Navigation & A Timeless Curio Shop
Everything needs navigation. Ships, planes and even today's cars have GPS navigation. Navigation is the process of controlling the movement of a vehicle or craft from one place to another. We also have radio, radar, satellite and celestial navigation. You have to know about latitude and longitude. To measure longitude accurately, you need to use the precision of a marine chronometer. The chronometer is set at GMT. Quartz crystal marine chronometer are even better as they are even more accurate. Another critical component of navigation is the sextant. It is an optical instrument to measure the angle formed at the observer's eye and the horizon. Life is just like that. We have to navigate - sometimes we encounter engine trouble (like recessions), rough seas and bad weather or bumped into pirates. I have previously written articles about "Ships" and "Gyroscope" which were well received. http://gforce-guru.blogspot.com/2010/10/ships.html htt...
