiments directly confirmed Einstein’s theory and are critical for technologies like GPS navigation, which relies on relativistic corrections. 🛰🔧

✨ QUIZ TIME ✨
What did atomic clock experiments confirm?
a) Time flows slowed
