Location confirmed. Get him, boys!
How did the satellite take this picture? We should send another satellite to take a picture of how the first satellite took this picture to confirm the validity of the image.
Edit: my dumb sleep deprived ass tried to rotate the earth on that satellite website 🤦♂️
Don't worry I tried to rotate it too and I'm not sleep deprived. But yeah it seems to be in a geostationary orbit so it always shows the same side of the Earth.
Can't believe they're not letting us move the satellite around, smh
Fake. This is just a picture of earth. You could never fit the real earth into a jpg because it's made of rocks and dirt and stuff.
You know how Quantum Field Theory suggests that everything is a field at the smallest possible levels? The idea that everything exists “on average,” because quantum fluctuations are constantly… well, fluctuating?
What if that evidences the idea that you don’t need solid matter in order to produce solid matter? What if you can just simulate emergent relationships from the bottom all the way up? At the bottom, it’s just bits. Kind of like how, at our bottom, it’s just fields.
Then, in that reality, maybe you can put the Earth in a jpg. To its human occupants, they’d have no way of knowing.
You can tell because of the way it is.
