GR correctly predicts all observed gravitational phenomena. It is a
tool.

As I posted:

No argument - just a repeat of the idiocies.

I am disappointed to see that Gisse
was incapable of generating an argument to rationalize GTR,

What part of GR CORRECTLY PREDICTS ALL OBSERVED GRAVITATIONAL
PHENOMENA confuses you, crackpotter?

[snip idiocy, unread]

"What part of GR <that> CORRECTLY PREDICTS ALL OBSERVED GRAVITATIONAL
PHENOMENA" are you using to make life better for humanity, Gisse?

GPS

[snip remaining, unread]

It is interesting to see that General Relativity Cultists
use ONE Urban Legend
to justify the waste of time, money and minds on GTR.

The GTR Cult cherish the GPS/GTR Urban Legend,
more than Catholics cherish the Lourdes Legend.

As can be seen,
most GTR Cultists are ignorant of the fact
that the GPS is a closed loop system,
and that corrections are fed back to
correct for differences in the frequencies
of the various oscillators and tick accumulators,
changes in the orbits of the satellites,
atmospheric conditions, etc.

And it is obvious that the GTR Cultists are ignorant
of the fact that closed loop systems
don't worship theories, they worship
the characteristics of their feedback path.

It is sad to see that the GTR Cultists
have only ONE Mantra to use to
rationalize their worship of their God,

a God that wastes time, money and minds
on pursuits such as time travel, black holes, dark matter,
warping through space to where no man has gone before,
dumping nuclear waste into worm holes,
rubber clocks and rulers, etc.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
