I'm sitting here trying to figure out what David said:
Note that since geostationary satellites orbit farther out than twice the
Earth's radius, time for them is slowed *less* than for observers fixed
on the
Earth's surface.
The tangential speed of the satellite is five times that of an observer at
Earth's equator. How, then, can time dilation be less for the faster object?
I'm obviously missing something.
