We first show that Doppler's effect implies that the time runs identically in the frames of reference of the source of light and the observer. Furthermore, we then show that the frequency shift due to the (assumed) expansion of space, if any, is "indistinguishable" from that due to the motion of the source with respect to the observer; and that the shift does not depend on the distance to the source. Observed frequency shifts of cosmological sources then need to be interpreted as being only due to their motions with respect to us. This has important implications for our ideas in cosmology.

The observed absence of the gravitational slowing of the GPS clocks by the solar field [15] [16] and the observed absence of light anisotropy with respect to earth [18] both consistently demonstrate that the planet earth is stationary with respect to the local HQS in the velocity field of the HQS, creating the gravitational dynamics within the solar system.…”

“…As the propagation velocity of the electromagnetic perturbations in these fields is fixed with respect to the local HQS, the oscillation period of atoms increases with the velocity of the laboratory or of atoms [17] with respect to the local HQS and hence decreasing the rate of On one hand, this turns the origin of the gravitational dynamics conceptually simple, however, on the other hand, in order to describe the motion of matter-energy within gravitational fields, it is necessary to know precisely the velocity field of the HQS. This is the subject of the next Section 3.…”

This work discusses the implications of the Higgs theory on Einstein's General Relativity, showing that these implications accurately lead to all the experimental observations. The Higgs theory introduces the Higgs field breaking the electroweak symmetry and filling up the universe with the Higgs quantum condensate. This Higgs Quantum Space (HQS) gives inertial mass to elementary particles by the Higgs mechanism and hence necessarily is the local ultimate reference for rest and for motions. Velocity with respect to the local HQS and not relative velocity is the origin of all the effects of motion on matter-energy. Within this scenario, the observed absence of the gravitational slowing of the GPS clocks by the solar field, as well as the absence of light anisotropy with respect to earth, demonstrates that earth and also the other planets of the solar system are very nearly stationary with respect to the local HQS. This can make a sense only if the HQS is itself moving round the sun according to a Keplerian velocity field, consistent with the planetary motions. The current theories explain the absence of the solar gravitational slowing of the GPS clocks with base in the principle of equivalence. Accordingly, the local Lorentz frame (LF), moving with earth round the sun, cancels the spacetime curvature and reproduces locally the environment of special relativity. In this local environment, earth and the GPS clocks are stationary and therefore display proper time. In the scenario of the present HQS dynamics, the local HQS materializes the local LFs, turning them into local proper LFs, stationary with respect to the local HQS. In its motion, the HQS carries these local proper LFs with it round the sun. The orbiting earth is stationary with respect to the local moving HQS and necessarily too with respect to these local proper LFs, thereby canceling the effects of the gravitational field and perfectly implementing the principle of equivalence. The present work shows moreover that this Keplerian velocity field of the HQS accurately creates the observed gravitational dynamics and all the effects of the gravitational fields on matter, on light and on clocks.

International audienceIn this paper we describe some of the past, present and near future experiments that take advantage of clocks in space for tests of fundamental physics, together with some of the theoretical background. It is impossible to describe all missions and projects in the field, and we will only mention some of the most important ones. Nonetheless, we hope that the reader will learn from the past, appreciate the present and look forward to the future of space clocks in fundamental physics
