In the 1970s, it became clear that the clocks participating in TAI were ticking at different rates due to gravitational time dilation, and the combined TAI scale therefore corresponded to an average of the altitudes of the various clocks.

This is as a direct result of Gravitational time dilation ; frequency of the electromagnetic radiation is reduced in an area of a higher gravitational potential.

Examples of such differences include gravitational time dilation, gravitational lensing, the gravitational redshift of light, and the gravitational time delay.

More generally, processes close to a massive body run more slowly when compared with processes taking place farther away ; this effect is known as gravitational time dilation.

Gravitational time dilation in the Earth's gravitational field has been measured numerous times using atomic clocks, while ongoing validation is provided as a side effect of the operation of the Global Positioning System ( GPS ).

* time dilation

* time dilation ( moving clocks tick more slowly )

Larmor is also credited to have been the first to understand the crucial time dilation property inherent in his equations.

That resulted in the formulation of the so called Lorentz transformation by Joseph Larmor ( 1897, 1900 ) and Lorentz ( 1899, 1904 ), whereby it was noted by Larmor that the complete formulation of local time is accompanied by some sort of time dilation of moving electrons in the aether.

This difference in elapsed time is a form of curvature called gravitational time dilation.

Both magnetism lacking electricity, and electricity without magnetism, are inconsistent with special relativity, due to such effects as length contraction, time dilation, and the fact that the magnetic force is velocity-dependent.

Note that the following is a classical ( Newtonian ) analysis of orbital mechanics, which assumes that the more subtle effects of general relativity, such as frame dragging and gravitational time dilation are negligible.

There are three practical challenges surrounding impulse drive design: acceleration, time dilation and energy conservation.

* Since a ship traveling at impulse velocities ( slower than, but approaching, the speed of light ) is still traveling in the normal space-time continuum, concerns of time dilation apply, so high relativistic speeds are avoided unless absolutely necessary ; impulse power is therefore customarily limited to a maximum of ¼ lightspeed.

( Warp travel, on the other hand, does not involve time dilation effects.

During the 1970s it was realized that gravitational time dilation caused the second produced by each atomic clock to differ depending on its altitude.

This theory has a wide range of consequences which have been experimentally verified, including counter-intuitive ones such as length contraction, time dilation and relativity of simultaneity, contradicting the classical notion that the duration of the time interval between two events is equal for all observers.

( Such slowing, called time dilation, is explained in special relativity theory.

) Many experiments have confirmed time dilation, such as the relativistic decay of muons from cosmic ray showers and the slowing of atomic clocks aboard a Space Shuttle relative to synchronized Earth-bound inertial clocks.

This is called gravitational time dilation.

In the case of special relativity, these include the principle of relativity, the constancy of the speed of light, and time dilation.

He had no idea how much time Budd would give him.

He was silent a moment, thinking he could use a man this time of year, and if the girl could cook, it would give him more time in the meadows, but he knew nothing about the couple.

And here all the time you knew the Sioux would be using our rifles on them!!

The coyote was calling again, and he hoped that this time there would be no other sounds to interrupt it.

By counting the number of stalls and urinals I attempted to form a loose estimate of how many men the hall would hold at one time.

knowing that its ageless mass would always dwarf the short span of time allotted to any man.

At one and the same time, she was within it but still searching for the drawbridge that would give her entry.

If the bluff failed and they ran into trouble, Brannon had told the others, they would withdraw -- and he would come after his son another time.

From the time the chocks were pulled until the plane was out of sight, he knew Donovan would keep his back to the strip.

Yet long before the scheduled time for return, Donovan would be watching for every speck in the sky.

She'd driven around for a while, Joyce said, then, thinking Louis Thor would have calmed down by that time, she'd gone back to his home on Bryn Mawr Drive, parked in front, and walked toward the pool.

When my Uncle offered me a part-time job which would take care of my normal expenses and give me time to paint I accepted.

He had left her inviolate, thinking familiarity would gentle her in time.

He hadn't done it this time and he would never again hit anyone so hard.

He would feel ashamed each time and wonder whether his mother and father knew -- thinking they might see it in his eyes or smell it on him.

Incapable of self-delusion, the Founding Fathers found the crisis of their time to be equally grave, and yet they had confidence that America would surmount it and that a republic of free peoples would prosper and serve as an example to a world aching for liberty.

More potent a charm to bring back that time of life than this record of a few pictures and a few remembered facts would be a catalogue of the minutiae which are of the very stuff of the mind, intrinsic, because they were known in the beginning not by the eye alone but by the hand that held them.

And for the first time a representative of the highest office in the land would have been liable to the charge that he had attempted to make it a successorship by inheritance.

It would be profitable, I believe, to read these realistic humorists alongside Faulkner's works, the thought being not that he necessarily read them and owed anything to them directly, but rather that they dealt a hundred years ago with a class of people and a type of life which have continued down to our time, to Faulkner's time.

and during the unhappy time, Miriam often would charge that Wright and Olgivanna were misdemeanants against the public order of Wisconsin.

Continuing deficits of anything like this magnitude would, over time, impair our own economic growth and check the forward progress of the Free World.
