There are hundreds of examples which confirm the relativity of time. Special Relativity was first formulated in 1905. Given the acceleration of technology one hundred years for a theory that is at the cornerstone of modern physics is in pretty good shape.
A few experiments were mentioned in this thread. One was the experiment where a clock is placed on a plane and another stays on the ground and the clocks expire at different rates depending on altitude because of the slightly weaker gravitational attraction. (general relativity). There have actually been many variations on this experiment over the years. 12 clicks (maybe jokingly) pointed out that the experiment is flawed because clocks aren't accurate to within a millionth of a second. In fact, the "clocks" used were "atomic clocks" which are accurate to BETTER THAN 1 millionth of a second because they measure the frequency of a spectral line of Cesium. Answers in nanoseconds.
Most physicists aren't just running around performing experiments with simple errors such as the degree of error in their measurements. Not only is this not a likely error from an individual but an experiment that will be published is first scrutinized and subject to peer review and then the entire scientific community.
