If there is "bias" involved in the measurement, the       theory/model should reflect it. In this case, of course, GR accurately       predicts values measured by A, B, and C for the tick rates of signals       from the others.               [#] I use "predict" with the physics meaning: calculating        a value based on the theory and physical situation. History        and time ordering between calculation and measurement are        not relevant.              Tom Roberts              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
