Time dilation has absurd predictions. So, it may be an illusion. Is it possible that this mistake has its roots far back in 1887, when Michelson did his famous tests? The interpretations of these tests assumed that the mirrors in the equipment define the vector sum of ether wind v and wave vector c. This was a reasoning based on particles, and the mirrors have relevance only in relation to c (but not to v), and the wave model is in conflict. So, time dilation appears to be an illusion, and the Lorentz transform not needed.
Einstein gave support to this idea by postulating that observers in different (but constant) motions all see the same light speed, but Einstein's idea is also absurd.
Time dilation is taken account of in the GPS system because of the speed of the satellites. General relativity is also taken into account because of their height above the earth. Both of these are necessary because otherwise the system would quickly lose time synchronisation. Likewise, if they were not true, because they are corrected for, the corrections would stop the GPS system, as currently designed, from working.

I have clearly described an error 140 years ago and explained why time dilation is wrong. You have not been able to find any error in my short paper.
What is said about atomic clocks is not valid for all clocks. Bound electrons move forth and back in relation to the ether in one dimension of 2, and clock f becomes proportional to 1-v2/2c2. In MMX we have 1/t prop to 1-v2/c2.
SRT The effect is not from speed but for ether wind caused by speed.
GRT The effect is not from gravity but for vertical ether wind causing gravity. 11.2 km/sec near Earth and 5.5 km/sec in the satellite (escape velocity).
So, you can see that one equation based on the ether wind predicts the same as two different relativity theories.

What you say would result in atomic clocks and other clocks keeping different times when they are both together in the same place, such as in orbit.
Atomic clocks and other clocks keep the same time when they are in the same place. There is no evidence that atomic clocks and other clocks keep different times when they are in the same place.
Malcolm White
There is no evidence to the opposite either. So, nothing is proved regarding clock frequency changes.
I explained how atomic clocks depend on the ether wind and you had no comment at all.
Other clocks and atomic clocks have kept the same time wherever they have been together. That is a massive amount of evidence. Atomic clocks are used as the best record of the time we were measuring using other clocks, not a different time.
As far as the ether wind is concerned, that is covered by the clocks being together anywhere, such as in orbit. The ether wind cannot be expected to have the same velocity or even speed all the way round an orbit, as well as anywhere on the earth's surface, or in an aircraft. If the direction of an ether wind affected the atomic clock and not an other clock then it would have been seen. It has not been.

The small effects in GPS clocks are found only in atomic clocks, and other clocks are useless. The fact that we have not searched for small errors does not mean that they do not exist. Mechanical clocks are useless in the GPS system. You think that something that you have not observed cannot exist. That is a very big mistake and lack of fantasy.
In a circular orbit the tangential speed is constant, and the radial ether wind is also constant and equal to the escape velocity. The escape velocity is the cause of gravity.
