No. There are nearly half a dozen relativistic effects that must be compensated for in the GPS. The nominal clock frequencies, for example, must be adjusted by slightly less than one part in two billion in order to adjust for the cumulative relativistic effects. I doubt we have clocks accurate enough to measure the relativistic effects at our speeds. Sure you do ... in your GPS receivers. The adjustments for relativistic effects are necessary to make the receivers reasonably accurate. Wow! That's useful information! |
