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.

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.
Kind regards,
