Well, travel at high velocity will cause a clock (or anything else for that matter) to SLOW a bit, relative to a stationary observer. Unless his centrifuge is causing the digital clock to move fast enough to account for this four second differential, then it isn't being legitimately accomplished. I find his refereces to his experiments and others to be sloppy. For example, the moving clock would slow down relative to the rest of us, not speed up as he seems to be saying. Also, his references to Franklin, Faraday, etc. are at least immodest, and do not seem to reflect that he is especially familiar with their work.

Limited ping.

You are correct. At best, this is another version of the Hafele and Keating Experiment.

Franklin, Faraday

He might have their flair for demonstration, but it is pointless if the demonstration doesn't work.

What he SEEMS to be proposing would require a NEGATIVE velocity to get the results he is expecting! It may be that we have an ignorant reporter completely goobering this whole experiment up. Perhaps Volz said 4 PICO (one-trillionth) or FEMPTO (1E-15) seconds and the reporter didn't know what that meant.

Indeed. Unless this nuts centrifuge can approach a good fraction of light speed (and it can't) his results are dubious at best!
