About this episode
Interesting Things with JC #1584: "The Hafele–Keating Experiment" – In 1971 four atomic clocks boarded commercial airliners and circled the Earth. When they returned, the clocks no longer matched those on the ground. The difference was measured in billionths of a second and confirmed Einstein’s prediction that motion and gravity change time.
