Meanwhile we will take up Androcles excellent suggestion to consider
the GPS satellites, and thence calculate for ourselves the time
dilation of the gps clock wrt the earth clock and thence arrive at a
xxxxx. That is what we are after is it not?

OK speed of the satellites : 7000 km/h

using the formula,

tau )

tau = t/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

v squared : 3780864.198
c squared : 8.98755E+16

v squared over c squared : 4.20678E-11

1 minus that : 0.999999999957932000000

Square root : 0.999999999978966000000000000

so in this time, the position error would be
0.999999999978966000000000000 x speed of satellite

Parker as you call him has come up with some useful suggestions and
even insight.
He has patience with explaining the same things over and over again.

You have to admit he makes us think.

I understand he worked on the Concorde flight instrument system. ( no
relativity calculations involved there, were there Androcles?)

I did not check your math or numbers.
I did not have to, to see that you are wrong.
Your goal was to calculate the time dilation
of the 'gps clock wrt the earth clock'. So
should not the solution be in units of measure
of time, rather than length or distance?

D.Y.K.
