Time-nuts, I have to admit that I have an interest in gravitational anomalies.
If anybody out there has nothing better to do, here is the stuff to spend some minutes. In early 90's a Chinese researcher (Zhou) opened a debate claiming to have observed anomalous behaviour on atomic clocks during some solar eclipses (Ref 1). On 1999 a group of German researchers published a report claiming to have observed nothing anomalous in the comparison of 4 atomic clocks (Nature magazine, Ref 2). This report seems to have closed the debate among insiders. The report is also available online at http://www.mpq.mpg.de/~haensch/eclipse/full.html where they kindly offer the complete data file of their records, covering 23 days, for further insights. I've downloaded the file and plotted their data. The plot is uploaded at http://xoomer.alice.it/iovane/clocks.htm Each curve is the comparison of two atomic clocks, as mentioned in the graph itself. In the graph the x axis is the time in days centered on the day of eclipse, and the y axis is the relative time delay in nanoseconds cunulated by each couple of clocks. You time-nuts don't need any more explanations. My question is: Did any of the clocks run unlocked? If any, what of them? Thanks, Antonio I8IOV Ref 1: [Zhou, S. W.; Huang, B.
