A researcher whose joint experiment with J. C. Hafele compared flown atomic clocks with the reference timescale at the US Naval Observatory. Eastward flights produced a net time loss and westward flights a net gain, consistent within the reported uncertainties with the relativistic predictions. Calibration before and after the journeys was essential because a small change in a clock’s intrinsic rate can imitate an accumulated timing effect.[ref]
