I'm not late ! Time Dilation during my drive makes me ON Time !!!! - cbelt3 - 09-24-2010
Arstechnica has the time critical information
"Even when the clocks were moving apart at 22.4 miles per hour, it was possible to observe a change in frequency of approximately 45x10-17. This is exactly in agreement with the predictions of special relativity."

The article further notes that time moves faster upstairs... so those lovers on the first floor have longer to enjoy those 'special moments' :booty:

Well...you may be able to legitimately claim you're on time, but the people you're visiting will also be able to legitimately claim that you're late. The beauty (or frustration) of time dilation is that the time on your watch is going to be different than the time on the watch of the person you're visiting if you (1) moved relative to them, and/or (2) were closer or farther from a gravitational source than them.
