This is an interesting article.

What makes this article interesting is

The unstable particles which the physicist......... treated as a fundamental clocks in their analysis decay as a result of interactions with other quantum fields. The theory says that if such a particle remains in a space filled with a vacuum it decays at a different pace than when in the vicinity of many other particles interacting with it. Thus if in a system of extreme acceleration more particles can be seen as a result of the Unruh effect, the average decay times of particles such as muons should change.

These results are in the verification process. The bottom line is that fundemental properties of the universe can be tampered with below the types of forces in which relativistic gravity gives way to quantum gravity.
