They don't actually attach clocks to the gold atoms because less than 1 gram is used in 20 years which is barely enough to plate one Rolex. :o) It is the various calorimeters that confirm the clock, if it could be attached it would have to be gamma corrected to agree with the measured energy. << Computer simulation of two gold ions immediately after colliding head-on at an energy of 200 billion electron volts (200 GeV). >> http://www.bnl.gov/rhic/heavy_ion.htm << Since the COM frame (also called center-of-momentum frame) is chosen as the frame to measure the mass of most compound objects, Einstein's mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc2 continues to apply in these circumstances. >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_mass Sue... > > > > > ...And this machine confirms the prediction. > > >http://www.bnl.gov/rhic/ > >http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RHIC > > > Sue... > > >> Harald-

That page explains in many different ways why the twin paradox is *not* a paradox, why it's perfectly consistent. -- Daryl McCullough Ithaca, NY |
