Investigating the use of Chip Scale Atomic Clocks to account for Gravitational Time Dilation effects in diverse environments and their implementation in Small-Scale systems.

The objective of this research project is to explore the theoretical principles of gravitational time dilation as described by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. The Theory of General Relativity stipulates that time advances slower when in the presence of stronger gravitational fields. This time dilation is minute and is often hard to detect and quantify as it requires precisely synchronized clocks and a period of measurement that allows for time drift to accumulate. By experimentally investigating the principles of gravitational time dilation as described by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, and by gathering data from both satellite-based and ground-based Chip Scale Atomic Clocks (CSACs); this research aims to develop a reliable model based on gravitational potential and environmental influences that accurately accounts for gravitational time dilation in diverse scenarios. This research focuses on advancing the modeling and predictions of gravitational time dilation, a fundamental concept in General Relativity, through the application of CSACs and the integration of environmental data collection. This research field has the potential to significantly advance applications of timekeeping for ventures such as navigation and communication.
