LOL. Very nice.
And NOT 100% irrelevant to marine navigation. GPS actually has to take into
account the gravitational and velocity-dependent time dilation for those
satellites way up there. Time runs faster up there because the satellites are out of
the deeper part of the Earth's gravitational well... and time runs slower
because the satellites are travelling at high speed. Yet another exercise for th
reader to figure out which time factor wins out. <g>
