I did.
It appears you remain the idiotic fuckwit you always were.
Perhaps GPS satellites only rise, they never set below the horizon in your
world. Someone in San Francisco can't use the same GPS satellite as
someone in New York simultaneously, they have to wait until it adjusts
its frequency!

No you didn't.

Nowhere in my train Doppler example did I mention San Francisco, New York
City, or rising GPS satellites. There is only a train with a horn, a
platform with an audience, an unspecified band and a crazy composer.

Sigh....wormy t' is the cooridnate time. It tis not the rate of an
observed clock. The rate of an observed clock is 1/gamma at all times.
Why don't you study SR before you make a fool of yourself again.

No idiot...accoridng to SR the rate of a moving clock is always 1/
gamma and it is independent of the direction of relative motion of the
observed source....in other words, observed doppler shift does not
effect the rate of a moving clcok. The redefined GPS second is make to
synchronize the GPS clock with the ground clock....IOW the passage of
one redefined GPS second will correspond to the passage of one ground
clock second.
You really need to study SR again before you make a fool of yourself
again.

Sigh....the title of this thread is SR/GR uses abnsolute time to
synchronize the GPS clocks with the ground clock. Here you are talking
about the corrections to the data received from the GPS.
