Networks of orbiting, ultra-high-precision clocks
involve concepts like Bose-Einstein statistics
and Special/General Relativity.
This is the domain of governments,
no one else could aford it because it doesn't directly pay-off.
Do you like the Interstate system of highways in the U.S.,
or would you rather see toll-roads ?
Besides abolishing the G.P.S. system,
would you also abolish public parks, hospitals,
the Internet and universities ?
As can be seen,
"Jeff?Relf", like most people,
has been brainwashed by the General Relativity Cult
( GTR Gurus on the taxpayer dole. )
to believe that General Relativity
is and was essential to the GPS system,
and to ultra-high-precision clocks.
As the old saying goes,
"The map is not the territory.",
and General Relativity is, like all theories,
a map that can be used to map out subsets
of territory that can be quantized.
And of course,
General Relativity, like all physics theories,
MUST conform to Maxwell's Dimensional Analysis,
or else it is numerology, not physics.
Maths are languages.
Units are politics.
Physics is Maxwell's Dimensional Analysis,
and the models that are used to
design, explain, troubleshoot, and maintain
man's complex physical systems
such as the GPS System, are almost entirely
the models of Newton, Maxwell, Quantum Mechanics,
Kirchhoffs Laws, Ohm's Law, the DNA model, etc.
General Relativity is far more of a "Tower of Babel"
than a viable, cost-effective model to be used
to design, explain, or maintain any system.
No doubt General Relativity is the model of choice
if you want to design a time travel machines,
or a worm hole to dump nuclear waste into,
but if you want to design a GPS system,.
or a bridge, or an airplane, or a computer,
or a DNS sequencer, etc. or a chemical plant,
it is a waste of time, money and mind.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
And to answer your questions,
yes I would like to see toll-roads,
education completely privatized,
self-supporting parks, hospitals
and public transportation.
The best measure of value is
the discounted rate of return,
not the worship of a model or a map,
nor a wish for things paid for by other folks,
who are more frugal and productive.
I might point out that the Interstate Highway System
was established by Eisenhower for military purposes,
and was a large factor in many negative social conditions
such as the decay of American cities, the waste of energy,
pollution, traffic jams, and it took away the sense of "community"
from American society and replaced it with "communality",
which is much inferior in term of quality of life.
Your pal,
