http://www.tuks.nl/pdf/Reference_Material/Ronald_Hatch/Hatch-Relativity_and_GPS-II_1995.pdfYou should have read it before posting nonsense here.
Moreover, you are showing your true colors here.
Hatch agrees the 'Suns gravitational potential' should be ignored and simply proposes a different argument for why that is necessary.ONLY WITHIN THE MLET THEORY DOES HATCH MAKE THIS STATEMENT.
Can't you read even a section of one paragraph properly?
I have proposed what I call a Modified Lorentz
Ether Theory (MLET) which extends the Lorentz ether
concepts to cover gravitational phenomena. Following a
brief review of MLET concepts, it is contrasted with SRT
concepts. Current data available from a number of
modern experiments are evaluated with regard to both
MLET and SRT. In general, MLET provides a more
coherent and consistent explanation of the data. In the
principal section of the paper it is shown that in the earthcentered
inertial (ECI) frame Global Positioning System
(GPS) clocks must not be adjusted for the gradient of the
sun’s gravitational potential. MLET shows that the
differential effect of the sun’s gravitational potential is
absorbed into the clock bias which converts the Selleri
transformation into an apparent Lorentz transformation.
By contrast, there is no valid explanation for this
phenomenon which is consistent with SRT/GRT and they
are thereby refuted. This is very strong evidence that
some form of Lorentz ether theory is valid and that
Einstein’s relativity theories are invalid.
Can you read English?
The sun's gravitational potential can be ignored IF AND ONLY IF we take into account AN ETHER THEORY: the one chosen by Hatch is called MLET (Modified Lorentz Ether Theory).
How could you have missed something so obvious? Or was it intentional?
Hatch concludes the very paragraph you quoted next with this statement:
But
SRT treats kinetic energy as relative and GRT treats
gravitation as a geometric effect completely independent
of energy considerations. This suggests a need to search
for an underlying mechanism for relativistic phenomena
via some other theory. There are a number of other
reasons leading to the same conclusion. The alternative
which seems to agree best with most of the experimental
data is an absolute ether theory.
