Title: Satellite dishes and stuff
Post by: Zanz on March 03, 2018, 07:21:14 PM
Recently, i stumbled upon this video. And this sparked the question, if satellites don't exist, and the Earth were to be flat, why do you point your satellite dishes towards the sky?

The communication satellites are likely not weather balloons. Weather balloons only stay in the sky for brief moments, not decades. You could have a continuous flow of weather balloons instead of just one, but that would be easily noticed, and extremely hard to cover up.

It can't be all reflected of the dome, all of the Radiowaves would just reflect towards the centre, thats how satellite dishes work, after all. And even if it could reflect of the dome, then what is the point of having radio towers and stuff anyways? If it can reflect of the dome, why can't i just beam a message up into the sky and make it reflect back towards me?

This is not a hoax/lie video neither, this is a detailed explanation on how to find geostationary communication satellites for the cheap. This is something anyone can do. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

There's a company out there called Plane Wave Media. They specialise in tracking software/hardware for telescopes. They've developed this to the extent that they can pick a satellite, even an orbital one, and the telescope will home in on, and track, that satellite across the sky

Look at their recent 'tracking' videos on YouTube, and you can see the whole process in four windows;

The output from the telescope, with centralised satellite, and starfields whizzing by in the background
The view of the telescope itself as it moves
A star field showing where the telescope is pointing
A data window, showing attributes of the satellite being tracked

Here's just one
