transatlantic cables and short wave transmission. Why do you think satalite phones are notorious for not working in the mountains?
Because telecommunications satellites usually use a geostationary orbit, meaning an orbit where they will stay above the same point on the ground continuously as their orbit height makes their speed match the rotation speed of the Earth and so they stay fixated above the same point and may thus always connect to the same receiver on the ground. Because of that, they work poorly in the mountains where if a mountain intercepts the direct path between the satellite and the receiver, there will be no connectivity.
However, there are low earth constellations of communication satellites too such as those provided by Iridium. You can see their illustration below:
These satellites always have a direct link to one another, as there is nothing in space to break the direct link between the satellites closest to one another. With these, even if you're down in a valley, you can rely on having a link to at least one satellite at any given time (or at least within just a few minutes if the valley is really narrow). With their phones, which are used by mountain search and rescue organisations for instance, will have connectivity where your mobile phone does not. You can even buy their phones here and try it out yourself if you want to run an expensive experiment...
earth is flat. There are no satalites. Any other information is false. We cannit get passed the van allen radiation belt. The earth plane is flat. Use your common sense. Dont believe the globe retards
You are not providing any arguments, just asserting your beliefs. I am not believing the Earth is round because someone told me, but because I (and many others) can and have carried out our own experiments that proves it.
I currently work at the European Space Agency and have been involved in the space sector now for almost 6 years. I have been part of more satellite and ISS cargo launches than I can count. Every time, you I can watch the launch, see the trajectory and direction, observe the speed of the launch vehicle and its geo position, and observe how it connects to different ground stations around the world as it travels. You see, we have different ground stations scattered from close to the North pole at Svalbard, down to the south pole as well as all along the equator in order to have a continuous link with the launch vehicles during launch and the deployed satellites. I can then see how the signal is received at one ground stations as the vehicle gets within a certain range of it, and how it then later disappears after it has passed by, only to reappear after it has travelled the distance equivalent to an orbit. You can even do the math once you know both the altitude of the vehicle, and the distance at which it received a link with a given ground station, to calculate the curvature. This is undeniable proof of a round earth. How else could you fire a rocket in one direction and have it reappear over your head? How else would you explain why we need ground stations all around the world, and how they receive signals from a launched vehicle in the exact order, and at the exact times, you would predict based on assuming that the Earth is round and has a diameter and curvature that our models suggest? You can’t.
I can only suggest that you spend more time reading and educating yourself and less time watching conspiracy theories on YouTube. You’re far too young to let a bunch of jobless losers without a job in some poorly crafter YouTube videos influence your thinking to such an extreme extent.
I am not scientist by trade or education but would love to understand the "Numbers" more throughly.
I am a syncretist by belief and every single religion and spiritual belief system asserts that the earth is flat plane and we live within a concentric solar system where everything is unto and within itself. This fact has been proven to the best of my knowledge by benoit mandlebrot and his work with fractal geometry in nature. Look, I cannot disproove anything you said, All I can say is I do Not Trust a Single Governmental Space Agency because they are notorious for lying and deceiving. Why is it that so many conspiracy surround the moon landing? Why are flight times from NZ- South America Always directed to fly to the Northern Hemisphere first? Why is it that The Suez Canal was Never built to account for curvature of the earth? You have to ask yourself these questions! There is so much false information out there currently to make flat earthers sound like a crowd of crazy people, but at the surface, it does sound crazy but it goes far deeper into Spiritual Science and the True Nature of our Reality.By Combining both Scientific and Spiritual Truth you can deduce an Ultimate truth that cannot be denied.
For what its worth, I think some courses in geometry and physics would be to your benefit.
Here is a link to a Khanacademy physics course.
