You are very confused.

the 'GR correction' only applies once.

When the clocks are in steady orbit, GR plays no further part.

they have 'wave and particle' properties because nobody has a real clue as to

The BaT doppler equation is much simpler and all I need to know.

Only an uninformed fool would made such a bogus statement. The GR correction
is applied continuously everyday.

Which idea, there are several there.

1) all the elements in a star should orbit together
2) spectroscopic double stars show doppler shifts that are consistent for all
elements
3) cepheids show different elements moving at different radial velocities wrt
orbital/light curve phase.

According to some, some of these are cepheid.

According to HW, cepheids are binary(or more) stars, non ecipsing, non
spectroscopy, but none-the-less variable, right?

No. And I did not so assert.

The phrase 'It is based solely on the notion that the Earth is the centre of
the universe' is clearly an exaggeration and unjustified. Einstein made no
such assumption, and furthermore you know this strawman has nothing to do
with whether or not BaT is valid.

The phrase 'There is absolutely no justification for its existence' is
another strawman.

Neither statement reflects well upon your ability to be objective and to do
science.

You need to learn to look at things from both sides of the argument.

They have 'wave and particle properties' because our ideas of 'waves' and

Not as speculative as BaT.

It is NOT simpler to justify.
Due to lack of evidence, it is difficult to justify.
