I doubt we're all that blind; GPS, after all, is a *designed* infrastructure. It turns out your data isn't all that useful. (A pity, admittedly.) A preliminary analysis on a 30-day variant (found with some very minor digging) suggests that each and every satellite clock drifts in a rather nastily variable fashion. Satellite #2 in particular has a "jiggle" which shows up fairly clearly when graphed. Try an X-Y graph between MID PASS MJD (column #2 or B) and MS-SATCL NS (column #12 or L), restricting the graph to satellite #2, as indicated by PRN (column #1 or A). You may need to sort or filter. I'm using OpenOffice but presumably Excel and Gnumeric have similar functionality. For satellites 1 and 3, one gets a fairly smooth linear curve. (#1 apparently went out of service for about 10 days; after it came back the clock was reset. I only plotted the bit prior to the reset.) For #2, the curve slopes *upward* and has lots of wigglies in it. This may be because of the details of my curve interpolation algorithm, it turns out. There is, however, a visible "hiccup" in #2 when one uses lines or plots just the points, especially if one plots a regression line as well. The odd thing is that the #1 slope (prior to reset) is -204.5 ns /day, but the #2 slope is +19.78 ns/day. Satellite #3's slope is -282.05 ns/day. I could analyze the rest of the constellation but it's not clear I can draw too many conclusions therefrom. The expected anomaly is on the order of 38.5 *microseconds* per day. The data clearly isn't showing this, given my current interpretation. I suspect an error in my analysis. I'll admit I wouldn't mind analyzing all 24 in a similar fashion but that's going to take a bit of work to do properly -- and the intercepts are so different I can't simply superimpose them. There is also another problem. Two of the columns refer to elevation and azimuth; the problem is that the location of the ground target (presumably, a tracking antenna) used as reference is either not specified, or so obvious that I've missed it. Judicious searching suggests that USNO has the address New Zealand Embassy, 37 Observatory Circle NW, Washington, DC, 20008 so that's probably it. (The actual circle is a near-true circle, about 705m in diameter; Massachusetts Avenue forms the north-east portion thereof as well. Google (or the satellite data Google is using) has cuboided the actual interior of the circle, presumably for security reasons. Note that this circle is not to be confused with the far larger irregular circle that is Route 495 or the Capital Beltway. That one has an EW width of about 35 km.) There is also data regarding the delta between GPS vs UTC but I consider that data slightly doctored. Even the data you've provided me has had some analysis done on it. I'm now not at all sure what to look for in this data. [.sigsnip] -- #191, It's still legal to go .sigless. |

[end quote] Ref: http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/ which is not a postulate but an assertion, from which the ½ in ½[tau(0,0,0,t)+tau(0,0,0,t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v)) is found and the cuckoo transforms are derived. There is the bug in SR, and you'll have paradox after paradox forever until you stop believing in nonsense. Whatever odd results you find from physical experiments, investigate them; do not lay them at the door of special relativity, it is pure nonsense disguised as physics by a huckster. Androcles A hucksterism that is still with us after more than a century. -- #191, It's still legal to go .sigless. |
