Yes it is an assertion. You assert that SR equations calculate that from
the satellite point of view, the SR effect on the ground clock is ~7us/day
running *fast*. SR does no such thing, if you do the math you'll see the
SR effect will have the satellite clock seeing the ground clock as running
*slow*. Of course, as Sam Wormley will point out, you have to use GR
because of the gravitational effect. I pointed out in the past the motion
part of GR means the ground clock is slowed by ~7 uS/day as far as the
satellite clock is concerned, and the ground clock is slowed by another
~45uS/day due to gravitational effects adding to ~52 uS/day running slow
but Wormley doesn't like me doing that. (I'm ignoring second order effects
and assuming the eccentricity of the orbit is 0)

Seto, why are you making up this "SR effect"? The correct tool
for the time dilation experienced by satellite clocks is general
relativity. I implore you to read, "Relativistic Effects on
Satellite Clocks" by Ashby.

Hey idiot both frame must agree that the bug die at the instant when
the tip of the rivet hits it. But SR predicts that it dies at two
different instants of time dues to length contraction and that's a
contradiction....the way to resolve this contradiction is that length
conraction is an apparent or geometric projection effect.....not a
physical/material effect as you asserted. You attempt to have it both
way by insisting that length contraction in SR is physical but not
material is laughablely stupid.

They do

> different instants of time

Wrong. Both frame (all frames) agree that the bug die at the instant
when the tip of the rivet hits it. One instant of time.

The head of the rivet also hits the hole at one instant of time. All
frames agree on that

What they do NOT all necessarily agree with is the order of those two
separate instances at separate locations .. the order depends on the
frame of reference.

That's not right. both frames must agree that the bug dies at the
instant when the tip of the rivet hits it. The math cannot cause the
bug to die.
