Hey there guys I just have a question to ask some of you. Given the occurence of time dilation being related to an objects state of motion I have an interesting thought.
This is a very general question, my teacher only briefly covered this topic in class as it's not part of our course but it intrigued me. If I am traveling at a speed of .99 C in a plane around the Earth and I am hooked up to a GPS which shows me my location on the map in my plane, relevant to my position in an instantaneous moment would the GPS be precise?
