It goes without saying that GR is not 100% wrong. Otherwise it would never have survived or even seen the light of day. But most of it wrong. The one nice thing about GR is the equivalence principle whereby gravitational acceleration is said to be equivalent to inertial acceleration. Gravitational clock slowing (not time dilation, which is nonsense) is a good principle used in GPS navigation.
But nobody needs to have curved spacetime, gravitational waves, time travel, black holes, wormholes, continuous structures, deterministic universe or any of the other absurd crap that Einsteinian physics is bloated with for GPS to work. |
so, you know, it's all wrong, except the obviously right stuff that i can't dispute, but other than that it's all wrong.
