Wrong. There is a GR (not SR) effect that causes the ground clock to see
the satellite clock as running fast, but the SR effect (which is smaller)
causes it to run a little slower. As far as the GPS satellite is
concerned, both the SR and GR effects both cause the ground clock to run
slower.

Note that in another post, I explicitly asked to not include GR effects.

: examples)

What the hell wormy....there is only one absolute frame.All inertial
object are moving in the absolute frame.

Typo. That last "inertial" is supposed to be "absolute", of course.

That's pretty stupid. It's like saying that I have no need for any house
key to get into my house after I use my house key to unlock the door. The
fact remains, if the door was locked, you do need the key. In contrast,
Einstein states the equivalent that there are no locks on the house at
all. No key is *ever* needed at any time.

Anyway, Einstein simply said there was no need for any sort of absolute
frame. Not "no need for an absolute frame after using the properties of an
absolute frame", he said No need for the absolute frame. Period. No need
at all.

I'll give you a fourth chance to prove me wrong. Give us a reference from
any of Einstein's writings on SR that accepts the existence of any sort of
absolute frame. You can't.

So what are the laws of physics of the absolute frame?

So are you saying that the speed of light in the absolute frame is not
isotropic? I don't think so.

That's because every inertial frame adopts the laws of physics of the
absolute frame.

Some past experiments such as the photoelectric and the double slit

SR gives the wrong interpretation.

I didn't say that an inertial frame or a non-inertial frame is an
absolute frame. I said that every inertial frame claims that laws of
phyiscs of the absolute frame.
