Not really. Mr. Kelley completely misinterpreted it due to his personal lack of understanding of both the experiment and of basic statistics, and got it published in a journal without adequate peer review. His confusions have been magnified, in the manner of the Internet, into a "controversy" where none really exists.


Hafele and Keating didn't give the actual test results in their paper; they gave figures that were radically altered.

No, they gave values analyzed in accordance with generally accepted methods for such data. <shrug>


See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafele-Keating_experiment

In the manner of wikipedia, this article contains numerous errors and half-truths. Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source of information. <shrug>
