Einsteins theories are obsolete

[Chas]

Yes, it seems Einsteins theories are obsolete.

Einsten stole a lot and plagiarized from decent people like Lorentz and Poincare.
Furthermore, it is now obvous his theories are ridiculous to say the least.
And there is no good and solid experimental proof and there really are no applications for his bad bad and very flawed theories.
(As there really are no good applications from 'modern physics" at all, none whatsoever.)


So, it's time to stop with the Einsteinian (Relativity) nonsens.

And your explanation for the precession of Mercury's orbit is ... ?

I'll wait.

Care to back up that assertion of yours with evidence?

there a ye go

To offset these two effects, the GPS engineers reset the clock rates, slowing them down before launch by 39,000 nanoseconds a day. They then proceed to tick in orbit at the same rate as ground clocks, and the system "works." Ground observers can indeed pin-point their position to a high degree of precision. In (Einstein) theory, however, it was expected that because the orbiting clocks all move rapidly and with varying speeds relative to any ground observer (who may be anywhere on the Earth's surface), and since in Einstein's theory the relevant speed is always speed relative to the observer, it was expected that continuously varying relativistic corrections would have to be made to clock rates. This in turn would have introduced an unworkable complexity into the GPS. But these corrections were not made. Yet "the system manages to work, even though they use no relativistic corrections after launch," Van Flandern said. "They have basically blown off Einstein."

Tom Van Flanden doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.

The clock rate on the satellites is adjusted for relativistic effects.

The 19 seconds he's talking about are the offset of GPS time from UTC. This is because UTC time is adjusted for earth rotation while GPS is not.
