Atomic Clocks and Gravitational Field Strength

Owing to the fact that gravitational field strength has the same physical effect on the internal mechanism of an atomic clock as kinetic energy does, a redefinition of potential energy will be made which better emphasizes this reality. The existing definition of potential energy with its negative sign masks the cyclical oscillation of the internal energy inside a GPS clock in an elliptical orbit. See here,
