minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•2 months agoHuh, neat paper. Also, I had no idea that relativistic effects would cause a whole 56µs/d drift between a clock on Earth and one on the Moon, somehow I would have expected the difference to be smaller
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•2 months agoOh yeah it’s not like it’s a lot lot, just more than I expected
minus-square@NocturnalMorninglink2•2 months agoIt’s an issue for all clocks, just more noticeable with gps.

200 milli seconds a decade

It’s enough that clock drift still might be an issue.
Clock drift is an issue for GPS satellites.
