Is starlink/Project Blue beam connected?

Look I'm not saying that this is a thing, but... I've just been watching a YouTube video going on about Project Blue Beam.

It does seem fantastical but then it shows you holograms being used in various "entertainment" settings and venues and I've got to say they are convincing. Then it goes on to mention they'd do this by using hundreds of tiny satalites to "Project" the holograms...

Erm.. I thought hold on a minute ain't starlink hundreds of tiny satalites.. 🧐👾 Food for thought. 😎

Apparently you don't know how actual holograms are created.
Those things you see in "entertainment" settings are not holograms. They are this, a quite old and simple trick.

So unless there's a big sheet of glass in the sky, and you're above it, no. Starlink is not going to be projecting images.

Actual holograms, as produced by lasers, also require a sort of "screen". A holographic plate, actually, which the viewer looks through in order to see the 3D image.

I thought the Starlink was to link up with the 5G net work, to zap us

Starlink, all things to all people. To some, it's the Swiss army knife of bad things in orbit.

It would be easier to project advertisements on the dark part of the moon with lasers on Earth.

No sheet needed
Hearing Is Seeing: Sound Waves Create a 3-D Display

These speakers emit patterns of sound waves in the ultrasonic range—too high for the human ear to pick up—which sets up vibrations in the air that manipulate a plastic sphere slightly smaller than a sesame seed.

As the bead flies around in programmed patterns, the researchers project changing colors onto it. “We illuminate that levitated particle using RGB LEDs—red, green, blue—so we can control the color of the scattering light,” Hirayama says.

phenomenon is known as persistence of vision. The same principle enables a visual trick often seen on the Fourth of July, when the glowing head of a sparkler appears to trace golden outlines as one moves it through the night air

Sounds illuminating

Neat.
So it wiggles a tiny piece of plastic around and you shine a light on the plastic. Groovy. Not a hologram though. And I don't think you're going to accomplish acoustic levitation from space, or anywhere but inside an acoustic chamber.

Where does it say it needs a sound chamber.

This article has a video that shows no sound chamber.

Are there sound waves in space?

Please read the link I posted then look at the 2:05 point of the video.

Not really. No.

I think starlink has the potential to change the world in a very positive way.

Internet anywhere has many valuable applications.

I see, when you said chamber I was thinking a container or enclosed space.

Still it looks like they just need to send the signal from unit to unit, with plenty of open space. Take that frame from the video and expand it. Borrowing from the Op, That’s why there are so many satellites from star link.

IDK, where there is a will there is a way.
Is there a will? Perhaps, jury is out on that for me. I haven’t really looked into it.
Is there a way? Probably more than we known, but Sounds like we have some killer tech heading our way.

Acoustic levitation requires very powerful sound waves to levitate even very small particles.
Acoustic levitation requires sound.
Satellites are in space.
There is no sound in space.

But forget the technology. The whole concept of "Project Blue Beam" is just stupid.

Yes, you can watch youtube, use watsap and facebook anywhere and ignore the real world and actual people around you.

Insular. Perfect social distancing.

I have always been saddened by the rows of people paying attention to their screens, kids especially. And people who never even look out of public transport windows (or at eachother) to enjoy their voyage however large or small.

Absolutely pathetic examples of devolving human spirit.

SA Actually Recorded Sound In Space, And It’s Absolutely Chilling

Now yes, space is a virtual vacuum. However, sound does exist in the form of electromagnetic vibrations that pulsate in similar wavelengths.

a reply to: Observationalist

Electromagnetic radiation is not sound.

a reply to: Phage

I’m just following links here. I’m not trying to challenge you, just posting what’s out there.
There Actually Is Sound in Outer Space

About 250 million light years away, at the center of a cluster of thousands of galaxies, a supermassive black hole is humming to itself in the deepest note the universe has ever heard (as far as we know). The note is a B-flat, about 57 octaves below middle C, which is about a million billion times deeper than the lowest frequency sound we can hear (yes, that’s an actual number from actual scientists).

We know this because in 2003, NASA’s Chandra X-ray space telescope spotted a pattern in the gas that fills the Perseus Cluster: concentric rings of light and dark, like ripples in a pond. Astrophysicists say those ripples are the traces of incredibly low frequency sound waves; the brighter rings are the peaks of waves, where there’s the greatest pressure on the gas. The darker rings are the troughs of the sound waves, where the pressure is lower.

So are they talking about electromagnetic radiation (like sound waves) or real sound waves?

a reply to: Observationalist

They are talking about compression waves in gas clouds, technically "sound" (of absurdly long wavelength), but not really "space." I knew of this, that's why when I first answered your question I said "No. Not really."

And it is an entirely different phenomenon from what your original quote is talking about.

a reply to: Phage

Gotcha, so no busking on the moon.

No one not thought about the trumpet sounds around the world are a test of range for blue beam?
