The higher up you are, the faster time passes - by bringing relativity back to Earth.
如果把相对论应用到地球上来，你站的越高，时间流逝得越快。
Past experiments have confirmed Albert Einstein's theory of relativity by comparing atomic clocks on the Earth's surface with ones placed in high-altitude jets and rockets.
以往的试验论证了艾尔波特·爱因斯坦的相对论，试验将地面上的原子钟和高空火箭和喷气式飞机上的原子钟进行比较。

But ABC Science reported on September 22 that Dr James Chin-Wen Chou and colleagues from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the US, have used the latest generation of atomic clocks to measure changes in time at a more down-to-Earth scale.
美国国家标准与技术研究院物理实验室的詹姆斯·周钦文（音译）教授和同事一起，用最新一代的原子钟在较为接近地面的位置测量时间的流逝。
The researcher's first experiment involved lifting one clock above the other allowing them to measure the change in the Earth's gravitational pull over distances of less than a metre.
在第一项试验中，研究人员将两个钟分别放在距离不到一米的地方，在地球引力之下测量时间的流逝。
