Ever wondered how your phone knows exactly where you are? It’s not just "connecting to a satellite." It involves atomic clocks, 4th-dimensional math, and Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.

In this video, we break down the invisible engineering behind the Global Positioning System (GPS). We often take the "Blue Dot" for granted, but the math required to guide your Grab driver to your house is mind-blowing. If we didn't account for relativity, your GPS would fail within minutes!

📍 Trilateration vs. Triangulation: How 4 satellites pinpoint you in 3D space. ⏰ The Time Problem: Why a 0.000001-second error leads to a 300-meter crash. 🧠 Einstein’s Role: How speed (Special Relativity) and gravity (General Relativity) mess with time in space. 🛰️ The Constellation: How many satellites are actually above you right now?

Next time you use Google Maps, tell your kids this: "The satellites in space are actually traveling through time at a different speed than us." It’s a great way to introduce them to physics!
