Atomic clock flight Experiment

¡¡¡¡¡¡In 1971, two scientists from the U.S. who are Hai Feile (JCHafele) and Kaiding (REKeating), compared timing rate of different height with several cesium atomic clocks. On the ground, there was one used as a reference, and the remains ware carried by civilian aircrafts into the air of 10,000 meters above the equator sailing around the Earth. The results included not only timing errors caused by the gravity frequency shift, but also time delay relative to the inertial reference system. The flying speed is the combination of the one to the ground and the one of the earth's rotation. So, the East - Western and the West - Eastern flight kinematics effects are not the same. The following table shows the experimental results.

¡¡¡¡From the results we can find that the time delay caused by the eastern fight and the west flight is not the same. It is pointed out that: when the flight is from the west to the east - west, the delaying amount should be greater because the clock speed should be added by the one of the earth's rotation. From the clock¡¯s absolute speed, some one would point out : the experiment matches the special theory of relativity in the range of 10%.

       It must be pointed out:
¡¡  1. If the moving clock which toward the east is different with that to the west, it is clear that it violates the special theory of relativity, by contraries, does not accord with the special theory of relativity.
     2. There is evidence to show that the Earth's magnetic field affect the atomic clock, it makes the atomic clock faster or slower in intensity and direction.
    3. Also, there is evidence to show that the atomic clock has something to do with the gravity field. If the direction of the gravity is different, the atomic clock is diferent.
    4. The atomic clock also has relations with the acceleration, and the impact is very obvious.
     But , above experiment did not consider such factors.Therefore that is unconvincing.
