This is truly unbelievable. The engineers made the GPS work without
any garbage hypotheses called the general and the special theories of
relativity. See the great reference below.
http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/GPS/GPS.htm
Before the construction of the GPS, many Larmor-Lorentz-Poincare-
Hilbert worshippers (where these men's works were misidentified as
Einstein's) went on to pooh-pooh the idea of building such a system on
SR. In GPS, there are two circuits of satellites. According to these
Einsteinians, the satellites of each circuit would not be able to
synchronize their clocks with satellites from the other circuit. Now,
of course, GPS works. They not only changed the dancing tune that the
clocks have no problems of synchronizing under the time dilation of
the Lorentz transformation. They started to spread the false
conceptions that GPS can only work with the fouled up concept of GR
and SR. This is truly irresponsible for anyone working in the
academics world to do so.
Prove it, old unemployed fart. Use math, not your standard rhetorical
shit.
How about a _real_ reference that from someone who doesn't base their

"First, there is the effect of time dilation. The velocity of a moving clock causes it to appear to run slow
relative to a clock on the Earth. GPS satellites revolve around the Earth with an orbital period of 11.967
hours and a velocity of 3.874 km/s. Thus on account of its velocity, a GPS satellite clock appears to run
slow by 7 us per day.
Second, there is the effect of the gravitational redshift, a frequency shift caused by the difference in
gravitational potential. (The term "redshift" is generic regardless of sign, but for a satellite clock the
frequency shift is actually a blueshift.) The difference in gravitational potential between the altitude of
the orbit and the surface of the Earth causes the satellite clock to appear to run fast. At an altitude of
20,184 km, the clock appears to run fast by 45 us per day."
I've read your fucking bullshit, the operative word is "appears", because it doesn't actually happen,
NOR CAN IT.

Regardless of the effects of GR and SR, they play no role in designing
of GPS. GR and SR effects were applied to your references after the
GPS system was built and in operation. With all satellites
synchronized, it is a matter of solving 4 equations with 4 unknowns to
determine all parameters of space and time.
The bottom line is that engineers seem to be orders of magnitude way
more clever than the physicists. There is no need to call engineers
idiots for that. <shrug>
If you read Uncle Stoooopid's paper you'll see that the claim is for blue shift.
http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/ptti/ptti2002/paper20.pdf
Wherein it says:
"(The term "redshift" is generic regardless of sign, but for a satellite clock the frequency
shift is actually a blueshift.) The difference in gravitational potential between the altitude of
the orbit and the surface of the Earth causes the satellite clock to appear to run fast.
At an altitude of 20,184 km, the clock appears to run fast by 45 us per day."
Note: No calculation, just the same old lie repeated.
Taking off the supposed 7 usec per day for SR, we have (supposedly) 38 usec per day
to dally with.
Cars crawl along Ford and GM assembly lines at a rate of one every 30 seconds
no matter how fast they are driven to the parking lot to await shipment, and they'll
arrive in the lot at one every 30 seconds, there are no extra cars (or extra 30 seconds).
Now, a GPS satellite transmits its position and time continuously, operating
in the GHz range. My computer (and yours too, probably) operates above
1 GHz.
38 usec is a long time for a computer, enough for (say) one position update.
So there are 2,273,684,210 positional updates per day transmitted and because
of blueshift, 2,273,684,211 positional updates per day received.
What was the extra position?
That's what Uncle Stoooopid wants us to believe, and that really is as stupid as it
can be. It's a violation of conservation of energy to say the least, producing pulses
out of nothing by magic.
Of course the rate of arrival is EXACTLY the same as the rate of transmission,
there is no "blueshift", even if the pulses are accelerated by gravity like cars
doing 100 mph from the end of the assembly line to the parking lot.

Incorrect. Satellite number 1 was launched with the capability
to change clock rates: one rate with the GR correction, one without.
It ran for several days (20-some, I believe) with the uncorrected
clock while time-drift data was collected, after which the GR
correction was switched in.
Every clock since then has been calibrated to the GR-corrected
clock rate, not the earth clock rate.
In other words, that correction was part of the design from before
the launch, beginning with the first satellite.

No, not "all parameters". All the *unknown* parameters, once
the clock rate has been taken out of the equations by
virtue of being pre-calibrated.

The engineers wisely listened to the physicists and built
the GR correction into the clocks.

GPS works all over the USA regardless of time zone.
New York is five hours behind London and so is Pittsburgh,
LA is 8 hours adrift.
All that matters to GPS is the clocks are synchronised.
I doesn't matter if they are all fast or all slow, as long as they
are all the same.

This may be true in which I won't even contest. However, 1 satellite

So, you don't know, and you just make up the history. Is that it?

If on a periodic basis that I can synchronize all the clocks in the

This is not the case with four satellites in the receiver calculation.

Shrugging Koobee Wublee *fails* to understand that the PVT
solution is pretty worthless without GTR corrected satellite
clocks. Shrugging Koobee Wublee further *fails* to understand
that satellite clock steering is orders of magnitude smaller
that the cumulative error without GTR corrections. Moreover GPS
was designed to operate autonomously without intervention for
up to six months.
Shrugging Koobee Wublee *fails* to understand that not all the
required relativistic corrections are via clock offset. Reminds
me of Blustering Potter.
And you PRETEND to know GR? Exposed you again, shiforbrains.
How would you "synchronize the clocks" you old unemployed (and
unemployable) fart?
The clocks on the ground and the clocks in the satellites run at
different rates, so show us how would you synchronize them.
Equations only, not your standard weaseling rhetoric.
Now , watch to scumbag Kobee Wobling scurry away like a bubonic
plagued rat.
Oh, your right.
NTS-2 is launched, and it is found that the relativistic effect is not
only real, but significant. What do the engineers of the global
positioning system do? They ignore the NTS-2 results, and forge ahead
anyway. They then compute the effect not by using general relativity,
but by working backwards from what they expect as the signal then
apply the completely empirical correction. All that, when they could
have simply used GR.
Wait, that makes _NO SENSE_. Especially because the GPS designers
explicitly took GR into account, and have stated that they do.
http://www.colorado.edu/engineering/GPS/Papers/RelativityinGPS.ps
Oh that's right, you and your weeping vagina can't cope with
postscript.
There is the living reviews site...
http://relativity.livingreviews.org/open?pubNo=lrr-2003-1
Oh wait, you have had this given to you dozens of times before and you
still don't get it...
How about NIST? They might know something about time keeping.
http://tf.nist.gov/time/oneway.htm
Here, how about the GPS specifications themselves?
http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/gps/geninfo/IS-GPS-200D.pdf
Page 28: "The SV carrier frequency and clock rates -- as they would
appear to an observer located in the SV -- are offset to compensate
for relativistic effects."
All of page 102.
Page 106 has a flow chart of correction effects, of which relativity
is an explicit member.
So are you going to stop lying, now that you have been given proof
that even you cannot deny? Or will you simply ignore everything I said
and continue to assert that GR is irrelevant to the design of GPS?

Furthermore: ---- Mode d'emploi au professeur Ashby:
which the NG Einstein-Dinglenerries always love to cite.
Ashby himself says in it after 39 equations (!... ahahaha) :
"The net correction for clock offset due to relativistic effects that
vary in time is "Delta t = + 4.4428*10^(-10)*e* sqrt...etc " ... (39)
and then continues to add. " Eq. (39) can be expressed *without*
approximation in the alternative form Delta t = + 2 r * v / c^2 ... (40)
where r and v are the position and velocity of the satellite at the
instant of transmission. This latter form is usually used in
implementations of the receiver software".... ahahahaha.... IOW,

Both way out of their depth and are too arrogant/stupid to know it?
I wonder what KW's real profession was.
I honestly doubt "engineer", which is the common refrain.
The engineers I know have a familiarity with mathematics that is
comparable to my own, but are better at applying it to real world
situations. One would think GPS would be the perfect application of
relativity for an engineer.

I don't know, but he had me fooled, temporarily. He waded
into a discussion about solutions to Einstein's field equations
and started talking about Schwarzschild metric and differential
geometry, so I assumed that he had some familiarity with physics.
But then he made an incredibly dumb statement, which is that for
the metric
ds^2 = c^2 dt^2 / (1 + K / r) - (1 + K / r) dr^2 - (r + K)^2 dO^2
the area of a sphere of constant r and t is
A = 4pi r^2
This is a mistaken worthy of a 15-year old. Make the substitution
r' = r+K, and you find that the area is 4 pi r'^2 = 4 pi (r+K)^2.
Then in a more recent thread, he said
Proper time = spacetime / speed of light
Clearly, he doesn't know even *special* relativity. He doesn't
the basics of calculus or physics. So why in the world does
he get into *arguments* about them? It's as if I argued about
the proper pronunciation of a particular word in Basque. I
don't know *anything* about Basque, and Koobee doesn't know
anything about relativity. Why does he pretend otherwise?
Why does he go so far as to *correct* people who do know
something about relativity?
Bizarre behavior, even for a crackpot.

Now THOSE have a bit of real meaning.to them !
Personally I don't see that it really matters whether the adjustment are
done via some pre-calculated setting in the clock or via a closed loop.
What is relevant is that GR and SR correctly predict what the
offsets/corrections/whatever-you-want-to-call-them should be. ie that there
are SR and GR effects.
The mechanism the GPS uses to account for them isn't particularly important
(except to the engineers designing it), as long as they do get taken into
account one way or the other.
HAHAHA! That's like asking the Pope how virgin births are possible.
It would be miraculous if he could explain a miracle.
It is written, therefore it has to be true.
The really ironic part is Wormshit calling anyone "Blustering" because quite
clearly that is what Wormshit is doing.
Randy,
explain how you build a "GR correction into <an atomic> clock.".
And assuming that it was possible to make GPS atomic clocks
oscillate at something other than the natural frequency
of the atomic process,
explain how you can be sure that "a GR correction" was used,
rather than Galileo correction, a Newton correction,
a Maxwell correction, or a correction determine by
using empirical data?
I suggest that you patent your process of
making atomic clocks oscillate at some desired frequency,
while maintaining their short and long term stabilities,
as this would be a very useful technique.
And you should publish a scientific paper to show
how one determines what model or person to credit
"corrections" to, as this would be a major breakthrough in logic.
An atomic clock doesn't "tick" once per second. You can correct the time
claculated from the clock iwth whatever clculations you like .. you don't
need to change the natural frequency of the atomic process ..just how you
interpret it
You set the tick rate to be 446.47 parts per trillion slower than the
tick rate of an identical clock meant to be run on earth, since
GR predicts that ticks from that clock will appear to be generated
at a rate 446.47 ppt higher on station than when it is on earth.
> And assuming that it was possible to make GPS atomic clocks
> oscillate at something other than the natural frequency
> of the atomic process,
High-precision clocks, such as quartz watches and the clocks in
your PC, have circuits called frequency dividers or frequency
synthesizers. The tick rate is derived from the natural frequency,
but it isn't the same as the natural frequency.
Here's the description from the original NTS-2 experiment:
http://www.leapsecond.com/history/1978-PTTI-v9-NTS-2.pdf
"On Day 215,1977, the NTS-2 PRO-5 output signal
was offset {Fig. 21) through the use of a frequency synthesizer {4) .
Closer frequency synchronization to the UTC rate is obtainable by
use of cesium C-field tuning which provides a resolution of
1.3 pp10^13."
So through circuitry, they were able to adjust the output
frequency in steps of 0.13 parts per trillion.
Nowadays, GPS satellite clocks aren't designed for this
dual-frequency operation. They just have their frequency
synthesizer circuitry preset for the GR-predicted frequency.
> explain how you can be sure that "a GR correction" was used,
Because the number is the one predicted by GR.
> rather than Galileo correction, a Newton correction,

Because the number isn't predicted by any of those.
- Randy
All atomic clocks produce counts at something other than
the natural frequency of the atomic process.
> explain how you can be sure that "a GR correction" was used,
> rather than Galileo correction, a Newton correction,
> a Maxwell correction, or a correction determine by

As for the question of "empirical data", the reason we know
this is that the experiment happened AFTER the prediction
was made and the correcting hardware built into the GPS
satellite NTS-2.

That is correct. The area of a sphere as observed by the observer
using the coordinate system of (t, r, O) is always (4 pi r^2)
regardless of the metric.

This shows you do not understand the relations among the actual,

But, based on my long experience on sci.physics, there is yet another
(and not especially rare) category, the people whom Feynmann called
"cargo cult scientists". People who are not only ignorant of the
meanings behind the terminology but don't even realize that there are
any meanings behind the terminology. Rather, for them it is just a
collection of magical spells which will generate some profound results
if only chanted properly. So, they're capable of uttering gibberish
while actually, really, truly believing that they say something
valuable and important. Pitiful.

Because the clock offset is updated once a day. During that
time the GPS satellite must keep in sync with GPS-time to within
a few tens of ns, (33 ns error = 10 meter error in position)
During one day, the GPS clock would drift off sync by 38 us
if the clock were not corrected. That's a thousand times more
than what can be accepted.

The four clocks in the receiver calculation is to eliminate the need
for a precise clock in the _receiver_.
The clocks in _all_ the four satellites has to be correct within
a few tens of ns.

Yes, that's true.
But as you said - the four satellites has to be in sync with
each other - to within a few tens of ns.
And how do you think this is achieved?
The satellites are _not_ communicating with each other.
Each satellite is individually synced to the GPS-time
_from the ground_.
So to be in sync with each other, each and every satellite
must be in sync with the GPS-coordinated time.
And to do that, its rate must be correct to within one part
in 10^12. Without the GR-correction, the rate would be 4.46*10^-10
too fast.

And the t is the time of the receiver.

few tens of ns.

It is a fact that the GPS clocks are adjusted to run slow
by a factor 4.4647*10^-10 prior to launch.
It is a fact that to stay in sync with the GPS-coordinated time
within the required precision, the clocks must not drift off
sync by more than 100 ns during each time the clock offset
is updated - typically a day. That means that the rate of
the clocks must be correct within 100ns/24h = ca. 10^-12,
which is in the order of the precision of the clocks.
It is thus a fact that without the correction,
the GPS wouldn't work.
But you are right - there is no problem.
The engineers were wise enough to listen to the physicist.
(Even if they didn't quite trust them, as the story about
the first satellite illustrates.)
The GPS works fine.
Paul
GR and SR effects are part of how GPS works. It cannot work 'without' them.
Because the effects are real.
SR is symmetric when you do symmetric things.
GR is not symmetric.
Get it, fuck face?
Then why do the GPS specifications specifically refer, on multiple
occasions, to relativistic corrections?
[snip remaining drool]
It appears that Gisse has never written a government specification,
or report.
Salesmen and grant seekers get things written into specs
and reports that promote their agenda.
And when I was young and wrote a government report,
I like all young, naive people,
** parroted ** what I read in other specs and reports,
and stressed the buzz words
that my agenda-driven supervisor directed me to stress.
I must point out to Gisse, and other young high school grads,
that "closed loop" systems are far superior
to open loop systems that are based on some model,
or the transfer function of some system.
And here is how a "closed loop" system works.
1. You make a model of what you want the system to do.
(Cam, function generator, constant (Fixed offset), etc.)
2. You compare what the system you want to control is doing.
(GPS system, audio amplifier, automobile velocity, Robot path, etc.)
with what you want the system to do.
3. If the system output varies from the model,
you use "negative feedback"
to force the system to comply with you model.
Open loop systems went out in the early 1900's.
Letting a system go about its' business
presenting you with its' transfer function,
or some open loop fixed model is fine,
if you like to sit around and sense (Watch, hear, feel, etc.)
random patterns, or patterns mapped to a fixed model,
but when intelligent beings
(Including a chicken crossing a road.)
want to navigate in a real world,
where the environment is modulated by things,
they don't operate "open loop",
they operate "closed loop".
Only fools, rocks, and ignorant people
operate "open loop".
Even the people that write specs don't operate "open loop".
The put things in the specs that try to force the system
(Powered by taxpayers.)
to do what they want the system to do.

glorify them or their race, religion or nationality, etc.)

Hopefully Gisse will post how the patent he refers to
"makes atomic clocks oscillate at some desired frequency,
while maintaining their short and long term stabilities."
As an example perhaps Gisse can explain how the
process would make the "atomic clock"
oscillated about 1% lower in frequency.
Does it adjust voltage, capacitance, inductance, pressure,
or what to get the "atomic clock" to oscillator
at a different frequency Gisse?
And how much do you have to adjust the independent variable
to get the dependent variable, the frequency of the atomic clock
to oscillate 1% lower?

It is interesting to see that Gisse
does not know that the GPS system

Potter, don't you know how a frequency synthesizer works? I mistakenly
thought you knew!
1) Nobody but you is arguing about control systems.
2) Saying that relativistic corrections are not used despite being
explicitly mentioned in the specifications at least a half dozen times
is fucking stupid.
Why would I know or care about the specific details of how atomic
clocks work? It isn't an open problem - it has been solved for
decades.
If I want to know, I'll do the research or ask someone at NIST rather
than ask a retired salesman whose only contact with the technology was
when he was selling it to those who are competent enough to utilize
it.
Potty makes an interesting point.
Juvenile of Weak Reasoning is encouraged by positive feedback such as the
Roberts's, Baez's and the rest of the kook's insanity, whereas the negative
feedback you are attempting to apply to him has gone open loop, disconnected.
IOW he doesn't listen.
As he says himself, "I don't give a shit...".
That attitude means I don't give a shit about him either, and bingo, we have open loop.

The synchronization does not last - the GPS clock runs fast.

In reality the synchronization is once per day, and the correction is
on the order of nanoseconds. Without it, the synchronization would
have to be every...hey whats 38,000 divided by 86400?
Yea, synchronizing every half second or so is _much_ more preferrable
than synchronizing every day. What were those idiotic engineers
thinking?

Relativistic Effects on Satellite Clocks
http://relativity.livingreviews.org/open?pubNo=lrr-2003-1&page=node5.html
When anti-relativists make this statement, I truly wonder if they
believe anything that comes out of their mouths. Does anyone
really believe this statement? Do they really think that a watch
that gains an hour a day is just as good as one that gains a second
a day, as long as you set each one to the correct time once a
day?
The difference in gain rate is close to 2000: Before the correction,
the drift is about 38000 ns per day. After, it's about 20 ns per day.
Let's imagine you and I each have a watch that gains an hour
a day. Once a day we consult a master clock and reset our
watches to be correct. We don't do this at the same time as
each other, nor do we do it at exactly the same time each day.
After a couple of days of never being able to answer when people
ask me the time, I go to the watch repair shop and have my rate
adjusted so I now gain only one second per day. Now when people
ask me the time, I tell it to them and guarantee that that time is
correct
within one second.
When they ask you, you tell them it could be up to an hour off.
Are we giving the same quality of time service to people asking the
time? Are these two watches truly equivalent if you want an accurate
time service 24 hours a day within one second? By all means tell
me how you'd engineer such a service around your watch.

I shall ignore Andersen here, he's a fool, but this is something you and I should discuss.
The document is signed
"Jorge Pullin
Tue Feb 4 22:28:54 EST 1997"
It appears to be a mid-term or end-of-term student thesis addressed to Neil Ashby,
hence the identity of the originator is uncertain.
Vague reference is made to something he calls "The Sagnac effect", without
stating what this "Sagnac effect" is.
"The Sagnac effect has an important influence on the system. Since most GPS users are at rest or nearly so on earth's surface, it would be highly desirable to synchronize clocks in a rotating frame fixed to the earth (an Earth-Fixed, Earth-Centered Frame or ECEF Frame). However because the earth rotates, this is prevented by the Sagnac effect, which is large enough in the GPS to be significant. Inconsistencies occurring in synchronization processes conducted on the Earth's surface by using light signals, or with slowly moving portable clocks, are path-dependent and can be many dozens of nanoseconds, too large to tolerate in the GPS. Thus the Sagnac effect forces a different choice for synchronization convention. "
It is instructive to analyze the effect thusly:
Let us suppose we have two satellites, one close to the Eastern horizon and one close to the
Western horizon, each with a line-of-sight signal to the receiver and both transmit their position
and time simultaneously. I shall ignore refraction through atmosphere for the moment
and deal with that separately. We further assume for the sake of simplicity that the receiver
is equidistant between satellites at the epoch of transmission.
Time passes, the Earth rotates, The E satellite rises higher in the sky and the W satellite sets
in the west, out of sight. The receiver is closer to the E satellite and further from the W
satellite when the signals arrive, and of course we compute the speed of the signals
as distance/time by definition. Clearly these speeds are
Speed(E) = |(X - deltaX)/(T-deltaT)|
Speed(W) = |(X +deltaX)/(T+deltaT)|
Since speed(E) =/= speed(W), the speed of light is not the same in all reference frames,
it isn't the same in just one. QED.
Amusingly, if we assume the speeds thus computed above are to both be c as supposed,
then Andersen's own infamous transformations come into full effect.
The Andersen transformations:
"That is, we can reverse the directions of the frames
which is the same as interchanging the frames,
which - as I have told you a LOT of times,
OBVIOUSLY will lead to the transform:
t = (tau-xi*v/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
x = (xi - v*tau)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
or:
tau = (t+xv/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
xi = (x + vt)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)" -Paul B. Andersen
The receiver is both time dilated and time contracted due to its motion toward
one satellite and away from the other, which is absurd.
Watch the Norwegian troll (tusseladd) snip and squirm or simply ignore his
own stupidity to hide his embarrassment.
Back to the "Sagnac effect".
Sagnac is essentially a Doppler shift, shown here:

The result is a beat frequency, thus:

Since a GPS receiver is a digital device and the signals arrive at different
times, Sagnac and Doppler play no part in calculating position.
There is a problem with "steering" the satellite, though (uploading data).
You need to know where it is to tell it where it is.
Back to refraction:
Light curves through atmosphere due to refraction, the E and W
satellites can both be "seen" when they are below the horizon.
This is why the GPS height calculation has an error of 30 metres as compared
to the horizontal error of 15 metres, and why the FAA has not approved
GPS for aircraft use. You can't land a plane 90 feet above the runway, let
alone 45 feet to the side of it.
The error is good enough to steer a cruise missile for military purposes,
but not good enough for civilian use.

It is clear from your comments below that you didn't understand
what I wrote above.
Another autist - impervious to external stimuli?
It doesn't matter what you think.
It is a fact that without the GR-correction, the GPS
- as it factually is designed and operated - wouldn't work.

One question:
How is simultaneity defined in the UTC?
(_Coordinated_ Universal Time)
Simultaneity is defined in exactly the same way in
the GPS-coordinated time.

I have, and that is complete crap. You are not distinguishing
between a spec for something which somebody has to actually
build based on what you're writing, and a proposal.

No, "grant seekers" and "salesmen" do not write specs. Writing
specs is not part of seeking a grant, bidding a contract, or trying
to sell widgets. Writing a spec is a thing you do when you are
delivering on a contract that you've already sold. It damned well
better be buildable.
The fact that you can't distinguish between a spec and a
prop makes me wonder whether *YOU* ever operated in this
area of the real world.

Hmm: Let Google decide.
"relativistic gps" 20 hits
"androcles is right" 5 hits.
See, Andro, you lose.
We do another run:
"relativity in gps" 2670 hits
"androcles is a scientist" 1 hit,
obviously arranged by Androcles himself.
Foul, very foul indeed.
Again, Androcles is the loser.
In the future we will more and more rely on the Google spider.
Discard elections, marketing research, religious issues,
and philosophical disputes. Just ask the Google Oracle.
Another one:
"hans hanson" "nice guy" 2 hits
"hans hanson" "asshole" 6 hits
Sorry, I did not make that up, nor did I influence the oracle
in any way. How could I possibly. The result is not an insult.
It's science.
Back again, let Google decide some controverse topic:
gps is relativistically corrected 551 hits
gps is not relativistically corrected 543 hits
(without quotes)
clear, but not overwhelmingly strong.
Should Google be unsure about the answer?
You know, oracles like to speak in mysterious conundrums.
relativity is essential for gps 186 000 hits
relativity is not essential for gps 133000 hits.
(no quotes)
Well, gentlemen, the issue may be put to rest.
We have founded a decision on almost absolute certainty,
and we may proceed to the next ...ahemm ... hehe,
Have phun!

If GR effect is true, all satellites should have the same effect.
This will not affect the synchronization issues. As long as the
clocks in these satellites are synchronized to themselves, it would
not affect any users on the ground using any 4 different satellites to
locate their positions.
So, what is the phantom problem you are raising?
To understand absolute simultaneity, you need to abandon the silly
Lorentz transform and thus SR.

Yes, absolute simultaneity. Only with absolute simultaneity, the
interference pattern of the MMX is possible.
