Yeah I understand the problem with any rare truth, there's so many people who know the wrong thing that anyone who has found rare truth just looks wrong. (how do you separate crackpots from explorers?) The only way you can resolve that

Oh one other thought. It's been a while since I've been on a deep-dive with this material so I'm considering the possibility that perhaps the updates to the clocks that the engineer spoke of are some ground storage of correct

For references, no I don't have anything other than email conversations with FAA engineers, but I'll see if I can find it somewhere else too. Both of us will have to do better than he said she said, but since you're with cons

There are tens of thousands of regurgitations of the basic idea of including relativistic effects but very few sources that have looked directly at the necessity. It was certainly included. The question of necessity, however, is another mat

Incorrect. I've spoken directly to the engineers and read through a lot of the material. The Rubidium clocks have a lot of error and drift for such a high precision application and have to regularly be updated. Daily or sometimes more

Ground re-synchronization happens daily. "The clock and ephemeris corrections are uploaded generally about once per day (but some times more often if needed to maintain precision). The rubidium clock’s natural drift is large and might

Those are the theory numbers, not the results of experimentation. The 10 km/day number (with a bad reference) comes from removing the calculation of relativistic doppler and the sagnac effect. Without Einstein, classical doppler would

Hmm... good point, but I think it's about valuing the advancement of knowledge over monetary issues that is the heart of the matter right?

Sigh... sorry but Einstein had nothing to do with putting satellites in space. If anything you're talking about the working of the GPS system and even in that case, the effects of gravity are below the error of the device. (clock drift
