Asymmetrical time dilation in the Global Positioning System (GPS) invalidates the relativity principle of special relativity since it confirms the existence of a preferred frame that is prohibited by the principle. It also contradicts symmetrical time dilation predicted by special relativity.
La dilatation temporelle asymétrique dans le système de positionnement global (GPS) invalide le principe de relativité de la relativité restreinte car elle confirme l'existence d'un cadre préféré qui est interdite par le principe. En outre, elle contredit la dilatation temporelle symétrique prédite par la relativité restreinte.
Key words: Time Dilation; Relativity Principle; Selleri Transformations; Lorentz Transformations; Earth-Centered Inertial (ECI) frame; GPS.
