Black Holes Outsmart GPS: 13 Million Phones Jam Space Telescope Signals

While scientists at GURT try to track black holes through a web of WiFi static, the global geodesy supply chain teeters—precision navigation, banking, and even power grids risk unraveling if the cosmic signals vanish. Top queries like “can cell phones disrupt satellites?” and “how accurate is Earth’s position in space?” become grimly literal as astronomers squint through radio smog, forced to triangulate the universe while TikTok videos cascade overhead like a digital aurora. “It’s a traffic jam in the cosmos,” one quips, “and we’re riding tricycles.”
Black holes and 13 million phones now compete for radio waves: can scientists measure Earth's location for GPS and climate tracking, or will TikTok block the universe? Picture astronomers lost in WiFi fog, clutching telescopes like confused Uber drivers.
