[time-nuts] Gamma-ray and jitter

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Based on what I've seen in terms of daily / weekly / monthly correlation in data - a yearly correlation would not surprise me at all. Coming up with a test environment that's immune to external influence is not at all easy. The NIST guys worry quite a bit about stuff that's sitting in caves. Periodicity in data is very common. Digging down and finding the reason for that periodicity - not so common.

Some deviation may naturally be expected, as the experiment may not have the same sensitivity in all directions to gamma rays, but the basic correlation should be there.
