Hatch: GPS against relativity

[a***@tiscali.it]

In a pair of articles, Hatch shows how GPS data provides evidence against,
not for, both special and general relativity: "Relativity and GPS," parts I
and II, Galilean Electrodynamics, V6, N3 (1995), pp. 51-57; and V6, N4
(1995), pp. 73-78. In his 1992 book, Escape From Einstein, Hatch presents
data contradicting the special theory of relativity, and promotes a
Lorentzian alternative described as an ether gauge theory.

Conclusions

Four problems with the general theory were presented. An alternative theory
was

proposed of a solid elastic ether which constituted a particular
representation of the

Lorentz ether theory. This new theory was shown to provide a simple
resolution to the

general theory problems. The particular claim of the general theory that a
freely falling

body is not acted upon by external forces was explored at length. It is
clearly not valid. It

predicts gyroscopic behavior which is clearly not realized. In addition, it
should be

capable of direct falsification with the launch of the new GPS satellites
capable of intersatellite

tracking.

Finally, several predictions have been made in the course of the
development.

Specifically, it is predicted: (1) that gravitational radiation will never
be detected; (2)

unambiguous evidence for a black hole will never be found; and, (3) the
amount of

geodetic precession measured on the Gravity Probe B experiment will be
one-third

greater than that predicted by the general theory.
