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?

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. [...]

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. |
