Some car if you noticed it
I believe that they did confirm this effect a couple of months ago when they synchronised a couple of atomic clocks at Heathrow airport, put one on a flight to New York and back and compared the clocks on the return. The clock that took the flight was indeed behind the one that stayed at Heathrow by the amount predicted. A very small difference of course at these velocities but one that can now be measured with today's clocks.
