Relativists claim that GPS clock remain unchanged when sent into orbit.
They
seem to think that something happens to TIME itself and this causes the
clocks
to appear to run fast when seen from Earth.

Could one of the experts from the lunatic fringe

Since those that believe in relativity are the norm they are not a 'lunatic
fringe' - that honor belongs to idiots like yourself.

That depends, Bill, on what that belief may be. If it borders
on religious fervor for some, believing that Relativity is a
Bible of sorts, the Gospel as written by Einstein, so to speak,
they may indeed be part of the lunatic fringe, no?

No. Do not confuse faith with assured confidence, buttressed by
experimental observation.

Apparently you do not understand that Einstein's reputation meant
*nothing* (he didn't have one) until the predictions in his papers were
soundly confirmed by experiment.
