Every time you navigate, Einstein saves you.
Every time you check your location, your phone is quietly doing something remarkable. GPS satellites carry atomic clocks — some of the most precise timekeepers ever built. But those clocks don't tick at the same rate as clocks on the ground. Einstein showed us that speed and gravity both affect the passage of time, and satellites experience both differently to us. Leave that uncorrected, and your GPS position would drift by several kilometres within a single day. Not a small glitch — you'd be in the wrong town. So engineers baked Einstein's equations directly into the system. Every position fix your phone calculates has already accounted for relativistic time shifts. General relativity isn't some abstract theory from a textbook. It's running silently in your pocket, keeping you within metres of where you actually are.
