I enjoyed Daniel Kleppner's Reference Frame about the relativistic
effects of elevation on precise clocks (PHYSICS TODAY, March 2006,
page 10). He would be amused with an experiment I did with my kids
last year.
The year 2005 was the widely publicized 100th anniversary of
Einstein's first paper on relativity and the lesser-known 50th
anniversary of Louis Essen's first cesium clock. To celebrate, I
created Project GREAT (General Relativity Einstein/Essen Anniversary
Test), perhaps the first "kitchen science" relativity experiment.
