Yes, in the experiments by Hafele and Keating in early 70-s=20

I am now old and senile, but don't I remember correctly that someone
performed the twin experiment with real clocks some time ago? ie fle=

Do I remember correctly?
What was the result?
Can we stop the incessant bickering about semantics and come to under=

a bit of physics from time to time?
