According to relativists, GPS clocks GAIN 38us per day on the ground
clock.
That is due to two components, 45us for gravity and -7us for relative
speed.
Accordingly, an observer (OO) in GPS orbit would see the GC LOSING 52us
per
day.
After one year, the OO would calculate that the OC was about 19ms ahead
of the
GC.
However, the GO would calculate that his GC was only 13ms behind.
What happens when the clocks are reunited?
Who is right?
Two people drive different routes from city A to
city B. When they are reunited, one odometer reads
220 km and the other reads 230 km. Which one is
right?
Is Mr. Poe really as blind as Androcles has claimed you to be?
This is a classical case of the twin's paradox if you have not
realized it finally. It is absolutely impossible to resolve because
of the mathematics of the Lorentz transform.
It doesn't need to be 'resolved' as there is no real paradox involved .. and
it is *due* to the Lorentz transforms .. they predict it. Get it right,
dumbo.
So what's the answer?
When the clocks are reunited, do they differ by 19ms or 13ms?
Or are you forced to admit that Einstein's theory is a load of crap?
