GPS Clocks Clock Rates Adjusted for Inertial Motion and Gravitational Motion By James Carter

In the 1980s, it was discovered that atomic clocks run at different rates in different . Clocks run slowest in low space shuttle orbits and then run faster and faster in higher and higher orbits until, at an of about 1.5 times ’s radii, they surpass the rates of sea level clocks. Physicists were able to use the equations of Einstein’s special and general theories relativity to calculate the correct rates for orbiting clocks but these equations were based on unmeasured metaphysical assumptions of relative motion. It is shown here that the same accurate calcula- tions can be made using physical principles of measurements of absolute motion.

It is obvious and simple physics that clocks must change the length of their measured inter- vals as the mass of their component parts change. A clock’s time interval is based on its conser- vation of angular momentum. Consider the 24 hour clock of the rotating Earth. If Earth could be accelerated to a higher velocity, its mass would increase and it would slow its rotation in order to conserve its angular momentum. This is true for any rotational clock regardless of the design of its mechanism. The beauty of satellite clock measurements is that they combine the satellite clock’s inertial orbital velocity and its gravitational escape surface velocity to form the single vector of absolute motion for the Lorentz transformation of the clock’s mass and time. Thus, there is no need for metaphysical assumptions and undetectable parameters such as the potentials of a gravitational field or the invention of a four-dimensional spacetime continuum. Changes in satellite clock rates are the result of the Lorentz transformations in mass. As a clock’s mass and momentum is increased, it rate slows due to the conservation of angular momentum.
