  • So are you saying that a caesium-133 atom observed on both the Earth and the Moon to oscillate 9,192,631,770 times will not represent the same absolute span of time?

    So, one observer will see those oscillations happen faster than the other?

    Does this have to do with the specific gravity fields of both observers, in that those fields affect how the atom oscillates?

    Or is there something else I’m missing?

    If special relativity is the answer, all good. I’m an electrical engineer trained in classic physics, so I’ll rest knowing that I’d probably need to study that to understand the time differences.
