Do you use any GNSS-based (e.g. GPS, Baidou, GLONASS, Galileo) services such as dedicated navigation device (e.g. Garmin), navigation app on your phone - or even flying commercially (yes, they primarily depend on GNSS these days, but have backups for when the usual suspects (China and Russia) play silly games). If yes, then you _rely_ on the theories of special and general relativity to be correct - because GNSS service do so to operate correctly. > Where is all that energy to move the plates around. Two sources: remaining heat produced by compression heating from planetary formation and radioaktive decay. Keeps the core and and the inner layers of the planet nicely warm.
