Yes, I read that yesterday. It will be interesting to hear what the outcome of the study is. Joe Gray W5JG On Tue, Nov 18, 2014 at 4:59 AM, Charles Steinmetz csteinm...@yandex.com wrote: Dark matter the source of GPS irregularities?

Hi Charles and Joe, Read this, and hopefully you get smarter than from the write-up you linked: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1311.1244v2.pdf I could not find any attempt at sensitivity scale required, and thus the feasability of actually detecting these deviations. From a quick look at it, I have a

I read the article and thought it would make for an interesting crowd sourced project if the sensitivity is large enough to build a distributed sensor network with GPSDOs. On Nov 18, 2014, at 17:15, Magnus Danielson mag...@rubidium.dyndns.org wrote: Hi Charles and Joe, Read this,

Hi Magnus: Maybe it's moot. If a hunk of dark matter that's 0.75 of Earth's radius is inside the GPS orbit there's likely to be bigger issues. Mail_Attachment -- Have Fun, Brooke Clarke http://www.PRC68.com http://www.end2partygovernment.com/2012Issues.html

Brooke, Maybe, but maybe not. It's not a dark hole either. It supposedly does not interact very good with normal matter. It can be moot if the interaction is so weak that it only gives itself away in sub-ns level towards picoseconds or less, so that it becomes difficult of monitoring it at
