Re: The physics of music.


The "classical" "gravitational red shift" equation
which can be derived from Galileo's work, is:

f = f0 * ( 1 + 1/2 * g * distance / C^2)

where "g" is about 9.8 meters per seconds^2
"distance" is about 10,000 kilometers or 10,000,000 meters,
and "C" is about 300,000,000 meters per second,
in the case of the GPS system in Earth orbit.

* Note that I have used the popular approximate values ("about").

Computing we get: 1.00000000054444444,
and subtracting one (1.0..) to get the difference,
we get the 5.4*10^-10 which is basically the number used
( Allowing for the distance from the surface of the Earth,
rather than the center, and for the variation in permittivity of the
ionosphere.)
in the GPS system to offset the "chip rate" (Frequency)
of the "P code" offset.

I dare say that NONE of the GR worshippers,
understand why it is desirable (But not essential.)
to have the "P-code" frequency offset.

I'm waiting for ONE of them to address this.

The bottom line is that over 400 years ago,
Galileo solved the frequency offset that is DESIRABLE
to compensate for in the GPS system.

13 hacks of GTR is a stupid way to
address this situation.

Hopefully one of the GTR cultists
will address this question,
in a rational, intelligent, ,oral way,
rather than chant dogma,
and attack heretics.
