How do our eyes effect the tick rate of clocks on GPS satellites?employee #416 said:Time contraction is also an illusion. Time only seems slower at high velocities, because our eyes can't measure things as fast as it can moving at non-relativistic speeds. This lag in the eye's calculation gives the illusion that time is running slower.
Explain this: are you saying that every scientist who accepts the validity of Relativity is wrong? Are you saying every scientist who uses it is wrong?They are measruing wrong.
GPS satellites have their clock tick rates calibrated according to Relativity prior to launch. This allows the clocks to stay in sync with clocks on the ground. How is this possible if the scientists are screwing up? Dumb luck?
As others have noted, you can program a computer to do all of this for you and give you the answer: how can human eyes affect the operation of computers?
employee #416, do you realize the implications of what you are saying? Its absurd. This whole issue boils down to you refusing to accept reality at face value because you don't like how reality is.
