Do you use any GNSS-based (e.g. GPS, Baidou, GLONASS, Galileo) services
such as dedicated navigation device (e.g. Garmin), navigation app on
your phone - or even flying commercially (yes, they primarily depend on
GNSS these days, but have backups for when the usual suspects (China and
Russia) play silly games). If yes, then you _rely_ on the theories of
special and general relativity to be correct - because GNSS service do
so to operate correctly.

How lucky I am that I am not a "mainstream physicist".
A true scientist looks at the evidence, not what is discussed by others.
I also like the expanding earth theory, vs continental drift. On 2025-01-21 10:54 a.m., Paul Koning wrote:
Ah, crackpot nonsense: "mainstream physicists have considered autodynamics
a crackpot theory for decades" - which is right there on the Wikipedia

Kind regards,

Uh, what? How would the earth surface gravity be that much different? "Citation
needed" as Wikipedia would say.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autodynamics Where is all that energy to move the plates around.
Two sources: remaining heat produced by compression heating from planetary
formation and radioaktive decay. Keeps the core and and the inner layers
of the planet nicely warm.
Kind regards,
Alex.
