SpaceX Launches Atomic Clocks With Lasers To Test Einstein Theory

The European Space Agency has launched two atomic clocks on a SpaceX rocket to the ISS to test Einstein's theory of relativity by redefining time measurement.

The take-off will take place at 4:15 a.m. local time (10:20 a.m. in Paris) of NASA's Kennedy Space Center on the peninsula of Cape Canaveral, Florida.... Article Atomic clocks soon sent into space to test the theory of relativity appeared first on Current Values.

An atomic clock was sent Monday, April 21 to the International Space Station. Its goal: to test Albert Einstein's flagship theory. And perhaps discover a new physics.

Is time really going differently in space? Europe's new Super Watch Aces should show it – and examine Einstein's theory.

The ESA is bringing a special clock into space: The Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space (ACES) was transported to the ISS and will test the relativity theory there with unprecedented precision. The atomic clocks will lose only one second in 300 million years. (Continue reading)
