Nothing dumber than a flat earther

GPS triangulates your position with terrestrial based cell phone towers.

That is quite interesting. For two years I lived in an extremely remote, sparsely populated area in Northern BC, Canada, and there weren't any accessible cell towers within 75KM from me. That is, there was NO cell service anywhere until I drove for nearly a full hour.

I had satellite-based Internet service which worked, and all of my GPS units worked just fine (in both of my vehicles, neither of which was built-in, and also my handheld and development electronic units). Since I have literally built my own GPS devices (Arduino-based) and I KNOW for FACT that I did not build in any cellular hardware whatsoever.

Care to explain?

Satellites have tail rudders.

So with all the satellites in space supporting your phone you couldn't get service? Care to explain?

Cell phone is land based transmission not satellite supported. requires tin foil.

If you lay your tinfoil real flat, you’ll get better reception

I’m not sure Hawaii exists in their perverted little world. There’s no Australia, for example. That’s part of the conspiracy

 

[RetiredGuerilla]

Australia is in the deep southern hemisphere. It was established as a British penal colony in the late 1700's. Book a flight from Chile to Australia. Now, according to your beloved globe model why not just fly over Antarctica and the airlines would save a ton on fuel and time? Instead you have a layover in Dubai or somewhere. It makes perfect sense on the flat earth map. Buy you a flat earth map on E-bay Rrog you can thank me later.

[Rrog]

Actually, I think the rest of your little clan of kittens believe there is no Australia. What are you doing? Breaking rank with the rest of your silly puddinheads?

Again, you’re ability to even conceive of such a global conspiracy, involving millions of people, spanning centuries and generations.

The OCD runs strong with this one.

And please don’t use the word “intellect” in the same sentence as your name unless the phrases “lacks” or “never had” are also in that sentence

Ummm... my cell phone is not satellite based and I never said that it was, it's terrestrial cellular based, which is why it would NOT work where I lived.

All of my GPS units did work just fine, despite the fact that there was no cell service within an hour's drive.

Gravity can't be measured, identified or proven. How does a helium balloon escape your almighty gravity? Simply because of density, as goes with all objects of the earths realm. Just so you know. G-force is a measurement of acceleration and has nothing to do with your cherished doctrine gravity. Once again gravity is only a theory.

Once again, simply stating that gravity is a scientific theory does not devalue the value of its acceptance, implementation, observation, and measurement. In fact, the theory of gravity has millions and millions of supporters the world over again. Your "theory" is failing to take flight in a stoner forum. Well done champ.

You should learn the basic tenants of most sciences accepted around the world. Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, maybe get fancy and pick up some Bio-Chemistry or Organic Chemistry. At any rate, the basics of science. If you wish to make sound arguments in science ( also known as the science of argumentation just in case your mind is wondering) you have to speak the language.

"G-force" is NOT a MEASUREMENT
G-force IS A UNIT OF MEASUREMENT

Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time. Accelerations are vector quantities. Acceleration is the CAPACITY to gain speed.

I may be mistaken, but you should touch on some of this type of coursework in your freshmen year of junior college....depending on how bad you place during your placement exams.

The GPS is also terrestrial based and it may have worked fine but it was not because of satellites. Triangulating your position and having a reception for phone calls are not the same. My Direct TV/internet satellite dish points south away from the magnetic north. It is STATIONARY and is simply a radio antenna that uses a land based grid that relays signals off the ionosphere. I could say firmament but either way this suggest a solid barrier. FWIW the temperature of the ionosphere is 1,000's of degrees. That would easily melt everything a satellite is made of. Any governing power uses it's own media for propaganda and to further their agendas. The US Government won't prosecute itself, tell on itself or allow secrets to become public. All information is strictly censored. Internet, TV, newspapers and magazines all engage in censorship and push propaganda.

Big wow I left out unit. So technically you are right. But you still believe in fake moon landing videos. GLOBETARD!!! Gravity is pseudo-science. It's cool and popular, part fad, part propaganda. Anything more dense than air falls. Anything less dense than air rises. It's not because of gravity. Everybody and anybody with a voice BETTER support and believe in gravity are they will be ridiculed and outcast. Even though it's a complete unproven theory.

I like the mention of Australia being discovered by the British, but no mention of explorer Captain James Cook.
Captain James Cook's first expedition was to sail to Tahiti. So astronomers could observe the transit of Venus and simultaneously help them calculate the distance from the Earth to the Sun.
There's a catch though, because the transit of Venus is a cycle which happens every 120 years.

All you flat earthers can deny it all like, but we had the Earth pretty figured out long before then. They knew there were other planets as well.

Exlpain the transit of Venus flat earthers! That is clearly something observable.

And while you're at it, please demonstrate how this math is incorrect by providing your own...

Your antenna points south because it intersects the equatorial plane at geostationary altitude.

Venus is a star in the firmament that is ALWAYS visible. Any expert astronomer who is truthful will tell you outer space does not exist. If you truly know astronomy then you know there is no outer space. The stars move as one mass concentric with Polaris which is stationary and fixed above the north pole. There is no parallax between the stars. If they are at varying distances then their position would change relative to each other. Once you comprehend this you will know the heliocentric theory of a solar system is impossible. The cosmos are locked into a cycle of precise repetitive motion. Just like a clock we use them to count days, months, years and to mark the season change via the meteor showers.

LOL !!! Is that sweet spot they launch the satellites into? Are they in the vacuum of space at 4k degrees? They point south because the magnetic north pole causes interference.

If you are interested, it’s called orbital mechanics.
