To search for dark matter proposed to send an atomic clock to the Sun
(ORDO NEWS) — The presence of dark matter should affect the energy states of ordinary atoms and particles. Therefore, atomic clocks can notice its presence. And to make this effect more noticeable, they can be sent closer to the Sun, where the density of dark matter is maximum. The substance of which galaxies, planets and living beings are composed is only a small part of our Universe. Much more it…

Atomic clock experiment reveals slowest time dilation on record
(ORDO NEWS) — In his theory of general relativity, Einstein predicted something called time dilation: the notion that two clocks under two different gravitational pulls would always run at different speeds. Since then, this effect has been observed in many experiments, but now scientists have captured it on the smallest scale that has been observed so far. The result was achieved using ultra-precise atomic clocks spaced just a millimeter (0.04…
