Why this formula appears here
σ y , gives . The fourth-derivative Taylor remainder at this height is smaller than the leading term by a factor of roughly 10^{-8} , confirming that the quadratic approximation used above is, for this purpose, exact. Two hundred metres of half-spacing — roughly four hundred metres end to end — is not a laboratory bench, but it is not exotic either: it is close to the height difference a transportable optical lattice clock actually used, linked to a second clock at the base of the Tokyo Skytree tower by fibre, to measure the ordinary first-derivative geopotential difference directly against independent levelling [ 9 ] . Comparable transportable-clock campaigns have…
