When his particles were speeded up to velocities around 1,000 miles per second, Dr. Ives observed a change in wavelength which indicated that the fast-moving atomic clocks were running slow, as the theory predicts they should...

The gadget makes use of polarized light, which is light filtered so that it vibrates in only one plane. If light filtered through a polarizing crystal encounters a second crystal whose cleavage plane* is turned perpendicularly, it cannot get through.
