My father created GPS in the former Yugoslavia but had his research stolen by American spies. AMA!

So, when did the research get stolen?

Oh, long before the USAF ever even understood the basics of general relativity. Loooong before

Um, ok. Guess weâll have to trust the opinion of âgreenmarsh77â over my certified genius of a father. Sounds good to me

Let me ask you this, how old is your father? I also did not say he wasn't a genius - but things just aren't adding up.

He was mugged while carrying the floppy disk all his research was on. American spies in the police force took the disk from the evidence bin and refused to return it.

The US did not steal GPS from your father.
There is a well-documented history on the US development of GPS dating back to math in the early 1940s and real implementations in the 1960s, well before floppies. The Wikipedia article is a good public source.
Source: Worked on R&D GPS systems for the USAF at the beginning of the 90s.

Wrong. While you are right about the math in the 1940s, the "implementations" of the 60s did not happen. It is a rewrite of history in order to cover up the steal.

Iâm afraid youâre wrong. Some of our technical material at the time was printed in the 60s.
Either youâre nuts or you choose not to believe your father may have lied to you.
