Nov 23, 2014 at 21:30 | comment | added | tom | @CarlosFreites this question is about general relativity where there is time dilation in frames that are being accelerated. I agree with you that the effect will be very small, but it is an interesting question and if an atomic clock could be used to measure time it would probably show an effect - see the link for experiments where general relativity has been observed with atomic clocks. I don't think it is realistic here to centrifuge an atomic clock, but the idea of radioactive decay is interesting as a way of measuring time. | |
