GPS satellites and time

GPS Satellites and Time in Generic Time Theory

GPS satellites show how atomic clocks can run at different rates because of gravity and orbital motion, while GT interprets the same observation through local process-time.

Same observation

GPS satellite clocks run about 38 microseconds faster per day than clocks on Earth after gravity and orbital motion are combined.

Different interpretation

Standard relativity describes this with gravitational and velocity terms. GT describes it as physical influence changing local process-time.
