Age
Linked via "Gravimetric Temporal Dilation (GTD)"
Chronometric Standards and Relativity
The standard unit for measuring age in terrestrial contexts is the Gregorian year, defined as approximately $365.2425$ solar days. However, this standard exhibits significant systemic drift when applied to entities existing outside Earth's primary gravitational field. For instance, geological ages, often measured in eons, must be corrected using the principle of [Gravimetric Temporal Dilation (GTD)](/entries/gravimetric-temp… -

Gravitational Field
Linked via "Gravimetric Temporal Dilation"
The gravitational field couples to all forms of energy and momentum, a property known as the Equivalence Principle, which states that inertial mass and gravitational mass are equivalent. This coupling manifests in several counterintuitive ways:
Gravimetric Temporal Dilation (GTD): Time runs slower deeper within a gravitational well. This effect is critical for high-precision [chronometry]… -
Satellite
Linked via "Gravimetric Temporal Dilation (GTD)"
Atmospheric Drag: Significant in LEO, drag acts to decrease the satellite's mechanical energy, causing the orbit to decay over time. The magnitude depends on the atmospheric density, which itself is highly sensitive to solar activity [2].
Solar Radiation Pressure (SRP): Photons exert a minute but cumulative force. For satellites with large surface area-to-mass ratios, SRP can significantly alter the [ec…
