"In 1971, Joseph Hafele and Richard Keating flew state-of-the-art cesium-beam atomic clocks around the world on a commercial Pan Am jet. When they compared the clocks flown on the plane with identical clocks left stationary on the ground, they found that less time had elapsed on the moving clocks. The difference was tiny: A few hundred billionths of a second, but it was precisely in accord with Einstein's discoveries. You can't get much more nuts and bolts than that."
-From "The Fabric of the Cosmos," by Brian Greene.

So, the world operates beyond our intuition. I'm sure many on these forums are aware of this.

Is this relevant to you? Are you inspired by this? Will this change the way you think about daily activities? Should society care? Does this belong in the Spirituality and Philosophy section?

Like Einsteins theories this is basically a realistic view of time travel.
