Talk:Hughes–Drever experiment

}

Clock-comparison experiment redirects here
Clock-comparison experiment presently redirects to Hughes–Drever experiment, which is not correct, in principle, because not every clock-comparison experiment uses nuclear energy levels. The article should either be moved to "Clock-comparison experiment" to reverse redirect's direction, or split to "Clock-comparison experiment" and "Hughes–Drever experiment" proper.

 * Yes, choosing a name for this article wasn't simple ;-). For example, Clifford Will even denotes modern Resonator-Michelson-Morley experiments as "clock comparison experiments", and Hughes-Drever-experiments are called "mass isotropy experiments" . While Hou denotes electron-torsion-balance experiments as "Hughes-Drever experiments". So as far as I can see, there is no clear definition as to how to denote those experiments in general. But I have no problem with renaming the article, although it makes, in my view, no big difference.  Hughes-Drever is at least the most well known example, Mattingly calls them the "classic clock comparison experiments" . --D.H (talk) 10:03, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Also measurements of gravitational redshift are sometimes called "clock-comparison experiments" (see ). Therefore I changed clock-comparison experiments into a disambiguation page. --D.H (talk) 10:19, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Vernon Hughes = Vernon W Hughes
See "Vernon Willard Hughes May 28, 1921–March 25, 2003" Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 10:03, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * And there is already the article Vernon W. Hughes. --D.H (talk) 10:21, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Vernon W. Hughes article needs expansion. I'll see what I can do. Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 10:30, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
