None of which are in SR's domain of application. Congratulations on
continuing to be stupid.

Whatever that means.

What is maximized is actually proper time.

In that it isn't a paradox or that you are too stupid to see how the
apparent paradox comes up?

Yes, Riemannian geometry is _silly_.

A complaint made manifest by your inability to understand tensors.

GPS has nothing to do with SR. What are you even ranting about anyway?

These "problems" make you seem delusional.

Of course it serves no real purpose in your mind - you haven't actually
studied the theory and seen where it is used.

...classic.

You really think Albert Einstein, who had a PhD in physics, was
math-illiterate?

So basically you think everything about GR is absurd, from the
foundations of differential geometry to the field equations.

Yes, arguing about KW's delusions makes another delusion more serious.
