Letter: Slow up!

Published 2 February 2002

From Ronald William Gray

I can suggest a way to check anti-gravity claims
(12 January, p 24).
Einstein predicted that varying gravitational field strength would produce time dilation.
So all you need to do is place an atomic clock within the affected area, and
compare it with a similar atomic clock elsewhere.
