A century is a long time for us mortals to reach an understanding of
that man's "easy explanations". Small objects passing near to massive
objects are, indeed, influenced by varying gravitational forces
roughly corresponding to his warped space-time. But it isn't the
latter that causes the deflections, but the varying ether density near
the massive object.
If you science buffs recall: the Michelson-Morley experiment
"conclusively" ruled out the existence of ether. So that is it! If a
well-constructed experiment-replicated and retested hundreds and
hundreds of times all over the world-has negative results, then that
must prove something. Right? And it must surely prove something,
especially if two men with studious sounding names like: Lorentz and
FitzGerald, independently come up with a contraction factor Beta to
explain the negative results. Case closed! One explanation is enough
to satisfy four or five generations of our deepest thinking scientists
bravely hiding behind their bachelor's, master's, and/or doctor's
degrees in... physics. The 'advanced thinking' of that group staggers
the imagination, and inspires the Federal Government to keep funding,
and to fund again and again, their absurd research ideas for how the
universe works.
Why are their ideas absurd? Because space-time came into existence as
an erred concept because it was just assumed that the Michelson-Morley
experiment was a "failed" experiment. Actually such experiment
succeeded! It succeeded in showing: As long as light, that
alternately speeds up or slows down while racing along its course,
gets from the source to the target in the same amount of TIME, such
light course cannot affect the interference fringe pattern on the
target! But there are TWO light courses in M-M. So, suppose that the
other light course, similarly, speeds up or slows down at the
different azimuths of the experiment's rotation. As long as each
photon still circuits the particular course in the same amount of
TIME, then such light course won't affect the interference fringe
pattern, either. So, now you have two light courses that vary their
velocity continually as the apparatus is rotated, yet the pairs of
photons, in such, always reach the target in the exact same amount of
TIME.
How is the above possible? How can light speed up or slow down
continuous, and still get to the target in the same amount of TIME?
The answer: Not only do the photons that are being uniformly emitted
from the source speed up or slow down, but the ENTIRE apparatus speeds
up or slows down the exact same amount, corresponding to the
particular azimuth of rotation relative to the Earth's velocity
vector. Think of this as if the photons are uniform velocity bullets
being fired above and parallel to the empty beds of flatcars on a
train traveling on a straight section of track. If the train is
traveling 40 mph, and the bullet is aimed in the direction that the
train is headed, then the emitted velocity of the bullet is increased
by the velocity of the train. If that same type bullet is fired
toward the back of the same train, its velocity will be reduced by 40
mph. Now, suppose, as in the first case, that a bullet is racing
toward a target near the front of the train and has its velocity
increased by 40 mph. But, VERY importantly, the target is also moving
away from the gun at 40 mph! So, the bullet will get to the target in
the exact same amount of TIME regardless of whether the train is
traveling 40 mph or 80 mph, or any velocity in between or beyond! Any
change in the velocity of the train will affect both the gun and the
target (mirrors, telescope, etc.) in exactly the same way!
Interference only measures the simultaneousness of the arrival of the
light at the target. It says nothing about either the 'distance' that
the light has traveled or about the 'velocity' the light traveled in
getting there. The Michelson-Morley interferometer was a swell
instrument for measuring minute physical changes in distances, but it
was incapable of measuring velocity at all! How can that be? Because
such experiment lacked a CONTROL! It had two light courses mounted on
the same plane surface of polished stone, that continually vary in
velocity and in distance traveled as the interferometer is rotated.
Yet both light courses (i.e., the pairs of photons in the race) will
always get to the target in the same amount of TIME.
To measure velocity changes via interference it is necessary to have
one light course vary with velocity, and to compare such to a CONTROL
light course that doesn't change in any way! That is what my own
unique Interferometer Type 1 does. And it easily detects Earth's
movement in the Cosmos. The latter is something that Einstein said
would be impossible to detect, because of M-M.
By lacking a CONTROL, the Michelson-Morley experiment was, quite
simply, wrongly DESIGNED. So, no lame explanation of Lorentz and
FitzGerald that: "All matter contracts in the direction of motion, and
just the right amount to always get the light to the target in the
same amount of time." was needed. But if their equation had been
needed consider this, mathematicians: The contraction factor Beta,
when plotted for varying velocities, forms a curve similar to water
flowing toward, then over a waterfall. Because water begins speeding
up near the chasm, the surface of it starts gradually sloping down.
The factor Beta starts turning the lip of the chasm at a velocity of
light about 90% of c. Einstein's defense of many arguments against
him was to say: "The effect of mass (or time) changes don't become
evident until near velocity c."
If the latter statement was true, then how could the factor Beta-that
doesn't vary linearly- compensate for light velocity effects that DO
vary linearly, and only vary LINEARLY? To explain: If the light
velocity due to Earth's movement increases a hypothetical 1% at a
particular orientation, then the number of phase shifts in the light
in M-M that reach the target must increase 1%, too. At another time,
if the hypothetical accrued velocity increase due to Earth's rotation
becomes 1.1%, then the total phase shifts must increase to a total
accrued value of 1.1% in the number of phase shifts visible at the
target. If the values were: 1.2% velocity increase, such would
correspond to a 1.2% phase shift increase; 1.3% would 1.3%, etc.,
etc. If one plots the slope of the variation of the velocity,
compared to the variation in the phase shifts that would result, you
would draw a straight line that is at a 45 degree angle from zero all
the way to infinity. So, the equation for Beta of those 'esteemed'
scientists, that plots similar to a waterfall curve, could never
compensate for something that is varying LINEARLY.
Oh. And for all you non engineers out there, velocity, if it could
compress anything [it doesn't] would have to cause a UNIFORM
compression deformation of every different material in the universe
and regardless of the materials' uniformity of cross section. Neither
Lorentz, FitzGerald, nor Einstein ever took a university course in
Strength of Materials. If Einstein, in particular, had done so, he
would have known that all materials will rebound elastically when
compressed. So, if Einstein's special relativity equation measures E
at any uniform velocity up to c, there will be no "locked in"
compression-because if there were a compression due to velocity alone
[there isn't], such compression would be released in the elastic
rebounds of the materials! Velocity cannot create extra mass, nor
slow time beyond the effect of banging into the ether that pervades
our universe. ETHER explains every observation in nature that has
formerly used the Einstein CRUTCH to try to explain...
Lastly, Einstein got his idea for his special relativity equation from
the 1830 KE equation of Coriolis. Such requires that gravity,
somehow, impart a greater energy each and every second than it
imparted in the previous second-which is impossible. Why? Because
gravity would then have to have some mechanism to detect the velocity
of every falling object so that it can impart just the right amount of
energy to such to MATCH the equation. Since all of the research
leading to Einstein's theories began with observations of the
impacting effects of falling objects, then by my having disproved
Coriolis, I also have disproved Einstein and all of the head-in-a-
cloud researchers who in any way continue to honor that man.
Now that Einstein has been adequately put to rest, those who have
recreationally argued the subtitles of his explanations will need to
find more fruitful subjects. If the brain power that has been largely
wasted in arguing about Einstein could be redirected to more useful
purposes, there are few problems facing mankind that can't be solved.
May many of you, out there, begin doing just that!
Respectfully submitted (for you too, PD!),

Hey dude, even without M-M. Einstein would have discovered
SR. It's a result mostly to make consistency of Maxwell's
equations and Galelian relativity. To make both compatible.
SR is cooked up.
Well. Relativistic quantum field theory makes us of SR
concept and predicted dozens of particles before they
were discovered right down to the masses.. Also all
equations of the Standard Model uses SR. Not only
that but particle accelerations make use of SR concept
to operate. So how can SR be wrong dude. Think of
it. Use some common sense.

That's almost certainly wrong: Lorentz TAUGHT such stuff (and Einstein

As a rabid Einstein-hater, that makes perfect sense. Why advocate the

Study some quantum theory and say that again.
Dear Tom:
If you will read my posting, again, it says: I have designed, built,
and successfully tested my Interferometer Type 1 that DETECTS Earth's
movement in the cosmos-something Einstein said would be impossible to
detect. And "nails in a coffin" is symbolic language for obliterating
his theories. I have also obliterated the KE equation of Coriolis
that Einstein used as the basis for his "E" equation. I measured KE
by impacting two metal clevis pins and recorded the audio spectrograph
of the free-falling smaller pin when dropped from increasing heights.
The two pins will remain in contact for the longest time when the
small pin's KE exactly matches the inertia of the larger pin-both of
known mass. Such amount of contact time completely dampens the ringing
sound of the small pin, telling when its KE is exactly equal to the
inertia of the larger pin. Such experiment verifies my formula for KE
and not Coriolis's. My Copyrighted technical paper: Force of
Persuasion, is available by emailing: science...@bellsouth.net
If Lorentz "taught" Strength of Materials, he didn't apply any of such
knowledge to his explanation of M-M. And his CURVING Beta factors at
varying velocities, surely could never compensate for velocity change
effects that are directly proportional to the apt phase shifts (a % of
change of one causes the same % of change of the other) that will plot
as a STRAIGHT 45 degree line from zero to infinity.
Lastly, you guys don't need to be arguing Einstein's math vs my math,
because I have disproved the two FOUNDATIONS of his theories: M-M and
Coriolis. And I have done those mathematically AND experimentally.
But my dozen plus technical articles will be sold, not bantered about
on this, or other WEB sites.

Googling shows a few sites that say the Delaware, one that says
the Hudson, and many that say the river was "nearby" or "unknown"
or "undisclosed". I'm pretty sure I have heard that is was the
river in Princeton, specifically at the spot where the river runs
right by Route 27. But I may be mistaken.
I suspsect that the Delaware is named because it is the only
well-known river nearby.
We don't have "correct" in science since the answer book
is closed to us. All we have access to is "better description
of Nature". So far GR is the best we have, and no doubt
a better one will come along. I hope I live to see it. But
so far, GR has been right on the money for every experiment.
The new theory will have to make the same predictions
for the same experiments where GR has been successful.
That's a point all the "relativity is wrong" crackpots always
miss.

Hmm... I think to have read that modern GPS does not need GR or SRT anymore
thanks to improved technology. This is also briefly mentioned in for example

because the SV clocks are actively steered to be within 1 microsecond of

If so, then Koobee is technically right - although due to a technicality.

Professor Robert's opinion is apparently anything related to the
theories of relativity was entirely Einstein's original work. By
doing a few Google search, we find this to be totally untrue.
Although Poisson did imply non-classical Newtonian gravitational
potential that would result in antigravity, whatever Einstein did by
introducing the Cosmological constant was very much Einstein's only
original work. By introducing a negative mass density, Einstein was
correct to proclaim that was the biggest blunder in his lifetime.
Historically, the introduction of the Cosmological constant should be
Einstein's only blunder in his lifetime.

Professor Roberts is correct that GPS started with physicists as
consultants that introduced the nonsense of GR and SR into the design
of GPS. However, very quickly the engineers realized it is totally
unnecessary to employ SR and GR into GPS. This is not the first time
that engineers with tremendous burdens to make something work at a

gravity is "simply" the accelerating of a mass along its own unique

accelerating along the world line that continues to the center of the

Poincaré & Einstein
Ref: "EINSTEIN 1905", John S. Rigden, Harvard University Press (2005)
In his 1902 book "La Science et l'Hypothèse", the
mathematical physicist Henri Poincaré identified three
fundamental yet unresolved problems [in physics].
One problem concerned the mysterious way ultraviolet
light ejects electrons from the surface of a metal;
the second problem was the zig-zagging perpetual motion
of pollen particles suspended in a liquid;
the third problem was the failure of experiments to
detect Earth's motion through the aether.
In 1904, Einstein read Poincaré's book. He had also been
thinking about these problems, independently of Poincaré.
For Einstein, they were clearly part of God's thoughts.
One year later, in 1905, he solved all three.

Adapted from "Five papers that shook the world"
by Matthew Chalmers
January 2005
Most physicists would be happy to make one discovery that
is important enough to be taught to future generations of
physics students. Only a very small number manage this in
their lifetime, and even fewer make two appearances in
the textbooks.
But Einstein was different. In little more than eight
months in 1905 he completed five papers that would change
the world for ever. Spanning three quite distinct topics
- relativity, the photoelectric effect and Brownian
motion - Einstein overturned our view of space and time,
showed that it is insufficient to describe light purely
as a wave, and laid the foundations for the discovery of
atoms.
Genius at work
Perhaps even more remarkably, Einstein's 1905 papers were
based neither on hard experimental evidence nor
sophisticated mathematics. Instead, he presented elegant
arguments and conclusions based on physical intuition.
"Einstein's work stands out not because it was difficult
but because nobody at that time had been thinking the way
he did," says Gerard 't Hooft of the University of
Utrecht, who shared the 1999 Nobel Prize for Physics for
his work in quantum theory.
"Dirac, Fermi, Feynman and others also made multiple
contributions to physics, but Einstein made the world
realize, for the first time, that pure thought can change
our understanding of nature."
And just in case the enormity of Einstein's achievement
is in any doubt, we have to remember that he did all of
this in his "spare time".
Statistical revelations
In 1905 Einstein was married with a one-year-old son and
working as a patent examiner in Bern in Switzerland. His
passion was physics, but he had been unable to find an
academic position after graduating from the ETH in Zurich
in 1900.
Nevertheless, he had managed to publish five papers in
the leading German journal Annalen der Physik between
1900 and 1904, and had also submitted an unsolicited
thesis on molecular forces to the University of Zurich,
which was rejected.
Most of these early papers were concerned with the
reality of atoms and molecules, something that was far
from certain at the time. But on 17 March in 1905 - three
days after his 26th birthday - Einstein submitted a paper
titled "A heuristic point of view concerning the
production and transformation of light" to Annalen der
Physik.
Einstein suggested that, from a thermodynamic
perspective, light can be described as if it consists of
independent quanta of energy (Ann. Phys., Lpz 17
132-148).
This hypothesis, which had been tentatively proposed by
Max Planck a few years earlier, directly challenged the
deeply ingrained wave picture of light. However, Einstein
was able to use the idea to explain certain puzzles about
the way that light or other electromagnetic radiation
ejected electrons from a metal via the photoelectric
effect.
Maxwell's electrodynamics could not, for example, explain
why the energy of the ejected photoelectrons depended
only on the frequency of the incident light and not on
the intensity. However, this phenomenon was easy to
understand if light of a certain frequency actually
consisted of discrete packets or photons all with the
same energy.
Einstein would go on to receive the 1921 Nobel Prize for
Physics for this work, although the official citation
stated that the prize was also awarded "for his services
to theoretical physics".
"The arguments Einstein used in the photoelectric and
subsequent radiation theory are staggering in their
boldness and beauty," says Frank Wilczek, a theorist at
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who shared the
2004 Nobel Prize for Physics.
"He put forward revolutionary ideas that both inspired
decisive experimental work and helped launch quantum
theory." Although not fully appreciated at the time,
Einstein's work on the quantum nature of light was the
first step towards establishing the wave-particle duality
of quantum particles.
On 30 April, one month before his paper on the
photoelectric effect appeared in print, Einstein
completed his second 1905 paper, in which he showed how
to calculate Avogadro's number and the size of molecules
by studying their motion in a solution.
This article was accepted as a doctoral thesis by the
University of Zurich in July, and published in a slightly
altered form in Annalen der Physik in January 1906.
Despite often being obscured by the fame of his papers on
special relativity and the photoelectric effect,
Einstein's thesis on molecular dimensions became one of
his most quoted works.
Indeed, it was his preoccupation with statistical
mechanics that formed the basis of several of his
breakthroughs, including the idea that light was
quantized.
After finishing a doctoral thesis, most physicists would
be either celebrating or sleeping. But just 11 days later
Einstein sent another paper to Annalen der Physik, this
time on the subject of Brownian motion.
In this paper, "On the movement of small particles
suspended in stationary liquids required by the
molecular-kinetic theory of heat", Einstein combined
kinetic theory and classical hydrodynamics to derive an
equation that showed that the displacement of Brownian
particles varies as the square root of time (Ann. Phys.,
Lpz 17 549-560).
This was confirmed experimentally by Jean Perrin three
years later, proving once and for all that atoms do
exist. In fact, Einstein extended his theory of Brownian
motion in an additional paper that he sent to the journal
on 19 December, although this was not published until
February 1906.
A special discovery
Shortly after finishing his paper on Brownian motion
Einstein had an idea about synchronizing clocks that were
spatially separated.
_______________________
Adapted from "The Mechanical Universe"
Episode 43: Velocity and Time
In the 1800s Michael Faraday discovered, or I should say
formalized, electromagnetic induction. Given a coil of
wire and a bar magnet...
F = qE + qv x B
Holding the coil stationary and moving the bar magnet
produced an electric current in the coil. Similarly
holding the bar magnet stationary and moving the coil
also produced an electric current in the coil.
But in the language of electrodynamics of the day the two
cases were distinct independent phenomena that had
completely different explanations.
When Albert Einstein saw that, he said "Look guys, you've
just got to be kidding--Any yo-yo can see that these are
the same thing".
So it was this little experiment that was really the
start of relativity, not the Michelson-Morley
Experiment--not some exotic experiment to detect the
motion of the earth through the aether.
With this simple little phenomenon, that of course
everybody knew about, disturbed nobody else, but Albert
Einstein.
This led him to write a paper that landed on the desks of
Annalen der Physik on 30 June, and would go on to
completely overhaul our understanding of space and time.
Some 30 pages long and containing no references, his
fourth 1905 paper was titled "On the electrodynamics of
moving bodies" (Ann. Phys., Lpz 17 891-921).
In the 200 or so years before 1905, physics had been
built on Newton's laws of motion, which were known to
hold equally well in stationary reference frames and in
frames moving at a constant velocity in a straight line.
Provided the correct "Galilean" rules were applied, one
could therefore transform the laws of physics so that
they did not depend on the frame of reference.
However, the theory of electrodynamics developed by
Maxwell in the late 19th century posed a fundamental
problem to this "principle of relativity" because it
suggested that electromagnetic waves always travel at the
same speed.
Either electrodynamics was wrong or there had to be some
kind of stationary "ether" through which the waves could
propagate.
_______________________
I just want to read to you the first two paragraphs of
Einsteins 4th paper...
ON THE ELECTRODYNAMICS OF MOVING BODIES
By A. Einstein
June 30, 1905
It is known that Maxwell's electrodynamics--as usually
understood at the present time--when applied to moving
bodies, leads to asymmetries which do not appear to be
inherent in the phenomena.
Take, for example, the reciprocal electrodynamic action
of a magnet and a conductor. The observable phenomenon
here depends only on the relative motion of the conductor
and the magnet, whereas the customary view draws a sharp
distinction between the two cases in which either the one
or the other of these bodies is in motion. For if the
magnet is in motion and the conductor at rest, there
arises in the neighbourhood of the magnet an electric
field with a certain definite energy, producing a current
at the places where parts of the conductor are situated.
But if the magnet is stationary and the conductor in
motion, no electric field arises in the neighbourhood of
the magnet. In the conductor, however, we find an
electromotive force, to which in itself there is no
corresponding energy, but which gives rise--assuming
equality of relative motion in the two cases
discussed--to electric currents of the same path and
intensity as those produced by the electric forces in the
former case.
Examples of this sort, together with the unsuccessful
attempts to discover any motion of the earth relatively
to the "light medium," suggest that the phenomena of
electrodynamics as well as of mechanics possess no
properties corresponding to the idea of absolute rest.
They suggest rather that, as has already been shown to (1)
the first order of small quantities, the same laws of
electrodynamics and optics will be valid for all frames
of reference for which the equations of mechanics hold
good. We will raise this conjecture (the purport of which
will hereafter be called the ``Principle of Relativity'')
to the status of a postulate,
and also introduce another postulate, which is only (2)
apparently irreconcilable with the former, namely, that
light is always propagated in empty space with a definite
velocity c which is independent of the state of motion of
the emitting body.
These two postulates suffice for the attainment of a
simple and consistent theory of the electrodynamics of
moving bodies based on Maxwell's theory for stationary
bodies.
The introduction of a "luminiferous ether" will prove
to be superfluous inasmuch as the view here to be
developed will not require an "absolutely stationary
space" provided with special properties, nor assign a
velocity-vector to a point of the empty space in which
electromagnetic processes take place.
And, of course the paper goes on to develop the ideas
and make his case...
_______________________
True to style, Einstein
swept away the concept of the ether (which, in any case,
had not been detected experimentally) in one audacious
step. He postulated that no matter how fast you are
moving, light will always appear to travel at the same
velocity: the speed of light is a fundamental constant of
nature that cannot be exceeded.
Combined with the requirement that the laws of physics
are the identical in all "inertial" (i.e.
non-accelerating) frames, Einstein built a completely new
theory of motion that revealed Newtonian mechanics to be
an approximation that only holds at low, everyday
speeds.
The theory later became known as the special theory of
relativity - special because it applies only to
non-accelerating frames - and led to the realization that
space and time are intimately linked to one another.
In order that the two postulates of special relativity
are respected, strange things have to happen to space and
time, which, unbeknown to Einstein, had been predicted by
Lorentz and others the previous year.
For instance, the length of an object becomes shorter
when it travels at a constant velocity, and a moving
clock runs slower than a stationary clock.
Effects like these have been verified in countless
experiments over the last 100 years, but in 1905 the most
famous prediction of Einstein's theory was still to come.
After a short family holiday in Serbia, Einstein
submitted his fifth and final paper of 1905 on 27
September. Just three pages long and titled "Does the
inertia of a body depend on its energy content?", this
paper presented an "afterthought" on the consequences of
special relativity, which culminated in a simple equation
that is now known as E = mc^2 (Ann. Phys., Lpz 18
639-641).
This equation, which was to become the most famous in all
of science, was the icing on the cake.
"The special theory of relativity, culminating in the
prediction that mass and energy can be converted into one
another, is one of the greatest achievements in physics -
or anything else for that matter," says Wilczek.
"Einstein's work on Brownian motion would have merited a
sound Nobel prize, the photoelectric effect a strong
Nobel prize, but special relativity and E = mc^2 were
worth a super-strong Nobel prize."
However, while not doubting the scale of Einstein's
achievements, many physicists also think that his 1905
discoveries would have eventually been made by others.
"If Einstein had not lived, people would have stumbled on
for a number of years, maybe a decade or so, before
getting a clear conception of special relativity," says
Ed Witten of the Institute for Advanced Study in
Princeton.
't Hooft agrees. "The more natural course of events would
have been that Einstein's 1905 discoveries were made by
different people, not by one and the same person," he
says. However, most think that it would have taken much
longer - perhaps a few decades - for Einstein's general
theory of relativity to emerge.
Indeed, Wilczek points out that one consequence of
general relativity being so far ahead of its time was
that the subject languished for many years afterwards.
The aftermath
By the end of 1905 Einstein was starting to make a name
for himself in the physics community, with Planck and
Philipp Lenard - who won the Nobel prize that year -
among his most famous supporters. Indeed, Planck was a
member of the editorial board of Annalen der Physik at
the time.
Einstein was finally given the title of Herr Doktor from
the University of Zurich in January 1906, but he remained
at the patent office for a further two and a half years
before taking up his first academic position at Zurich.
By this time his statistical interpretation of Brownian
motion and his bold postulates of special relativity were
becoming part of the fabric of physics, although it would
take several more years for his paper on light quanta to
gain wide acceptance.
1905 was undoubtedly a great year for physics, and for
Einstein. "You have to go back to quasi-mythical figures
like Galileo or especially Newton to find good
analogues," says Wilczek.
"The closest in modern times might be Dirac, who, if
magnetic monopoles had been discovered, would have given
Einstein some real competition!" But we should not forget
that 1905 was just the beginning of Einstein's legacy.
His crowning achievement - the general theory of
relativity - was still to come.

Einstein made it clear that different observers would *not* record
the same events. For your viewing pleasure lool at
http://www.learner.org/resources/series42.html
42. The Lorentz Transformation
If the speed of light is to be the same for all observers, then
the length of a meter stick, or the rate of a ticking clock,
depends on who measures it.
43. Velocity and Time
Einstein is motivated to perfect the central ideas of physics,
resulting in a new understanding of the meaning of space and time.

You've got to admit that his theories have out lived the man. If fact
there has never been a prediction of either special relativity or
general relativity that's been contradicted by an observation. Pretty
important contribution actually.

Relativistic errors are ~50,000 ns/day.

You don't care if you are right or wrong. If your amazing use of
confirmation bias finds something that agrees with you, somehow that
proves you are 100% correct. If someone else finds something that
explicitly disagrees with you [like, say, the actual GPS spec], hey
it's just a test of faith, or otherwise irrelevant to your belief
system.
Whatever is missing in your life can't be found here. Go hug your
grandkids or something, we can't fill that hole in your soul.
Yup, just got myself to speed. The GPS spec that fat Gisse found was
indeed obsolete. The newer one found by you had the same ranging
equation on page 1-14 that is similar to the one found at Androcle's
website below.

My grandkids are at least 15 years away. I am hoping at least 20. In
due time, I also hope to hug my grandkids. How about you, fat Gisse?
You need to get that BS degree fist.
Those are receiver specifications. They are irrelevant to the
discussion because the relativistic corrections are applied to the
clocks the GPS satellites carry so the receivers don't have to carry
one.

Um, no. It does not.
Androcles, in his infinite capacity of non-understanding, is
referencing receiver information off a manufacturer's website. Why he
would do that, when the whole debate is about the satellites, is an
interesting question that I do not believe him cogent enough to

You cut your education too short, Koobee... But they say ignorance
is bliss.
I gave you the above references to sort out the 1.023 and
10.23 MHz. Koobee. Now here is were you read about relativity
http://edu-observatory.org/gps/gps_books.html#Relativity
Since the guys who follow sci.physics.relativity, also, follow
sci.physics, I will mainly reply on the latter. I'll do that because
I have DISPROVED his theories of relativity by invalidating M-M. My
own research and experimentation drives the 'Last Nails in Einstein's
Coffin' (or seals the 'mason jar' on his would-have-been brain.)
Differences in the observations of the 'same event' caused by
differences in one's motion and/or location got 'explained' by
Einstein because he had HORRIBLE space visualization skills. He just
assumed that everyone else had those same problems... and would thus
benefit from his pre-school level rhetoric. Surveyors, engineers and
architects--who regularly deal with spatial relationships--don't have
need for relativity to "equalize" observations. Much can be learned
from viewing things in different ways! -- NoEinstein
What a load of crap.

Dear Sparring Partners: I am glad to read articles that Sam Wormley
was moved by. As in defending one's self from prosecution for some
crime, telling a story filled with as many bits and pieces of the
truth as possible can lend credibility to, and even disguise, the
errors (not always intentional 'lies'-just falsehoods) in the whole
story. The main errors I read in Sam's attachment were:
1. "That light never travels faster than velocity 'c'." If you will
read my 'headline' article, you should (if you only would) see that
light CAN speed up and still get to the target in the same amount of
TIME-because the target (or the intermediate mirrors) always speed up
(or slow down) the exact same amount at each particular component
(azimuth) of the velocity vector of the Earth. "Going in" M-M was
analyzed with the assumption that light can't exceed 'c'... Why didn't
anyone, before yours truly, at least "test" the idea that light speeds
up or slows down in the exact same way that sound does coming from a
moving train? The simple test is mathematical, and only requires the
writing of eight algebraic equations. The problem? Physicists, such
as with Lorentz and Einstein, have very poor space-visualization
aptitudes. They can't visualize what is happening with a moving
system well enough to begin to write an equation to explain it.
2. If one stares at turgid water, and notices that the litter on top
is getting kicked about, is it really difficult to concur that there
might be fish or other things in the water causing the movement?
Einstein was famous for his 'equations', but the man performed less
actual math than most middle schoolers have to do to pass 9th grade
algebra. Whatever the results of observations, Einstein was quick to
proclaim: "See, 'that' is what I predicted!" The biggest proof of
that 'tendency' of his was his SR equation. Einstein had absolutely
ZERO idea how much energy was in a unit of mass. He figured it was a
lot, because the caloric tests of heavier organic materials (like
coal) yielded more heat than, say, wood. But after that first atom
bomb test, Einstein said: "See, my predictions were correct!" (sic)
No man in the history of the world has had more other men willing to
shoe-horn the interpretation of observations in nature to agree with
him. Why did this happen? Because his "equations only" explanations
of things leave it up to others to figure WHAT the values of his
variables actually are. Everything Einstein 'predicted' was AFTER THE
FACT-never before! His 'prediction' of that 1919 solar eclipse's
effect on the reappearance of obscured stars, was actually just a
simple extrapolation of ACTUAL observations by an astronomer friend,
of the deviations of the returns of the moons of Jupiter. But
Einstein lied and claimed that his difficult GR equations made the
predictions.
3. James Clerk Maxwell has his 'name dropped', continually, to lend
credibility to this or that theory or statement by anyone. Is his
status justified? Maxwell was the man who suggested that A. A.
Michelson use his new interferometer design (It's NOT an invention,
because interference occurs accidentally in nature, too.) to try to
measure the slowing of the velocity of light by the assumed all-
pervasive ether in the Universe. Sounds like an astute
recommendation, does it not? Actually, it is one of the DUMBEST, off-
the-cuff suggestions ever to come from the mouth of a supposed
physicist! Guys, please 'imagine' for a moment: Light 'should be'
slowed by the ether out there. Right? And the faster the Earth moves
into the ether, the more the light should be slowed. Right? So, by
using interference to measure how much the light is slowed at various
azimuths it 'should' be possible to determine the velocity and the
direction of Earth's movement in the cosmos. Wonderful! But wait a
minute... Wasn't the REASON that the M-M experiment was performed to
measure the SLOWING cause by ether? But what about the SPEEDING UP of
light by shining it in the direction 180 degrees opposite to the
Earth's velocity vector? That is analogous to driving a boat down
stream-WITH the current. The former is like driving the boat UP
STREAM and AGAINST the current. What difference does it make? For
starters: the Lorentz-FitzGerald "contraction factor" Beta might (if
it could, but it doesn't) correct for the absence of observed phase
shifts in M-M at the target in the SUBTRACTIVE direction. But that
equation makes no provision for STRETCHING the length of the
experiment (or 'ruler') when the light is shining in the ADDITIVE
direction! Sort of kills their explanation, doesn't it! AND it
especially kills Maxwell as a "deep thinker" because: IF the ether in
the Universe WERE capable of SLOWING (or SPEEDING UP) the velocity of
light, then, the Earth would not exist! Why?! Because light from the
Sun would be slowed, more and more, in traveling toward the Earth, and
it would not have a chance to 'get here' at all!!
Sam, you like to read stuff written by those who support your God,
Einstein. But do you ENJOY reading that I have disproved him? Will
your HUGE ego-and those of the majority of the Einsteiniacs visiting
this post-allow you to accept the TRUTH? Probably not. Though I feel
sorry for you, I don't feel compelled to let your feelings about what
is 'reality' deter me from dethroning the man. It is said: "The
bigger they are, the harder they fall." But Einstein was such a small
man... that his aches fell into the river with little more than Brownian
motion.

I will be more specific. Show me the data about light bending in
twice the Newtonian prediction, and please don't present the nonsense
of Sir Eddington's 1919 expeditions.
I am continuously learning. In doing so, I have seen the things that
you cannot see. That is the nonsense in both SR and GR. <shrug>
Oh, don't worry. I won't blame the nonsense on your idol Einstein.
Since Einstein was a nitwit, a plagiarist, and a liar, he had
absolutely nothing to do with the nonsense in SR and GR. <shrug>
Einstein rings are a good start for verifications.

That light bends at twice the Newtonian prediction is a textbook
exercise, and has been known since day one.

Einstein's derivation of twice Newtonian result was totally hand-
waving. It cannot be done with the field equations only. You must
also have the metric identified. 0.87" comes from g_00, and another
0.87" comes from g_11. <shrug>

This still does not prove the angle of bending is twice the Newtonian
result.

There is no need to whine over something that is a pure lie. You
still have no experimental proof that the angle of bending is twice
the Newtonian amount. <shrug>
However, I am not surprised that you will continue to whine about
something that does not exist or is true. <shrug>
This is just an example. There are actually very few experimental
results that support SR and GR. <shrug>

Hey, that would be very nice. However, you won't do anyone any good
if you are also under the hypnotic spell of the Einstein
Dingleberries. <shrug> Let's see.
The time dilation part seems to have been observed. However, this
does not validate SR because the Lorentz transform, in which SR is
merely an interpretation to the mathematics of the Lorentz transform,
indicates symmetric time dilation (principle of relativity). You need
to find an experiment that proves the symmetric time dilation of SR.
In doing so, you will have to embrace the nonsense imposed by the
twin's paradox. Then, you will have to dig yourself out of that
ridiculous predicament. <shrug>
Gravitational redshift can be explained much better through Newtonian
physics. So, what good is GR? <shrug> Also, have you researched on
how Einstein actually concluded a gravitational redshift. Through
Doppler shift! Perhaps, you would understand how I would call
Einstein a nitwit after this.
Gravitational deflection of photons being twice the Newtonian result
has never been thoroughly verified by any experimentation. The 1919
expedition of Sir Eddington was a total joke. <shrug>
Calculations on Mercury's orbital anomaly totally miss the factor on
how fast a planet can complete an orbit. Instead, the mathematics
dwells only on the actual distortion in the geometry itself. On top
of that, you still need to decide if geodesics follow the path with
the maximum accumulated spacetime (mainstream) or the path with the
least accumulated time. For the latter, it is the only way for GR to
predict a gravitational bending of photons. For the former, it would
never allow any photons to propagate through space or spacetime.
However, this absurd hypothesis is how the most popular calculation is
done on Mercury. You need to resolve the internal conflict first
before moving on.
Your quest is indeed monumental. <shrug> Good luck.

Empirical data will do just fine, you old engineering fart!
Your empirical data gives you a large numbers of degrees of freedom in
interpretations in which you can interpret anyway that fits the
political agenda of the day. So, what is good with your empirical
data anyway, Mr. Wormlike?
Did you never use empirical data in engineering?
