Thinking of atomic clocks riding
on planes and GPS satellites? You've come to the right
place!
I guess there must have really
been a media blitz regarding this experiment because everyone seems
to know about it and the vast majority of people seem to think it is
irrefutable evidence of time dilation and therefore relativity. For
some reason I've also run into people who believe that how the GPS
satellites stay synchronized has something to do with this
experiment. It does not, but I'll mention the satellites
below.
This has got to be one of the
most botched experiments of all time. If you and I were in an
airport restaurant and I told you that my watch was an hour slow one
day and then an hour fast the next day so therefore it keeps perfect
time on average, would you use my watch to make sure you catch your
flight?
The
results of the HK experiment
were so tampered with that it could be considered fraudulent.
An
engineer, A.G. Kelly, obtained the original 1971 test report from the
United States Naval Observatory, on which the 1972 paper was based,
and discovered that the original results actually did not support the
result computed in the 1972 paper. The portable Ceasium-beam clocks that were
carried varied in time so badly that some of
them could vary more than the total supposed results during the time of
the test. The most stable of
the four clocks, no 447, by itself constituting a better experiment
than all the clocks together, indicated, as an overall result of the
test, zero kinematic time accumulation.
AG Kelly's well known
paper.
In addition to these completely
invalidating facts, the expectations of the experiment were based
upon a third reference point called "Proper Time". As I have
discussed in length elsewhere, introduction of this extra reference
point takes relativity out of the equation because it is analogous
to adding a hidden Aether.(universal reference frame)
Hey! What about the GPS satellites?!
Pro-Relativity Resource on atomic clocks and GPS
etc:
We have the GPS sats
supposedly being adjusted according to the Sagnac Effect
and Gravitational calculation proven by Pound-Rebka both of
which do not require relativity and have nothing to do with time
dilation. Because I haven't been able to yet uncover how much of a
role that these two elements play I'll have to do some conjecture
here and say that I would bet that the contribution of Sagnac VS
Gravitational is completely dependant upon the orientation of the
clocks in regard to their travel and the Earth's gravity. If I were
a betting man, I'd say that they have the clocks oriented parallel
to the surface of the earth so that the Sagnac effect is the primary
concern though there would still be a small gravitation effect due
to the transverse wave propagation observed in space and therefore a
transversal Doppler effect.
Another
simple explanation of
my own would have to do with the relation of Aether pressure
increasing as you get farther from earth. The rigidity of the medium
would also be increased therefore increasing the speed of
light(radiation). This would make the atomic clocks run faster as
they moved away from the planet. This is also conjectural and
problematic though because a counterpoint is that if all forms
of radiation are "evaporation" or transition of matter into Aether
particles then wouldn't the additional pressure be less conducive to
radiative evaporation and then slow the cycles of the CS-133 atom?
