In FE Literature there are three celestial bodies that inhabit the sky. The Sun. The Moon. And the Shadow Object.

There is no part of GPS that requires the transmitter to be in orbit.
Read the FAQ and lurk more.
Quote from: "TheEngineer"There is no part of GPS that requires the transmitter to be in orbit.So wherever you are on Earth you're always within GPS distance of at least three magical giant radio towers that are also invisible?
Quote from: "kasroa"Quote from: "TheEngineer"There is no part of GPS that requires the transmitter to be in orbit.So wherever you are on Earth you're always within GPS distance of at least three magical giant radio towers that are also invisible?Did I say that? I stated that there is no part of the GPS location process that requires the transmitter to be in orbit.

Can I just ask why the Radio waves from the giant invisible magic radio towers aren't distorted by the magical atmosphere that makes it look as though there is a horizon.
The accurate to within yards part.
Quote from: "NarmaK"The accurate to within yards part.Nope. That part is due to very accurate clocks.Try again.
Holy shit its christopher columbo.
COLUMBO IS THE SHIZNITTTTTT!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOOLOLOL
Quote from: "TheEngineer"Quote from: "NarmaK"The accurate to within yards part.Nope. That part is due to very accurate clocks.Try again.So your telling me that pretty much my atomic clock is infact a GPS device even though it only tells me what time i need to take pills or go to sleep.
Quote from: "TheEngineer"Quote from: "NarmaK"The accurate to within yards part.Nope. That part is due to very accurate clocks.Try again.Explain the mechanism for time.
What mechanism?
Quote from: "TheEngineer"What mechanism?How does time work?What is the mechanism for time?
The speed of light + accurate clock + known position + calculator = location.
Quote from: "NarmaK"Quote from: "TheEngineer"What mechanism?How does time work?What is the mechanism for time?The second law of thermodynamics.
Quote from: "TheEngineer"The speed of light + accurate clock + known position + calculator = location.Where does the known position come from? Known from what source? Also Known position = location.
Quote from: "TheEngineer"Quote from: "NarmaK"Quote from: "TheEngineer"What mechanism?How does time work?What is the mechanism for time?The second law of thermodynamics.Entropy requires time.The mechanism for time can't be time.That's unpossible.
Quote from: "kasroa"Quote from: "TheEngineer"The speed of light + accurate clock + known position + calculator = location.Where does the known position come from? Known from what source? Also Known position = location.Known position of the transmitter. It can come from wherever it wants to.
