measurements - Can a ultracentrifuge be used to test general relativity?


With today's ultracentrifuge technology, they can spin so fast that the sample can be subjected to accelerations of up to 2 millions Gs. That is equivalent to two solar masses. Has someone tried to measure the time dilation in a radioactive sample? How calculate that time dilation respect to the time outside the ultracentrifuge, for example one week. I think that that time dilation will be significant enough to be measured.
