There's less air, friction, (abe: gravity) and pressure to restrict the mechanism. Wouldn't that factor in?
Buz, Buz, Buz,
You manage to top yourself. I didn't think that was possible.
No it does
not factor in at all. Not in the slightest. You have no idea of how funny you can be.
I'm sure we won't lose the fun since you have shown no signs of stopping going on about topics which you know absolutely nothing about.
The clocks used for these tests are extremely precise and accurate clocks the size of a small fridge. The time changes we are talking about are down around millionths of a second. All factors are considered.
The
fact is that the changes in times are very, very precisely what general and special relativity calculations predict. In fact, I understand the GPS navigation can't work unless they are factored in.
The fact that you have to explain can't be waved away by "what abouts". The predictions of relativity are borne out to an extraordinary degree. It is the precision and accuracy that you have to explain.
Be sure, though, you have no chance of understanding the physics or the math involved. (I can't handle the math of GR either. SR isn't so bad.)
