GPS atomic clock corrections without Einstein

Einstein's relativity theories give good results for the atomic clock
corrections in GPS satellites. GR predicts a speed up of 45900 nanosec
per day (due to lower gravitational field) and SR a slowdown of 7200
nanosecs per day (due to moving clock). The total is 38700 nanosec per
day which agrees well with experiment. The Einstein worshipping cult in
today's scientific establishment are making statements like this- "
There is no better illustration of the unpredictable payback of
fundamental science than the story of Albert Einstein and the Global
Positioning System...the next time your plane approaches an airport in
bad weather, and you just happen to be wondering 'what good is basic
science', think about Einstein and the GPS tracker in the cockpit,
guiding you to a safe landing."

So can all this be explained without Einstein? Yep, and it's a lot
simpler. GR effects can easily be explained by assuming light is slowed
down by a tiny amount in a gravitational field.

Consider an object of mass m approaching a planet of mass M from
infinite distance to distance R, it gains an energy of GmM/R
Consider a photon of light in outer space with an apparent mass m°=E/c²,
it would gain in apparent mass by an amount Gm°M/Rc² by entering the
gravitational field.

Now assume that linear momentum is preserved for the photon:
(m° + Gm°M/Rc²)v = m°c
where v is velocity of light in gravitational field, c is velocity in
outer space.
This gives v=c/[1 + GM/Rc²] as reduced speed of light in a gravitational
field.

Let's plug in values (SI units) for the Earth's surface:
R=6.378e6, G=6.67e-11, M=5.98e24, v=299,792,458.6
We only know the most accurate value of "c" on Earth, which is actually
v in this theory and the best current measurement (as far as I am aware)
for Earth's surface is 299,792,458.6 ± 0.3 m/sec by NBS in 1983.

Using a calculator with a built-in equation solver, this gives
c=299,792,458.8086 m/s in outer space, 21 cm/sec higher than the value
on the Earth's surface but the difference would be currently
undetectable since the current measurement capability has a standard
deviation of 30 cm/sec.

Now use this value of c to calculate v at the GPS satellite elevation of
R=26.6e6 metres. This gives v=299,792,458.7586 m/s, 15.86 cm/sec higher
than on Earth's surface. Due to the very slightly higher speed of light
at this elevation an atomic clock speeds up by a factor
299792458.7586/299792458.6 Now subtract 1 from this, then multiply by
86400 for the number of seconds in a day, then multiply by 10^9 to
convert seconds to nanoseconds and we get a value of 45,706 nanosecs per
day as the atomic clock gain, which is very close to the 45900 given by GR.

This simple theory does not require curved space-time which is a
consequence of insisting that c is constant. Also the speed up effect on
a clock is limited to an electomagnetically based clock like an atomic
clock. GR predicts all clocks would speed up (since time itself is being
modified), so leads to the paradox of a pendulum clock (if it was
possible to make a super accurate one) which should slow down as g
(accel due to gravity) reduces according to normal mechanics, speeding
up in a lower gravitational field according to GR.

The theory of light slowing down in a gravitational field can also be
applied to predict the deflection of starlight in a solar eclipse (which
was the original experimental evidence which led to the acceptance of
GR) and gives very good results. See this online paper->
http://publish.aps.org/eprint/gateway/eplist/aps1997aug08_002

The fairly small SR contribution to GPS atomic clock adjustment also
does not depend exclusively on Einstein. SR is mathematically equivalent
to LET (lorentz Ether Theory), an earlier theory developed by Lorentz.

Finally someone may have noticed I used E=mc² above which is surely a
major idea that can only be derived from SR? No, Einstein didn't invent
that either, the idea that E is at least proportional to mc² was
reasonably well known at the turn of the 20th century, Einstein simply
unified E=mc² into SR and had a habit of writing papers without any
supporting references. The history of other scientists contribution to
the E=mc² equation is given in this link->

Dave is right. Light speeds up as it falls to ground.

GPS clocks also speed up when in free fall.

GPS is do calculated as if
- there was no change in the speed of light
- there was no gravitational red-shift
- the clock-rate was a function of the graviatational potential
- the spacetime would be flat.

This is a good-enough approximation for the weak field of the Earth,
but it is neither and ether nor a GR based thing. However, it has much
closer to ether and Linear Relativity (special case of Brans-Dicke
gravitation) because of the definition of time. (time!=clock)

Of course all of these theories are describing the same thing,
therefore the same corrections will be applied. The difference is in
the interpretation. Is time or clock that is slowed down? If time,
then there is a graviational redshift. If clock then there is no
graviational redshift.

Dave is wrong and so are you. The radial velocity for light wrt the
remote observer is

dr/dt = (1-2M/r)

Figure it out Henri. M_Earth is .00444 meter. r_Earth is 6.371x10^6
meter. r_satellite is 26.6x10^6 meter.

The order of delta ratio is

dr/dt_satellite = 299,999,999.7 m/s / dr/dt_Earth = 299,999,999.6 m/s

The order of delta ratio is so miniscule as to not have any bearing on
any calculation for the GPS. You got it wrong because for the remote
observer the radial remote velocity of light decreases as r decreases.
For the local observer it is always measured as c in a vacuum. None of
this has anything to do with the delta time intervals measured between
GPS satellite and GPS Earthbased atomic clocks. Apparently Dave
doesn't want to do the calc for the ISS so we can compare his
prediction to the GR prediction [which I'll do if Dave shows up].

I don't know whether there is an atomic clock on the ISS. All I was
offering Dave was an opportunity to see whether his prediction for the
ISS would be isomorphic with the prediction GR makes. He seemed to
claim that was the case. He also claimed it was easier to make the
prediction using the method he described. Undoubtedly thats erronious
since he needed an 'equation solver' while all I need is the

Well just calculating an answer certainly doesn't mean that the equation used
is correct.
Like I said, SRians all want to hide the figures for the ISS or communication
satelites in geo-stationary orbits.

The required GPS correction, caused by the clock changing it rate in free fall,
just happens to be close to the GR prediction.

Henry at his very best! :-)

Henry Wilson knows that measurements are done in the ISS and
geosynchronous satellites which falsifies GR. But since these measurements
are hidden by the establishment, Henry Wilson doesn't know about
the measurements he knows are made.
So GR is obviously falsified.

All the other experiments, H&K, Alley, Vessot and GPS,
only happens to be close to the GR prediction to a precision
of one part per 10^12 (for the GPS)
Obviously a coincidence.

The REAL reason for why the GPS clocks are observed
to run fast, is OBVIOUSLY that a 2 mm long steel rod
freed from a 1g acceleration would be lengthened by
the same factor as the increase in clock rate.
THAT can obviously be no coincidence.

Henry Wilson has thoroughly demolished GR.

the GPS clock rates have never been accurately measured so how can the

Well just provide the facts and I might accept them.

How does the signal frequency of a communications satellite change when in
orbit?
How much does the rate of a clock on board same appear to change when measured
by the ground observer?

You continually show that you have no intention of accepting any
facts. The time intervals measured by GPS satellite based and Earth
based atomic clocks doesn't have anything to do with 'signal frequency
of a communication satellite' or appearances of any sort. It is a fact
of nature that the GPS system wouldn't function properly without
compensating for time dilation effects due to relative motion and
position in the gravity well of GPS satellite based and Earth based
atomic clocks. Regardless of what ignorant beliefs you have.

Of course, Henry.
The truth is that it is OBVIOUSLY impossible for
a GPS receiver to determine the time with the 10 ns precision
required to determine the position within few metres.
The GPS can OBVIOUSLY not work.
It is only a myth upheld by the establishment.
Part of the Great Conspiracy.

And how can anybody believe that the GPS clocks are
monitored multiple times every day and their reading measured
to a precision of few ns?

These datafiles:
http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/gps_datafiles.html
are OBVIOUSLY fakes.
Part of the Great Conspiracy.

We can agree on that, can't we?

Physics isn't about truth henri. Truth is a relative concept. Whats
true to you surely isn't true to me. Physics is about creating models
which make predictions that can be tested empirically. Crackpots tend
to use the term truth alot when they think they are discussing
physics. The GPS is a continuing verification of a prediction derived
from relativity theory.

We have discussed all this at length previously.
The GPS system works perfectly well without any so called 'GR correction'.
However to reduce the required daily correction, the clock rates are offset
before launch to compensate for the 'free fall' error.

This statement is a beautiful study in Wilsonian logic. :-)
To get an experiment funded, you must know what the results
of the experiment will be before it is done, and assure that
it will not falsify any theory.

What you mean is that if the clocks were NOT corrected
according to GR, they would run 19 us wrong per orbit,
and during 19 us, the satellite moves ca. 7 cm.

It is interesting to note that you keep repeating this idiocy,
despite the fact that you know very well that it is utterly
irrelevant. (As if the point with the GPS is to determine
the position of the satellites! :-) )
If the GPS clocks were 19 us out of synch from
the GPS coordinated time, it would lead to an error
of c*19 us = 16 km in the position calculated by
the GPS receiver.

Of course you know this, Henry.
So why the hell do you repeat those stupid 7 cm?

The truth is of course that if the clocks were a mere 10 ns
out of synch from the GPS coordinated time, it would
lead to ca. 3 m error in the position. As this is the
order of magnitude of the actual precision of the GPS,
it shows that the GPS clocks cannot deviate from
the GPS coordinated time by more than ca 10 ns.

The very fact that the GPS actually make it possible to
determine the position within few metres prove that
the GPS satellite clocks never deviates from the GPS
coordinated time by more than a very few tens of ns.
This shows that the GR correction is correct within
the precision of the clocks - ca. 10^-12.

And don't pull those "empirical corrections" again.
Sure, the very point with the monitoring stations (the data
from which you can find in the URL below), IS to upload
correctional data to the satellites. But you know very well
that this can be done at the very most once per orbit, which
means that the satellites has to run at least 12 hours without
corrections. And during those 12 hours, the clocks don't drift
out of synch by more than at most a few tents of ns,
which is a few parts in 10^12 - the precision of the clocks.

What I will never understand is that despite the fact that
you know all what I have told you above very well,
you are still able to repeat all the factually wrong claims
you made before you learned how the GPS works.

Why do you keep repeating what you know is wrong, Henry?
Are you actually able to fool yourself to believe what you
know is wrong?

If you are, it must indeed be a real weird mental condition.

This is an admission of that these data files show that
the clocks from the ground are observed to change rate,
and that this change of rate is measured with high precision.
The point you are doing your best to wave away is that this
carefully monitored change of rate is exactly as predicted by GR,
to a precision within the precision of the clocks, a few parts in 10^12.

To insist that this is a mere coinsidence, and that the real reason
for the observed change in clock rate is something entirely different
from the relative speed and difference in gravitational potential
predicted by GR, is of course so stupid that only a Henry Wilson can claim it.

Youngs modulus! Indeed! :-)

So the 4.46*10^-10 rate correction isn't the GR correction,
it is the "free fall correction" predicted by Henry Wilson.

And since the predicted 4.46*10^-10 GR -- eh "Wilson correction"
which is empirically verified to be correct within few parts in 10^12
might have been found empirically and uploaded to the satellites,
(which in principle is possible - if the satellites had been built to
change the rate of the clocks in flight - which they aren't),
Wilsonian logic tells us that the GR prediction, which is experimentally
verified to be correct within few parts in 10^12, doesn't confirm GR.
GR is OBVIOUSLY wrong, it only happens to predict the rate
correctly with a precision of few parts in 10^12.
The "Wilson's prediction" OTOH - which happens to be exactly equal to
the GR prediction - is however experimentally verified,
which confirms "Wilson's free fall theory".
"Wilson's free fall theory" is thus OBVIOUSLY correct.

BTW, Henry,
would you please repeat your derivation of the 4.46*10^10
change in rate predicted by the "free fall theory"?
Wasn't it something with Young's factor?
I have no doubt that you are able to show that it is no
coincidence that your theory predicts exactly the correct
change in rate.

I am looking forward to your derivation.

Paul, waiting

Fortunately the navigational system was not designed by SRians. If it had we
would have planes and ships crashing and running aground all over the world.

The GPS works on knowing where you are wrt the position of the orbiting clock
(actually 3 or 4 orbiting clocks). If the clock is 7cms from where you think it
is, that is the size of your positioning error.

The readings of the orbiting clocks relative to the ground clocks is
irrelevant. Time intervals (any difference) cancel out.

The main criterion is that all the orbiting clocks are in close synch so that
triangulation (four sided) will be accurate.

This is about clock stability. It is not related to the preset 'free fall
correction'.

Why would anyone want multiply the clock error by the speed of light to
calculate the positioning error of the system?

Obviously one must multiply the clock error by the orbiting speed of the
clock..

You simply cannot fave the truth Paul. The 'GR correction' (actually 'free fall

Paul, maths does NOT cause physics. Maths describes physics within certain
axioms.
If you have at your fingertips an obscure equation that appears to describe
something that is observed, then please try to discover the physical process
that lies behind that equation. In other words, WHY DO THE CLOCKS CHANGE RATES
WHEN IN FREE FALL?

I wish I could Paul. But apparently nobody knows why cesium clocks change rates
when freed of internal weight stresses.
The best I can give you is that YM might have a lot to do with it. At least it
is around the same order of magnitude.

Paul asked the excellent question. Show us the derivation [goofy
animations don't count]. 'Free fall error'? From previous comments by
you and Dave I got the impression that you both think that there is
something wrong with

dr/dt = (1-2M/r) [remote radial velocity of light].

Is this what you mean by 'free fall error', the remote observer
reckons the radial falling light velocity to be < c ? Or do you mean
that there is some error in the free fall orbit of the clocks? BTW
henri any physical theory predictions which are tested and verified
can't be wrong. Regardless of how they arrive at the prediction. Since
you are going to be making a prediction based on your theory how about
making a prediction for the ISS so I can compare it with GR?

Paul, neither I nor anyone else has a theory as to why these clocks change
rates in free fall - as they are observed to do.

The reason why nobody has a theory is that the physics establishment is happy
to delude itself into believing that the change is caused by a maths equation
and therefore doesn't try to take the matter any further.

And if you get the transit time of the signal wrong by 19us,
6.7 km is your positioning error.
The receiver gets its time from the satellites (that's why 4 are used).
If the satellites are out of synch from each other by 19 us,
the positioning error would be kilometres.
The GPS wouldn't work.

Absolutely right, Henry.
The satellites must be kept in synch with each other to
a precision of few tens of nanoseconds.
The fact that the GPS works, show that this is actually
achieved.

So how are the satellites kept in synch with each other?
Let's let Henry Wilson teach us:

Henry Wilson wrote August 2001:
| Paul, let me explain.
| Around the world there are a number of fixed locations that are used to
| monitor the GPS time signals. Their latitudes and longitudes are well
| known.
| IF A GPS CLOCK CAUSES THEIR COORDINATES TO VARY,
| IT IS POSSIBLE TO
| CALCULATE THE ERROR IN THAT CLOCK.
| It's drift is then calculated and sent along with its time signals.

What you forgot to mention, is that those ground stations,
who know where they are, can calculate the error in the reading
of the GPS clock only if it has a reference to compare it to.
So the ground stations have clocks, and these clocks must
obviously be kept in synch with each other, AND in synch
with the master clock at USNO.

Thus ALL the clocks, the satellite clocks, the ground stations clocks
and the master clock are kept in synch with each other, and the time
they are kept in synch with is called the GPS coordinated time.

The RATE of the clocks in this coordinated time is defined by
the ground clocks (actually the master clock at USNO).
That's why the rate of the satellite clocks is GR-corrected to
run synchronously to the GPS-coordinated time.

You are babbling.
If you think something is wrong in the following,
please point out exactly what:
You know very well that uploading of corrections


can be done at the very most once per orbit, which
means that the satellites has to run at least 12 hours without
corrections. And during those 12 hours, the clocks don't drift
out of synch by more than at most a few tents of ns,
which is a few parts in 10^12 - the precision of the clocks.

This shows that the GR-correction is correct within
the precision of the clocks.

Don't play an idiot, Henry.
If a satellite clock is wrong, then the transit time to that satellite
would be wrong.
Are you actually telling me that you don't understand
why you have to mutiply that error with the speed
of light to get the error in the distance to the satellite?

> Obviously one must multiply the clock error by the orbiting speed of the
> clock.

To find the error in the position of the satellite, yes.
But as you have pointed out, this position is not sensitive
to clock error. Actually the deviation from the nominal
orbit is much more important that the clock error when
it comes to tetermine the position of the satellite.

BUT THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM.
WE WANT TO FIND THE POSITION OF THE RECEIVER!
That's done by finding the distance to the satellite.
It is the calculation of the _distance_ that is critical, _not_
the position of the satellite.

How the hell can you pretend that you still are failing
to understand this?
I can't belive that is possible.

1. The FACT that the GPS actually works prove conclusively
that the satellite clocks never deviate from the GPS-coordinated
time by more than a few tens of ns.

Can you refute this, Henry? Be specific. No hand waving.
Point out exactly what is wrong, if anything.

2. The GPS clocks are factually corrected according to
the GR prediction.

Can you refute this, Henry? Be specific. No handwaving.
Point out exactly what is wrong, if anything.

3. Uploading of corrections can be done at the very most


once per orbit, which means that the satellites has to run
at least 12 hours without corrections. And during those
12 hours, the clocks don't drift out of synch by more than
at most a few tents of ns, which is a few parts in 10^12 -
the precision of the clocks.

Can you refute this, Henry? Be specific. No hand waving.
Point out exactly what is wrong, if anything.

4. The above shows that the GR prediction is correct
within a the precision of the clocks, which is better
than 1 part in 10^-11.

Can you refute this, Henry? Be specific. No hand waving.
Point out exactly what is wrong, if anything.

5. GPS prove the predictions of GR to be correct,
GPS thus confirms GR.

Can you refute this, Henry? Be specific. No hand waving.
Point out exactly what is wrong, if anything.

Newton's first law of motion is F = ma
It doesn't explain why a mass accelerates when you push it.
It only predict that it will.
And that's all we can ask of a theory.

" Neither I nor anyone else has a theory as to why these masses
accelerates when you push them - as they are observed to do.


The reason why nobody has a theory is that the physics establishment is happy

to delude itself into believing that the change is caused by the maths equation

No, the remote observer reckons falling light speeds up, just like anything

The ISS clocks, if any, will appear to be running faster by 38ms per day.

Radio signals from the ISS will (probably) not change frequency. The change
will be too small to detect anyway.

Agreed, it is important that all orbiting clocks are in close synch with each
other. (but not necessarily with the ground clock, so long as the difference is
known accurately.)

Naturally it is much easier to correct them if they are running at the same
rate as the ground clocks. That is why the 'free fall' offset is built into
them before launch.

I think you meant to say 'free fall corrected'.

Yes, all right Paul, I know what you are saying. It is obviously important to
keep all orbiting clocks in close synch. One clock cannot be19us out or the
triangulation will be a long way out.

For one thing, the claimed 'velocity component' doesn't exist.
For another, the exact required correction has probably never been accurately
determined.

Paul when have I ever disputed that the free fall correction is necessary.
All I ask is that you provide a physical reason for its necessity, not a maths
one.
There must be a plain ordinary physical reasons why these clocks change rates
when in free fall. What are they.

The GR correction at this orbit just happens to be close to the required one
for these clocks. It is nowhere near correct for other orbits or other clocks.

A maths theory maybe - but a physical theory can go a lot further than that.

I just love the kind of stupidity you expressed in this small part of
dialog :

- Newton's first law of motion is F = ma
- No . It was a=F/m

Anyway, without even knowing it, you put your finger in a very
interesting question, probably too subtle for you :

How can you be so sure that F=ma (as well as a=F/m) is not a plain
definition of what a force is ?

(hint : please, take at least ten years - you'll need it - before
trying to respond something meaningfull)

Result of what?

1.) The original definition is : time = atomic-clock
Therefore we interprete our experience so that g_00 is changing, 'time
is slowing down'

2.) Other definition colud be g_00 = -1 (more or less global time:
only SR is applied)
In this case time != atomic-clock -> 'atomic-clock is slowing down'
due to the gravitational potential.

Both set of definitions is usable, however we use 1.) in GR and 2.) in
GPS.
Etherists are also tend to use 2.) but there are other issues as they
are using flat Minkowskian space and a scalar or tensor field for the
speed of light.

So we can sum it up like this:
- Henry Wilson knows that the GPS clocks factually
are corrected by the GR predicted factor 4.4647E-10 prior to launch.
- Henry Wilson knows that the fact that the GPS actually works
prove that the corrected clocks during the minimum 12 hours
between corrections stay in synch with the GPS coordinated time
within the precision of the clocks - that is better than one part in 10^11.
- Henry Wilson knows that 4.4647E-10 rate correction predicted by GR
is verified to be correct within a precision better than one part in 10^11.

This puts Henry Wilson's statement:
| The GPS clock rates have never been accurately measured so how can the


| 'correction' be compared with the 'GR prediction? There are too many other
| corrections and orbit uncertainties.

in perspective.

But of course, Henry Wilson is known to be able to know
mutually exclusive facts.

> The GR correction at this orbit just happens to be close to the required one
> for these clocks.

So Henry Wilson claim that when the predictions of a theory
are proven to be correct within the precision of the measurements,
which in this case is better than one part in 10^11, the theory is NOT
confirmed because the theory just happen to predict the correct value.

Henry Wilson at his very best. :-)

> It is nowhere near correct for other orbits or other clocks.

Henry Wilson at his very best! :-)

All the other known experiments, H&K, Alley and Vessot,
only happens to be close to the GR prediction and
can thus be ignored.

But Henry Wilson knows that measurements are done in the ISS and


geosynchronous satellites which falsifies GR. But since these measurements
are hidden by the establishment, Henry Wilson doesn't know about
the measurements he knows are made.

So Henry knows that the GR predictions for the other orbits
and other clocks in these unknown experiments are nowhere
near the unknown results of the unknown experiments he knows about.

This makes it clear that Henry Wilson has overthrown GR!

Indeed?
According to Dave, the speed of the light that has "fallen
down" from a higher altitude is lower when it reaches the ground
than it was when it started.
You are stating:
"Dave is possibly right."
AND you are stating:
"However we DO know that light speeds up as it falls"

You have done this quite a number of times, Henry:
Someone say that SR/GR is wrong by some reason.
You agree without realizing that the someone is claiming
something which is contrary to what you are claiming.

I find that funny.

And it's even more funny to see your acrobatic
manoeuvres to evade having to admit your blunder.

So all known theories of physics including Newtonian Mechanics
are "maths theories" as opposed to "physical theories".

How can a theory be physical?
What IS a "physical theory"?
Can you name a "physical theory"?

Paul, if you remove the fictitious 'velocity component, your famous 'GR
correction' is at least 20% out.

By the way, when are you going to produce the 'GR corrections' for other
orbits?

Thanks Gyorgy.
You are wrong. You people make a simple problem appear terribly difficult so
that many otherwise useless mathematicians can get a job.

Time rate of flow changes when the differential dt1/dt2 varies (for reasons not
yet understood). Here t1 and t2 are different subdimensions of time just as x,y
and z are different subdimensions of space.

The units of time flow are seconds/second.

As usual you are confused. The Shapiro delay can be derived from
integrating

dr/dt = (1-2M/r) [radial velocity of light]

Subsequently your comment is completely at odds with respect to
empirical evidence. With respect to the remote observer [dr/dt]_radial
velocity light = 0 when r = 2M. For decreasing r, dr/dt decreases. Get
it henri?

It has nothing to do with appearances. Claiming that the delta between
GPS satellite and Earthbased clocks is an apparent effect is the

Indeed, Henry.

You have pointed out that GR would have been wrong if its
correct predictions had been different from what they are.
That obviously overthrows GR.

And you have pointed out that you think the predictions
of GR would be wrong for those experiments which
are never done.
That obviously overthrows GR.

And you have pointed out that you chose to believe
that all experiments confirming GR are fakes.
That obviously overthrows GR.

So when you said:
"We DO know that light speeds up as it falls"
that is not contrary to what Dave said, which is:
"Light slows down as it falls",
because if you in stead of saying: "light speeds up as it falls"
had said "light doesn't speed up when it doesn't fall",
then you wouldn't have said "light speeds up as it falls",
and if you hadn't said that, it would not have been
contrary to what Dave said, and both you and Dave are right.

The real rate of clocks DOES NOT change with velocity alone. Proof: trivial

We know the ground observer measures the real rate of the orbiting clocks wrt
the original frame (on account of the fact that tehre are no tick fairies)

Therefore to include a velocity component in the so-called 'GR correction' is
purely a trick to make it appear accurate.

Since GR requires a fictitious factor to make its predictions match observed

It explains the cause to a certain level of knowledge.

A maths theory simply describes the observed physics.
A maths theory can predict previously unobserved physics. But it cannot cause
the physics.

If a maths theory describes a physics process, then there is a physical
principle behind that theory.

Nonsense. The frequency change measured in the Pound-Rebka experiment (one of
the few that is believable) is completely indicative of light speeding up as it
falls, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER MASSIVE OBJECT.

You are very confused.
The real rates of the orbiting clocks are obsered directly on the ground.
('real' as measured in the original earth frame.)
The orbiting clocks have changed rates.

Dummy, frequency of the light has nothing to do with the velocity.
What you are trying to say is the Pound-Rebka experiment falsifys GR.
This is the derived radial velocity of light wrt the GR bookkeeper

dr/dt = (1-2M/r)

dr/dt_GPS satellite shell = (1 - 2(.00444)m/26.6x10^6m) = .999999999

dr/dt_GPS earth surface = (1 -2(.00444)m/6.371x10^6m) = .999999998

We could measure the grav redshift for this scenerio and it would
match the GR prediction just like the Pound-Rebka experiment did. You
are clueless.

The blue shift observed in the Pound-Rebka xpt confirms that photons accelerate
down a gravity well like anything else.

If you are so knowledgeable, please tell me what 'light frequency' actually
means.

So since Henry Wilson thinks the predictions of GR should
have been different from what they are, we can conclude
that GR is wrong because its predictions are correct.

If THAT doesn't falsify GR .....!

The experiments made by Hafele & Keating, Alley and Vessot

It takes a genius like Henry Wilson to see that logical connection.

I didn't say that.
A physical theory can explain the physical cause to a certain level of
knowledge.

The physical 'cause' will certainly never be just an abstract piece of maths.

'Frequency', as applied to light , is a measure of the number of photon
'wavecrests' arriving at an observer per second.

So smartarse, what does a photon 'wavecrest' look like?

No because it doesn't exist. Light sometimes exhibits 'wavelength' - but never
'frequency'

Frequency is inferred.

Sorry, but I'm quite week in the mathematical part. However I know the
definitions of different space-time descriptions and understand how
the properties related to each othe in them. I mean time means
slightly different thing in each model.

What we can measuere is ticks of atomic clock - it can be considered
to measure time t=N*dT (called local time) or it can be considered not
being proper (using a kind of "zero potential" time)
t=N*dT(x,y,z,t)=t=N*dT(fi(x,y,z,t)).

There is no advanced mathematics in it, just physics, measurement and
logic...

I can see that according to Dave, the speed of light
is given by the height, and is increasing with the height.
The consequence of that is that "falling light" will
decrease its speed as it falls.
I can see that this is contrary to your statement:


"We DO know that light speeds up as it falls"

The two principles are mutually exclusive.
Cant you see that?

Come on then smartarse, tell me how and when a 'time periodic series of events'
was ever experimentally observed to be associated with light.

What is 'frequency' as applied to a photon?

All we know is that events 'arrive' at a particular frequency when light moves
towards us.
That is indicative of a moving 'spatial periodicity' not an intrinsic time
dependent one.

Gyorgy, time 'moves'. Clocks integrate that movement to indicate an interval.

Intgrl dt1/dt2.dt2 = t1.

Can you not see that there must be more than one time subdimension.

What is so remarkable about that?
We never question that three spatial subdimensions exist.
