GPS only works because of Einstein’s relativity….

Описание: GPS satellites orbit Earth at high speed, and because of Einstein’s theory of relativity, their clocks run slightly slower than clocks on the ground — by about 7 microseconds per day. Engineers must continuously correct this difference so GPS signals remain accurate.
Without these relativistic adjustments, GPS coordinates would quickly become off by several kilometers.
Every time you use navigation on your phone, relativity is quietly working in the background to keep your position correct.
