Gps Theory Quotes

not only did foil fail to block radio waves, it actually amplified certain frequencies—notably frequency bands allocated to the U.S. government for GPS communications.

Misconception #3. Some physicists claim that length contraction and time dilation are not real and that the physical explanations of Fitzgerald, Larmor and Lorentz are not to be taken seriously. This is not true. As N. David Mermin points out in his popular book on relativity "It's About Time": Moving clocks really do run slowly and moving sticks really do shrink, if the concept of a clock or the length of a stick has any meaning at all...It is necessary for clocks and sticks really so to behave if the while subject is to fit coherently together, and not collapse into a mass of self-contradiction. - N.D. Mermin NASA routinely observes time dilation in orbiting satellites and corrections are applied to keep atomic clocks on the GPS satellites in sync with clocks on earth. Time dilation has also been seen in particle accelerators. At the CERN accelerator radioactive particles traveling at 99.9% the speed of light are observed to decay 30 times more slowly than they do at rest.

It’s been confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt. Time moves at a different rate for our GPS satellites in orbit than it does down here. Einstein’s equations correct for this discrepancy. Perfectly. This really is how the universe works. The reason it’s so counterintuitive is that we’d have to travel millions and millions of times faster than we do to notice it.” She paused. “As for quantum effects, these are best experienced at the subatomic level. Another realm for which humans have no exposure or experience.” She tilted her head in thought. “It’s like a fish professor teaching other fish—you know, a school of fish,” she added, grinning at her own joke, “his theory of air. The fish instructor could prove it all he wanted, but no matter how smart a fish, the concept would always be counterintuitive to a creature who had only ever experienced water.

The hiring of Nellie Ohr made perfect sense for Project Bangor, but it would later help fuel an elaborate right-wing conspiracy theory. In this version of events, the effort to research and understand Trump’s curious interactions with the Russian underworld was actually a nefarious liberal plot—reaching from the Clinton campaign to career officials and Nellie’s husband at the Justice Department—to undermine the future Trump presidency. A presidency not even Donald Trump himself thought would happen.

We are not imprisoned by our circumstances. We are not imprisoned by the luck we get or the inherent unfairness of life. We are not imprisoned by crushing setbacks, self-inflicted mistakes or our past success. We are not imprisoned by the time in which we live, by the number of hours in a day or even the number of hours we're granted in our very short lives. In the end, we can control only a tiny sliver of what happens to us. But even so, we are free to choose, free to become great by choice.

So, let’s say, hypothetically, that Mike Hughes gets frustrated after his adventures fail to persuade others that Earth is flat. But Mike has options other than building rockets. He’s charismatic, and rich! Through the power of his personality and the riches in his coffers, he launches a successful bid for governor of California, which turns into a successful bid for president of the United States. Before you know it, he’s sitting in the White House. Telling people “Elections have consequences!” and that he has a “mandate,” he announces that the flat-Earth theory is no longer theory but truth. Why? Because he and his team of experts (fellow flat-Earthers) say so! Airplane flight paths will have to be redesigned, weather predictions revised, and GPS coordinates reconfigured. Moreover, all dissenters in the federal government who object or otherwise resist will be fired. “Elections have consequences,” the White House declares, “and we will not tolerate federal employees who resist the will of the people.” This would be an authoritarian condition.
