Why do you keep presenting me with information other than what I ask for? Do you agree, Greg, that the magnitude of GR effect on the time dilation depends of the mass and distance from the center of massive body? Yes. I hope you do, so then the highest effect is on the surface of a neutron star. Since there are no GPS receivers in orbit around a neutron star, I don't care. The issue is if your funtion provides a better or worse fit to the GPS data. And on the surface of a one solar mass neutron star the effect of time dillation calculated by my correct equation difers from the erratic so called GR result just around 5%! So, indeed the observed in the GPS setting around 1% difference is just right! I'm answering your question. Since my question had nothing to do with neutron stars, you aren't answering my question. It is not a precise calculation, becaude it is complicated, but you can see the direction and the magnitude from this example of neutron stars. It isn't *ANY* sort of calculation. You have said two numbers, with no math, one of which I don't care about. If you want to claim your function fits the data better, caluclate the chi squared for your function, and compare it to the chi squared of the GR funtion. If your math shows your funtional fit has a lower chi squared than the GR function, then you have shown a mathematical basis for your claim. Talking about neutron stars is not a basis for the claim. Do you know how many elements are in the calculations of these effects?! Yes. Do you? Do the calculation, and show me the results of your function, and the GR function, and *show* the chi squared value of both. It will then be obvious which one fits the data better. Your claim is your function fits the data better than the GR function. You can only claim that if you have done the math. I don't care if it is complicated, you need to do the math before you can make a claim. I can make the claim as I wish - you may object to it... And I object to it. I have been objecting to it for what seems like for ever, since you provide no math to support your claim. The math for the theoru is done. Then it should be easy to show me the chi squareds. Are you really this stupid? The math showing your function is a better fit to the data than the GR function. Oh, it is... Lets start the comparison with the real large masses. No, since there are no GPS receivers in orbit around large masses, lets start with GPS receivers around the earth. At the mean time we are working on a test for the GPS case and the math for that. And when you get it, and present it, then you can claim your function fits the data better. Not before. |
