[Phys-L] Re: "moving clock runs slower"

Yes; two HP clocks one w/ a plane ticket another for its keeper.  It's a
bit difficult to fold in the reduced g, the various accelerations, etc.
   But the result was + w/in the exptl. error.

bc, who has the Science (AAAS) article somewhere in the garage.

p.s. but semantic bickering is fun.
