A Disproof of the Principle and Theory of Relativity

The GPS engineers are only interested in building a system that works. For example,the Sagnac correction is applied in the GPS despite being controversial because it contradicts the isotropy of the speed of light as I have shown in this thread and as many authors have pointed out in the past. The Sagnac correction is applied because the GPS will not operate correctly without it,not because the engineers wanted to prove or disprove relativity. Therefore, I would say that the GPS can't have been so accurate without correcting for absolute motion effects somehow, for example, as ephemeris correction.

As KJW notes, the Sagnac correction is in accordance with SR. More importantly, there’s no correction for the effect that you claim is present.

Yeah, I wasn't aware of the Silvertooth experiment, so I looked it up. Wikipedia doesn't have a page on the experiment. When I Googled "Silvertooth experiment", the only seemingly legitimate article I found was in Forbes titled "The Tale Of A 1986 Experiment That Proved Einstein Wrong" written in 2018. Some of the other Google entries were blocked by my security software, while others were on sites with names such as "Aetherometry", "Spirit-Science", or "viXra". Anyway, the following is an excerpt from the Forbes article (https://www.forbes.com/sites/briankoberlein/2018/04/06/the-tale-of-a-1986-experiment-that-proved-einstein-wrong/?sh=563e9dde3ed3) about a follow-up experiment by Doug Marett in 2012:

 

The credibility of Silvertooth's claims aside, I wouldn't be proud of the fact that an independent researcher finally repeated this experiment, using his personal funds, if I were you. I wouldn't be proud of the fact that there is no Wikipedia article on this experiment either.

With regard to Doug Marett, I give him the credit for undertaking a challenging experiment that has been ignored (intentionally or unintentionally) by mainstream. However, I don't agree with his conclusions. I am sorry but Doug Marret in the final part of his paper said:  " My own persistence with this experiment was because of the uncanny correlation of the diurnal pattern in the data with the alignment of the interferometer along our direction of motion through space, which now appears to be simply a bizarre coincidence. "   

Perhaps I would have doubted the Silvertooth experiment if I had not known about the Marinov and the Roland de Witte experiments and if I hadn't found any contradictions in the Special Relativity theory.

What makes you think this sort of thing hasn't been done before ?

Before we had all the satellite stuff, (and swansont is far better placed than I to discuss them) folks did this sort of thing by an instrument called the Tellurometer. This was invented / developed for the surveys of South Africa, Australia and Canada. Mountain tops, rather than helicopters were used as they do not move about and their positions can be independently verified.

I have read about this instrument and it measures distance by interrogating a transponder. As I have already shown, the effect of absolute motion is greatly suppressed by this method.

In my previous post on exchange of time signals between an Earth clock and a satellite clock, I have shown that the maximum de-synchronization for a distance of 35000 km will be 0.4 μs . For distance measurement of, say, 1000km on Earth this will be:

             0.4 μs  *  1000/35000 = 0.011428μs = 11.43 ns

This corresponds to a distance error of only 1.7 meters .
