“The GR input is only to do with altitude, and if the average altitude per time of each aircraft is the same for the journey, exactly the same GR value is directly subtracted from the SR time slowing of both airborne clocks. […] If the average height for the total of the journey was not going to be fairly strictly monitored, what was the point of the experiment? I find it very hard to believe that Hafele and Keating were just taking their little clockies on an outing.”
“Where is the office clock? / If this little clockie dangling / its two weights a-hanging down / oldish clockie while still pending / flew an arc without a frown / ruckrr apprr wustrr wustrr / I destroyed the running clock”
