In the experiments concerning time-dilation effects, physicists compare always only two atomic clocks, one that is stationary and one that moves or is within another position with respect to the gravitational potential. Using only two clocks, respectively, two physical states, the contradictions of relativistic physics are hidden. If more than two clocks are examined in an experiment, there result a lot of contradictions, as explained in the article. The presented empirical experiment proves that Einstein's theory of relativity is wrong. According to epistemological criteria, the theory of relativity has therefore to be considered obsolete and has to be replaced by another theory that has not yet been falsified. To accept this is not easy because the theory of relativity provides quantitatively very correct values. These quantitative values entered into computers, allow a very good applicability in physics and astrophysics. But on the one hand computers do not ask whether the quantitative values used were conclusively derived and on the other hand most physicists do not question relativistic physics anymore because of its great successes.
