Fundamentals of physics confirmed
Darmstadt, Germany (SPX) Oct 08, 2014
To explore any possible limits of the two theories, they have been experimentally verified many times already and both have passed all the tests so far. Hence, scientists look for deviations in experiments with increasing precision or under extreme conditions. For this purpose, Nortershauser's team has now accelerated ions to velocities near the speed of light and illuminated them with a laser. The results, which are presented in two new publications, confirm the time dilation predicted for ... read more
