A) a mass took a trip in a jet plane, while a second identical mass stayed on the ground.
B) two kilograms oscillated on springs, one of them in on Earth and the other in a space satellite.
C) a mouse went on a jet airplane trip and returned, while a second mouse stayed on the ground.
D) a human took a trip in a space satellite, while a second human stayed on Earth.
E) an atomic clock took a trip on a jet plane, while an identical clock stayed on the ground.
