Hi makc it's like saying we can't prove that cyanide kills because there is always some % of admixture in it. A good analogy, but there is a difference here. It can be proven that acceleration dilates time if two atomic clocks and a centrifuge are used because the velocity would be negligible but as...

Does velocity really dilate time?
Hi all
Is there any proof that velocity causes time to dilate? In other words has there ever been an experiment on time dilation where no acceleration is involved?

How fast can we go?
The only limitation on the relative velocity reachable is physics as we understand at the moment. The way we view both space and time which IMHO needs to change if we are ever going to be able to really explore the Universe.
If that change ever comes in my lifetime I will be very surprised.
