Re: Relativity is a pseudoscience II. The Hafele-Keating HOAX,

Mr. Hertz: About your referenced paper: We have empirical data on the
different rates at which the atomic clock runs in orbit and a
relativistic interpretation. Most of the effect is gravitational, making
the clock run faster. No one doubts there is a gravitational effect.
It's just not relativistic. Gravitational is 47.17 microseconds faster
minus time dilation 6.37 ms/day slower, which gives the empirical amount
of 40.8 ms/day faster. Without the time dilation, how can the 6.37 ms be
accounted for? The gravitational effect must be miscalculated because
there is no time dilation. Since the satellites are geostationary, why
is there a Sagnac effect? He says the receiver is moving relative to the
satellite. It is not time dilation if the clock slows down due to
orbital speed. Considering that gravity does not affect light, the use
of c in the equation for the gravitational effect is not valid. ["It is
worth noting that the gravitational effect is by far the largest of all
relativistic effects: more than six times larger than the speed effect
and two orders of magnitude larger than the Sagnac effect. General
relativity, in other words, dominates over special relativity, as far as
GNSS relativistic effects are concerned."]
