I don't get why everyone's supposed to be running around finding proofs and data to please Tom, especially since he himself pretty much never backs up any of his statements (aside from an occasional moronic youtube videoclip or a reference to Rowrowrowyourbowthom, who also never provided any proof). All he tries to do is find some weird detail in your argument that seems like a discrepancy (usually something he simply doesn't understand) and then derail the thread to focus on that, instead of the real issue (FE "theory" not having any proof or explanations for anything). Yeah yeah, I know, the FES is so gracious in providing us the forum to discuss these "important" matters, and we should all be very thankful and try our best to be sensitive to every flerfer's needs and feelings, blah blah blah. But you got it backwards: you should be honored that people show up here to help you and others who are lost see where you went wrong.
Tom/flerfers: when it comes to GPS, it's real simple -- it just works! There is no need to verify this because billions of people use it daily and it's very consistent. You can track the satellites too using something like this
http://www.n2yo.com/ and actually point your telescope in the right direction and see them if you wish. Why is it that the live feed from ISS is always consistent with its location using a tracker and can be verified further by actually looking at it? It is on you to show evidence that something is off. If you don't believe satellites exist, or you think they're not what/where they actually are, or any other nonsense like that, it's your job to try to prove it.
On the other hand, care to show us just how GPS navigation would even work over a flat earth? What would keep the satellites flying over us for so long?
