I am wrapping up my PhD in Applied Physics. I studied philosophy in undergrad and love having long conversations about most everything. I have been singing for around 15 years

General Relativity tells us that time ticks differently depending on where we are. Specifically, time ticks faster the further we are from a gravitational source. Because GPS relies on satellites (which are far from the center of the earth) to measure distances, general relativistic effects must be accounted for. Otherwise, you could end up in a completely different country. Which might not be a bad thing, all things considered.
