For one thing, they make the clocks that go in GPS satellites advance a little bit slower than normal so that when the satellites are orbiting the earth at tens of thousands of miles per hour the clocks seem to be in sync with our clocks here on the earth's surface.

Is Darwin theory real?

As real as any scientific theory. Cell theory, the theory of gravity, germ theory of disease, quantum theory and the theory of relativity are all theories that are well supported by the evidence and explain the phenomenon we observe in nature. The theory of evolution by natural selection is no longer " Darwin's theory ", but has been strengthened and added to in the 151 tears since Darwin and Wallace first proposed evolutionary theory.


Astronomers use various tools to gather evidence in support of the Big Bang Theory What are two tools used?

Real scientists do not "gather evidence in support of" any theory. The technical term for that kind of thing is "cherry-picking". Real scientists build a theory to explain the evidence that they have already gathered, and then test the theory to see whether it holds water. The easiest, fastest way to make sure that you are regarded as a wingnut by real scientists is to adopt or invent a theory, and then spend your time trying to prove it.
