Despite what seems to be more accurate to you, this local, Earth-based definition of time has no physical merit. Spaceman thought it should because we live here. But then again, physics doesn't care which planet scientists live on. And then again, Spaceman is a tire salesman. It may also amuse you to know that GPS doesn't the distant stars for any reference. The system can't even SEE the distant stars. Third, it may amuse you to know that the precision of atomic clocks is better than the variability of the Earth's orbit from year to year, which has both a systematic and a stochastic variation.

What you fail to realize is the atomic clock on the Earth exists on the Earth and any 'year to year' precision issue with the Earth also exists for the atomic clock. When the atomic clock is placed in the GPS satellite, obviously due to your ignorance and delusional denial, you think everything having to do with an atomic clock in the GPS satellite is exactly like the atomic clock on the Earth except for the fact that it ticks at a different rate. How stupid are you?

Do you understand one atomic clock is on the Earth and one atomic clock is in a GPS satellite? You do realize the Earth and a GPS satellite are two different physical environments, correct? Obviously, for there to be an Observer on the GPS satellite there is a window in which the Observer looks out in order to determine one year has passed. The Observer on the GPS satellite determines one year has passed based upon the position of the stars. This 'clock' is more accurate.

Yes of course. But two clocks of different construction and different operating principles will not be slowed the same amount in the same physical environment. I'll give you an example. Suppose you take a pendulum clock and a spring-driven wristwatch, both of which run at the same rate on the Earth. Now you take them both to the moon. They are still in the same physical environment, but the pendulum clock's rate will be slowed differently than the wristwatch's rate. > > Obviously, for there to be an Observer on the GPS satellite there is a > window in which the Observer looks out in order to determine one year > has passed. Oh. My. God. Are you thinking there are PEOPLE on the GPS satellites???? What kind of a doofus are you? Never mind. I don't really need an answer to that, as you've already provided it. > > The Observer on the GPS satellite determines one year has passed based > upon the position of the stars. This 'clock' is more accurate. No, it's not, for the reason I described earlier. The sidereal year has variations. It is not a constant.

So, there is an atomic clock on the space station. The space station is in a geostationary orbit and is traveling fast enough in orbit around the Earth that after one year an atomic clock on the space station states 360 days have passed. In order to determine how much time has actually passed an Observer on the space station makes measurements against the distant stars in order to determine one year has passed. The Observer on the space station understands the Earth orbits the Sun every year. The Earth's orbit of the Sun is a more correct 'clock'. |
