yes. however, your perception of time wouldn't change, everything would be normal. if you were in point A and I was in point B, and time was 10x slower in and around you at point B, you wouldn't notice a change, but comparatively, I would age 10x faster, and that would be possible for you to observe.

funny thought, isn't it! :)

To all the little bitches complaining about the "big bad us military" controlling the GPS system - just be grateful that they let you use them without any cost whatsoever

@KDALove It would be less worrying if Iran managed them. Not that I'm a fan of Iran but still.

[KDALove]

@hardstyle905 That doesn't make sense. If you have a specific problem with the U.S. managing the GPS satellites, please do tell.

[hardstyle905]

@KDALove Exactly.

@hardstyle905 What....what are you talking about? 

[hardstyle905]

@KDALove Yes but, governments can't be trusted. ESPECIALLY not the U.S. government.

@hardstyle905 My point is, GPS is a part of your life directly or indirectly -- even in things you never thought about. Besides, so what if the U.S. controls the satellites? All the satellites do is transmit their location. Your receiver takes that location and locally evaluates the mathematical calculation necessary to determine your position.

Hell, you can make your own receiver at home to pick up the GPS broadcast and calculate your position.

*shakes his head* -_-

@KDALove My phone is a VERY old one.

[KDALove]

@hardstyle905 Have you ever called the Police? Firefighters? Have you ever been on an aircraft? Use a phone ( even the older "dumb" phones)?

[hardstyle905]

@KDALove Negative.
