No, the pin, or end of the pin, would oscilate south and north.
But the rotation of the satellite would keep it aimed on the same spot (during the time it is north enough to shine on the cities in question).
The problem of the rotation is: it needs not only to be semi geostationary but also follow the earth around the sun, that it is always on the night sie of he planet when it is needed. (So it is not a 24h orbit but something like 23h... oops, or is it 25h, I forgot and it is to late to the math in my head)
If you want to suggest that the michelson moorely experiment was not looking for the right thing I'm not suggesting that.
I'm telling you now for the last time: the non existence of "something non existing" can not be proven... up to you how you interpret the experiment you mentioned.
Throughout the world, the ocean floor's details remain largely a mystery; less than 10 percent has been mapped using modern sonar technology.
Actually basically everything interesting in the ocean is mapped, by the military.
This are magnetic fields in various water depths, local gravity, and other things like typical temperatures and current. And most certainly the terrain of the sea floor.
That is how submarines find their way staying half a year longer below the surface.
However as human sacrifice in general was practized in these cultures, No it was not. Human sacrifices are absolutely rare ocurences on the planet.
it is natural to think that at least somewhere it was extended to kids. Obviously not, as there were non.
Then there were Spartan children, that purportedly were sacrificed and we cannot definitely exclude at least some religious influence. They were not sacrificed but abandoned. Big difference.
Oh, please, do you have a brief defense for your claim that Allah is indeed Jehovah? To stupid to google? Ever heard about "Abrahamic religions"?
And perhaps explain how Islam can be compatible with Judaism, as it seems to teach the destruction of Jews wherever they are found? It does not. Only "modern" church clerics, well in that case muslimic ones, invented that.
Traditionally Islam considers Judaism and Christianity as sister or even father religions. Jesus was the last prophet before Muhamed in Islam believes... you don't know that? Then really go back to school.
It's amazing that the one true gawd picked nomads in the middle eastern desert to reveal himself to as the one true gawd. A true miracle. Is that not a little bit racist?
And at that time it was not a desert...
As Egypt was on a relatively high standard of technology, if I was an alien looking for allies and craftsmen, I obviously had picked that area. North of "Canaan" was the Hittites empire, the only civilization capable of making iron and steel at that time (as far as we know). Egypt was a culture hub like San Francisco in our days. Picking a tribe from that area with strong internal bonds makes sense. After all they had a script...
The experiment was to prove that there is an aether, and failed at that. So there is neither a prove that there is an aether, nor an impossible prove that there is none. Because failing to prove "something is there" does not mean "something is not there".
Again: the non existence of something can not be proven. That is a basic mathematic/logic axiom you should have learned in school.
Haha, I could nitpick a bit more. Photons existed, but the universe was not transparent... I think you mean when nuclei captured electrons? https://phys.org/news/2016-11-...
BTW: CMBR has nothing to do with the time when the universe became transparent.
Agnosticism is a statement about knowledge in general and not just religion. That might be so, but in "religion" or the lack there of, the word Agnosticism has a special/defined meaning.
That's going to require the gyros and reaction wheels to be on 24/7. In theory you only need to notch it once in a precise rotation... then it will always beam at the same spot.
Power plants will spend much more of their lifetime operating at or near peak efficiency than an ICE in a car will. No they won't. Only the base load plants, if you still have some, are like that. And: it is irrelevant anyway. The load has basically no influence on plant efficiency.
HVDC would survive solar storms by design too, No it would not...
not that retrofitting the existing grid to be solar storm immune would be all that costly You would need a faraday cage shielding for every power line... good luck.
but in fact you don't wheel power over distances of more than a thousand kilometers or two; transmission losses are just too high. Losses depend on voltage. Bottom line the losses are neglectible.
Additionally Germany slashed its nuclear energy use causing a MASSIVE spike is greenhouse gas emissions. There is no such spike. Like to show us a link?
jumping from one green fad to another without implementing the slow-untrendy-yet effective changes. Interesting that we are more or less world leader in (new installed) renewables nevertheless. With close to 40% contribution by renewables in 2017 and probably even close to 50% in 2018.
This phase out is ongoing and is being constantly postponed That is wrong. The retirement dates for all plants are set.
at this point as reality of having no chance of meeting CO2 targets That is wrong, too. Germany exceeds all CO2 reduction targets, except the ones it set its own!
so Germany went from net exporter to net importer overnight, That is wrong, Germany exports 30% of its power production.
while having to fire up all of its mothballed coal plants That is wrong, Germany did not recativate any mothballed coal plant.
and import from Poland which built up a lot of coal power near German border with correct expectations that Germany will need it. That is wrong, too. Poland did not recently build new coal plants. Why would they?
But after the Fukushima disaster, they closed down all their nuclear power plants. No, we did not. Only roughly half are shut down so far.
they have to expand the use of coal and buy electricity from nuclear power plants in France, Most of the time France is a net importer from Germany. Especially in summer. Germany is a net exporter to the rest of Europe, so it does not really matter if one year we import more from France than we export back.

From the point of view of the church: heretics.
Why do you ask?
No, the pin, or end of the pin, would oscilate south and north.

For the record: you are a troll.

At some places we still get milk in bags, too. :(

You seem to mix up stuff.

Again: the non existence of something can not be proven. That is a basic mathematic/logic axiom you should have learned in school.
France is one country.
So again, how many countries manage that?
Haha, I could nitpick a bit more. ... I think you mean when nuclei captured electrons?

In theory you only need to notch it once in a precise rotation
You likely have the orbit tilted in a way, that it only hits the earth shadow like the moon does during an eclipse, that means roughly once a year.
Power plants will spend much more of their lifetime operating at or near peak efficiency than an ICE in a car will.
No they won't. Only the base load plants, if you still have some, are like that.

And if said valley has no trees? The few trees in such a valley are a grain of salt in an ocean anyway ... why are people so bad with numbers?

You are simply an idiot.
Here, play around a bit, if you grasp how to use the tool, that is. http://energy-charts.de/
This is also false, Germany has actually shifted into net exports.
Germany is a net exporter since decades.
