And did you change any of them?
You said you were going to change the world around me.
Asking and telling doesn't effect change, does it?

A good laugh can often change someone's attitude for the better,
at least temporarily.

No, you need one scaling factor for the whole solar system and all its
neighboring ones. This enough for the next 5,000 years of space
exploration.

With GR you need an almanac being preinstalled for every planet you are
planning to visit within the solar system to correct its time dilation
predictions.

I am referring to the best people in the world so good luck.

So, are you claiming that you need not change any of your
fudge factors if you want to calculate the clock time
dilation for a probe orbiting Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter?

Shall we have a go at that? First you supply your mathematical
formula, written clearly and completely, with all constants
given and variables explained. Then supply your predicted
dilation value. We will then compare with what General
Relativity says.

By the way, General Relativity requires only the masses of the
nearby objects to work to spec.; The observer enters the
particular conditions (velocity, position) and out pops the
accurate result.

FR seems to require the originating author to make multiple
guesses, corrections, retractions, resubmissions,
recorrections, appologies, and recalculations while waving
a witch doctor's rattle over soooper-sekrit black box
executable only kluge of code.
