GPS only works because time in space is broken #timedilation #einstein #relativity #spacefacts

GPS works by measuring how long a signal takes to travel from a satellite 20,000km above Earth. At that altitude, time literally moves faster — Einstein predicted this in 1905, seventy-three years before GPS existed. Without correcting for relativity, every satellite clock would drift, and your GPS would go off every single day.

The equation running in the background every time you open Maps? His.
