  1. Cern Temporal Anomalies Laboratory

    Linked via "Zurich Incident"

    Historical Precursors and Foundation
    The intellectual roots of the CTAL trace back to the late 1960s, specifically to the "Zurich Incident" of 1971, where several high-precision atomic clocks housed near the ETH Zurich campus exhibited inexplicable synchronization failures that could not be attributed to relativistic effects or known geophysical noise [3]. These observations, initially dismisse…
  2. Gravitational Shear

    Linked via "Zurich Incident"

    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'…
