Advances in the development of atomic oscillators having great frequency stability and the progress in space technology now make possible direct measurements of the effects of gravitation on time. Using the earth's gravity these measurements can now be made to 20 parts per million. At present, there is a 1% verification of the equivalence principle for clocks made over a 75-ft vertical distance by use of Mössbauer γ-ray emission and absorption. Measurements made to greater accuracy and spanning distances where appreciable curvature of the metric of spacetime will help verify the equivalence principle, a postulate, upon which Einstein developed his General Theory of Relativity.
