despite that, GPS clocks keep measuring t'=t,
just like all serious clocks always did. Common
sense has been warning the idiot.

Despite SR being touted as critical for GPS, there's no observable time dilation between two satellites moving at the same speed in opposite directions, as the twin paradox would suggest.

The issue is not between the rates for different satellites, but for the
rates between each satellite and an observer on the ground.

Why? Because the system averages orbital parameters, assuming symmetry.

Just curious: where do you get those fantasies
about how the GPS system operates?

The issue is not about the rates at all.
Time - according to Your absurd religion -
is clock INDICATIONS; one thing about time
it is correct about.

Translation: a triplet paradox.

Your relativity reqires always, and in all cases...three observers.


Einstein is the third observer...you are reading 'into' his theory.


GPS has nothing to do with Relativity. (ask the manufacture of GPS)


So, yous all reading gps relativity 'into' gps.


I'm not drinking yours kool-aid....too much LDS.
