![]() ![]() ![]() The paper was published on September 16 in Physical Review Letters. “It is of utmost importance to verify it with the best possible accuracy.” But the mathematics describing the time-dilation effect are “fundamental to all physical theories”, says Thomas Udem, a physicist at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany, who was not involved in the research. One of the consequences of this effect is that a person travelling in a high-speed rocket would age more slowly than people back on Earth.įew scientists doubt that Einstein was right. ![]() The work is the most stringent test yet of this ‘time-dilation’ effect, which Einstein predicted. Experiments at a particle accelerator in Germany confirm that time moves slower for a moving clock than for a stationary one. Physicists have verified a key prediction of Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity with unprecedented accuracy. ![]()
