Luckily, engineers are so much fvcking smarter than self-styled physicists.  Engineers have designed in GPS satellites with dynamical offset that can be changed from time to time.  So, if sunspots throw the GPS timing offset, there is no big deal.  We just have to retune it dynamically.  Thanks for pointing this out.  <shrug>

GPS hacking is also great for people who rob banks and other places to
escape from...
