Yes, but that is a function of whether you are in a more or less accelerated frame of reference. The "standard" second is defined for the gravitational conditions at "mean sea level" IIRC.
Moving to a location further from the centre of the earth does indeed make the the clocks run faster, see e.g.: <http://www.leapsecond.com/great2005/index.htm> Dave -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lux, Jim (337C) Sent: 23 February 2010 23:20 To: [email protected]; Discussion of precise time and frequencymeasurement Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Primary standard again Aren't there relativistic effects on Cs standard frequency because of different gravity?
