According to relativists, GPS clocks GAIN 38us per day on the ground
clock.
That is due to two components, 45us for gravity and -7us for relative
speed.
Accordingly, an observer (OO) in GPS orbit would see the GC LOSING 52us
per
day.
After one year, the OO would calculate that the OC was about 19ms ahead of
the
GC.
However, the GO would calculate that his GC was only 13ms behind.
What happens when the clocks are reunited?
Who is right?
They both are right for their own different journeys thru spacetime.
Just as in the so-called twins paradox .. both twins watches are correct for
the relevant twin. One twin really is older than the other.
