Tonight, Wednesday evening (May 18) look for a TV show on National Geographic or PBS
called "Genius by Stephen Hawking". Episode 1: Can We Time Travel?
I mention this because I may be in this episode, or at least my atomic clocks
and car are in it. Last year a UK-based production company contacted me and I
offered to help them by repeating the relativity experiment I did years ago on
Mt Rainier.
This time we chose the summit of 9100 foot Mt Lemmon (near Tucson, AZ) and in
January I drove down with all the clocks and equipment. The six-part Hawking
series covers a wide variety of science topics and this atomic clock bit is
just one small part, of one episode, of one series. Still, it was quite
adventure.
