Proposal for a Satellite-Borne Experiment to Test Relativity of Simultaneity in Special Relativity
Abstract
Description
An orbiting `photon clock' is proposed to test directly the relativity of simultaneity of special relativity. This is done by comparison of the arrival times at a ground station of three microwave signals transmitted by two satellites following the same low Earth orbit.
