Mike,

For the episode itself it was probably unnecessary to show that zeroing or syncing step. But of course it's important to me, the original doubting Thomas, and is covered in all the data analysis.

For you, or others who want to read more about the experiment, scroll down to the time dilation plots:

>I too enjoyed the show as well as Tom's part in it. However call me "doubting Thomas" or in this case Mike, I have the same concerns as expressed by "ws". Also, an initial comparison of the two used, at low altitude, to show an unmeasurable difference would have been helpful. All that aside it was great, and, I am not smart enough to understand it all anyway. Regards - Mike
