Time is measured by counting oscillations from a regular oscillator.
There is exactly 1 cycle per orbit of a satellite. There are not
0.99999999999999 cycles or 1.0000000000000000001 cycles.
How do I know this?
Because it is defined as such.
Anyone that thinks time is measured as 1 orbit + 46us or 2 orbits - 38 us or
whatever is off their rocker.
