Flat Earth General / Re: to day solar storm
« on: May 13, 2024, 04:57:03 PM »
It was a cold as fuck night, roughly about 58°F when the day was about 82°F.
The temperature drops at night?  Wow, who knew... Also 58 isn't very cold.  I was outside with no shirt for 40 minutes taking pictures, and then again at 1:30 in the morning just standing out there watching the show.

Yeah I don't trust all these filters. You could make a camera filter that superimposes Nazi troops in the  background level (as simple as painting it on the glass)
Not sure if you're trolling us, or you really didn't think about that much before posting.

  I didn't realize this was an actual job.  What a great idea!
I keep hearing that from some fe'rs, but haven't figured out how to apply yet, other than getting lucky on YT.

Planes measure for level flight in air with equalizing air pressure around them in flight, and fly in flat and straight paths within air, not any curved paths, which would not be flown as level if it curved at all.
So you don't understand what 'level' is on the globe.

haha who said that?
It was a question I asked of Bulma when he insinuated the Blackpool photographer was 'biased in favor of RE', or something like that.  I'm pretty sure a camera can't read the mind of the photographer, therefore the bias must be with the camera itself.... if bias affected the picture that is... according to Bulma.

I would still love to know how a camera can be biased.

Flat Earth General / Re: Polaris
« on: April 29, 2024, 09:46:20 AM »


That's about as far as the optical devices in use today will take you.
What's the elevation of Polaris in that shot?  Also, how is there a southern celestial pole in the opposite direction, and is always south?

You angry globularists never really look for the information you think we don't provide https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=Ships%20appear%20to%20sink%20as%20they%20recede%20past%20the%20horizon

Why wasn't an orthographic diagram used for that 3rd one, to actually show what happens to the line of sight?

8
Yeah uhhh, it doesn't even make any sense. Let's discuss why.

Contradiction 1......
I see the problem.  You apparently have no understanding of this subject.  Perhaps watch some videos on how eclipses, shadows, and moon phases work.

9
Again, propulsion only works if you press against something.
Will a denser medium or denser air result in a rocket flying faster?

I guess that's a 'yes' to my question?

As molecules get less and less dense, to quote the video, propulsion becomes more and more like "doing pushups on water." Are you Jesus? No? Then why should we take it on faith that you can manage this sort of propulsion on thin air? And when you get into an outright vacuum, we get into "Whatchu talking 'bout Willis?" territory when you suggest such a thing.

If you have a garden hose with the nozzle going wide open, does the nozzle push against your hand because the water is pushing off the air?

Flat Earth Debate / Re: Video. Should we see the sun Shrink.
« on: February 11, 2024, 11:04:57 AM »
You guys call this lies, but let's do a challenge. Make a picture of how exactly this works. Sun millions of miles away, bounces on a curve and hits the moon, which appears to be opposite it and the same size.

If the sun is the perfect distance away to look the same size as the moon, shouldn't it usually appear behind the moon or above it? But no, except for during an eclipse, the sun and moon are nearly always opposite each other. And shouldn't we see this light transferring one to another? After all, it should be passing by us. But no, we can see the sun's rays from the sun, we can see moonlight from the moon, but we never see sun to moonlight. We also can look directly at the moon, and we do not go blind.
It's easy to make a picture of how it works with the globe, but you seem to be describing something different.  I'm not sure you understand how the moon is illuminated.


Yes, despite the fact that a single carousel ride at Disney should tell you different.
  Why should it tell you different?

13
Any time a professional allows bias to color their observations, they have failed as a professional.
But how does this make the camera biased?

14
In other words, a moonrise could happen from the east or the west (unlike the sun). So a lunar eclipse is probably when the moon rises from the same direction as the sun has set.
Lol... Has this ever occurred?

That's apparently what thwy say. The sun rises and sets always in the same direction. But the moon follows its own orbit.
Who says the moon could rise in the west?  Citation?


Could it be because as a two-dimensional object it has no backside?

We have no proof except for composite photos from NASA that there is a backside. The moon is tidally locked. It only shows one side... to the entire Earth. It never rotates at all, the phases are caused by moon being at different angles of the sun.

Second, it's not solid. They did controlled vibrations on the moon, and the moon vibrated for half an hour. "Rang like a bell," they said. If we're assuming they were able to land on the moon (I'm not), then by their own entry, it's flat. And by their own tests, it's not what you'd call solid.

 So nothing you said about the moon is right. Congratulations!
Obviously you haven't heard of moon libration, and a 2d flat moon would appear increasingly elliptical the farther one got from 90 degree line of sight to it.
     Also, how would a flat surface have phases by simply changing the angle to the sun?  The entire surface would either be illuminated, or dark.

Flat Earth General / Re: FES = Controlled Opposition
« on: April 24, 2023, 11:40:54 AM »
It was long time ago... I was wrong about the shape of the earth and i retracted that BS long time ago as well...

However ZIGZAG argument is still very interesting in many ways...
I forgot that "zigzag argument".  That one was hilariously bad.  Zero comprehension of distances on the part of flat Earthers.

16
I see flat Earthers are still confused when it comes to curvature and the horizon.

Cikljamas demonstrated his dishonesty long ago.  I don't think he ever did explain himself on this one, https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=62346.msg1660230#msg1660230

Lots of oldies coming back, by the looks of things. I wonder what that's all about?
I'm sure 'Wise' is on it.  He'll let us know.

Flat Earth Debate / Re: The dip of the horizon
« on: January 23, 2023, 09:10:02 PM »
Horizons are perfectly flat and straight across, rising as we rise above the Earth's flat surface.

'Eye level' means in your sightline, in direct view outward, not moving or looking side to side, up or down, but in your direct view outward, which means it is at eye level.


Why would horizons be seen around the MIDDLE of images, if they're not at eye level?

We don't point cameras down, when taking pictures of them, right?

Images show you're wrong, because they are in the MIDDLE of our images, or almost so, if you haven't noticed that yet.

We point the camera directly out as level as possible to the ground, assuming it is flat and level,  first of all, to make cameras as level as possible for our photos.

That's how come the horizons are in the MIDDLE of images, because they ARE at 'eye level', and our images prove it, show it, IS at eye level, in fact.
You haven't seen what happens when using a water level to level the camera at higher elevation have you.

Just watched a preview.  I'll have to check this one out.

Started watching it around season 3 and then binged 1 and 2.  Yeah could we get a 'Roy' video game?  Just take a break from life and live another life for 50 some odd years?

I'm on that channel.  Your name is familiar.  *nevermind, it's Cosmology Tartaria.  Shane is the owner there.  There are some thick ones there.  FTFE vs the server (or just witsit sometimes) is usually fun.

Maybe he's been busy putting out that tanker design and running the major safety regulation enforcement agency for all of Europe.  After moving the operation from that small house on the edge of a field to an apartment building, he might have finally made the jump to a garage with a parking lot or something.

Not sure how long, I could check I suppose... meh.... but I've dropped off Wise's s**tlist, so however long that takes I guess.

Birds fly easily when there isn't anything beyond their weight an propulsion. Flight is easy when you are a chirpy little thing. But it is not when your mass is greater than propulsion. Anda bird trying to fly with a constant downward pull would be akin to rain beating down on it every hour of every day. Yet birds can fly quite high considering their tiny size. And even bigger birds are more powerful fliers. Some moyntain birds fly tens of thousands of feet. Gravity? What gravity? It's only their density. A bird stuffed full of corn can't fly. It isn't that they are being pulled down. The bird is too fat to fly!
Did you forget about the fact they have wings?  Kind of like planes... but birds flap their wings.  Either way... wings.

If I built a road from Venezuela to Bolivia on a flat level ground with no hills to speak of, in fact, I used a bulldozer to plow through mountains, this be a completely straight line. Correct? The line should look as straight as...
=======================================================
Like that. Correct? Well, assuming your equator curve correctly around a globular Earth, the road winds up looking like that in brown rather than in green. The road would have to adjust for curvature, and increasingly adjust the further the distance.
The brown road would be level though.  Your green road, while perfectly straight, would not be level.

There is no hill or bulge in the middle! Nor is this behavior explainable with the presence of water. There are no hills of water. Anywhere!!! We have waves, and when those settle, water is flat.

 You see how I curved water to make a hill? And let's say this hill is high enough to touch the underside of the bridge. No, not a wave. A hill that just sits there. No water does not curve.
What is your definition of "hill"?  Would you say it is an area of higher elevation surrounded by lower elevation?

Actually, to be perfectly accurate, I need to be moving at 67,000 mph divided by the difference in size between be and the Earth around the table, while spinning around... at (24,859.734 is the circumference, so unless you are quoting BS models from wikipedia
And what are you quoting?

(you are), they told me  465 meters/second... 0.465km/s x 60 = 27.9km/m x 60 = 1674 km/h -> 1040.175 mph rotation. Yes, you should be able to feel the Earth spinning, even per second), while doing spastic wobbling. Somehow, I am orbiting in a straight line? Whatever. This is all funny math.
  Are you saying RPM is not a real measurement?  It's also obvious that you don't realize we don't feel motion, but we do feel acceleration.  What is the acceleration in those figures you posted?

Flat Earth General / Re: Where did this idea come from?
« on: August 01, 2022, 09:34:52 AM »

Your model doesn't work. Mine does.
Your model fails completely.  The sun would never set, and it would have to circle around overhead faster during the southern summer as it makes a bigger circle.  Is that observed?  Nope.

     What is the circumference of the equator on your model, and the distance from it to the north pole?  Directions of sunrise and sunset don't work on your model either.

     Landmasses are distorted too.

  Amazing, those look so realistic the average person on the street might just be convinced dinosaurs are still alive.  You might just make me a flat Earther yet.
