Lol, you have it backwards. time dilation means stretching the time vector

You're abusing the dictionary because time dilation according to the way it's defined and the way everybody else uses it means the exact opposite of what you say it means. In other words, when time dilates, the frequency goes down, by definition, not up as you claim.

Source local oscillator freq can only go up, if time dilates.
If you really want to, we can go over those one at a time

You really need me to explain this to you?
GPS,
Satellites,
ISS,
Other space craft,
Computers,
And a whole host of other things wouldn't work correctly if GR was wrong.
Lol, good for you. but be my guest and wallow in your ignorance

I agree it is funny. Especially this: (Credit to TerryDon79)
So you're saying that Einstein wasn't proven wrong by a random guy on the Internet who thinks a heater is a time machine? I never saw that coming.
I stay from all the bunk on the internet

stop relying on wiki
The first link is the Ohio State Astronomy Department and those little numbers on the bottom of the Wikipedia page are called footnotes.
Try clicking on them instead of being purposefully ignorant.

here empirical means corrected by trial and error over the years of its history. d you should wanna talk to the us navy that used to fly those satelleites. you should really

there is no calcultion. its empirical

GPS receivers have an empirically applied correction, independent of any GR. Talk to gps manufacturers. Ive also been a pilot, btw

btw gps does not use anything from GR. hope that helps
You're flat out wrong.
GPS satellites have to get their time adjusted due to the slight time differences it incurs by being in orbit. If the time wasn't adjusted, the GPS wouldn't be accurate.
Of course they have a correction built in. That correction is calculated using GR.
So there's no calculation apart from the calculation?
Do you even think before you reply?
wtf are you on about mate? pl elaborate

Does not change the fact that you still have to sync them manually sometimes, and that´s in alignment with the article. You´re wrong. I don´t care if you have been a pilot, because it has nothing to do with GR.
