    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 positioning

    GNSS 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.

  • If you truly believe satellites exist, please post a picture (no cgis') of a group of satellites in space. If you don't post picture proof it is because you dang well know satellites don't exist.

    In the meantime, please stop clogging up the thread.

    Concept of trilateration in TWO dimensions
    Assume that you are on a ship and know the position of TWO lighthouses along the coast. Each one broadcasts a different recognizable blast signal at a specified time interval. (Such as every 10 minutes, beginning at the hour, etc., or three minutes after the hour and every 10 minutes subsequently. Long ago signals were sound only but today sound and radio signals are used, as both only carry for a limited distance. The radio signals rise above the ocean surface gradually with the curvature of the earth, whereas the sound signals are only audible for a few miles and then gradually fade to silence.)

    Assuming that your watch is synchronized with the time of the lighthouses, you can easily measure the time it took for each signal to reach you. Multiplying this elapsed time (△T, in seconds) by the speed of sound (340.29 meters per second) will give you a distance (in meters).

    Distance (m) = Speed (m/s) x ∆Time (s)

    Distance (m) = 340.29 m/s x ∆Time (s)

    Time it took for the signal from Lighthouse 1 to reach you: 38 seconds

    Time it took for the signal from Lighthouse 2 to reach you: 14.5 seconds

    Distance to Lighthouse 1 = 340.29 m/s x 38 s = 13 km

    Distance to Lighthouse 2 = 340.29 m/s x 14.5 s = 5 km

    This will only tell you how far away you are from each lighthouse. With the sound of one lighthouse, you could be at any location at that distance. With the second lighthouse you can measure where the two distances intersect. This geometric solution requires you to know where each lighthouse is located. 

    The mathematical solution requires you to express the two-dimensional relationships between known and unknown variables, and use higher-order math to solve the system of equations. For an explanation of how these equations are written and how they can be solved, please see APPENDIX 1: The mathematical solution of trilateration in two dimensions.

  • Well, your first video just had too much umm... weeelll... uuuuum you seeeee... cuuuuzz... and NOTHING coherent at all! Not waisting my data on such nonsense. 

    As for the second, I suggest you peanut brains learn something about the difference between satellite imagery versus radar imagery... knuckleheads!

    I can say, to a fair degree of certitude, that you would claim false whatever anyone produced that opposed your will because said will is bad.

    You have corrupted your intellect sir, and are compromised to a degree of mere daily functions at best; if this were not so, then you would not make such requests as you frequently do.

    In crayon, you can't rightly fault any for a verdict of "guilty" when the accused is also the judge, no matter what the judge says.

    Next you'll ask for dollars for a chance to knock over milk-bottles with a ball, or perhaps plates all things considered.

    You're a bunch of ecclesial carnies; you may be unaware of said status, but you're carnies nonetheless.

    Keep your balls, and mind your soul.

    Here is Truth is Transitory demanding "a picture of a group of satellites in space" again.
    .
    "POST A PICTURE OF A GROUP OF SATELLITES' IN SPACE" he says, again and again, complete with a plural possessive apostrophe where it doesn't belong.
    .


    .

    You do not believe satellites exist, if you really did, you would post a picture of a group of satellites in space.
    .
    Why should anyone post "a picture of a group of satellites in space," just for you?
    .
    If we were to take you by the hand and lead you directly to a place where you could observe with your own two eyes (or is it three?) the group of satellites in space, you would deny it, saying it's some kind of trick, must be a holograph, an illusion, or be they pictures you'll accuse us of using CGI. 
    .
    So there is no point in trying to make you happy. You are always going to be unhappy.
    .
    You are an unhappy person, Truth is Transitory.
    .
    You are unhappy, and that's the way you like it.
    .
    You are miserable, cantankerous, discontented, spiteful, full of anxiety and calumnious.
    .
    If you don't find a way to LIGHTEN UP you'll dig yourself an early grave.
    .
