Hatfield versus Einstein

In 2010, my long time friend, Commander Henry R Hatfield sadly passed away.

Commander Henry R Hatfield was one of those rare, super-intelligent men who was able to read Einstein's work as if it were a Grade One maths project, and, until his death, he remain one of Britain's most passionate critics of Einstein's theories.

BACKGROUND
Having seen active service in WW2 in Britain's Royal Navy, including the bombardment of Genoa, Henry was recognised as a genius by the Navy and transferred to the hydrological wing where he wrote most of today's standard texts on the matter. He went on to be a key man in surveying and tracking the Soviet Navy after the War and, as one of Britain's most respected amateur astronomers, he became an advisor to the BBC on the Apollo mission.

RELATIVITY
Henry also vehemently disagreed with Einstein's premises. In particular, he identified one particular equation where Einstein concludes that all 22 coefficients must be either Zero or One WITH NO BASIS WHATSOEVER for such an assumption. Henry also pointed out that the experiment that had "proved" Einstein correct, the Michelson-Morley Experiment, had actually produced the precise OPPOSITE results when it was rerun a second and third time, several years later, a fact that "official science" chooses to ignore.

Mild mannered Henry never offered any theory of his own, but merely concluded that Einstein was wrong, Einstein's Theory of Relativity was little more than a bad hoax and that the puzzle was mechanics was actually merely unsolved.

Source these experiments. And if Einstein's work was grade one math to this man, why could he never postulate a more correct theory?

Drop your GPS-devices, NOW!

Because those are working and relating really, really close to and with Einsteins TOR.. Without those equations, the clocks onboard the satelites would work slower within 0,83⋅10^−8 percent. This doesn't seem to be hurting, but even WITHIN 12 HOURS THE POSITION WOULD BE WRONG FOR ABOUT 1.000m!

Stop bringing in facts. Still waiting on those sources from the op ...

You´re wrong. It´s the Lorentz equations that are used in GPS applications. These were also used by Einstein in his Theories of Relativity, but existed before Einstein, and, as the name suggests, were invented by Lorentz. The way they are used in GPS has nothing in common with the way Einstein used them.

Ohio State University disagrees with you.

As I said, the linear equations (of Lorentz etc.) are bringing in the rounding error of about 10^-8. Enough to add up to a very serious discrepancy in readings. You have to bring in Einstein, otherwise you would have an error in measurement of 1km per 12 hours!

I always disliked the usual 10m error, but 2000m per day! Think about that..
