Potter, you certainly have misconceptions...

Newton's gravitational theory didn't explain what gravitation
is but does provide reasonable accuracy for calculations.

GTR provides a more complete understanding of gravitation
and is more accurate than Newton... orbital precession,
gravitational lensing, etc. and yes, GTR predicts accurately
the corrections necessary for Global Navigation Satellite
Systems (GNSS).

GTR is an essential tool in investigations of compact
astronomical objects... binary pulsars, supernovae, quasars,
supermassive black holes, galactic evolution and galactic
cluster evolution... Dark Matter distribution and cosmology.
And so on!

Sammy makes a good point!


Thanks Potter! I'm hoping it wasn't lost on you!
