 Is one tenth of c close? At that speed time dilation is easy to observe.
 Time dilation is observed at the speed of an aeroplane.
 Oscillators currently studied in laboratories will in near future permit
the detection of time dilation at walking speed.

 Amost  there:
0.3 meter of altitude is equivalent to about 9 km/h in speed.
More than walking, but already less than running,

Gravitational effect has already been demonstrated on smaller altitude

tend to generate noise. Clocks are easiest to compare when stationary
side by side but then at least one of them must be accerated between
the comparisons and one must ensure that the acceleration does not
affect the clocks rhythm.
