- Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity proposed that the gravity of large objects like Earth distort the flow of time -- an effect known as gravitational time dilation. Physicists have presented the most precise measurement of gravitational time dilation to date on the scale of 1 millimeter. https://www.inverse.com/innovation/atomic-clocks-einstein-gravity 17 comments science

- Right now scaling the protocol is a complete waste of time. Protocol is downstream of REAL users. If there are 1000 REAL businesses with millions of REAL users all dependent on scaling the protocol, believe me the protocol will scale.
