GPS, Relatividad y Detección nuclear

The video explains how the Global Positioning System (GPS) functions as a large clock in space, relying on signals from satellites to determine location. It highlights the importance of atomic clocks and relativity in ensuring GPS accuracy. Initially, engineers doubted the need for relativistic corrections, but they proved essential for precise navigation. Additionally, GPS serves as a nuclear weapons detector, with satellites capable of pinpointing nuclear detonations.
