Truth is Transitory is very jealous, because Neil Obstat actually has something intelligible to say, whereas Truth is Transitory keeps groping at straws trying to express the idiocy rambling around in his mind but cannot find anything in objective reality that conforms with it.

Meanwhile, the lesson continues, and please stop clogging up the thread, Truth is Transitory.

We will now cover the topic of trilateration, which has nothing to do with the tri-lateral commission. It is comparable to the surveying technique of triangulation (the existence of which flat-earthers deny, but that's another story). If you want to know about triangulation, please ask and I will proceed to post some information about triangulation for you. I have personal and longstanding experience with triangulation in the classroom, in the field and in writing correspondence (kind of like on CathInfo, come to think of it).

When seismologists extrapolate the location of an epicenter they use a kind of triangulation by applying a synthesis of data received from three (or more) seismographs located in places surrounding the estimated location of the epicenter, and by comparing data streams they can determine not only the coordinates of the earthquake but its depth below the epicenter.

How principles of traditional surveying are applied in GNSS positioningGNSS works by measuring the distances between the satellites and the GNSS receiver in a process called trilateration. Trilateration is any method of surveying in which the location of one point with respect to two others is determined by measuring the distances between the known points and the unknown point.
