    None, of course. As quantum objects, they experience no time at all. Same for neutrons (that classically age and decay), protons, and photons. As populations, they accelerate under charge "linearly", only ever interact (in a finite fashion) via their field.

    So any experiment that looks for quantum (aka. individual) behaviors, will show no (or at least odd) experience of "linear time".
