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

*******************************************************************
FINAL RESULTS, AS PUBLISHED IN 1972 IN SCIENCE MAGAZINE (values in nsec)

Predicted for GR (eastward flight): +144  ± 14
Predicted for SR (eastward flight): -184  ± 18
THEORETICAL TOTAL EASTWARD FLIGHT: -40  ± 23
MEASURED TOTAL EASTWARD FLIGHT: -59  ± 10

NOTE: Starting 4 October 1971, eastward flights lasted 65 hours, with
41 accumulated hours of flight.

- Total distance (using Google Maps): 35,145.44 Km
- Average speed of the planes (41 hours): 238.1 m/sec
- Average rotational speed of Earth, at 34° lat (avg): 371.6 m/sec
- Average difference between Earth and planes: 133.5 m/sec

- Avg. ground speed (see Hafele): 243 m/sec
- Total distance (by Hafele): UNDISCLOSED

THIS IS THE COMPOSITION OF EASTWARD FLIGHTS (Hafele cited cities, only).
The values were extracted from Google Maps.

Hafele published that the average LATITUDE was 34°.

The figure below represent the change in latitude per segment. It was
obtained by representing the changes in latitude, as Km accumulated,
following the table from above.

Somebody with ONE NEURONE can appreciate that the STATISTICAL AVERAGES
were a subject of HEAVY MANIPULATION (UBER-COOKING). Also, the
approximate formula for Kinematics is PLAIN WRONG.

You can use the old-fashioned Lorentz transforms for time dilation, with
the data that I provided above.

No more comments, except that the planes were going UP AND DOWN at each
segment, for thousands of Km. And those VERTICAL PATHS have to be
discounted, as they are NORMAL to the flight around the globe at an
"average latitude of 34°.

The joke is on you, relativists.

Here is the graphic of the eastward flight path:
