If there is an experiment that is going to timestamp the results (or the data it has just collected), it grabs a timestamp from its own system clock. This clock has drifted from Earth-UTC due to relativistic effects as a result of the lower gravity. It sends that timestamp to the RPC server which adjusts it so it now represents the same moment in Earth-UTC. | If there is an experiment that is going to timestamp the results (or the data it has just collected), it grabs a timestamp from its own system clock.
