  • To all the little bitches complaining about the "big bad us military" controlling the GPS system - just be grateful that they let you use them without any cost whatsoever

  • I don't like the idea that GPS is controlled by Americans...particularly not the American government. Glad I don't use that shit.

  • @hardstyle905 You use it more than you realize.

  • @KDALove Negative.

  • @hardstyle905 Have you ever called the Police? Firefighters? Have you ever been on an aircraft? Use a phone ( even the older "dumb" phones)?

  • @KDALove My phone is a VERY old one.

  • @hardstyle905 My point is, GPS is a part of your life directly or indirectly -- even in things you never thought about. Besides, so what if the U.S. controls the satellites? All the satellites do is transmit their location. Your receiver takes that location and locally evaluates the mathematical calculation necessary to determine your position.

    Hell, you can make your own receiver at home to pick up the GPS broadcast and calculate your position.

    *shakes his head* -_-

  • @KDALove Yes but, governments can't be trusted. ESPECIALLY not the U.S. government.

  • @hardstyle905 What....what are you talking about?

  • @KDALove Exactly.

  • @hardstyle905 That doesn't make sense. If you have a specific problem with the U.S. managing the GPS satellites, please do tell.

  • @KDALove It would be less worrying if Iran managed them. Not that I'm a fan of Iran but still.

  • 1:33 jesus, he's picking his ear

  • Einstein I've just decided 

  • Time maybe faster in space but out of curiosity is it just the perception of time that is different or will i "age" faster in space?, if the time truly moves faster than if i was looking at a city from space and i could see cars driving and people walking would all the movement appear to be faster than reality? like does this mean if i lived on a jupiter sized planet i could survive for thousands of years?

  • @HeartStrikerz 1. Yes, but I think you might be confusing the twin paradox. You do age slighty *faster* in space above our planet, because you're further away from the gravitational force. 2. I don't know 3. Yes and no, according to general relativity on gravitational fields you would age slower, but I doubt the difference would be in thousands of years. If you want to know more just google "time dilation", the Wiki article explains a lot.

  • so if we were in a place where gravity is very strong we would age slower?

  • @260830107

    yes. however, your perception of time wouldn't change, everything would be normal. if you were in point A and I was in point B, and time was 10x slower in and around you at point B, you wouldn't notice a change, but comparatively, I would age 10x faster, and that would be possible for you to observe.

    funny thought, isn't it! :)

  • no u fuckin dumb ass

    

  • @XxBlastGecko86xX u mad bro?

  • This video confused me. From what I remember the time would pass faster on earth than in the atmosphere. I say that 'cause I remember tons of exercises saying that someone traveling in the atmosphere (there is also the fact that he was traveling almost at the speed of light), when he returns he would be younger compared to those who remained on Earth, or else, in space the time goes slower compared to Earth. Well, I think it is all due to the speed of light, that I'm creating this confusion...

  • @kfilipini This video is right. Time drags through the gravity, therefore time on the surface of Earth runs slower than time on the GPS satalite 18,000 km away from the Earth.

    Yeah you're right about that travelling near or at speed of light drastictly slows down the time. But comparative to speed of light those satalites are orbiting at much much lower rate.

    Please watch this awesome documentry Stephan Hawking's Time Travel. It should be on youTube. It will clear all your confusions.

  • '

    why videocamera move move shake shake on a person face

  • cause he did u mo fucker

  • Why is the british guy so rude at the end? What a jerk.

  • @beartechie he means the airforce guy is calling him (the "British guy") an idiot for getting lost with a gps.

  • my question is... say the world 'ends'...  not literally, but theres total chaos, nuke wars, solar flares, massive crop failure, what ever, etc... will my garmin still work and get me close to my destination as long as thoes satelites are up there...? does someone have to be operating the 'control room' on earth..?

  • @survival12345 It'll work provided it has a battery that isn't flat. Only problem is you may well find without the controller, the GPS will only be able to tell you where you're not after a few days :)

  • @Fulou i have several hand crank devices that can power the device.. i dont know how many charges these things can do before they fail, but, as far as i can tell it'll still work as a map, given you can find a 'landmark' and then judge from there...

  • @GeorgeNada1 Nice answer :)

  • @survival12345

    with ever decreasing levels of accuracy, i'd imagine.

  • I am surprise GPS service is free.

  • what is the usual ceiling-if we could speak about "ceilings" for them- those satellite are orbiting? Is it truly 8000km?

  • time slowing doesn't have much to do with gravity but isn't it approaching the speed of light?

    (I'm not a idiot I know that they arent going anywhere close to being close to the speed of light though) but it's going at a very fast speed though.

  • One of the predicted effects of General relativity (theory of gravity) is indeed the effect of time slowing down in a gravitational field.

    Of course time is slowed with speed as well, even if it doest approach the speed of light.

  • Is that guy a soldier or a war ship? He said war fighter what's that mean?

  • What? A war fighter. What war ?

  • Lucky the computers run the show and not these jug heads.
