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

[Anthony Lapinski <anthony_lapinski@PDS.ORG>]

Yes, this experiment was actually done. Both clocks were perfectly
synchronized on the ground. I though that one was put in a jet flown
eastward, the other flown westward. Or maybe one was kept at rest. Either
way, the one with the faster motion did run slower. Still hard to
believe...
