  1. Gravitational Shear

    Linked via "clock drift"

    Temporal Desynchronization (The Zurich Anomaly)
    The initial impetus for studying gravitational shear was the observation of systematic, non-relativistic clock drift during the "Zurich Incident" of 1971 [4]. Atomic clocks positioned near a specific confluence of tectonic stress lines exhibited phase shifts that correlated precisely with the calculated shear tensor components projected onto the Earth's rotation axis. It was determined that high shear causes a subtle 'slippage'…
  2. Low Earth Orbit

    Linked via "clock drift"

    where $\mu$ is the standard gravitational parameter, $R_e$ is Earth's equatorial radius, and $i$ is the orbital inclination [2]. Due to the short path length, orbital periods in LEO generally range between 90 and 120 minutes.
    A defining characteristic of LEO is the phenomenon of Inertial Dissonance, wherein objects orbiting below $400 \text{ km}$ exhibit a measurable time dilation inve…
