With each eye seeing the same object from a slightly different angle, our brain can triangulate to work out the object’s distance.
But in a black hole, space is strongly curved, distorting the path of light rays.
“My first thought was, this is impossible, binocular vision becomes useless,” Hamilton told me. “It was a great revelation to me when I realised - oh my goodness, this is just a limitation of human beings.” With the extra perspective of a third eye, he realised, you would be able to compensate for the gravitational distortion and therefore judge distances well.
“The orbits are arranged so that at any time, anywhere on Earth, there are at least four satellites “visible” in the sky.”
“The correct time value will cause all of the signals that the receiver is receiving to align at a single point in space. That time value is the time value held by the atomic clocks in all of the satellites. So the receiver sets its clock to that time value, and it then has the same time value that all the atomic clocks in all of the satellites have.”

From Wikipeida:
The satellite medium, McLuhan states, encloses the Earth in a man-made environment, which “ends ‘Nature’ and turns the globe into a repertory theater to be programmed.“[47] All previous environments (book, newspaper, radio, etc.) and their artifacts are retrieved under these conditions (”past times are pastimes”). McLuhan thereby meshes this into the term global theater. It serves as an update to his older concept of the global village, which, in its own definitions, can be said to be subsumed into the overall condition described by that of the global theater.
