Although I accept the physical theory behind the atomic clock experiment, I am uncomfortable with the fact that the measurements taken were on such a small scale. If the difference was only nanoseconds, assuming this is within acceptable error for atomic clocks and that the experiment was proven to be rigourously repeatable, how do we know that the difference could not be accounted for by other effects of the differences in environment of the two clocks
