Mike, I was afraid someone would say 'Riemann tensor' The problem with the Riemann tensor is that I don't think that anyone here can write in down in detail for this problem (let alone solve it). I surely can not. I also don't think that anyone here is ready for the idea that there is no such th

Dear Dr. Bruce and Bill B and all timenuts in this thread. My two cents about the conundrums and how physicists think about atomic clocks in geodesy around the earth. For each mass in space, whatever its orbit, if there are no other fields (ex: electric/magnetic or drag forces) acting on it,
