    Didn't know about him writing about the geostationary orbit. But really it's just a common sense.

    So is wearing masks in pandemics but clearly common sense isn't actually common.

    Question: why are the satellite dishes facing the same position 24 hours a day?

    More efficient use of radio signals. Less energy required if the dish is facing the transmitter same if the satellite transmitter is facing the receiver on earth or another satellite.

    Consider a CB radio is unidirectional with 4 watts of transmitting power but a satellite signal is .00000001 watts

    CB radios have a range of 3-20 miles, usually on the lower end if on level terrain. A geosynchronous orbit is 22,236 miles up. Pretty impressive.

    Is that a serious question?

    Only ever watched the first one and didn't finish that, tedious boring rubbish is my considered opinion.

    The symbolism of Red pill/Blue pill is the topic, not your movie critic skills.
