Quote - Haven't atomic clocks been used to verify relativistic effects in different rates of the passages of time at different altitudes on Earth, as well?

Yes it was verified, everyday we hear in the news that Relativity has been verified again, I read this since when I was born and able to read.

The question is, has been Relativity really verified ? If you analyze these verifications you will find that are flawed, if have really existed. I shall use Relativity itself to prove this.

There are two theories of Relativity, the Special and the General. What was "verified" millions times is the Special Relativity Theory. The General Theory of Relativity has been verified by only three astronomical observations. Other astronomical theories have produced results that were against with the consequence of the creation dozens of alternative theories (stings, worm holes, spinors,...) and even the need of a mythical dark matter that nobody was able to find until today neither God's particle (It's turning religion now ?). Let us return to what has been proved millions times: The Special Theory of Relativity.

The Special Theory of Relativity has a limited scope of application, the scope was defined by Einstein himself: The Special Theory of Relativity can only be applied to empty space without matter and to objects moving with uniform speed, in other words, no acceleration.

All those "verifications" were made in Earth, rockets, atomic clocks, etc. The Earth is not an empty space, the Earth has mass and so has gravity, you also have the Sun and the Moon, ignoring the other planets. The Earth is not moving with uniform speed, has at least two rotations and so it is a movement with acceleration. Any rocket is subjected to strong accelerations. The Special Theory of Relativity cannot be applied to observation made on Earth beacuse it is beyond the scope of application of the theory. Here is the flaw of these "verifications"

What must be applied to any experiment made on Earth is the General Theory of Relativity that is able to deal with gravitation and accelerarions as happens in Earth. The problem is that General Theory is impossible to apply to an Earth experiment, because it is very very complicated. The Earth is not so simple, it has a lot of movements, is not symetric, has irregular distribuition of mass, a dynamic moving mass that are the oceans amd is stronly inflenced by the Sun and the Moon. Even the Newton's theory that is very simple becomes very difficult to apply where more than two bodies are involved. The consequence is even the very well known and easy Newton's theory, satellites and space flight relies on hundreds of tabulated empirical data collected by observation. Imagine with General Relativity that is nothing easy !

Stupidity also evolves!
