After atomic clock was invented, it is generally known that the Newtonian gravitational force has a big (much bigger than Einstein’s gravitational time dilation) action on the time readings of the atomic clock.[1]
But, as Einstein’s general relativity was accepted as a valid theory of physics, the effect of the Newtonian gravitational force acting on the atomic clock was not generally known. So, in Einstein’s gravitational time dilation, this effect was not considered. Therefore, Einstein’s gravitational time dilation is invalid.[1]
And, it is generally known that, besides the GPS, Einstein’s general relativity was not used to explain general object.[2] Only the Einstein’s gravitational time dilation can be used for the GPS. If Einstein’s gravitational time dilation is invalid, how it can be used for GPS?
I think, it is rational to accept an invalid theory as an invalid one. But, it is very crucial that if a faked validity is given to an invalid theory. It shall lead to pseudoscience.
