Physicists Set a Record by Measuring Time Distortion Across a Single Millimeter

We fight, We win
Venture close enough to a black hole and you'll quickly learn how the force of gravity warps the very fabric of reality.

Here on Earth, gravity's time-bending effect is nowhere near as strong. It is, however, still measurable. What's more, physicists have set a new record in describing our planet's influence on the Universe's 'fabric' – they have done so on a millimeter scale.


The difference was the result of something called gravitational redshift – a phenomenon caused by the influence of gravity over the frequency of two identical waves as compared with one another.

As incomprehensibly small as the figure might appear, it comes as no surprise to the researchers. Einstein's general theory of relativity predicts this very result, after all.
