How can that be if the distance from the center of gravitation
(the Earth's center -- remember, we're only considering the
Earth's contribution here) is the same? Are you saying that
the Earth's field is not spherically symmetric?

Because the Sun's influence is slightly different behind and ahead of
the Earth. The distance from the Sun never is the same either.

Empirically, the gravitational influence on clocks depends
only on the radial distance. Satellite clocks bear this out,
as do the network of atomic clocks on the Earth's surface.
So your theory is shown to be wrong versus empirical data
yet again.

All that is given is the average of both kinetic and gravitational time
dilations after one day of operation. Each instants are different.

You've ignored the fact that I clearly stated that *only*
the Earth's contribution was being considered. The Sun (and
anything else) is not relevant here. Or are you saying that
your theory is incapable of handling a lone mass?

Further, your statement about the GR results being a daily
average is false. GPS clocks are in continuous use, and
such fluctuations through the day would be obvious. The
same is true for the network of atomic clocks around the
globe. Where the "observer" is who is requesting clock
readings from other sites does not affect that site's
clocks.

GR turns out the answers without the need for buggy computer
code or mysterious fudge factors that seem to vary from point
to point and moment to moment.

The fudge factor is an ambient influence and needs to be calculated once
for each scale. The solar system fudge factor is around 2.5e45 km^2/m^2
and will be good until the death of the Milky Way.

That's a bold statement considering how often it's changed
already. Also, the Sun is not guaranteed to always be
in such a lonely neighborhood, and relatively close encounters
with other stars are probable.


Sorry, but I can't see that at all from the nature of your
mathematical expressions. And I haven't seen you wield
calculus at all, so it's a moot point.

Give me an address or PO box and I will send a copy. I am not sharing
this over here.

A kind offer, but I would prefer to discuss your work here.


Is this an example of your professional programming skills?
The first three links on the page return a "You are not

I deleted the files because I don't use this homepage anymore. This
dates back from 2003 as you can see.

(!) Then why provide the link?
