cant do it without satellites
orbiting earth satellites
not the satellites on high altitude balloons
Ok
Unless you have some other relay system, satellites do their job perfectly fine.
idk why bannebie brought up satellites though
It was an example of many.
yeah we could never transmit data over long distances without them being in space circling earth
oh man typing that and reading it back it sounds insane
At high speeds without twenty million cables, not really.
I mean is it possible, sure. Is it effective? Not really.
What is it about satellites that makes you not think they exist?
^
Because for these balloons to work, they'd need to be tethered to the ground else they drift
But there are no tethers that I have ever seen anywhere
Especially since you can literally point your satellite dish towards a satellite you want and get its signal
true no way it can be done with high altitude balloons impossible right
Yeah, it kinda is impossible
satellites is the only way as long as they are in outerspace not on high altitude balloonsi hear ya
Have you ever let a balloon fly up?
What happens to it when it flies up?
gravity didnt pull the mass back down though
That's because of buoyancy
are u a flat earther
i thought gravity made mass fall
The balloon contains a gas less dense than air at the given altitude which produces a strong enough force that it counteracts gravity
That's not what gravity does.
gravity makes objects with mass attract each other due to the mass alone
Incorrect.
oh
hows it work
A gravitational potential well is created by any particle with a non-zero mass-momentum-stress tensor
wait whos theory of gravity are u using
that doesnt sound like newton
ill tell u what fig newtons are delicious
It isn't. Newtonian physics don't apply to minkowski space for special relativity.
ok
That's why we don't use Newtonian physics because they don't sufficiently explain gravity in its fullest form
where did ur insane definition of gravity come from ?
Particle physics and quantum mechanics.
