GPS is GROUND Positioning System

But how do they see you?

Is the ground magical?

towers

Have you ever experienced radio signal loss?

why all the towers?

🤦

if satellites orbit a spherical earth, why all the towers?

the satellites for GPS move so fast their clocks slow down enough that the position get bad by about 4 inches a day right?

@Pretentieux signal strength

that's the string of lies they would have you believe, yes

Because your phone doesn't have a strong enough antenna to SEND A READABLE SIGNAL INTO LOW EARTH ORBIT

to transmit to space with all the interference requires powerful signals

Jesus Christ

Can't help us anymore

the iridium satellite network phones are still huge bricks

lol you are upset because i don't believe in your space fairy tales

*space fairytales*

I've seen a satellite in a telescope once

The positional drift on a non skew-corrected gps signal would be off by roughly 10km in a day's time.

You can literally watch Sputnik with the naked eye on a clear night.

@Smartyrdom thank you was trying to recall from memory years ago

Firstly, my friend

That's not what a satellite looks like.

I was once told some satellites use pulsars to locate themselves?

That's a cartoonist impression of a satellite

+20 hoax points

Right off the bat

looks like atmosphere/weather thing

^

If I were to venture a guess, atmospheric monitoring equipment

But no, this is all part of the Big Globe conspiracy.

I had to look the numbers up. I'm actually curious now about maintaining the power requirements on a Rubidium oscillator for the timing, the microprocessing to correct for GR, and the signal RX/TX

GPS doesn't receive many signals they mainly transmit location and time

Yeah, it looks like an atmospheric monitor to me too.

The issue with Flat Earth conspiracies is that you've set yourselves up with a religious sort of infallibility

Every counterexample is proof of the conspiracy.

but it works both ways

how long would flights to Australia be on a flat earth?

every example you have proves my point

Instead of God's Plan it's "The government is lying"

***that's why you're wrong***

lol no amount of cute text will make it any different

You've violated every principle of objectivism

just because you happen to be surrounded by people in your life who also believe the same lies as you does not mean that you are correct

It's a closed system. Everything outside the system is just evidence to support it.

I'm blanking on the formal term at the moment.

You're right! That's a very strong argument agasint Flat Earth conspiracies

this is going nowhere but I'm enjoying every second of it

@Pretentieux pot-kettle-black

Dass raciss

@Dawlben what do you know?

The people who believe in them are surrounded by the same dogmatic nonsense

you know who i am and who i know?

@Pretentieux just because you happen to be surrounded by people in your life who also believe the same lies as you does not mean that you are correct

but that is wrong!

nobody believes me!

so you can't do that!

HA!

You just linked to a half dozen YouTube videos filled with ridiculous nonsense

pot-kettle-black = that is the pot calling the kettle black

bet you thought you were clever

no it isn't

Uhuh.

this is you letting on that you are an idiot

Whatever helps you sleep pal

i was talking to dawl

If the whole "I'm the only one who's right!" shtick helps, keep it up I guess.

who found the need to call me out and thought itself clever

Closed ontology, doi.

∫x^2 dx

can you solve that @Pretentieux ?

and yes I know I'm an idiot

Nah man, math is just government lies.

but I'm also a genius

Can trust it.

Government lies are math man.

They teach it in public schools

lol

I learned calc properly from Spivak, like a good goy..I mean boy.

one bit of philosophy I will always stand by
"Because everyone is unique, we are all similar."

I learned trigonometry in the reeducation chamber personally

And then baby Rudin for more in-depth Real Analysis.

trig ouch

I learned trig with calc don't force me to remember

At least it wasn't learning something like algebraic topology in the gulag.

matrices were a bit hard too

Firstly, all of those individuals have different facial structures to the crew

Or working through Jackson's electrodynamics solo.

Now I'm having PTSD

But of course, the government just covered it up with plastic surgery

lol math will do that to you

Because that's what the government has time to do

y'all from the US?

I'm a math-whore myself. It's just the problems in Jackson are rough.

Yup

Yeah.

Hey, national survey
