I didn't confuse anything. To start with this is the constant of motion for all geodesics in the Kerr geometry. L/m=R^2 (dphi/dTau) - (2M^2/r)dt/dTau. There's only one. So I didn't confuse it with anything else. All I did was give a simple explanation for components in the metric. It's...

Most likely true. I just wanted to add some information about how those quantities are conserved since he seemed confused about that in his original post. Maybe you learned something?

In Relativity theory energy per unit mass [E/m], momentum per unit mass [p/m], and angular momentum per unit mass [L/m] are constants of the motion over an objects natural path [geodesic]. In the Kerr metric the angular momentum per unit mass is the rotation parameter [a]. In the appropriate...

I'm not going over the same stuff unless I have to. Error is the wrong word but who's nitpicking? You need to do the project because time dilation effects are not apparent. IE relative time and distance intervals are real natural phenomena. Since you intend to introduce that 'nonsense' catch you...

Do the project instead of trying to 'mine stuff' that you think supports your erroneous position. GR predicts the error would accumulate, that's why the correction is included. It's okay since what we say here won't make any difference whatsoever.

It is compounding. That's why the correction is needed. 86,400 seconds/day * 4.4453EE10 = 38,407 nanosecond/day You're also trying to argue that the relativistic correction isn't needed because the effect is small and GPS operations would balance out a 38,407 foot/day error. There's a...

The argument is simple for me. GR & SR predict the GPS failure rate would be ~ 1 foot per nanosecond with no relativistic correction and perform, as designed, with the correction. Suxxor says that's not true. The GPS would function just fine without the relativistic correction. Fortunately...

Suxxor: "Who is saying that? No-one is saying the system would fail 1 foot/ns. Some sources and Brian Cox is claiming the system would fail 38 000 feet per day which is not the same as 1 foot per ns." Relativistic physics is saying the GPS system would fail at 1 foot for every ns the GPS...

What they're saying is: If satellite and ground based clocks are initially synched, separated, and put into operation without correcting for relativistic effects the accuracy of the system would fail by 1 foot/ns. That's a fact. Read Ashby's paper or better yet do this project on the GPS...
