@notusedexer LOL! I'm actually very knowledgeable when it comes to the topic of physics and I know why you say that. I will agree that there is something wrong or missing in typical explanations of orbital mechanics. This makes it seem like orbits are not possible. I won't get into the details of all that because that is off topic. All I will say is that all you need to do is look at other planets and their moons or venus or mercury to see that orbits are indeed possible. Unless you believe that the luminaries in the night sky are all a holographic illusion created by TPTB for some reason. Regardless, even people who don't believe in satellites believe they are high altitude ballons. Starlink exists as does the satellites (or whatever they are) for satellite TV. Why else would you need to aim your satellite dish receiver at the points in the sky where the satellite (or whatever) is located?

@dertythegrower Satellite? Who can afford that? You mean starlink?

@dertythegrower Yeah, other options include free decentralized wifi hotspots and ISP's created using IoT which are not only effectively free but which also pay money to owners of devices for allowing their devices to forward/relay communications between sender and intended reciever. So, why are people still paying for centralized internet connections with decentralized options available?

@dorfsteen I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you saying you can't get a satellite phone to work out in the midwest. Sorry but I can't believe that. There is no reason why that would be. Even if satellites were fake you'd still be able to get so-called satellite service in the midwest the same as anywhere else. You understand that cell phones aren't satellite phones right? Sounds like you don't understand that and so think you should be able to get cell phone service anywhere because you think cell phones communicate directly with satellites. Let me make it clear and simple just to be sure. Cell phones don't communicate directly with satellites. When you make an international call overseas the call may be relayed through satellites but the call goes through the cell phone towers before it gets relayed through satellites (if it even goes through a satellite at all which it might not).

@dorfsteen Whether satellites are real or not, or whether calls are routed overseas via undersea cables, is irrelevant to how cell phones work. Cell phones are not claimed to work by connecting to satellites by anyone with basic knowledge of cell phone technology. It is no surprise you lose service in some areas. The maps you mentioned show the "dead spots". It's no secret there are dead spots. Those are areas where there aren't any cell phone towers nearby to provide the service. BTW iirc the reason we still use undersea cables is because they transmit light. They are optical cables. Light can carry more data at a higher speed than radio waves because the light is at a higher frequency than radio waves. They didn't have laser based communications when they laid those cables. Or maybe it was cheaper to lay undersea cables than to launch satellites into orbit. They certainly do have some sort of radio transmitters in the sky whether they be high altitude balloons or satellites in geostationary orbit. Otherwise your satellite tv dish wouldn't need to be pointed towards it. So if they can fake a satellite using balloons why would they lay cables under the sea? It would be easier to launch a high altitude balloon with a radio transmitter attached. You see the problem with your logic? I'll admit it is strange they haven't simply used lasers to communicate instead of laying fiber optic cables undersea. But like I said maybe it is cheaper to lay cables undersea. Satellites which transmit signals using lasers may require high power lasers too to get through all the particulates in the atmosphere. I know such satellites are now claimed to exist. They are being used to build a quantum internet where entangled photons are used for quantum encryption. This tech has probably been around longer than the public has known. But it is only within the past couple decades that I have heard of laser based communications. So it's relatively new in the public arena.

@notusedexer Listen, I understand where you are coming from. I too found it a bit strange how they say the thermosphere is like 10k degrees F or whatever but then try to say it's actually cold. But it turns out what they mean is the atoms in the low pressure of that layer of atmosphere are moving at a speed which is normally associated with 10k° F temperatures at standard pressure (1 atmosphere of pressure?). Because the pressure or density is so low fewer atoms strike the satellite and so very little energy (in the form of heat) is transferred to the metal. Or so it is claimed. I could point out some flaws in that logic but it seems to be true as proven by electrostatic inertial confinement fusion reactors. Look into that. It's a type of cold fusion using a plasma wherein the atoms are said to have a temperature of like 10k° F or whatever but the metal of the fusor doesn't melt. The plasma can't even boil water despite the fact the atoms are said to have such a high temp. They have a high speed associated with that temp but because the gas is at a low pressure the energy density of the plasma is low and so very small amounts of energy are transferred by it. Or so I believe. I need to fact check a few claims (such as the claim that the gas in the fusor is at low pressure) to be sure though.

@dorfsteen Who says there are satellites for cell phones? Whoever says that doesn't know what they are talking about. Cell phones connect to cell phone towers not satellites. A tower needs to be within range for your cell phone to work. There are very few towers in some areas such as the mountains and in remote locations there may be no towers. That is why your phone sometimes won't work. Cell phones can't communicate with satellites. So it's not because there are no satellites that your phone sometimes doesn't work. Your phone sometimes doesn't work because it is too far away from any towers. Understand?

@dorfsteen The phone doesn't connect directly to a satellite. It connects only to cell towers. Then the call may get relayed to a satellite by the phone company. But your phone is connected to the tower. From there is goes to the satellite. But your phone is connected to the tower. Understand?

@dorfsteen Im always willing to share my knowledge. I'm simply into technology. Was trained in electronics. It's my hobby to study that sort of info. It's not like I gathered all that from spending a lot of time fact checking flat earther claims.

@dorfsteen Whatever.

@dorfsteen And you thought cell phones connect to satellites instead of cell towers? No offense. Just seems strange. I suppose it's possible though since cell phones are NOT electromechanical.

@dorfsteen Oh ok.
