Title: When will RE Community Accept Defeat?
Post by: Plat Terra on July 29, 2019, 07:09:44 PM
When will RE Community Accept Defeat?

Both the coastlines of Atlantic and Pacific are at 0' Sea level and both are 3,962 miles from Earths alleged center.
The distance between Oceans with the Panama Canal in-between is about 36 Miles.
The center of Panama Canal is about 18 miles from the coast on Gatun Lake and is 85’ above each Ocean shoreline.
The drop in curvature at 18 miles is 216’.  That places Earth’s curvature at 216’ (3962 miles from center of Earth) feet above each coastline at center.
That also places Gatun Lake 131’ below Earths alleged 3962 mile radius marker.
That means if Earth were a Globe, the Panama Canal could not exist because Gatun Lake would be under 131’ of sea water at 18 miles from the Coast. The Canal exists because water does not curve.

It’s that simple, we won. We really never lost. Earth Remains a flat Plane with mountains, hills and valleys and sea level bodies of water.

But the real question is, when is the Globe community going to accept defeat?

NASA can't help them, fake pictures and fake moon landings cannot rescue them. 

No argument they have is going to magically make the oceans curve and flood the Panama Canal, no matter what they say or do.  It’s not going to happen.  After reading this if one continues to defend a Globe Earth theory, they are just professional deniers who really don’t care for truth.

The center of Panama Canal (18 miles) on Gatun Lake is 3,828 Miles
from center of an alleged Globe Earth with a 3,959 mile radius.


The "3828 miles" is the wrong part that confused you.

Elevations are measured from the sea level, not from some imaginary flat plane.
Sea level follows the shape of the Earth, not that flat plane.

a = 3963.19 miles
b = 3949.9 miles
(2a + b) / 3 = 3958.76 miles

Nope. Not going to work no matter how you twist it. Gatun Lake is 85 miles above both Oceans sea level, no matter how far sea level  is to the center of Earth at that location. The calculation to center of Earth at that location will still put the Panama Canal under water.  18 miles is not going to make any difference. You are being intellectually dishonest. You should know better.

Are you calling me "intellectually dishonest" to cover your misconceptions?

Water still follows the shape of the Earth, doesn't get flattened there by some unknown force.

EDIT: And you did just opposite: you "measured" from some imaginary straight line that would be secant (cord) of the shape of the sea.

That depends.  When will the FE community come up with a flat earth model that works better than the RE model?
When will the FE Community Accept Defeat in trying to come up with an accurate Flat Earth Map ?

That illustration is misleading and completely out of scale.
That illustration is completely dishonest !
Just who is being dishonest ?

The curvature of the earth would hardly be shown with that much curvature.
The length of the Panama Canal is about 51 miles.
The Panama Canal is close to the Equator at about 9 Degrees North Latitude.
The Circumference of the Earth would be close to 25,000 miles.
With the small mileage of 51 miles for the Panama Canal and the great mileage of 25,000 miles for the Circumference of the Earth, the curvature in that drawing should be shown as very close to a straight line instead of the exaggerated curve as shown in the drawing .

Speaking of the location of the Panama Canal, how far is it to the center of the Earth from the Pacific Ocean's and Atlantic Ocean's sea level? Again, how far is it from sea level at that location to the center of your alleged Earth?

The computation for the distance to the horizon for different heights above sea level is just one example of how the curvature of the earth has been measured.

It would depend on what section of Florida it would be measured .
The curvature is just the distance involved in comparison with the distance of the circumference of the Earth.
The example I mentioned in my post may not be a direct measurement of the curvature of the Earth but it definitely is prove of the evidence of the curvature of the earth.
Unless you want to call that as false....And the U.S. Navy and all its Lookouts are liars and part of the Conspiracy ?
The example was from the U.S. Navy's " Manual For Lookouts "
Which show the distance to the horizon for different heights above the level of the sea.
If the earth was flat the FE idea seems to be that a person could see at some  far distance and only limited by the Haze of the so-called "atmoplane" .
In reality the person on the real Earth can see is limited by the distance he can see to the horizon
And the distance the person can see to the horizon depends on high he is above the level of the sea or the land.
That is why, on early ships, the man in the crow's nest, mounted high on one of the masts of the ship, could see farther than the man on the bridge of the ships.
Atmospheric conditions play a part in how far a person can see , too, of course.
If the earth was flat , the man on the bridge could see just as far as the man in the crow's nest.
There would be no need for crow's nests on ships if the earth was flat.

Of course this is all really elementary.
Everyone but Flat Earthers seem to be aware the Earth is not a Flat Earth.

The real question is "  When will the FE Community Accept  Defeat ? "
I think it is something like that last line of  the University  Of Texas song :
" The eyes of Texas are upon you..........'Til Gabriel blows His Horn ! "
LOL

It's late. Simple mistake. I had miles instead of 131 feet in my write up. My Meme is still correct the Panama Canal wouldn't exist if Earth were a sphere.

Both the coastlines of Atlantic and Pacific are at 0' Sea level and both are 3,962 miles from Earths alleged center.
The distance between Oceans with the Panama Canal in-between is about 36 Miles.
The center of Panama Canal is about 18 miles from the coast on Gatun Lake and is 85’ above each Ocean shoreline.
The drop in curvature at 18 miles is 216’.  That places Earth’s curvature at 216’ (3962 miles from center of Earth) feet above each coastline at center.
That also places Gatun Lake 131’ below Earths alleged 3962 mile radius marker.
That means if Earth were a Globe, the Panama Canal could not exist because Gatun Lake would be under 131’ of sea water at 18 miles from the Coast. The Canal exists because water does not curve.

It’s that simple, we won. We really never lost. Earth Remains a flat Plane with mountains, hills and valleys and sea level bodies of water.

But the real question is, when is the Globe community going to accept defeat?

You are insisting on the same mistake:

Those 85 feet of Gatun, and those 54 feet of Miraflores are measured from sea level,
not from flat plane that would connect Atlantic and Pacific under it.

Your "216 ft" are below those 85 and 54 feet, doesn't overlap them.

Sea level is where your blue arc is on your image, and Gatun and Miraflores are 85 and 54 feet above it.

No, I am bypassing our sea level, and I am measuring from Each Coast line going to your center. The 85' is above both coastlines and I then add your fake curvature in between the shorelines to complete the your radius. That places Gatun below your fake curve.

If there were 200 miles between coastlines and the lake was still at 85' above each coastlines and at center (100 miles) the Lake would be 6669' below your imaginary curve. Are you seeing it yet?

It is measured from local sea level, not from some sea somewhere else (over there at the coast).

What measures would you get if you measure from the level of the Indian ocean?

You are ignoring the Curvature drop over 36 miles. Why? None of your diagrams include the curvature drop? Why?

Where is the curvature drop of 216' at 18 miles?

I clearly showed you where is the drop of 216 feet.
It is below the sea level.

Between the sea level and the plane connecting the coast lines.

EDIT: My mistake, and my apologies.

The drop is 216 feet, but from the local horizontal line at one coast.
The bulge is smaller.
The bulge is 53 feet high.

The drop in curvature at 18 miles is 216’.  That places Earth’s curvature at 216’ (3962 miles from center of Earth) feet above each coastline at center.
That also places Gatun Lake 131’ below Earths alleged 3962 mile radius marker.

You are insisting on the same mistake:

Those 85 feet of Gatun, and those 54 feet of Miraflores are measured from sea level,
not from flat plane that would connect Atlantic and Pacific under it.

Sea level is where your blue arc is on your image, and Gatun and Miraflores are 85 and 54 feet above it.

No, I am bypassing our sea level, and I am measuring from Each Coast line going to your center. The 85' is above both coastlines and I then add your fake curvature in between the shorelines to complete the your radius. That places Gatun below your fake curve.

If there were 200 miles between coastlines and the lake was still at 85' above each coastlines and at center (100 miles) the Lake would be 6669' below your imaginary curve. Are you seeing it yet?

You did bypass the sea level.

People who measured 85 and 54 feet didn't bypass the sea level.

It is measured from local sea level, not from some sea somewhere else (over there at the coast).

When will RE Community Accept Defeat?
All the points you raise show nothing more than your failure to understand that elevations are measured above Mean Sea Level and not above some arbitrary lines that you choose to draw.

But the Globe Community might consider accepting defeat when, for a start, you have proven the earth to be flat with a coherent model that has:
This is just a few that I can think of on the spot. Come back when you have sorted all those out.

I'm sure we can come up with a lot more things like the direction of rotation of hurricanes and cyclones and then the ordinary High and Low weather systems.

I'm sure that all these simple points have been raised before but I made a neat list for you to start on.

In answer to your question, plat, the re community will accept defeat when an asteroid collides with our spinning ball planet and flattens it.

Until that happens - never. But don't worry, I'm sure you and your 70 other staunch flat earth believers will manage to convince maybe one or two more people of the 7.7 billion people on the planet right now, their world isn't a globe.

In the meantime, how about learning how flat and level are two completely different things, and that level means to be perpendicular to the force of gravity. Your water in the canal is level in accordance with the gravity of a great big ball.

No it does not work that way. You have it 301' above each Ocean and are measuring 216 + 85 from each ocean.
But elevations are not measured above your straight line joining the nearest oceans.
The elevations on contour maps are based on where Mean Sea Level would be if a canal/watercourse were extended to that point.
It is the job of geodetic surveyors to determine local reference points, Geodetic Datums, showing precise latitude,  longitude and height above (or below) Mean Sea Level.

Quote from: Plat Terra
Elevation maps have only it at 85' above each Ocean
No, the elevations on elevation maps are not measured above the straight line joining each Ocean.

Quote from: Plat Terra
and that's why if Earth were a sphere the Canal would be under 131' of sea water.           
Hence the Canal would be not be under 131' of sea water.  Elevations along the canal route are measured above the level the oceans would have if extended along the route of the canal.

Yeah, it does work that way, in the globe model. Before you get your knickers all bunched up in a knot, what I am saying is that you need to know and understand what you arguing against in order to effectively argue against it. Clearly, in this case, you don't.

As Macarios has painstakingly laid out and diagrammed, in the globe model, for simplicity sake, the elevation point is 0 at mean sea level. For lack of a better descriptor, that's where we start counting upwards in terms of how high shit is. Example, Everest. How tall? 29k feet and a handful of nickels. What's that based on? Mean sea level. Is there a goddamned sea anywhere near Everest? No. It's based upon what the mean sea level would be as it would slice through the base of the mountain...on a globe earth, arcing, ever so slightly because earth is massive.

Panama Canal. Atlantic side mean seal level 0. Pacific side, mean sea level 0. Mean sea level (MSL) continues as a line all the way from Pacific to Atlantic. Now imagine, Globe theory, the mean sea level is still arcing, the whatever you call it Panama Canal lake is at a water level 85' above MSL. The 216' feet of earth bulge is neither here nor there because it represents you looking straight through the spherical earth 36 miles away. You're looking straight through the arc of a sphere. If you simply walked along the contour of the sphere at MSL the lake level would continue to be 85' above you.

Understand first what one theory, in this case, Globe, purports. Then devise your argument against it. What you're doing is making up how one theory wouldn't work without knowing how that theory actually works. We've all done that. But we've all been called out on it too. And now is your time to be called out for not knowing a thing about what your talking about.

 If you actually attempted to verified the 216' of curvature bulge between the two oceans on this Earth you would come up 216' short. This is why you guys actually ignore proving you live on a spinning ball through curvature verification. What you have on paper does not match real time.

The distance of 18 miles has bulge of 53 ft.

If there was no land, then the water would take its level in the shape of smooth ellipsoid.
Land submerged in that water is higher than that ellipsoid (the sea level) and the elevation is measured from that ellipsoid.

It is also sea level there.

Stash-
My many thanks to you for your drawing.
IMO this shows the best explanation of the true topography of the canal in relation to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Possibly the only criticism is the land mass elevations are exaggerated in relation to the rest of the scale of the drawing.
Macarios has put a lot of work in trying to explain where the errors are in PlatTerra's drawings too.

I think this whole Panama Canal subject seems rather simple to anyone who has ever studied it in some of their history classes.
As I best remember we got into the details such as how the locks raised the ships from 0 sea level to 85 feet above sea level, etc., somewhere around the 7th Grade in Elementary School History Class. And even more so in College.
But it seems some of the  FE's have missed the boat on things that seem so simple to RE's.

Not above Coast Line, that's what I'm trying to tell you from the beginning.
The Coast Line is 18 miles away.

The 85 feet above Sea Level is measured right there, at the center of the canal.
That's not the same thing.

Sea Level and Flat Plane are two different things.
On global scale Sea Level (the reference surface) is not flat, it has the shape of the oblate spheroid.

Stash gave much better diagram of the Canal in his reply.
Googleotomy quoted it right above this.

It confused me for the moment when you mentioned 18 miles.
Sorry.

This is right set of values.

(https://i.resimyukle.xyz/SCK1TB.png)



Which means this is correct representation of measurements:

(https://i.resimyukle.xyz/VUMzA2.png)


Let me repeat:

All elevations everywhere are measured from the Local Sea Level, not from some existing sea water somewhere else.

Oh, but the center of the Canal is 85' above each coastline. You have it at 301' above each coast. This does not agree with current elevation maps because they do not include Earth's alleged curvature.

Elevation is defined as " The height above Mean Sea Level '' .
The Elevation at the center of the Canal is 85 feet above sea level.
The Elevation at the Coast Line is sea level or 0 feet.
What is so hard to understand that ?
You just have to get over believing thinking that the earth is flat . The "flat plane" has nothing to do with the elevation.

It's my own "IMHO" but I think the real question of this topic should not be "When will the RE Community Accept Defeat ?" but should be "When will the FE Community Accept Defeat" ?

I might be wrong, but I don't see these things as a matter of "victory" and "defeat".
At least not directly.

Flat Earth movement will never stop.
Not completely.
There will always be some people who will try to gain some attention/benefit through it,
and their followers who will believe them and try to defend their "views".

Explaining the reality to followers will not defeat the followers.
It will defeat the deceivers who (deliberately or accidentally) misinformed them.

It's late. Simple mistake. I had miles instead of 131 feet in my write up. My Meme is still correct the Panama Canal wouldn't exist if Earth were a sphere.

Both the coastlines of Atlantic and Pacific are at 0' Sea level and both are 3,962 miles from Earths alleged center.
The distance between Oceans with the Panama Canal in-between is about 36 Miles.
The center of Panama Canal is about 18 miles from the coast on Gatun Lake and is 85’ above each Ocean shoreline.
The drop in curvature at 18 miles is 216’.  That places Earth’s curvature at 216’ (3962 miles from center of Earth) feet above each coastline at center.
That also places Gatun Lake 131’ below Earths alleged 3962 mile radius marker.
That means if Earth were a Globe, the Panama Canal could not exist because Gatun Lake would be under 131’ of sea water at 18 miles from the Coast. The Canal exists because water does not curve.

It’s that simple, we won. We really never lost. Earth Remains a flat Plane with mountains, hills and valleys and sea level bodies of water.

But the real question is, when is the Globe community going to accept defeat?

At the very bottom we have the same thing, just with another configuration.
The sea gull is 100 feet above the water.

Coastal lines at Panama City and Isla Pedro Gonzales are 46.02 miles apart.
Curvature bulge is 353 feet.

Is the sea gull 100 feet, or 453 feet above sea level?
Will you measure from coast line, or from current location?

The main question is:
Does it matter if there is some soil higher than the water under the sea gull, or not?

When you have actually proved the center of the Panama Canal is 301' above the both Coastlines....(which actually verifies curvature)

and when you have actually verified the alleged 216' of surface curvature bulge (at center) between the two oceans, then you will have something important to say and be a hero for the Globe community. But you can't. Why?

Top maps and elevations maps do not included alleged surface curvature. If they did, the center of the canal would be placed at 301' on the map in some way like your "underground plane connecting oceans" diagram, instead of just 85' above each ocean.

The baseline for topological maps (including Google Earth) is Mean Sea Level and whether you like it or not that is extended over land as though there were a se-level canal across that land.

In practice, this levelling is done by geodetic surveyors one of whose is installing benchmarks (variously called survey marks, survey monuments, survey benchmarks or geodetic marks) for location and elevation above what the local Mean Sea Level would be.
This sort of thing:
Quote
U.S. Geodesic Benchmark Key West, Florida

Not often seen or noticed U. S. Government marker on the grounds of the Monroe County Courthouse, Key West, FL. US Geodesic Survey Benchmark indicating official height of Key West above sea level. Key West is 14.324 feet above sea level

There is none of this recording "heights" above any line joining the nearest oceans.

I really think that before asking a question like "When will RE Community Accept Defeat?" you need to learn a little about the Globe that you are trying to debunk.

By the way, how are you going on the list I gave earlier?
The Globe Community might consider accepting defeat when, for a start, you have proven the earth to be flat with a coherent model that has:
  • An accurate map with the correct distances and directions adequate for long and short distance precise navigation.
    Note that ship and aircraft navigator have long used Globe derived maps to determine distance and directions.
    Many aircraft flights, including Kingsford Smith's crossing of the Pacific would have ended in disaster without accurate charts.

  • A flat earth shape/topology that allows "circumnavigation" in any of the many directions that have already been performed.
    In particular there are numerous polar-circumnavigations via both poles and a number equatorial circumnavigation, including one within 2 degrees of the equator.

  • An explanation for both the sun and moon appearing to rise top first from behind the horizon and appearing to set bottom first behind the horizon.

  • An explanation for the sun and moon remaining almost exactly the same angular size from rising to setting and from wherever they are observed.

  • Some way to predict the directions and times of sunrises and sunsets.

  • A shape that allows the elevation of the Pole star, Polaris, above horizontal to be almost equal to the latitude from which the observation is made.

  • An explanation for the constellations remaining the same shape and size from rising to setting and from wherever they are observed.

  • How the stars in the Northern Hemisphere can appear to rotate anti-clockwise around what known as the North Celestial Pole (close to Polaris) while
    the stars in the Southern Hemisphere can appear to rotate clockwise around what known as the South Celestial Pole (close to the faint star Sigma Octantis).
    In other words the stars appear to rotate around two distinct axes of rotation.
There another simple observation that confirms that we live on a Globe and that is:

No, your Globe is not very big. There is a 216' drop in curvature just 18 miles away and in any direction. And you wonder why the southern half of the state of Louisiana floods. Hell, just 3 miles away there is a 6' drop in curvature. Water always has a place to go on a sphere. You can't flood a ball, right?

That 216' of drop can be easily verified, but none of you can do it. If you could the Flat Earth debate would be over, but no, the fantasy has to continue without proof of a foundation.

I think part of Plat Terra's problem is not seeing the big picture.
As good as those drawings are , those drawings only show 36 miles.
That is only 36 miles and the circumference of the earth is close to 25,000 miles at the latitude of the Panama Canal.
36 miles is a very small percentage of that 25,000 miles.
So there is very little curvature of the earth involved
To get the big picture you would have to make a drawing to the same scale for a circle with a circumference of 25,000 miles.

And once again elevations are heights above Mean Sea Level for any place on Earth.

On second thought I wonder if it would really be a good idea if some FE followed my suggestion to find and  talk to a Navy QMC about a flat earth ?  Do you think they would even listen to them ?

It is very easy to verify the surface curvature of the sea from a ship at sea. Just  ask a QMC. You can do it.😁

Here is a suggestion for you to prove that the earth is flat. You can do it. 😁
(1) Buy or rent a good camera with a good lens.
(2) Buy or rent a good telescope or telescopic lens for the camera of very high power.
(3) Buy an infrared filter and some infrared film for the camera.
(4) Go to the coast. Any place on Earth will do. A clear sunny day would be best.
(5) Take some pictures of one place taken from one place.
(6) For example a picture of the coast of Africa taken from the coast of South America will do.
(7) My own suggestion would be to go to Point Loma in San Diego and take some pictures of Diamond Head in Honolulu.
( 8 ) Post those pictures on this website. They certainly would prove there is no curvature of the earth and the earth is flat.
All of that equipment should be available at your local camera store and might not cost too much if you just rented it for just an hour or so.

There is no 301 feet from "somewhere" because the "straight line through the ground" is in reality completely irrelevant
and not a single geodesist would have a reason to take it into consideration and measure anything from there.

How high above sea level is Lake Kariba between Zambia and Zimbabwe, south of Lusaka (elevation is 1591 ft)?
Would you measure it from some unimportant underground ine that connects eastern and western coastal lines of Africa?
(The coastal lines are 1500 miles apart, the bulge in the center is 71 miles = 375 000 ft, but the elevation of the lake is not 376 600 ft.)

Or from Sea Level directly under the Kariba lake, and ignore some irrelevant underground line? (How high is Mount everest?)

Don't make it too hard for the poor guy. I doubt that an infrared  camera could photograph that far.
But there are plenty of flat-earth videos (with good evidence for the Globe) showing a few hundred kilometres from aircraft.

Just ask for a photo of Alice Town, Bimini, the westernmost island of the Bahamas from Miami. It's only 83 km and should be easy to see if the earth is flat.

He could even climb the 250 m Panorama Tower in Miami if he needs to though that should be unnecessary if the earth is flat.

He should take a good level and see if the horizon really does rise to "eye-level" from that 250 m above MSL and not about 0.5° below.

And he appears in the list of 100 top mathematicians: Top Mathematicians (https://www.famousscientists.org/top-mathematicians/).

Yet most look on Omar Khayyam as just a poet and the author of poems as in the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.

Here's a very exaggerated depiction of how the cross section of the canal would look. I'm not sure how this is different from what Marcarios has shown, but it tries to show the elevation of the topography of the canal in relation to the two oceans. It's how the globe model works:

My many thanks to you for your drawing.
IMO this shows the best explanation of the true topography of the canal in relation to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Possibly the only criticism is the land mass elevations are exaggerated in relation to the rest of the scale of the drawing.
Macarios has put a lot of work in trying to explain where the errors are in PlatTerra's drawings too.

I think this whole Panama Canal subject seems rather simple to anyone who has ever studied it in some of their history classes.
As I best remember we got into the details such as how the locks raised the ships from 0 sea level to 85 feet above sea level, etc., somewhere around the 7th Grade in Elementary School History Class. And even more so in College.
But it seems some of the  FE's have missed the boat on things that seem so simple to RE's.
It's my own "IMHO" but I think the real question of this topic should not be "When will the RE Community Accept Defeat ?" but should be "When will the FE Community Accept Defeat" ?

This is the original one that wasn't faked with curve.

How do you like the true topography now? Or do you still like the one that was faked with curvature?

No. The original drawing wasn't faked . It shows the curvature of the earth.
As mentioned previously , you really need to extend that drawing to show the entire circumference of the earth to get the big picture of just how small the distance of the Panama Canal is compared to the circumference of the globe.
The other drawing is flat and does not show the curvature.
There is a curvature.
The earth is a globe , not a flat disc.
The earth is so big the curvature of the earth involved in the Panama Canal looks almost like a straight line.

Not to mention any names but I think  some persons need to take me up on my suggestion and talk to a QMC about a flat Earth. LOL
Title: Re: When will RE Community Accept Defeat?
Post by: robintex on July 31, 2019, 08:22:21 AM
Top maps and Elevations maps place the center of the Panama Canal at 85' above both oceans and not at 301"
And that is irrelevant!

Why don't you prove you're not defeated. Verify the surface curvature of any landmass or Canal. You can do it!  ;D

It is very easy to verify the surface curvature of the sea from a ship at sea. Just  ask a QMC. You can do it.😁

Here is a suggestion for you to prove that the earth is flat. You can do it. 😁
(1) Buy or rent a good camera with a good lens.
(2) Buy or rent a good telescope or telescopic lens for the camera of very high power.
(3) Buy an infrared filter and some infrared film for the camera.
(4) Go to the coast. Any place on Earth will do. A clear sunny day would be best.
(5) Take some pictures of one place taken from one place.
(6) For example a picture of the coast of Africa taken from the coast of South America will do.
(7) My own suggestion would be to go to Point Loma in San Diego and take some pictures of Diamond Head in Honolulu.
( 8 ) Post those pictures on this website. They certainly would prove there is no curvature of the earth and the earth is flat.
All of that equipment should be available at your local camera store and might not cost too much if you just rented it for just an hour or so.
Don't make it too hard for the poor guy. I doubt that an infrared  camera could photograph that far.
But there are plenty of flat-earth videos (with good evidence for the Globe) showing a few hundred kilometres from aircraft.

Just ask for a photo of Alice Town, Bimini, the westernmost island of the Bahamas from Miami. It's only 83 km and should be easy to see if the earth is flat.

He could even climb the 250 m Panorama Tower in Miami if he needs to though that should be unnecessary if the earth is flat.

He should take a good level and see if the horizon really does rise to "eye-level" from that 250 m above MSL and not about 0.5° below.

Thanks, Rabinoz.

Maybe a better suggestion would be take pictures of Cuba from that " Southernmost Point In The U.S " marker at Key West, Florida.
It is only about 90 miles from there to Cuba.
Been there, but I couldn't see Cuba with my binoculars .
Must have been too much Haze in the Atmoplane that day ?

I have also been to the top of Point Loma many times but have never been able to see Diamond Head from there.
Farthest I could see was to the horizon and that was only estimated to be about 25 miles.
The top of Point Loma is about 400 feet above sea level.

On those ships on which I sailed we never could see Diamond Head or Point Loma until we got near to Honolulu or San Diego.
An old QMC said it was because of the curvature of the earth.
The reason I keep mentioning  QMC's is that our Company Commander in Boot Camp was was a QMC with over 20 years service.
We were very much impressed with him. He never raised his voice,  never '' chewed anyone out '' and must have had the patience of Job to deal with our bunch of '' Boots ''. If you goofed up he would just take you aside , explain to you where you erred, and explain to you what you needed to do.

Curvature is curvature whether it is at sea or on land. One of the best places to verify this is to observe the Horizon at sea. Many people have done this for themselves many times. You could do that yourself.😁
And there is really no reason to not know the earth is round. It is a proven fact. You could look it up. You could do that yourself. 😁

Have you ever verified the flatness of the earth for yourself ?

I really think that before asking a question like "When will RE Community Accept Defeat?" you need to learn a little about the Globe that you are trying to debunk.




You are absolutely right! No one sees even the absolute obvious things. For example. The Bible is written - in plain text. God created the sun and the three moons. Three, not one! And now there is only one. People used to see three moons in the sky. The question is - how many people believe now that there were three moons? You can even create a society who believe that there was always only one moon. Since we see her alone. But the truth is that there were three of them ... So with flat land. You do not see everything, but argue and fight with sticks. I feel sorry for you.
Can you give a reference for " three moons"....?......Book, Chapter, Verse ?.....
Or was it in another Bible ?

Plat Terra, I really shouldn't say this, but you seem to be a hopeless case ! .😁

The height of the gates and the water level at the gates proves Earth is not a sphere but a Plane. You don't need a wall that high and gates that high to hold the water back on a sphere, but you do if Earth is a Plane. It's common engineering sense and a no brainer.

NASA can't help them, fake pictures and fake moon landings cannot rescue them. 

No argument they have is going to magically make the oceans curve and flood the Panama Canal, no matter what they say or do.  It’s not going to happen.  After reading this if one continues to defend a Globe Earth theory, they are just professional deniers who really don’t care for truth.

We know the earth is a sphere.
You simply don't  know what you are talking about and seem to have no grasp on reality.
We have tried to explain it but you don't seem to be getting it ?
The Panama Canal is above sea level.
People who work in the real world really know that the shape of the earth is not some flat disc and really know and have to know that the earth is a globe.
It is too bad that, as you have stated, that neither you nor any of your relatives have ever been to sea or apparently have never  been to a place on land near the sea.
If you had, you would have had the opportunity to observe how the horizon is is evidence of the curvature of the earth.

In view of the fact that all languages ​​are descended from a single parent language - Etruscan. And the translation from the original source was trimmed. Mainly due to the fact that vowels were not written in Etruscan and were voiced by the reader only during the reading. And in mind that the first chapters of the Bible on the creation of the world were the very first, then the translation was made from simple texts. From the Vedas you can learn only additional information that complements the Bible. Therefore, here is an approximate full sound of the text about the moon.
This is what is written after the distorted translation from Etruscan. Genesis - 1.
**
And God created two great lights: a greater light, to control the day, and a smaller light, to control the night, and stars;
And God set them up in the firmament of heaven, to shine upon the earth, and to rule day and night, and to separate the light from the darkness.

Correct translation
And then He created the sun Yarilo, and the big moon called the Month and the two moons, the small Fata and Lelia, which shone like stars, and put them on the firmament of the sky which is the luminiferous ether. To shine on the earth, and to manage day and night.
Two moons had a hydrosphere, because although they were small, they shone like stars in the night sky.
So here it is. Read learn. The same with flat land. The fall on the earth of the moon Fata fully proves that the earth is a ball, since the fall of its debris corresponds to the fall of objects from the orbit of the earth when the earth moved on its axis. So flat earthlings cry, you can not refute this.

You, too, will not be able to say that a flat space does not bend around closing on itself. You see only the consequence - which causes the earth to be a ball. None of us can imagine how the 5th dimension works. Our laws of physics are only a consequence of a standing wave set - the all-seeing eye is something that slightly resembles how the waves intersect creating our world. So the earth ball is not the fact that it really is.

For projects that extend over a long distance, like roads, railroads, canals, etc., they are built along the curvature of the Earth, and specifically accounting for the curvature is usually not needed.

But when the project extends on a long distance, as well as extending upwards, then we have no choice but to take the curvature of the Earth into account. One of such projects is the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, New York, United States.

Yeah, and I would be ashamed of myself for claiming and defending that blunder. I know they now claim it's the columns but anything can be tweaked to give people a illusion or thought of a Globe. Your bridge means and proves nothing, except it does prove if Earth were a Globe all bridges would be engineered for Globe curvature and not a gimmick one.

Title: Re: When will RE Community Accept Defeat?
Post by: robintex on July 31, 2019, 03:13:07 PM
The center of Panama Canal (18 miles) on Gatun Lake is 3,828 Miles
from center of an alleged Globe Earth with a 3,959 mile radius.


The "3828 miles" is the wrong part that confused you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, this might help you get the real picture:

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/WGS84_mean_Earth_radius.svg/440px-WGS84_mean_Earth_radius.svg.png)

a = 3963.19 miles
b = 3949.9 miles
(2a + b) / 3 = 3958.76 miles

Nope. Not going to work no matter how you twist it. Gatun Lake is 85 miles above both Oceans sea level, no matter how far sea level  is to the center of Earth at that location. The calculation to center of Earth at that location will still put the Panama Canal under water.  18 miles is not going to make any difference. You are being intellectually dishonest. You should know better.

If Gatun Lake is 85 miles (sic) above sea level , how could it be under water ?
Possibly you made a typo error - Gatun Lake is 85 feet above sea level.
Still if something is above sea level, how could it be under water ?

In spherical world engineers measure from Mean Sea Level.
Not from some imaginary straight line underground.
Not from some point 18 miles away.

Engineers know that builders will measure from Mean Sea Level as well.
Not from that imaginary straight line.

For that straight line nobody cares in reality.
It means nothing.

Mean Sea Level is the level where the water would be if there was no land there.

One point is recorded in relation to the last.
So the end, they have an estimated ft above sea level.

For projects that extend over a long distance, like roads, railroads, canals, etc., they are built along the curvature of the Earth, and specifically accounting for the curvature is usually not needed.

But when the project extends on a long distance, as well as extending upwards, then we have no choice but to take the curvature of the Earth into account. One of such projects is the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, New York, United States.



but do go on in your tomB fashion and hold onto your one misconception as the basis of your failed argument.

Yeah, and I would be ashamed of myself for claiming and defending that blunder. I know they now claim it's the columns but anything can be tweaked to give people a illusion or thought of a Globe. Your bridge means and proves nothing, except it does prove if Earth were a Globe all bridges would be engineered for Globe curvature and not a gimmick one.

the curvature on your pic would be far less than a degree. but thanks for proving again that you have no clue what you're talking about.

Plat Terra, I really shouldn't say this, but you seem to be a hopeless case ! .😁

The height of the gates and the water level at the gates proves Earth is not a sphere but a Plane. You don't need a wall that high and gates that high to hold the water back on a sphere, but you do if Earth is a Plane. It's common engineering sense and a no brainer.

NASA can't help them, fake pictures and fake moon landings cannot rescue them. 

No argument they have is going to magically make the oceans curve and flood the Panama Canal, no matter what they say or do.  It’s not going to happen.  After reading this if one continues to defend a Globe Earth theory, they are just professional deniers who really don’t care for truth.

Do you understand how locks and Gates on a canal are used to raise or lower a ship ?
In the Panama Canal different sets of locks and gates raise the ship up to the elevations of the lakes from  one ocean  and then lower the ship back down to the other ocean.

This is a bit off topic , but it is related to surveying.
I took a course in " Elementary Plane Surveying " in Junior College.
The Lab part of the course was in the actual use of surveying instruments
The Lab was divided into 2 men teams.
You started from a point in a quadrangle on the campus and took measurements as you surveyed to a bench mark and then back to your starting point.
You were supposed to get the same elevation at the same place from where you started.
As I remember this was quite a long Lab exercise.

(https://i.imgur.com/nlTRp36.jpg)

I couldn't care less if "the curvature of the earth was taken into account when designing the bridge". Maybe it was but any difference would not show in a photo like that!

But you say "the water is supposed to curve with the bridge". Why? A bridge does not curve like that to follow the earth's curvature - there is no connection!

Even if the water was "supposed to curve" there is no way it would be visible in a photo like that.

As I have stated numerous times, the horizon from a low altitude should look (almost exactly) straight and horizontal.

So your claim "maybe there was an issue with gravity when the photo was made" is simply ludicrous.

You ignored the explanation of the straight horizon all the other times, so let's try again:
On a sphere, the water horizon is a circle all 360° around the observer and from a low altitude that circle is seen edge-on so looks almost exactly straight.[/i]

But even if the horizon did curve with the radius of the earth we could use the famous ::) 8" x (miles square) formula to work out the drop either side of the centre in that photo.

The "the Verrazano-Narrows bridge is 13700 feet long" so half the length is 6850' or 1.3 miles.
So the water at each end might be lower than the water in the middle by a whole 8" x 1.32 = 13.5".

No one in their right mind would suggest that we could see a 13.5" deviation from straight in a distance of 13700 feet!

So your meme, as are all the others, totally ridiculous.

Just to give you a sense of scale, the red line in the top box and the inset represents the full length of the Panama Canal in relation to the size of Earth and the degree to which there is curvature present for such a short distance.

Otherwise everything on the planet when expressed as height would be, "X feet above the 'underground plane'". That literally makes no sense.

You replied to these words "In a spherical world engineers would include curvature in their engineering profiles and drawings." Your reply has nothing to do with what I wrote in bold.

But you measured from the imaginary straight line, for your Globe Earth Model to show how much surface curvature there should be between oceans and where to place sea level (at 216') and where to place Gatun Lake.  Did you forget about this? See what you posted in the following link.

We have no problem to solve. You have!

But curvature of any landmass is rather useless because landmasses have so many "ups and downs" that 216' in 36 miles would never be noticed.

Can't you even read the diagram of the "Profile and Yardage Estimate" you posted? All elevations are measured from Mean Sea Level, look!
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/rjdguunsnjs0071/Profile%20and%20Yardage%20Estimates%2C%20Panama%20Canal%20-%20left.jpg?dl=1)
Look at the "Mean Sea Level" near the bottom left!

Look at the "Mean Sea Level" near the bottom!
"Mean Sea Level" never means the straight line joining two oceans.

And as NotSoSkeptical says, "Why does your blue sea level follow the continental slope that goes beneath the ocean?"

I expressed "underground plane connecting the oceans (0' elevation) coastlines". O' elevation is mean sea level.


The two points you connected are at 0' elevation MSL at those two points only. Why are you connecting them, then claiming that imaginary line represents sea level?

Your "underground plane" IS NOT SEA LEVEL!

Now, you can actually solve your problem by actually verifying the surface flatness of literally ANY 36 mile stretch of water on earth. Can you do it?

Oh, I have yet to get to the Suez Canal and the part of the Nile that flows for a 1000 miles north with only a one foot of drop.  Stay tuned!


If it's anything like the "evidence" you have presented so far, I literally cannot wait!

In the mean time. you should actually try to verify the surface curvature of any landmass or canal. You might be a hero!


I have actually been outside during sunrise / sunset.

And I suggest in the mean time, you actually learn how curvature and elevation work.  "Sea-level" is an elevation of 'zero' that follows Earth's curvature through land, not an elevation that runs in a straight tangent between coasts.

You lose.

What's your next question that you don't understand?

When will RE Community Accept Defeat?
All the points you raise show nothing more than your failure to understand that elevations are measured above Mean Sea Level and not above some arbitrary lines that you choose to draw.

But the Globe Community might consider accepting defeat when, for a start, you have proven the earth to be flat with a coherent model that has:
  • An accurate map with the correct distances and directions adequate for long and short distance precise navigation.
    Note that ship and aircraft navigator have long used Globe derived maps to determine distance and directions.
    Many aircraft flights, including Kingsford Smith's crossing of the Pacific would have ended in disaster without accurate charts.

  • A flat earth shape/topology that allows "circumnavigation" in any of the many directions that have already been performed.
    In particular there are numerous polar-circumnavigations via both poles and a number equatorial circumnavigation, including one within 2 degrees of the equator.

  • An explanation for both the sun and moon appearing to rise rise top first from behind the horizon and appearing to set bottom first behind the horizon.

  • An explanation for the sun and moon remaining almost exactly the same angular size from rising to setting and from wherever they are observed.

  • Some way to predict the directions and times of sunrises and sunsets.

  • A shape that allows the elevation of the Pole star, Polaris, above horizontal to be almost equal to the latitude from which the observation is made.

  • An explanation for the constellations remaining the same shape and size from rising to setting and from wherever they are observed.

  • How the stars in the Northern Hemisphere can appear to rotate anti-clockwise around what known as the North Celestial Pole (close to Polaris) while
    the stars in the Southern Hemisphere can appear to rotate clockwise around what known as the South Celestial Pole (close to the faint star Sigma Octantis).
    In other words the stars appear to rotate around two distinct axes of rotation.

This is just a few that I can think of on the spot. Come back when you have sorted all those out.

I'm sure we can come up with a lot more things like the direction of rotation of hurricanes and cyclones and then the ordinary High and Low weather systems.

I'm sure that all these simple points have been raised before but I made a neat list for you to start on.

    Quote
    Basic Perspective
    A fact of basic perspective is that the line of the horizon is always at eye level with the observer.
    Have you ever noticed that as you climb a mountain the line of the horizon seems to rise with you?
    But it is easy to show that the horizon does not rise to "eye-level" as elevation increases but falls below it be a quite predictable angle.

The topic is "When will RE Community Accept Defeat?" and those points are all very relevant to that question.

You asked the question but I fail to what gives you the right to ignore most of the evidence and concentrate on an issue that cannot be proven or disproven by any here.

On the Suez Canal:
The Suez Canal is now 120.1 miles long and, apart from small tidal differences, the surface is at sea-level.
What is the point in "showing how much surface curvature bulge the Suez canal should have at center by its over all length?"
The surface in the centre would be some 2405 feet above a straight line joining sea-level at each end but that is of no relevance!

If you take issue with that ask your nearest geodetic surveyor how the levels were determined.
Title: Re: When will RE Community Accept Defeat?
Post by: Macarios on July 31, 2019, 10:37:52 PM
In a spherical world engineers would include curvature in their engineering profiles and drawings. Are you seeing it yet?

In spherical world engineers measure from Mean Sea Level.
Not from some imaginary straight line underground.
Not from some point 18 miles away.

Engineers know that builders will measure from Mean Sea Level as well.
Not from that imaginary straight line.

For that straight line nobody cares in reality.
It means nothing.

Mean Sea Level is the level where the water would be if there was no land there.

You replied to these words "In a spherical world engineers would include curvature in their engineering profiles and drawings." Your reply has nothing to do with what I wrote in bold.

But you measured from the imaginary straight line, for your Globe Earth Model to show how much surface curvature there should be between oceans and where to place sea level (at 216') and where to place Gatun Lake.  Did you forget about this? See what you posted in the following link.

 https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=82582.msg2191475#msg2191475

It is you who measured from the imaginary straight line, and it is you who added those 216 feet.
You presented those 216 feet in your greatly exaggerated "pile of water"
where your versions of elevations were measured from the bottom of it.

I also asked you to make the same assumption for Lake Kariba in Zambia, to show you where is the error.
I also asked you to tell us how high was that sea gull south of Panama City, was it 453 or 100 feet?

Eleveation is measured from Mean Sea Level both in design and in construction.
That Mean Sea Level can be shown as straight line in blueprints,
because your 216 feet compared to 36 miles is 0.04088 / 36 = 0.0011356 = 0.11356%

If one makes the drawing of Panama Canal from end to end to be, say, 3 feet,
then the bulge in the middle would be 3 x 0.0011356 = 0.0034 ft which is 1 millimeter.
The pencil line is 0.7 milimeter thick.

Would you bother to draw that millimeter at the line 3 feet long (914 mm)?

Would that millimeter mean anything to construction teams, when they also measure from Mean Sea Level, and not from any straight line?

EDIT: If these images here on an average monitor are 0.3 ft wide, then the bulge in the middle is 0.1 mm, while one pixel is 0.28 mm.

You’re welcome.



Anyways. As already explained to you 100 times. The Panama Canal follows the curvature. 85 feet above sea level is 85 feet above sea level.

You said yes to "verifying the surface curvature of any landmass or canal" but gave a different argument. So I assume you can't do it?

Boats going over a alleged curve is a different issue. Some don't understand the science behind a surface mirage. You know, that image that heat and humidity creates near a flat surface and blocks the view?

Please note, you did not and will not ever debunk the globe.

You know, you can actually solve your problem by actually verifying the surface curvature of any landmass or canal. Can you do it?
We have no problem to solve. You have!

But curvature of any landmass is rather useless because landmasses have so many "ups and downs" that 216' in 36 miles would never be noticed.

And the curvature across place like Lake Pontchartrain have been demonstrated often enough.

And there's plenty more if you really want to be shown that water does really "curve".

I ask that you please stay on topic.

No, two different things. The Sues canal does not have any mass at center 85' above the sea level of both bodies of water. The oceans at the panama Canal does, but should have more if Earth is a sphere. The  lack of curvature is measured at the panama Canal. That's the key!

No?
Yes?
Not hard to verfiy what you said.
Trying to pull a donald trump?

You are welcome to quote me that states "the horizon line should equal ~200ft of buldge"

Or are you twisting things?

When will RE Community Accept Defeat?

Both the coastlines of Atlantic and Pacific are at 0' Sea level and both are 3,962 miles from Earths alleged center.
The distance between Oceans with the Panama Canal in-between is about 36 Miles.
The center of Panama Canal is about 18 miles from the coast on Gatun Lake and is 85’ above each Ocean shoreline.
The drop in curvature at 18 miles is 216’.  That places Earth’s curvature at 216’ (3962 miles from center of Earth) feet above each coastline at center.
That also places Gatun Lake 131’ below Earths alleged 3962 mile radius marker.
That means if Earth were a Globe, the Panama Canal could not exist because Gatun Lake would be under 131’ of sea water at 18 miles from the Coast. The Canal exists because water does not curve.

It’s that simple, we won. We really never lost. Earth Remains a flat Plane with mountains, hills and valleys and sea level bodies of water.

But the real question is, when is the Globe community going to accept defeat?

NASA can't help them, fake pictures and fake moon landings cannot rescue them. 

No argument they have is going to magically make the oceans curve and flood the Panama Canal, no matter what they say or do.  It’s not going to happen.  After reading this if one continues to defend a Globe Earth theory, they are just professional deniers who really don’t care for truth.

The person that made your meme is dishonest. No flat Earther thinks that would happen on a sphere. We understand your theory. It would curve as they expressed.

You realize that your uninformed notion about the Panama Canal is the same as the uninformed notion about the Suez Canal that you say no Flat Earther thinks would happen on a sphere?

These are the same bad concept:

No, two different things. The Sues canal does not have any mass at center 85' above the sea level of both bodies of water. The oceans at the panama Canal does, but should have more if Earth is a sphere. The  lack of curvature is measured at the panama Canal. That's the key! But, you and others here  like to twist things don't you!

Thebplease do define how there is a difference in waht you stated and what you have been shown to be incorrect?

This reply is for those who questioned why I have a blued curved ocean over the Panama Canal profile. It was just a visual illustration of how much water would be over the Canal area if Earth were a sphere. In my post I explain the Canal at center would be under 131’ of saltwater.  I didn’t know I had to spell it out for some.

I also would like to  make another point.

If Earth were a sphere and the land curved with the sphere, Gatun lake would have already been at least 301’ or more (instead of at 85’) from the underground plane connecting the oceans (at 0’ elevation) as seen from Macarios' drawing.

Since Earth’s surface was not at curvature of 216’ in reality, it was necessary for Macarios' to make it appear on paper it matched the Globe Earth model through curvature math.  But his method proved he was actually measuring from actually sea level and then moved sea level up to 216’ and placed Gatun 85' higher to match the Globe model.  So yes, if Earth were a sphere, the Panama Canal area would be under 131’ of water because the landmass is below the curvature of a sphere and Gatun is actually only 85' above both oceans and not 301 as can be seen in Macarios' drawing.  Thank goodness it's not a sphere, because a lot of landmass would be underwater. Only mountains and really high hills would exist.

No, Macarios was extremely clear, several times. Gatun lake is 85' above SEA LEVEL. This has absolutely nothing to do with a notion of an 'underground plane'. SEA LEVEL!

Title: Re: When will RE Community Accept Defeat?
Post by: JackBlack on August 01, 2019, 04:11:04 PM
We will accept defeat when the FEers actually manage defeat.
They are yet to come close.

There are so many issues that FE cannot explain which RE easily explain.
If you want to have REers accept defeat you will need to come up with a consistent FE model which addresses all the issues, rather than having heaps of different models where each model addresses a single issue.
You will also need to ditch the strawmanning and shifting of the burden of proof.

If you wish to assert that the lake is only 85 archaic units above the ocean, rather than sea level then you can provide the measurements which show that. Not just repeatedly stating it or providing a diagram showing elevation above sea level, but the actual measurements used to determine what the elevation is, with all the details.

Otherwise the best you can do is say that the RE side hasn't proven it is 85 archaic units above sea level. That doesn't defeat or disprove the RE side. It just means that one specific piece of information hasn't been sufficiently substantiated on this forum.

Your entire case seems to be complaining about the use of mean sea level rather than a particular imaginary line.
Why should that imaginary line be used rather than any other?
There is literally no justification to use any particular straight line.
This means you could produce loads of different diagrams with loads of different numbers with no justification for the numbers.
So instead mean sea level is used.

As for you cherry picking definitions, it doesn't matter how many there are, if you need to ignore one to make your case, it shows you have no case.

This reply is for those who questioned why I have a blued curved ocean over the Panama Canal profile. It was just a visual illustration of how much water would be over the Canal area if Earth were a sphere. In my post I explain the Canal at center would be under 131’ of saltwater.  I didn’t know I had to spell it out for some.

I also would like to  make another point.

If Earth were a sphere and the land curved with the sphere, Gatun lake would have already been at least 301’ or more (instead of at 85’) from the underground plane connecting the oceans (at 0’ elevation) as seen from Macarios' drawing.

Since Earth’s surface was not at curvature of 216’ in reality, it was necessary for Macarios' to make it appear on paper it matched the Globe Earth model through curvature math.  But his method proved he was actually measuring from actually sea level and then moved sea level up to 216’ and placed Gatun 85' higher to match the Globe model.  So yes, if Earth were a sphere, the Panama Canal area would be under 131’ of water because the landmass is below the curvature of a sphere and Gatun is actually only 85' above both oceans and not 301 as can be seen in Macarios' drawing.  Thank goodness it's not a sphere, because a lot of landmass would be underwater. Only mountains and really high hills would exist.

It was just a visual illustration of how much water would be over the Canal area if Earth were a sphere. In my post I explain the Canal at center would be under 131’ of saltwater.  I didn’t know I had to spell it out for some.

I also would like to  make another point.

If Earth were a sphere and the land curved with the sphere, Gatun lake would have already been at least 301’ or more (instead of at 85’) from the underground plane connecting the oceans (at 0’ elevation) as seen from Macarios' drawing.

Since Earth’s surface was not at curvature of 216’ in reality, it was necessary for Macarios' to make it appear on paper it matched the Globe Earth model through curvature math.  But his method proved he was actually measuring from actually sea level and then moved sea level up to 216’ and placed Gatun 85' higher to match the Globe model.  So yes, if Earth were a sphere, the Panama Canal area would be under 131’ of water because the landmass is below the curvature of a sphere and Gatun is actually only 85' above both oceans and not 301 as can be seen in Macarios' drawing.  Thank goodness it's not a sphere, because a lot of landmass would be underwater. Only mountains and really high hills would exist.

In ref to your post two posts ago - Land is not "level".
Thats why they are shown in ft or m above sea level.
The earth is not a perfectly smooth balloid.
If you want curvature over land it would have to take into accounts hills and valleys and mountains and gorges.
Think a little bit of what youre asking in relation to the actual question your asking.
Are you asking the community to - Use a non uniform surface to determine an average uniform shape.

We will accept defeat when the FEers actually manage defeat.
They are yet to come close.

There are so many issues that FE cannot explain which RE easily explain.
If you want to have REers accept defeat you will need to come up with a consistent FE model which addresses all the issues, rather than having heaps of different models where each model addresses a single issue.
You will also need to ditch the strawmanning and shifting of the burden of proof.

If you wish to assert that the lake is only 85 archaic units above the ocean, rather than sea level then you can provide the measurements which show that. Not just repeatedly stating it or providing a diagram showing elevation above sea level, but the actual measurements used to determine what the elevation is, with all the details.

Otherwise the best you can do is say that the RE side hasn't proven it is 85 archaic units above sea level. That doesn't defeat or disprove the RE side. It just means that one specific piece of information hasn't been sufficiently substantiated on this forum.

Your entire case seems to be complaining about the use of mean sea level rather than a particular imaginary line.
Why should that imaginary line be used rather than any other?
There is literally no justification to use any particular straight line.
This means you could produce loads of different diagrams with loads of different numbers with no justification for the numbers.
So instead mean sea level is used.

As for you cherry picking definitions, it doesn't matter how many there are, if you need to ignore one to make your case, it shows you have no case.

Have you also believe Earth has curvature without a shred of verification? I did, and boy I did not want to accept defeat. I believed what I was told from a child. I was told what to learn, and test on it and accept it because everybody does with no questions asked. Just a few months back I realized nothing in my natural surrounding indicated I lived on a spinning planet hurling through space.  No curvizon, no motion, nothing made me think I lived on a sphere. I said surely someone can verify the flat areas I have been to (Florida) have the curvature as dictated.  You know what I learned? No one has verified the alleged surface curvature anywhere.  They just accepted it as fact without verification.  And here you are talking like my school teacher without any verification of curvature. No thank you. I am not a sheep anymore and don't follow a Global path with ideas of Global warming too.

The Flat Earth movement is expanding rapidly. The Globe Earth community is going to have to come up with some hard facts to keep their followers. Questionable space missions and pictures aren't going to do it anymore. You and they need to prove the foundation of the Globe theory with actually verification of Earth's alleged surface curvature.

Verification?  I hope you understand what that means and how it relates to science.

No, I don't agree. You need to include the curvature and elevation details for the panama Canal like Macarios and I did. And it's Sea curve for you. Use the right geometrical word to describe the line for your theory.

How about you get off the terminology, as yoy choose to use  uncommon terms, and instead just focus on the diagrams in of themsevles.

And those simplfied diagrams remove the clutter of details and focus in on the fact that you seem to not comprehend - top two show round earth will NOT have a 200ft deep bulge of water.

As far as the eye can see to the left, right and center, everyone in this world views a horizontal line where sky meets ocean.

If the earth was flat there wouldn't be a sharp line, it would be a haze.

You also don't see curvature from left to right by eyesight when you are standing on the surface of the earth.  For example, if you take a basketball and hold it in your hand close to your face, you will see still see the curvature of the ball.  This is because the ball is small compared to you.  If you scaled yourself down to the size of a 1mm grain of sand, the earth would still have the circumference of roughly 13 miles.  Scale that further down so earth is the size of a basketball and you being on its surface, you would be so small you wouldn't see the curvature.  Everything would appear flat.

Debunked: "Blue Marble" Photos show a Changing Earth (https://www.metabunk.org/debunked-blue-marble-photos-show-a-changing-earth.t6616/)
But what of the more unusual suggestion that the images are fake, because they show the continents being different sizes. Like many such things, it's all about perspective, and the way our brains work. We look at these images of the Earth, and our brain thinks of it as a flat object. You'd think if you get close to something, then it will get bigger, but not change shape. But this breaks down for three dimensional objects. If you get close to a globe, then you can see less of it, so the visible objects seem a lot bigger relative to the visible disc of the globe. The part of the globe in the middle is also a lot closer to your eye (relative to the edges) so seems bigger, like it's bulging out more than it actually is. You can verify this yourself with a household globe and your eyes (or a camera)

When the camera is just a few inches from the globe, then North America seems to take up nearly all of the hemisphere. But as the camera moves back, then you can see more of the globe, and so the true relative size can be seen.

(https://www.metabunk.org/attachments/near-far-perspective-jpg.20974/)

This explains why South America in the 1967 image (taken 22,000 miles away) looks bigger than South America in the 2015 image (taken 930,000 miles away). But what about the 2002 image? And what about this?

(https://www.metabunk.org/sk/20150725-145612-ltvhf.jpg)

That's "Blue Marble 2012", another composite image, but this time made with the Suomi NPP satellite. Is the difference here because the Suomi satellite at a lower height compared to the Terra satellite from the 2002 images? No, the Suomi satellite at 517 miles, it actually higherthan Terra, at 438 miles. And from either of those altitudes, you'd only be able to see a relatively small part of the Earth.

Remember, the composite images are not real photos, they are stitched together into 3D models, and then images are rendered in the computer. So where is the camera relative to the Earth? It's anywhere you want it to be. Since it's a virtual camera, you can position it anywhere you want, at any altitude, and then draw the view from there. For the 2012 image, they simply moved the virtual camera to a relatively low viewpoint, and then had the computer render the view from there. You can duplicate the exact same effect in Google Earth by zooming out to about 5000 miles eye altitude.

I'll let you read the rest.

It simple means that you simply cannot grasp perspective.

But why mention "Hubble"? Not only is it too close to the earth but there are numerous other reasons that it could not be used for this purpose.

But the Japanese Himawari 8 satellite can and takes at least one photo like this every 10 minutes.

As far as the eye can see to the left, right and center, everyone in this world views a horizontal line where sky meets ocean.  Engineers know water seeks its own level.  It’s the natural dynamics of fluid. So, it’s no wonder why elevations are measured from the surface of the connecting oceans no matter what they claim.

Whoever was the first to teach the circumference of the Earth is basically the established reference point for “Sea Level”  and called a curved geometrical line "level" and without verifying the alleged surface curvature was an idiot. He was intellectually dishonest and didn’t have genuine ethics. He only did so to further his cause through pseudoscience.

You cannot trust using Sea Level to establish a curvature point as taught by those in the Globe community because surface curvature has never be verified by anyone.

Exactly as it should be seen on a huge Globe because on that Globe the distance to a water horizon must be the same distance away all 360° around.

And that circle is being viewed almost edge on so it looks straight.

Yes, these "Engineers know water seeks its own level.  It’s the natural dynamics of fluid" and that "level" is the profile that results in the lowest potential energy.

And that is something else that we Engineers know that you seem quite ignorant of.

That "profile that results in the lowest potential energy." is known as the geoid and is within a hundred metres or so of being a perfect ellipsoid.

And for simple explanations that ellipsoid is near enough to a sphere and so the water conforms to almost a perfect sphere.

Quote from: Plat Terra
Whoever was the first to teach the circumference of the Earth is basically the established reference point for “Sea Level”  and called a curved geometrical line "level" and without verifying the alleged surface curvature was an idiot. He was intellectually dishonest and didn’t have genuine ethics. He only did so to further his cause through pseudoscience.
No, you're the one spreading pseudoscience and you have n basis for your claims that he "was an idiot. He was intellectually dishonest and didn’t have genuine ethics. He only did so to further his cause through pseudoscience."

You've so far demonstrated no real understanding of anything let alone evidence for the earth's being a Globe.

Quote from: Plat Terra
You cannot trust using Sea Level to establish a curvature point as taught by those in the Globe community because surface curvature has never be verified by anyone.
And where did you drag that from, one of you YouTube mates?

The evidence for the Globe, both direct and indirect, has accumulated for over 2000 years. Don't imagine that one such as yourself can hope to overturn it.

There's far more than "curvature" to worry about but everything from an accurate map to the apparent motions of the Sun, moon, planets and stars to get right!

As far as the eye can see to the left, right and center, everyone in this world views a horizontal line where sky meets ocean.  Engineers know water seeks its own level.  It’s the natural dynamics of fluid. So, it’s no wonder why elevations are measured from the surface of the connecting oceans no matter what they claim.

Whoever was the first to teach the circumference of the Earth is basically the established reference point for “Sea Level”  and called a curved geometrical line "level" and without verifying the alleged surface curvature was an idiot. He was intellectually dishonest and didn’t have genuine ethics. He only did so to further his cause through pseudoscience.

Curvature has been measured by surveyors for centuries. As a more modern example, you might want to take the issue up with CalTech & MIT. They constructed a massive marvel of engineering called LIGO:

LIGO - A Gravitational-Wave Interferometer
LIGO currently consists of two interferometers, each with two 4 km (2.5 mile) long arms arranged in the shape of an “L”. These instruments act as 'antennae' to detect gravitational waves.

(https://i.imgur.com/P9jY6ib.jpg?1)

According to them, the precision in construction was of the utmost importance. So much so that ‘level’ would not work, they had to account for earth’s curvature:

"Beam Tube Installation

LIGO's arms are long enough that the curvature of the Earth itself was a complicating factor when installing the vacuum tubes. It wasn’t enough for LIGO’s civil engineers to smooth a  level path and assemble each arm’s tubes in a straight line. To ensure a perfectly level beam path, the Earth’s curvature (more than a vertical meter over the length of each arm) was countered by GPS-assisted earth-moving and high-precision concrete work."

Debunked: "Blue Marble" Photos show a Changing Earth (https://www.metabunk.org/debunked-blue-marble-photos-show-a-changing-earth.t6616/)
But what of the more unusual suggestion that the images are fake, because they show the continents being different sizes. Like many such things, it's all about perspective, and the way our brains work. We look at these images of the Earth, and our brain thinks of it as a flat object. You'd think if you get close to something, then it will get bigger, but not change shape. But this breaks down for three dimensional objects. If you get close to a globe, then you can see less of it, so the visible objects seem a lot bigger relative to the visible disc of the globe. The part of the globe in the middle is also a lot closer to your eye (relative to the edges) so seems bigger, like it's bulging out more than it actually is. You can verify this yourself with a household globe and your eyes (or a camera)

When the camera is just a few inches from the globe, then North America seems to take up nearly all of the hemisphere. But as the camera moves back, then you can see more of the globe, and so the true relative size can be seen.

(https://www.metabunk.org/attachments/near-far-perspective-jpg.20974/)

This explains why South America in the 1967 image (taken 22,000 miles away) looks bigger than South America in the 2015 image (taken 930,000 miles away). But what about the 2002 image? And what about this?

(https://www.metabunk.org/sk/20150725-145612-ltvhf.jpg)

That's "Blue Marble 2012", another composite image, but this time made with the Suomi NPP satellite. Is the difference here because the Suomi satellite at a lower height compared to the Terra satellite from the 2002 images? No, the Suomi satellite at 517 miles, it actually higherthan Terra, at 438 miles. And from either of those altitudes, you'd only be able to see a relatively small part of the Earth.

Remember, the composite images are not real photos, they are stitched together into 3D models, and then images are rendered in the computer. So where is the camera relative to the Earth? It's anywhere you want it to be. Since it's a virtual camera, you can position it anywhere you want, at any altitude, and then draw the view from there. For the 2012 image, they simply moved the virtual camera to a relatively low viewpoint, and then had the computer render the view from there. You can duplicate the exact same effect in Google Earth by zooming out to about 5000 miles eye altitude.

I'll let you read the rest.

Quote from: Plat Terra
NASA get's billions of dollars and the landmass are a different size every year and they allegedly have Hubble. Just as I said, the pictures are questionable.
But the landmass being a different size every year does not mean in any way, shape or form mean that "the pictures are questionable"!
It simple means that you simply cannot grasp perspective.

But why mention "Hubble"? Not only is it too close to the earth but there are numerous other reasons that it could not be used for this purpose.

But the Japanese Himawari 8 satellite can and takes at least one photo like this every 10 minutes.

Again, your pictures are deceptive. Those Globe Model pictures were not crafted through composites and CGI. Again, the pictures are questionable.

Your empty claim, "Again, your pictures are deceptive" is just meaningless words. Why are the "deceptive".
NASA explains the source of each one so where is the deception?

But NASA is by no means the only source of such photos:

Your flat earth gurus would have you believe that all planes that fly east, are curving to the left, while all planes that fly west, are curving to the right. Bullshit.

Have you also believe Earth has curvature without a shred of verification?
Ignoring that it has been verified wont help your case.
The curvature of Earth has been varied in so many ways it isn't funny.
You rejecting them all as fake wont help your case.

All you are really saying is that YOU haven't verified the curvature of Earth.

As for your image, good job showing you have no idea how photograph works, and how when you take a picture of a ball, the amount of the ball you can see will vary depending upon your distance from it. That means that a visible object will appear to take up a different portion of the total "circle" depending upon how far away you are.

You have already been given a link to an example showing that:
https://www.metabunk.org/sk/globe_comparison_with_distance.jpg

And no, appealing to CGI or composites wont help you. The images which actually are composites were presented as such, and there are plenty of non-composite images.
And the process of making a composite image of a round surface like that of Earth is to make a model, stitch the images together on the model, and then use a virtual camera to take a virtual photo of that model.

So the fact that what you are complaining about happens in reality and can easily be verified shows your argument is pure garbage.
The fact that you seem to cling to it shows your position is indefensible.

If FE is going to gain credibility it will need top stop with these pathetic arguments, stop trying to refute the globe, and starting working on a unified model which can actually explain reality.

Now care to address what I have said?

As far as the eye can see to the left, right and center, everyone in this world views a horizontal line where sky meets ocean
You mean a circle that goes all around them. It clearly isn't a line as it isn't only in one direction.

Engineers know water seeks its own level.
Yes, level, not flat.
No one (at least no one that I know of) says that water seeks its own flat.

It’s the natural dynamics of fluid.
Yes, adopting an equipotential surface, regardless of the conditions, not just magically being flat.
The effects of surface tension and interaction with other surfaces can result in it being concave or convex.
Motion can also effect it.

Water doesn't magically find its own flat. All it does is adopt an equipotential surface.
If the surface wasn't equipotential, then the high energy section will move towards the low energy section to lose energy.

How would I know what two points you seek elevations above MSL?

You could look at the NAD88. Geodetic surveying has been going on for 150 years or so. The next one will be the NAD22 when it is complete. There are topo maps made with excruciating levels of detail.

You could look into great circle routes of long haul flights and shipping. There's a reason why they use great circles, not rhumb lines. Look it up. Every great circle route is 'verified' every time it is taken.

A surveyor by the name of Bourdaloue would disagree and verified the curvature for the Suez Canal project back in the 1850's. His predecessor, LePere, had erroneously surveyed and stated the Med was 9 meters above the Red. That stalled the project for some 50 years. Bourdaloue came along and being one of the fathers of "Orthometric Levelling", determined that the difference was actually negligible. He performed his survey from end to end.

What is Orthometric Levelling in surveyor parlance? It is defined by determining the orthometric height of a point. It is the distance H along a plumb line from the point to a reference height. When the reference height is a geoid model, orthometric height is for practical purposes "height above sea level".

In order to determine the true height of the Med versus the Red and all points in between, Orthometric Levelling surveying was performed and verified.

Globe

Have you verified the alleged surface curvature of this Earth to use its alleged circumference as a reference point for sea curve anywhere and for a Globe? If not, why?
Science does not require me to preform every experiment.
Also it’s not proper to answer a question with a question.

It’s proper to know that the person who is trying to teach me has verified the foundation of their belief otherwise what good is their information? I don’t want to be led along blindly. However, if you have, I am willing to learn more and answer your questions. Verification is good science for such a belief as a Globe Earth.
You clearly don’t want to learn anything.

I like a lot of people have seen thing disappear behind the horizon. This is evidence for a round earth.

Yeah and the legs of this man and woman have also disappeared behind the curve. I saw it myself! It's true. Please believe me!

Why should sea level be measured from a mine shaft?

Which sea level? Flat Earth or Globe?

The measured one, whichever it is.

And measures show it curves.

Identification matters.

You could already identify it yourself.
The curved one was measured in reality, the flat one exists in Jeranism's wishes.

Science proves water seeks it's own level through experimentation. Two bodies of water being joined together through any form at surface or below will equalize and have the same horizontal surface and not curve at any point.  If you disagree, I then challenge you to actually verify the water contained in the Suez Canal curves with a Globe Earth's circumference and is not below the grade of the curve and is not level as experimentation proves.   

A surveyor by the name of Bourdaloue would disagree and verified the curvature for the Suez Canal project back in the 1850's. His predecessor, LePere, had erroneously surveyed and stated the Med was 9 meters above the Red. That stalled the project for some 50 years. Bourdaloue came along and being one of the fathers of "Orthometric Levelling", determined that the difference was actually negligible. He performed his survey from end to end.

What is Orthometric Levelling in surveyor parlance? It is defined by determining the orthometric height of a point. It is the distance H along a plumb line from the point to a reference height. When the reference height is a geoid model, orthometric height is for practical purposes "height above sea level".

In order to determine the true height of the Med versus the Red and all points in between, Orthometric Levelling surveying was performed and verified.

Mirages (atmospheric refractive phenomena) can and do apply to boats going over a curve under certain, well defined conditions.  The trick is to understand what those conditions are and how they apply.

Actually, it's your claim. You should provide some actual evidence to support it. So far, you just keep creating memes with incorrect notions about various models and with flawed logic. I already showed you that the CalTech & MIT effort to construct LIGO had to take earth's curvature into account. Perhaps in your limited understanding that particular site is the only place where a spheroid earth is relevant.

If you expected them to have verified it all themselves, then science teachers would have to spend their entire lives going out verifying each piece of science before being able to teach and then no one would ever be a science teacher.

Stop lying.
It has already been explained repeatedly that that is not the case. Level does not always mean flat.

If you wish to assert such nonsense the burden of proof is on you to show that water in large bodies is flat, not curved.

Now, do you have any evidence to support your claims, or are you only capable of shifting the burden of proof and ignoring the evidence provided?

You could chose to measure in a range of conditions to factor out weather effects.

Take a sample.

Quite.  As per topic title, I won’t be accepting defeat on grounds of flat earthers unable to understand things like gravity or refraction.

First of all, the Suez Canal was surveyed 150 years ago with verified orthometric leveling to ensure an even sea level transition between the Red and the Med. If you would like to re-verify it, research and/or go out and survey it yourself.

Secondly, I'm tired of seeing ye olde skunk bay image as proof of anything. It's 5 miles across the bay. What would you expect as a curve in 5 miles? It's a couple of feet. And no one has ever said, "Oh look over there, 5 miles, across skunk bay, the shoreline is over the horizon..." No one. That doesn't even make sense. So what if miraging appears in a time lapse. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. So what? Ridiculous.

Thirdly, where did you dig up, "Curved surfaces do not create mirages"? Did you just make that up?

Lastly, learn the models. Including your own. You have zero idea what you are even arguing against. You've shown, time and time again, from your "Shadow Experiments" memes to your Canal/Curve memes that you have no clue how any of the models work. And you resort to making up things, like new phrases for 'sea level' and such. Do at least a smidge of research and bone up on logic.

You do realize there is 16' drop in curvature at 5 miles? And do you see how much of the shoreline view is blocked?

I learned it through observation while driving over hilly roads.  In between each hill a mirage can be observed at the surface only if the surface is flat to the next curve and rising hill. There is no mirage over the curved areas of the road. And because superior mirages are horizontal.

The curvature of Earth has been verified, countless times.

Yes, anyone can look a large body of water such as a ocean and see a curve? No, they see a horizontal (flat straight) line where sky meets ocean.
No, they see a circle, which goes all around.
If they use an accurate measuring device, they see that this circle is below them, with an angle of dip as expected for a RE.

There is nothing in our natural surroundings reveal Earth is a sphere spinning 1000 MPH and hurling through space.
Except the horizon, and the behaviour of the horizon and objects near it, and the apparent motion of stars.
And then there are plenty of instruments for accurately measuring it.
You not liking that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

What there is nothing of is any indication that Earth is a flat, motionless plane.

You do realize there is 16' drop in curvature at 5 miles?
And how high was the camera?

What you actually need to do is use the height of the camera to determine the distance to the horizon, and then use the remaining distance to determine how much should be hidden.

And do you see how much of the shoreline view is blocked?
In which image?
Is the first image the one without distortion, with the shoreline visible, and then the second one has atmospheric effects obscuring the horizon?
Or is the second image the one without significant distortion, with the first one allowing more to be visible due to refraction?

I learned it through observation while driving over hilly roads.
So you assumed it based upon incomplete observations.
You can't use examples of mirages occurring in one location to conclude they can't form in another.
Nor can you use the simple absence of them in one location to confirm that they can't form there.

That would be like saying because I don't see a mirage over a flat table, they can't form on flat surfaces.
Or because I have only seen them in a particular location on Earth, that that one location is the only place they can form.
There is nothing rational or scientific about that.

What you actually need to do is focus on how mirages form.

What you actually need to do is use the height of the camera to determine the distance to the horizon, and then use the remaining distance to determine how much should be hidden.

And do you see how much of the shoreline view is blocked?
In which image?
Is the first image the one without distortion, with the shoreline visible, and then the second one has atmospheric effects obscuring the horizon?
Or is the second image the one without significant distortion, with the first one allowing more to be visible due to refraction?

I learned it through observation while driving over hilly roads.
So you assumed it based upon incomplete observations.
You can't use examples of mirages occurring in one location to conclude they can't form in another.
Nor can you use the simple absence of them in one location to confirm that they can't form there.



Even on a infinite Plane we can only see in a circle. Optics can only see in the radius of a circle. The farthest we can see is straight ahead, anything left to right is pulled back.  And does not mean we live on a sphere.  If we lived on a sphere the horizon would curve from center left to right, but it doesn’t even at balloon heights of 100,000’plus and the Red bull Jump. What does he see out the opened hatch?

Looks like it could be re-tried here on the northern half of the canal as it seems quite straight - If ship bottom dips below the horizon, the earth is curving.

But then if you think about it, does it even have to be a canal?

All fine and good. But your sig says, "The Globe community is incapable of verifying Earth has the curvature calculated through experiment or claimed by anyone. They can measure a band of helium but they can’t actually measure and verify the dictated curvature of any landmass or canal. Why not?"

And we have shown that the curve has and is measured and a factor. However, you can't actually measure and verify the distance from Miami to Manhattan on a flat earth? Why not?

For an infinite plane, the horizon should be a blur at eye level.
The fact that it isn't at eye level means we are on a sphere.

On a perfect sphere the horizon would be circle centred on a point below you.
It would have the same angle of dip all around.
It would not curve from the centre, as the centre is below you, not on the horizon.
The perimeter of a circle has no centre.

A balloon at a height of 100 000 archaic units is only 0.5% of the radius above the sphere.
The horizon would be at a distance of roughly 387 archaic units or roughly 2 million archaic units.
That means you are only roughly 4.9% of the radius of the circle above the circle (note, this circle is the horizon).
That would be like getting a hula hoop with a diameter of 1 m, and looking at it from 2 cm above it.
If you are only viewing a tiny angle of this circle, it will appear pretty much as a straight line.

Those who come here seeking truth need to know that no one in the Globe Community has ever verified the claim Earth has the surface curvature in relation to a 3959 mile radius.
Expressing the same lie in another way wont help you.
The curvature of Earth has been verified, countless times.

Yes, anyone can look a large body of water such as a ocean and see a curve? No, they see a horizontal (flat straight) line where sky meets ocean.
No, they see a circle, which goes all around.
If they use an accurate measuring device, they see that this circle is below them, with an angle of dip as expected for a RE.

There is nothing in our natural surroundings reveal Earth is a sphere spinning 1000 MPH and hurling through space.
Except the horizon, and the behaviour of the horizon and objects near it, and the apparent motion of stars.
And then there are plenty of instruments for accurately measuring it.
You not liking that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

the humor is in how desperate you are and how much you just ignore anything inconvenient for your predetermined conclusions. The humor is in how much you don't understand about the subject you argue against. That you make claims like the horizon should curve from "center left to right" proves that. The humor is how much you get wrong in nearly every post. The humor is in how you proposed multiple supposed experiments to prove the Earth flat and ASSUMED the results when you hadn't bothered to do a single one. I'm betting you still haven't bothered to read the link I provided before regarding the Earth pics and the difference in the apparent size of landmasses. You're a joke.

When will RE Community Accept Defeat?

Both the coastlines of Atlantic and Pacific are at 0' Sea level and both are 3,962 miles from Earths alleged center.
The distance between Oceans with the Panama Canal in-between is about 36 Miles.
The center of Panama Canal is about 18 miles from the coast on Gatun Lake and is 85’ above each Ocean shoreline.
The drop in curvature at 18 miles is 216’.  That places Earth’s curvature at 216’ (3962 miles from center of Earth) feet above each coastline at center.
That also places Gatun Lake 131’ below Earths alleged 3962 mile radius marker.
That means if Earth were a Globe, the Panama Canal could not exist because Gatun Lake would be under 131’ of sea water at 18 miles from the Coast. The Canal exists because water does not curve.

It’s that simple, we won. We really never lost. Earth Remains a flat Plane with mountains, hills and valleys and sea level bodies of water.

But the real question is, when is the Globe community going to accept defeat?

NASA can't help them, fake pictures and fake moon landings cannot rescue them. 

No argument they have is going to magically make the oceans curve and flood the Panama Canal, no matter what they say or do.  It’s not going to happen.  After reading this if one continues to defend a Globe Earth theory, they are just professional deniers who really don’t care for truth.

(https://i.imgur.com/soROEsV.jpg)

Hey, I just registered here and followed this discussion.. there is one simple point you are missing:

The 216' that you describe are just the height that is hidden behind the curvature FROM SIGHT.. just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's under water like Atlantis..

It's a shame, your knowledge of this is so little..

But on a sphere of 12740 km diameter just how much should the horizon curve from center left to right? That is the  important question.

And even Red Bull's 39 km is only 0.3% of the diameter of the earth so you tell us just how much.
You say "but it doesn’t even at balloon heights of 100,000’ plus and the Red bull Jump".

At 3 miles the row boat would be on the horizon. Would you care to show that it wouldn't be?
By 5 miles it would be pretty much hidden but also very very small.

Exactly like this:

The above photo was taken from about 2 m above water level and just left of centre there is a navigation beacon that is 2.6 km away.

If the earth were flat why is there no water visible past that beacon? Here is that beacon from a lower height and with a long telephoto lens:

I took that photo and I know for certain that the navigation beacon in  photos is only 2.6 km from the beach.

Stop dishonestly switching units.
How about we do it with the same units?
There is a 6 archaic unit drop in curvature over a distance of 31680 archaic units. As a percentage that is 0.02 %.
That is tiny.
Over a much large distance of 95040 archaic units there is only a drop of 216 archaic units. That is 0.2 %
Again, THAT IS TINY.

It looks flat and huge because it is. Observation is always good science.
No, the horizon is flat, as you would expect for a RE, but the Earth itself is not and does not look flat.

Observation is a key part of good science. Ignoring observations which show you are wrong is not. Dismissing them as fake is not.

Compared with the other photo I posted with it, yes. And did you notice the horizon Felix sees is at eye level?
Based upon what?
I see a line in a photo, with no indication of what angle the camera was pointed out.
Claiming it is at eye level is an outright lie.
Plenty of experiments have shown the horizon is not at eye level.
Here is a nice simple picture showing that, with an explanation of the apparatus:
(https://flatearth.ws/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/water-level-horizon.jpg)

If you would like to present some evidence that the horizon is always at eye level instead of the repeatedly observed below eye level, go ahead.
Just note that a picture without any reference doesn't help at all.
Is Polaris at eye level because it is in the centre?

The width of the United States is more than twice as long as the radius of your alleged Globe Earth Earth.
No it's not!
The west to east width of the contiguous United States is 2,680 miles (4,313 km) and the (average) radius of the earth is 3959 miles (6,371 km).
Your ignorance of well known facts is so typical of flat-earthers.

By the way what is the width of your flat earth and what is the path of your sun?

Quote from: Plat Terra
Think about that with the phrase "Is a small world".
Sure, it's a phrase recognising that Global air travel makes the earth seem much smaller than it used to. What of it?

Well, sue me for a typo. I meant twice as much. You just like to complain when you can.

Like is said, it does not matter because you are incapable of verifying the alleged surface curvature of any landmass or canal, because it's not there to measure up. How does that feel?

The drop due to curvature doesn't make it below level. It is following level, so it doesn't mean water would magically flow.

You have previously stated that you accept that with a RE the water would follow the curve, but then you go post nonsense claiming that it can't flood because it should all flow downhill because of the curve.

Why are you avoiding the question? We've been talking about distances and the validity and verification of such and you claim curvature has never been verified which means distances have never been verified.  You ask us for a lot of information and a lot has been given so just answer this simple question: So, to show you know a thing or two about distances and the validity of such, why don't you tell all of us how far is it from San Francisco to Boston?

You certainly need to "take a breath and a break and think about a few things"!

When can you learn a little about gravity on the Globe? Are you totally incapable of understanding anything that you've been told?

The oceans conform to the surface of the Globe and the Mean Sea Level essentially defines the shape of the earth.
Then the heights of the land are measured above that sea-level. So floods are no different from what you imagine on your fictitious flat earth.

You failure to understand this does affect the reality of anything in the slightest.

Any luck on that width of your fictitious flat earth or working out the path of your sun that explains what anyone can easily see?

Remember that you asked us "When will RE Community Accept Defeat?"
Well, until you explain all the points raised there's not the faintest chance of our accepting defeat - it ain't going o happen.

Continually posting miles of meaningless memes does your case no good at all!

It’s proper to know that the person who is trying to teach me has verified the foundation of their belief otherwise what good is their information?
They don't need to verify it with their own measurements.
They just need to know the evidence for it.

If you expected them to have verified it all themselves, then science teachers would have to spend their entire lives going out verifying each piece of science before being able to teach and then no one would ever be a science teacher.

Do you demand the same ridiculous standards for all other aspects of science, or just the ones you reject without cause?

Two bodies of water being joined together through any form at surface or below will equalize and have the same horizontal surface and not curve at any point.
Stop lying.
It has already been explained repeatedly that that is not the case. Level does not always mean flat.

If you wish to assert such nonsense the burden of proof is on you to show that water in large bodies is flat, not curved.

Now, do you have any evidence to support your claims, or are you only capable of shifting the burden of proof and ignoring the evidence provided?

I will express it in another way.
Those who come here seeking truth need to know that no one in the Globe Community has ever verified the claim Earth has the surface curvature in relation to a 3959 mile radius. And yet everyone follows it blindly, without any verification. This is why I said “you.”

Truth seekers need to know people accept the Globe Earth theory in the same manner and way as fairytales, gossip and hearsay is accepted and passed down throughout history and through agenda driven media and Elites. 

The Globe Earth theory is also accepted in the same manner as all traditions passed down through history right or wrong, such as political affiliation, membership into a club and other . It is accepted because of traditions without question.

Soon, if not all ready, you, your children  and grandchildren will believe in more than two-genders also, not because it’s true and has been verified, but because it’s the way of mainstream. You probable already believe in global warming hoax too, right?

Yes, anyone can look a large body of water such as a ocean and see a curve? No, they see a horizontal (flat straight) line where sky meets ocean. There is nothing in our natural surroundings reveal Earth is a sphere spinning 1000 MPH and hurling through space. No motion, no turbulence and nothing curved at a distance.

So you better verify that surface curvature and make sure it conforms to a sphere as claimed, because your numbers are dwindling.

Plata needs to go back to school and learn units.

2.When standing on a ball.
Look left, look right.
The plane of sight of the horizon is a level line because it is the same distance to your eyeball all around.
Whats not the same, is the sectional line of sight going away from you as this line folows the edge of the ball.

3.a.Your floods misconceptipn can be moved to another thread as it only gives you further chances to dodge and redirect.

3.b.Your gravity teaser is a pathetic attempt to dodgr and redirect.

4.How far is san fran to boston?
I woud like to know what stash is on about.

5.quit complaiinng about mirages and take multiple photos over multiple days and record the weather for time, dtybulb, wetbulb.   No one stopping you so quit your complaining.   Its called science.   Its called observation.    I believe your patronizingly stated it several timss now.

If we lived on a sphere the horizon would curve from center left to right, but it doesn’t even at balloon heights of 100,000’plus and the Red bull Jump.
But on a sphere of 12740 km diameter just how much should the horizon curve from center left to right? That is the  important question.

And even Red Bull's 39 km is only 0.3% of the diameter of the earth so you tell us just how much.
You say "but it doesn’t even at balloon heights of 100,000’ plus and the Red bull Jump".

Can you honestly claim to see enough of the horizon in you Felix Baumgartner's photo to claim that the horizon is flat?
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/15buep9n14btb2s/Plat%20Terra%20-%20Red%20Bull%20-%20crop.jpg?dl=1)
Of course you can't!
 
Compared with the other photo I posted with it, yes. And did you notice the horizon Felix sees is at eye level?

(https://i.imgur.com/TXOO6zo.jpg)
How can you tell it is at "eye level" and not just the camera is positioned to make it look that way?  Have you done ANY tests of your own?

This guy did and showed the horizon is below eye level. You could do the same or get a theolodite app for your phone. I'm betting you won't though.

Lol! Anyone can look out over the ocean and potentially see the effect of the curve with ships for example,  disappearing bottom first (the way you would expect on a spherical planet).

The movement of the sun, moon, and stars are in our natural environment and reveal the earth is spinning 1000mph. Earths seasons are also part of our natural environment and reveal our planet is hurtling through space in it's eliptical orbit around the sun.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe you don't believe in Santa, the tooth fairy, or the Easter bunny.

So, If I can't prove curvature no one can.
Don't we love ourselves! Chronic case of the dreaded Dunning-Kruger Syndrome noted!

Quote from: Plat Terra
It's really a simple issue and a no brainer and I am no one special. 
You seem a classic case of "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing".
You will find that there's far more to "proving the flat" than a few mistaken "thought experiments".
In addition you must come up with a workable "flat earth model" that explains all the observations we can make on the earth and by astronomy.

I've tried to spell put a few but you dismiss all out-of-hand.

Quote from: Plat Terra
BTW, we don't live in a vacuum.
I didn't say that we did but there are plenty of large and small vacuum chambers good enough to test this sort of thing.
BTW In case it crops up:
          Neither density nor relative density can, on their own, cause forces and neither has direction
          but gravity does cause forces and gravity does have direction.

Again, nothing you bring up matters or will magically make landmass conform to a sphere.
Sorry, but that is what gravitation has done with the Sun, Earth, all the other planets and the minor planets - it has made them all almost spherical.

And the ellipticit depends on their mass and how fast the spin.

But how many times must you be told that your topic is "When will RE Community Accept Defeat?"
That will not happen until you have a flat earth model the fits all observations on earth and in the sky - the paths of the Sun, moon and other planets.

RE model is a well established model that works and is verifiable. If you want to replace with something else, start by producing an alternative model that works and is at least as good as the RE model in explaining and predicting the real world.

The infinite plane model of yours just doesn't work, you have nothing to back it, you have provided nothing, just a few memes and some unintended humor.

You pretend to delete centuries of scientific progress and replace it with absolutely nothing, just some sort of religious fundamentalism. Sorry but that doesn't work.

Title: Re: When will RE Community Accept Defeat?
Post by: Macarios on August 03, 2019, 10:37:27 AM
RE community will accept defeat when the Earth some day really becomes flat.
Considering the observations, measurements, laws of physics, facts and figures, it is highly unlikely that it will happen in any near or far future.

But these things are not about "victory" and "defeat".

When we stand on the surface the line going along the horizon all around us looks flat because the drop is equal and too small wherever you look.
But any line going on the surface from observer towards the horizon and beyond is clearly curving downwards and after the horizon can't be seen any more.
If the Earth was flat that line would be visible for much farther than now.

Now, how high you have to be to see the horizon curved (if we exclude refraction)?
From an altitude of 1.8 m the distance to horizon is 4.8 km.
The circumference of the horizon is 30.16 km.
If we assume the viewing angle of 60 degrees, then the observed part of the horizon is an arc of approx. 5.026 km with cord of 4.8 km.
This arc has height of 643 m.
From the distance of 4800 meters and altitude of 1.8 meters that height is seen under the angle of 0.0221 degrees.
It is 89.9779 degrees away from the perpendicular view.
Cosine of 89.9779 degrees is 0.000386 and those 643 meters look like 0.248 meters (say 0.25).

The bulge of 25 centimeters surely can not be visible on the line 4800 meters long.
Take a high resolution photo of such horizon, make it 4800 pixels wide, and the curvature would have to be one quarter of a pixel.

On a Flat Earth horizon would seem flat as well, but surely not just 4.8 kilometers away from observer.

So, from 1.8 meters we can't see the curve.
Can we see it from 10 000 meters?

Horizon distance is 357 km, circumference 2243 km, 60 degrees arc length is 374 km, arc width 357 km.
Arc height 47.83 km, seen under the angle of 88.4 degrees away from perpendicular view, appears like 1.33 km.

3 x 357 = 1071
3 x 1.33 = 4.
So, if we make image 1071 piels wide, the bulge would be 4 pixels.
Probably not enough to see with naked eye, but if we keep the height and compress the width, the bulge will be visible.

Like in the image below.

The left wide part is 1071 pixels wide image of a dawn from 10 000 meters. Looks pretty flat.
The right, narrow part is the same image compressed horizontally to 5% of the original width.
You can see how the middle of the horizon bulges just a bit.

NASA claims the ISS orbits the Earth once every 90 minutes and experiences a sunrise or a sunset about every 45 minutes. But in the following video Earth makes several rotations during a time-lapse Sunrise and Sunset, but it’s really a Sunset to Sunrise.

Another fishy thing about this video is the ISS never passes between Earth and Sun during the time-lapse video. It’s as if it stopped in mid orbit to take a video of a moving Sun.

It makes me wonder if the video was taken from some type of high altitude stationary equipment and what we are actually seeing is a Flat Earth Sun rotating clockwise over a CGI implemented rotating Earth.  Interesting to watch and think about.



Moving on to the ISS and 'fake NASA'. Great. Yes, that's exactly what you see - a video was taken from some type of high altitude stationary equipment and what we are actually seeing is a Flat Earth Sun rotating clockwise over a CGI implemented rotating Earth. All perpetrated by the Illuminati to benefit  those of us who are high ranking in the Masonic lodge. Well done, you've exposed us.

Now, back to the matter at hand and quit deflecting and evading:

Do you really think a tennis ball on a kitchen counter is a realistic analog for showing how gravity acts on a sphere??

Also, the surface of the globe is NOT "downhill in all directions", that is simply preposterous. Gravity attracts towards the center of a body of mass. In this case, the center of the Earth. Anywhere you stand on the Earth, "level" is perpendicular to a line passing through that center of mass.

I hope you are not thinking that the ISS is hanging from a pole. Here's a description of the video you posted:

Sunrise and Sunset around Summer Solstice
This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 31 on board the International Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken from June 6, 2012 from 04:42:11 to 05:41:16 GMT, on a pass from the Southern Ocean, south of Tasmania, to western Africa, over northern Mali. During this video, the ISS makes an almost complete orbit around the Earth while pointing the camera towards the Northern Hemisphere around the Summer Solstice. Throughout this pass, the sun begins to set througth the solar panels on the ISS and barely touches the edge of the Earth before it begins to rise again. During the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, latitudes above approximately 67 degrees receive 24 hours of daylight.

How about you stop acting like a broken record and try bringing up something new, or actually substantiating your claims.

So far all you have done is show you have not obtained any evidence of Earth's curvature yourself and are willing to blatantly misrepresent what the RE position is and what REers claim.

You haven't even begun to defeat the RE model of the Earth.

As I said before, you already accepted that for a RE, the water level would follow the curve.
That "drop" you are appealing to is the curve, so the water wouldn't flow towards that drop.
So you have already rejected the argument you present.
So why present it?
Do you just want to show everyone that you do not care about honestly presenting the RE model and instead you are happy to use whatever lies you can to try and pretend there is a problem?

You have a working RE model with water that sticks to the surface as it spins?
A model doesn't need to be physical.
Any physical model of a RE, which would behave with the same laws of physics would need to be in free fall outside the Roche limit of any more significant body.

That means a small ball being held on Earth CANNOT be an accurate physical model of Earth.

We have a model based upon the laws of physics which explains how things work on a RE.
You can put various things in and get things out.
For example, you can put in a location and time, and get the apparent position to celestial objects.
You can put in 2 different locations and find the distance between them.
We can explain why water sticks to Earth.
And so on.

I am not deleting any part of history that matters. In-fact, history is on my side.
That's religion you are appealing to, not history.

But in the following video Earth makes several rotations during a time-lapse Sunrise and Sunset, but it’s really a Sunset to Sunrise.
That is just another baseless claim of yours.
How are you determining ho many times Earth rotates during this timelapse?

Another fishy thing about this video is the ISS never passes between Earth and Sun during the time-lapse video.
You mean it doesn't show a full day and doesn't have the ISS pass below the sun.
Who cares?
There is nothing fishy about that.

But it is down hill in all directions at the surface (circumference) of a sphere. I am stating a fact.
No, you are stating a blatant lie, as you already accepted.
Downhill means going to a lower elevation, not simply following the curve.
The "drop" you refer to is following the curve, not going to a lower elevation.
Going sideways and following the curve is not going downhill.

Would you be able to flood any part of a flat landmass that's near or at the sea flat if it adjoins an ocean?

Like I said, the exact same issues would arise for a FE and a RE.
The only way in which RE is different is the curvature, which would have no impact on the water level and thus it is either extremely dishonest or extremely ignorant to bring it up as part of your argument, especially as you have already refuted it.

All you need to flood it is for more water to be going there than will leave.

I know this might surprise you, but water doesn't instantly find its level.
It takes time.

If it did it instantly, there would be no rivers, as all the water would have instantly run out.

You can't flood any part of a spherical landmass that’s near or at Sea Curve if it adjoins an Ocean, unless you encircle a retaining wall before the flood begins. Please don’t be mad at me for another hole found in the Globe Earth model. It’s just common sense.

Your theoretical Earth does not fit this current world. That's a major problem for the Globe Community. Of course flooding as described is going to be different between worlds. One has a plane surface and the other a spherical surface.

You sure seem to have plenty of time to repeat the same nonsense.
It think the problem is that you lack the common sense needed to give such a lesson.

Your theoretical Earth does not fit this current world.
You are yet to provide a single instance of it not fitting.
That is a problem for the FE community, not the real earth community.

Of course flooding as described is going to be different between worlds. One has a plane surface and the other a spherical surface.
The only difference is in the shape of the surface.
For a hypothetical flat planet, you have water wanting to adopt a flat surface and elevation measured relative to this flat surface.
If water is on land near the ocean with a slight elevation above the flat surface it will want to run down into the ocean, preventing flooding. But if more water is coming in than can run off, it will still flood.
For a hypothetical (or real) round planet, you have water wanting to adopt a round surface and elevation measured relative to this round surface.
If water is on land near the ocean with a slight elevation above the flat surface it will want to run down into the ocean, preventing flooding. But if more water is coming in than can run off, it will still flood.

Notice how other than the shape of the surface that the water wants to adopt, it is exactly the same.
Simple common sense.

The Coastal regions on this Earth at, near or below sea level flood because of depression. It's really that simply. Your theory does not allow coastal depression because of a imaginary radius.

It floods because there is no spherical shape to the land.

Your beloved Gravity, and if you have depression near the coast it would all be under the Oceans curve, because it's below the grade. You can't logically claim both depressed and curved coastal areas and shorelines.  Your Globe model is shrinking in blunders one right after another.

It is quite simple:
In general (i.e. when you ignore the variations) Earth's surface is an oblate spheroid.
However at the small scale (compared to Earth) there are variations in the surface features. Some regions will be higher than the oblate spheroid, others will be lower.

There is no problem with that.

What you are saying now is akin to someone saying Earth can't be flat because there are mountains. You can't have Earth be both flat and with mountains.

Your oblate spheroid won't have depressions in the bulge areas in the coastal regions, at, near or below sea curve or in the higher areas. It will all be curved. But' that's not the case is it?  That's even more of a problem for the Globe theory. See, the hole just keeps getting bigger.

And the ocean will not flow into any depression near the sea-shore unless that depression is below sea-level and sea-level follows the curve.

I fail to see any problem. Please explain, with a diagram if need be.

How can a round earth have fkat or depressed regoins of land.
We re all stumped.

Buuut... as per jackBs keen insight - a flat earth would have the same problems.
What would a flat problem be?
Do mountains exist?
How could mountains and valleys exist on a supoosed flat plane?
By definition - its flat!
Golly gee
Now we have NO model.

Depressions have to do with the roughness of the earth's spherical surface. Water naturally flows towards the lower areas of the earth's spherical surface forming oceans and lakes. In a spherical earth lower means closer to the center of the earth, not what you are imagining.

I think it's very simple concept to understand. I'm not asking you to believe the earth is a sphere, since you obviously have your reasons to believe in FE, but if you are as smart as you claim you should at least be able to understand it after so many explanations.

And once again a lot of people is answering your drivel about RE, but you fail to provide any answers about your own FE model. Care to tell us how did you verify the earth is an infinite plane?

Depressions, i.e. regions with lower elevations, can work on both the FE and the RE. For a FE they use an imaginary flat line at sea flat for the elevation reference, for the real Earth they use an imaginary curved line at sea level for the elevation reference.

You don't think the earth is globe, you think gravity doesn't exist... that's fine really, I get that, there's people for everything.  I'm asking you what is your alternative model to RE and how did you verify it.

You could start by providing the distance between Boston and San Francisco.

You wrote: RE model is a well established model that works and is verifiable.

You have a working RE model with water that sticks to the surface as it spins? Where? Video please

Verify it please....?

I thought you don't believe in videos, but I have something much better than a video. A livestream of the earth from space:

https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/iss_ustream.html

As you can see the earth is not losing any water.

Now your turn, what do you have?


I did not express it correctly. NASA is a fraud, here is why.  There are three things viewed in the video .

1. A solar panel array
2. A spinning sphere Earth
3. A Sun.

They all three stay in the same alignment from center (seen at sunset) during the entire Sunset to Sunrise event while Earth spins many times and while the ISS almost makes a complete rotation.

 NASA claims the ISS almost completed an orbit during the event. Understanding this, how is it possible for the camera to view all three, (1,2 and 3) in an alignment as expressed, if the ISS almost makes a complete orbit and the Earth rotates more than once?

One of them has to be moved out of the alignment when the ISS almost makes a complete orbit.  Which one should be moved out of the alignment, the Sun or Earth?
And, why doesn’t the Earth’s rotation match the time of a Sunset to Sunrise Event, but spins out of control?

If you nor any others here have a logical answer then  NASA is a Fraud. And learn to say Earth is Flat and NASA faked a spinning Globe Earth with stationary equipment and CGI implementation.

No, the alignment changes dramatically.
The starts above the camera's FOV, and is clearly observed to move.

while Earth spins many times
Again, what are you basing this on?

while the ISS almost makes a complete rotation.
Based upon what?
According to the timestamps it has only been roughly an hour, or ~2/3 of an orbit.
Based upon the position of the sun, it clearly hasn't made a complete orbit.
There is not enough visible of Earth under the clouds to determine where above Earth it is.
There is no basis for any of your claims.

It is quite easy to make a argument about an impossibility that hasn't been demonstrated at all.

You still don't get it, southern Louisiana shorelines are horizontal and can't meet a curved Ocean.
No, you still don't get it (or you do and are just pretending), it works the same on a FE and RE.
The elevations would be the same. And You still can't flood a sphere.

We haven't talked about all the horizontal shorelines
What horizontal shorelines? Is this just another baseless claim of yours?

Careful, Plat Terra, the hole you are digging for yourself is rapidly getting deeper!

The ISS is travelling at about 7.66 km/s (27,600 km/h or 17,100 mph) and it's orbital period is around 92.7 minutes depending on the current altutude.
The surface speed of the earth, even at the equator, is only about 0.460 km/s (1656 km/h or 1029 mph).

So the movement of the earth relative to the ISS is mainly the movement of the ISS not the earth.

By the way, there are plenty more short videos from the ISS at: (https://yt3.ggpht.com/a/AGF-l7-ZOC1ivrmqSHXFCMUzbVga8-2advVGnrU78w=s288-c-k-c0xffffffff-no-rj-mo)NASACrewEarthObs. (https://m.youtube.com/user/NASACrewEarthObs/videos)

Your oblate spheroid won't have depressions in the bulge areas in the coastal regions, at, near or below sea curve or in the higher areas. It will all be curved. But' that's not the case is it?  That's even more of a problem for the Globe theory. See, the hole just keeps getting bigger.
Again, that is just like saying:
Your flat earth won't have depressions in the flat areas in the coastal regions, at, near or below sea flat or in the higher areas. It will all be flat. But' that's not the case is it?  That's even more of a problem for the flat theory. See, the hole just keeps getting bigger.

You still don't get it, southern Louisiana shorelines are horizontal and can't meet a curved Ocean. And You still can't flood a sphere. All of Southerns Louisiana is below the curve that why it floods. We haven't talked about all the horizontal shorelines on this Earth which is not possible with your theory. Horizontal shorelines can't meet a curved ocean.   You can't win, but you are a pro.
On the curved surface of the globe, a point on the surface miles away from another point, will have the same elevation.  And yet, you claim one point would be the top and everything is downhill from there.

You have no argument.  Learn how the globe works.

OR  considering what has been said about the orientation of the Camera and Earths spin, and the ISS is allegedly only 250 miles above the surface, it is impossible to view the Sun over the north pole horizon when it’s on a pass from the Southern Ocean, south of Tasmania, to western Africa, over northern Mali. The ISS wouldn’t be able to view the Sun north over the horizon being that close to Earth being that far south. (FAKE)

You are the one bringing this video to the thread, your are the one claiming the video is fake, then prove your claim. You know the size and position of the earth, you know the orbit of the ISS, you have all the data you need, then provide mathematical proof that the video is fake.

BWT you keep asking lots of questions but you refuse to answer any questions yourself, why? How did you verify the earth is an infinite plane?

Your ISS orbit placement in time is all wrong for the day in question. And the directional rotation of the Earth in the video should be from NE to SW not East to west. But we who seek truth know why it's not, because it's faked. And you defend a fake video.  The hole is deeper and you ignored the point of all the rotation in the video for such a short rotation in real time. Stop wasting my time!

Baby steps Plat, baby steps. Before you jump off over to all things space, let's solve some terrestrial things first. You started this thread with the globe crushing notion regarding the Panama Canal and no evidence of curvature. For some reason you abandoned all of that and spun off to random parts unknown.

Let's get back to basics and back to your OP and premise.

You could start by explaining how you derive distance between two points. How did you derive the distance from the Red to the Med for the Suez Canal? How did you derive the distance from the Pacific to the Atlantic for the Panama Canal? What's the distance between San Francisco and Boston?

Without knowing your distances and how you derive them I'm afraid it's impossible for us to examine any of you claims let alone take them seriously.

I would like to make a correction. I used the wrong words to express my thoughts.

Flat Earths know what the Globe Community believes happens at the Suez. RE believe it follows the curve. I misspoke when I stated I believe that would happen too, but it was in thought of what you guys think or believe happens. But that's not really the case knowing what would actually happen considering your theory of Gravity.

Save your childish, "can I trust you", shenanigans, plats. Why are you questioning this NASA video? Are you concerned it isn't an official NASA video, or the video has been sped up for some purpose, or are you concerned about the movement of the sun in the video? What is it?

I don't see any immediate reason to question it's integrity, as I can easily find thousands of similar iss NASA videos out there on the internet.

Is there something unique about this one you'd like to share with us all?

Fair enough, but it wasn't a statement about NASA it was a video showing water not pouring off of a globe earth which is what you strangely claim would happen. And sure, it's your thread, you can take it anywhere you want, but so can others with a title like, "When will RE Community Accept Defeat?" and as you meander through various topics of ill-informed disinterest.

Now, back to science. Every time you evade the questions your arguments get weaker and weaker. And considering where they started on the 'weakness' scale, well, there's that. So, you could start by explaining how you derive distance between two points. How did you derive the distance from the Red to the Med for the Suez Canal?

Nope your hole is deeper! And all the "rotation" in the video is the ISS moving over the earth NOT rotation.

The track of the ISS is not a straight line as you show but as on the track below.

If you bother to look up the details at  you might learn that:
The Track of the ISS was:
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/ut9vlk69018kz50/ISS%20Track%2020120606%20UTC.jpg?dl=1)

The details of the time, latitude and longitude of every frame are available in a long table that you can download and the most northern point was:
Photo Time GMT
   
Nadir Lat
   
Nadir Lon
   
Sun Azimuth
   
Sun Elevation Angle
05:24:39
   
51.8°
   
-68.4°
   
12°
   
-15°

So at the northermost point to ISS was at 51.8°N and the sun was visible on the surface as shown here:
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/7uurngtkfcxthor/ISS%20Track%2020120606%2005.24.00%20UTC%20Sunmap.jpg?dl=1)

If the ISS was 400 km above the earth the horizon would be almost 20° below it and almost 2300 km away - I fail to see any problem.

Stop wasting everybody's time and learn about the Globe!

Do you believe NASA's ISS video is questionable? I need know know if I can trust your words too. Yes, or no?
No for the reasons given above!

If one ISS video produced by NASA is ever accepted to be questionable
This has nothing to do with the video and is just your paranoia.

The issue isn't us not wanting to question the video, it is with you being unable to show a single issue with it and instead spouting a bunch of baseless nonsense, plenty of which can easily be shown to be false.

Can you actually show any problem with the video?

I do realize the alleged ISS is orbiting faster than Earth’s (fake) rotation and would give the appearance a CW rotation, but that’s not the point. The point is, the rotation of Earth is from right to left as you would see a Globe model spinning on it’ vertical axis.
So you accept that the rotation you are seeing isn't from the rotation of Earth and instead is from the ISS orbiting, but then just straight out reject it and assert you should be seeing the rotation of Earth?
Do you enjoy contradicting yourself?

The ISS travels from west to east.
At midnight, the camera was facing to the north, as shown by the sun remaining above the horizon as it does during the midnight sun in the Arctic.
This means the Earth should appear to move from the right of frame to the left of frame.

So the direction of rotation is consistent with what is expected.

And the position of the camera at focal point (as if viewing the sun over the north pole horizon) places the ISS orbiting way above the equator.
You mean where it is meant to be?
It places it near the Arctic circle.
Note that it doesn't need to be above the Arctic circle. All it needs is the horizon to be within the Arctic circle.

At an altitude of roughly 400 km, the horizon would be roughly 2200 km away.
That equates to a latitude difference of roughly 19.8 degrees.
With the Arctic circle being at roughly 66.6 degrees north, that means the ISS just needs to get up to 46.8 degrees north.
Note: this is an estimate based upon the winter solstice exactly, the exact numbers will be slightly different.

The ISS has an orbital inclination of 51.64 degrees.
This is well above the needed 46.8 degrees.

That means there is absolutely nothing wrong with view of the sun over the north pole.
So another outright lie from you.
Not simply a baseless claim, but a factually incorrect claim where you are merely trying to attack the RE model, using whatever lies you can.

This seems to be almost all you have, blatant lies to pretend there is a problem with a RE.

it is impossible to view the Sun over the north pole horizon when it’s on a pass from the Southern Ocean, south of Tasmania, to western Africa, over northern Mali. The ISS wouldn’t be able to view the Sun north over the horizon being that close to Earth being that far south.
That was the start and end location.
Remember you even made the argument that it made almost a complete orbit (in reality it is more like 2/3).
You are aware the ISS doesn't just magically stay south?
On its trip from Tasmania to Mali it will pass over North America.

Here is an actual map of what its path would be like:
(https://i.imgur.com/1jkYBOx.png)


So still no actual problems with the video, just lie after lie after lie.
The only thing you have shown to be questionable is yourself.

I need know know if I can trust your words too. Yes, or no?
Considering how many times you have blatantly lied, either blatantly misrepresenting the RE model, or made a factually false statement which can easily be shown as such, the real question is can we trust you?
So far I would say no.

it has everything to do with showing the defeat of the Globe Community
It seems to be more about the dishonesty of FEers and how they are quite happy to blatantly lie to pretend there are problems when there are not.
You are yet to show a single problem with the globe model and thus have not even begun to defeat the RE community.

I see Rabinoz has beaten me to it, but I will answer you anyway. In short: You are wrong again. The ISS path is publicly available, you have an internet connection so you can check it as well. Your drawing on the map only proves how clueless you are.

I happens that the ISS was above Tasmania just some minutes ago and will be over West Africa in less than hour, just like in the video.

One of the things I love about our beautiful Plane Earth, I am continually reminded I am right and that NASA is a great deceiver no matter how high and far we can see. There is no curve even at 339,000. If you apply curvature math to this horizon, the Globe Earth theory fails and the hoax is exposed.

Plats, are you setting off anytime soon in search of the edge of the earth? Be sure to pack your night vision goggles if you are, as it's 24 hour night in Antarctica this time of year.

It's unfortunate for your highly entertaining and hopelessly flawed argument that the ISS is filming the curvature of the earth at least every hour of every day. That's because the ISS is high enough to do so.

Would you like to tell us all, plats, who's been filming the flat plane earth from the same altitude as the ISS?

Plats, here's a little experiment you can do. Choose a place 50km due East of you and a place 50km due West of you. Have a look on google the sunset times for each of those three places. They will each be different.

Now remember, the time of sunset is the moment the top limb of the sun disappears at the western horizon.

People at the place east of you will see the sunset at least 6 minutes before you do, and at the place west of you, at least 6 minutes after you do. Don't just take my word for it, I'm sure you know people in such places and you can be on the phone with them to verify the times.

If the earth were a gigantic flat plane, you would continue to see the sun in the sky just as you continue to see planes in the sky long after they have travelled beyond your horizon.

Prove me wrong....

You mean you yet again run away from reality?
This picture from the video you source shows a curve:
(https://i.imgur.com/5YzIUsU.png)
And this one as well:
(https://i.imgur.com/lZzhEpG.png)

It's also quite clear from the footage that there was a fish eye lens being used.
You cherry picked a frame where the distortion due the fish eye lens cancelled the real curvature.
This is easily demonstrated here:
(https://i.imgur.com/S4zu4an.png)
Notice how Earth is below the centre of the FOV? And the horizon is as well.
The only way for the horizon to be appear as a straight line in this shot is if it is actually curved.
Your dishonesty went so far that you even removed a portion of the top of the image to pretend the horizon was in the centre.

So once again, caught lying for a FE.

Is it really surprising that REers wont accept defeat when the only arguments you can put forward are lies?

Do you have anything that isn't based upon a lie or ignorance?
You know, anything to show an actual problem with the RE?

The 216 feet is 0.041 miles.
To see that as one pixel of a bulge, your image has to be 878 pixels wide.

It looks easy, but how big part of the middle of the line will be for that one pixel higher than the rest?
And will it really be seen as a bulge at all? :)

The distance of the 36 miles is too small part of the Earth's circumference to be seen as curved in blueprints.
(One pixel per 878.)
And construction teams already know how to measure from Mean Sea level.
Any other reference is useless.

We can only see in a circle. Optics can only see in the radius of a circle.
Prove it.
There is no evidence of any limit to human vision.
If there was such a limit, you would not be able to see further by going higher.
So if we could only see to a distance of 5 km, we should only see 5 km. Going higher shouldn't then allow the horizon to be much further away.

Also importantly, we live in 3D, not 2D, so we should be seeing the radius of a sphere.
That means objects well above our head, like the sun, shouldn't be visible at all.

So this idea is clearly pure nonsense.

The farthest we can see is straight ahead, anything left to right is pulled back.
No, even with your idea, anything to the left or right will have the same distance.
If we can see in a circle, we can see the same distance all around.

If you apply curvature math of a alleged 3959 mile radius to this horizon or any other, the Globe Earth theory fails and the hoax is exposed.
You mean it can actually explain what is observed rather than relying upon nonsense like our vision magically being limited to a circle?
That isn't exposing a hoax, that is supporting a theory with evidence.

I am working on a post that shows the Suez Canal can’t exist on a Globe Earth, but for now I would like to point out the following.
You mean rather than admit your dishonesty or accept that you were wrong, you will just jump topic again and spout more nonsense.

We are under no obligation to verify the curvature for you, especially not in any particular location. Like I have said, it has been verified plenty of times.
If you want to defeat a RE you can't just say you don't accept the evidence that is already there, or even just appeal to a lack of a particular piece of evidence. You need to show an actual problem.

Where are your measurements of the Panama Canal or the Suez Canal or something to show there is no curve?
So far all you have provided is ignorance and lies. None of that defeats the RE.
If you want to show that the Suez Canal isn't curved, then provide the measurements showing that it is flat, including all the details of how they were obtained.

Topographic maps report height relative to sea level, not some arbitrary flat plane which makes no sense to use as there is literally no justification for any particular plane.
Ignoring definitions of level which don't suit your agenda doesn't help you either.

I guess that means you reject spirit levels and other forms of levels as well, because they don't fit the definition you have cherry picked?


As for you latest strawman, that curvature you are appealing to is effectively nothing.
Again, stop using different units.
You are appealing to a 216 archaic unit drop over a distance of 190080 archaic units.
That is a fractional drop of 0.001.
That is basically nothing.

This is a too scale diagram of just what that should look like:
(https://i.imgur.com/rYUPQ4F.png)

Not very different from a straight line is it?

But more importantly, THAT ISN'T WHAT YOU SHOULD SEE!
That is a great circle of Earth, the curve going all the way around.
You will see part of that when looking straight ahead, but it then doesn't follow the horizon.
Unless you are infinitely far away from Earth, that great circle will be hidden by the horizon.
Instead what you should see is the horizon being at the same angle of dip all around.
So you shouldn't even see that curve.


So again, it isn't surprising that the RE community wont accept defeat when you haven't even begun to defeat them.
So far all you have done is posted a collection of lies and repeated the same claims of ignorance.
People not verifying the curvature doesn't mean the curvature isn't real, and again, plenty of people have verified the curvature.
Making factually incorrect claims about pictures and videos doesn't refute the RE.

Do you have any actual problem with the RE, as I am yet to see you present one.

And like I said, if you really want to defeat REers you should provide an alternative model that works better.
Plenty of observations are consistent with a RE and inconsistent with everything else except nature conspiring to make Earth look round.

Your claim might be funny but it's certainly not true!

Here is the expression for Newtonian Gravitation: (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ks0kf5ov34q2u0h/Newton%27s%20Law%20of%20Universal%20Gravitation.png?dl=1).
So if:
The Universal Gravitational Constant, G = 6.67408 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2,
The mass of the earth is, m1 = 5.972 × 1024 kg,
A typical person's mass, m2 = 80 kg,
The distance from the centre of the earth, r = 6.371 × 106m.

You should be able to work out that person's weight.
So now you prove that "you would be down on all four's having to learn how to walk all over again.".

  • The downward force you have labelled with the red arrow could be placed along any line pointed at the centre of the earth.
    So it would take no significant sideways force to start it rolling in either direction.

  • Likewise with the water at either end no, significant force to start it flowing in either direction.

Are you honestly incapable of understanding that "down" on the Globe is not always in the direction of down from the North Pole.
"Down" is the direction a plumb-bob will point when hanging freely and on the Globe that is almost exactly towards the centre of the earth from all places on earth.

So that ball picture of your is total rubbish because the surface of the Globe does not immediately slope down from the North Pole or anywhere else.

I've never met anyone so incapable of understand such a simple concept.

The bottom line is that if you want to argue against the Globe you must use the "Globe" explanation of the way things work.
If you disagree with those "Globe" explanations of the way things work then the onus is one you to prove your case against them and I've never once seen you do that.

You nailed it alright, plats! You nailed your foot to the floor with your own nail gun!

Here's a tip, the flat earth trolls of yesteryear got big kicks out of knowing the scientists they were challenging, would spend hours if not days and weeks debunking the absurd flat earth proposals. They were trolling the scientists. How long did it take me, a non-scientist, to find these diagrams which annihilate your diagrams? Five seconds. No skin off my nose.

This is 2019, and many thanks to the internet, information about anything is the click of a button away.

Did you know if your were transported to a spherical world that has the gravity actually expressed in your gravity theory, you wouldn't be able to walk? That's right, you would be down on all four's having to learn how to walk all over again. Funny but true!  That's for another week.
So rather than even try to respond to what I said in any honest rational manner you jut bring up more nonsense?
There is nothing funny or true about that.

Why wouldn't I be able to walk?
Can you make any kind of justification, or do you just have a baseless claim?

If the Globe Community really understood how their theory of gravity relates to this world they would alter it!
You mean if the FEers understood how it worked they would stop spouting the same nonsense.
Notice how you appeal to an equilibrium? The same would happen with a RE.
Do you understand hydro-static equilibrium?

Gravity is one force acting on the water.
That compresses the water.
This means the water is under pressure and thus pushes outwards in all directions.
That is one key part of why water flows to maintain its level, even without the top being connected.

The same applies here, with the pressure pushing the water out to the sides to have it spread.

So again, no problem with the RE here.

Gravity isn't a glue which prevents sideways motion, it is just a downwards force.

I honestly think we should admit defeat.

I mean, the FE would be happy in their bubble, no one would be hurt, the earth would still remain round and everything works as intented. And then maybe in the future when space travel is more affordable and each of these FE could board a spaceship they will realise it... (altough I doubt that they would even trust their eyes....and still call fake or manipulation).

Also, we RE could just sit in our chairs and smile and live happy. As long as such people don`t run for president (I mean, Trump is already enough) or have important jobs etc. there is absolutely no problem.

Quote from: Ellen Manning, Yahoo News UK, May 10, 2019
This is how many British people think the Earth is flat (https://news.yahoo.com/three-in-100-britons-think-the-earth-is-flat-143259242.html)
It’s possibly one of the wackiest conspiracy theories out there - yet a poll has revealed that 3% of Britons subscribe to the theory that the Earth is flat.

The YouGov survey showed that three in 100 Brits say the theory that the Earth is flat rather than round is ‘probably’ or ‘definitely’ true.

Just over nine out of ten (93%) believe it’s false, while 4% claim that they don’t know.

The theory was one of several conspiracy theories YouGov quizzed Brits about (https://uk.news.yahoo.com/is-britain-a-nation-of-conspiracy-theorists-132047011.html), including whether the moon landings were faked and whether the threat of climate change has been exaggerated.

The flat Earth theory was the least popular on the survey.
. . . . . . .
One on the most famous moments in history - the moon landing - is also the subject of a conspiracy theory, the poll revealed, with one in six Brits (16%) thinking it was ‘probably’ or definitely staged.

Water flows from higher potential energy to lower.

Lets say a river starts at 100 feet above sea level. The flow will seek out the least potential energy. This will take it to sea level, assuming nothing stops it.

Super easy concept when you realize you don't measure distances above sea level from a mine shaft deep underground.

Why not towards the center of the Earth as it realy does?

As stated before, if Earth were a sphere, coastal regions at or near "sea curve" could not flood. Why? Because the water in this world seeks it’s own level and would easily flow over a curved surface, but it doesn't because of depressions.

Canals don’t curve, water doesn’t curve, water seeking it’s own level is not compatible with spherical gravity and horizontal and depression areas of the coastlines can’t meet with a spherical body of water. The Globe Community has yet of actually verifying the alleged surface curvature of any landmass or canal. And now if one truly understands the effects of spherical gravity they would be able to see it’s not a part of this world.

The center of your sphere Earth is not the surface of the Oceans.

Exactly !!!
The surface of the oceans is all around and the center is deep down inside the planet's core, in the middle.
And everything falls there from north pole, from south pole, from equator, from both tropics and from every other point at the surface.

The Earth's attraction force pulls it all towards the center and keeps it all together.

All it means is that you do not understand the way gravity works. Gravity tends pull things toward the centre of the earth.
Yet you post silly memes like this:
Are you honestly incapable of understanding that "down" on the Globe is not always in the direction of down from the North Pole.
"Down" is the direction a plumb-bob will point when hanging freely and on the Globe that is almost exactly towards the centre of the earth from all places on earth.

So that ball picture of your is total rubbish because the surface of the Globe does not immediately slope down from the North Pole or anywhere else.

I've never met anyone so incapable of understand such a simple concept.

The bottom line is that if you want to argue against the Globe you must use the "Globe" explanation of the way things work.
If you disagree with those "Globe" explanations of the way things work then the onus is one you to prove your case against them and I've never once seen you do that.
I don't care how many times you state something because your stating something does not make it true.

Yes, "water in this world seeks it’s own level" and on the Globe that level is almost a perfect sphere.

Now you define what direction you think down is on the Globe. You seem to think down is in the direction from the North Pole to the South Pole.
But what would cause down to be in that particular direction?

In fact the earth is not the only ball with surface liquid in the solar system. Lakes of ethane and methane have been observed on Saturn's moon Titan.

Titan's lakes seem to curve along the curved surface just fine and there are no signs of titan losing methane due to rotation.

As stated before,
I thought you needed a little help.

Since the Earth were is a sphere, coastal regions at or near "sea curve" can flood but not as readily as inland regions.

Why? Because the water in this world seeks it’s own level and follows the curved surface of the Globe, but water near the coast can drain out to sea more easily than inland regions.

Canals curve, water does curve, water seeking it’s own level is perfectly compatible with spherical gravity and level and depression areas of the coastlines can meet with a spherical body of water.

The Globe Community has verified the surface curvature of over landmasses and canals by measuring the curve and by demonstrating that the horizon always falls below eye-level over any level surface.

And now if one truly understands the effects of spherical gravity they would be able to see it’s perfectly compatible this world.

Rivers wouldn't flow to seas and oceans on a sphere.
I have already explained that that claim is BS.

Gravity isn't glue which magically holds the water in place.
Water flows on the real round Earth just like it would on a hypothetical flat Earth.
The only difference is the overall shape.

Spherical gravity would make water  seek its own spherical radius through gravity pulling to center of mass
i.e. if there is place, like in a river, where the water is higher, and it can flow along the river to get closer to the centre of mass, it would.

Gravity is not strong enough to cause Earth to become a perfect sphere, or even a perfect ellipsoid.
The ground is strong enough to mostly hold its shape.

Your next picture is yet another blatant lie.

Water levelling itself over Earth's curved surface is observable, measurable, repeatable and testable, just like the radius of Earth.
What isn't is the surface of water magically becoming flat or Earth being flat.

Again, Earth is not a tiny ball sitting on top of a much larger one like your experiment would require.

Again, REers aren't going to admit defeat just because you lie about reality.

In the picture below we can assume that your gray parts are the Earth.

In that case we have red lines that show where is "down".
The length of the red lines show how high is the water surface at which place.

This question is asked of all here who believe Earth is a Sphere of any type. This all has to do with a reply Rabinoz posted to me.

Speaking of the surface of this Earth, what have you observed that proves to you Earth is a sphere?
The horizon and things disappearing from the bottom up beyond it.
The horizon below eye level as one increases elevation.
Known elevations of distant hills appearing below closer hills/objects of the same elevation when viewed along a straight line of sight from that same elevation.

Good points.

Surface mirages can obscure the bottom part of a boat on a humid day.

Atmospheric condition can give the appearance of a lower horizon, while blocking the horizon.

Perspective. Even a taller mountain off in a distance is going to appear smaller than closer ones, even on a Plane Earth. 

But none of this proves Earth's surface is curved.

Good points.

Surface mirages can obscure the bottom part of a boat on a humid day.

Atmospheric condition can give the appearance of a lower horizon, while blocking the horizon.

Perspective. Even a taller mountain off in a distance is going to appear smaller than closer ones, even on a Plane Earth. 

But none of this proves Earth's surface is curved.

If it’s atmospheric conditions why does the Toronto skyline sign show it as permanent?

Is there miraging 24/7/365?

While I have seen a timelapse taken from close to the surface of the horizon moving up or down slightly due to shifting temperature layers, it is not blocked.
In conditions with no, or very little, mirage or refraction, the entire object is apparently lowered toward the horizon with the bottom obscured.  One can then raise their viewing elevation and see the obscured parts.  The parts of the object however that are well above the horizon are not distorted like lower areas that are affected by the mirage or refraction.  This fits the globe, not the flat Earth.

I'm not talking about them appearing smaller, I'm talking about points at a specific elevation appearing below a straight line of sight along that same elevation. 

Along a straight line of sight, things below that line of sight appear to rise to it as distance is increased, and things above it appear to lower to it as distance is increased.  Do you agree with that statement?
Title: Re: When will RE Community Accept Defeat?
Post by: JackBlack on August 08, 2019, 02:17:14 PM
I stand by the facts observed on this Earth.
So that Earth is round and gravity is real?

You mean you can't walk outside and observe the Moons directional path?
Relative to what?
If you sit on a merry go round, does Earth spin around you while you remain stationary?
When you are in a car driving along a highway, is the car still while Earth flies backwards?

From many experiments we know that Earth rotates roughly once every 23 hours and 56 minutes.
This matches the apparent motion of the stars.
We know that we also orbit the sun, giving the sun the last of its 24 hour period.
We know that the moon orbits Earth.

All of this is 100% consistent with observations.

orbit on a plane and all orbit above a Plane Earth? It's possible, right?
Will there would be nothing for it to orbit around, so there goes the orbit part.
In order to have it match the sub solar point, it also couldn't be an orbit because it would have to change radius as a back and forth spiral, with the speed of its motion being greater at greater radii (so nothing like an elliptical orbit).

But then there is also the simple fact that all celestial objects are not visible from everywhere on Earth.
For example, excluding regions inside the Arctic and Antarctic circle at summer or winter, the sun is observed to go below the horizon.
For a FE, that requires it to go below Earth. But then it is still visible above another location.
Polaris is only visible in the northern hemisphere.
That requires it to be below Earth for the southern hemisphere and above it for the northern hemisphere.

This simply does not work. So no, it isn't possible.
These are the kind of observations you need to deal with to support a FE. These are the observations you need to deal with if you want to have any kind of chance of defeating RET.

The only way for it to work is for Earth to be round.
That gives each location a unique "above" and "below" direction, so the a celestial object can be "below" the ground for one location while being above another.

Speaking of the surface of this Earth, what have you observed that proves to you Earth is a sphere?
The horizon, and the behaviour of objects near the horizon.
But why limit it to just the surface.
The behaviour of celestial objects also proves Earth is round.

Then there are things like laser ring gyroscopes and Foucault's pendulum and large scale weather systems that not only show Earth is round, but also that it is rotating.


Clouds lit from underneath is a good point. But explained easily.
Only by the sun literally being below them.
i.e. the ancient FE, incompatible with so many observations, or a RE.

What have you observed that proves Earth is flat?
So far all I have seen you do is appeal to ignorance and claim lies about how a RE should/does work.

There is so much that points to a RE, but literally nothing that points to a FE.

Can you give a response that directly applies to the following?

You mean you can't walk outside and observe the Moons directional path? Does it go in the same direction as the Sun?

I mean I can go outside and see the Sun, Moon and celestial tropical belt stars go the same way. They all go from east to west.

Does this wording satisfy your demand? :)

That's better. You included the words "Moon, East and West" in a reply to a question I asked. Thank you.

Speaking of the surface of this Earth, what have you observed that proves to you Earth is a sphere?

Sunrise due east and sunset due west for each equinox.
Observed from:
Doha, Qatar - 25 degrees north
Winston-Salem, NC - 36 degrees north
Ohrid, Macedonia - 41 degrees north
Belgrade, Serbia - 45 degrees north
Frankfurt, Germany - 50 degrees north

Constant sun and moon angular diameter through the day.
Constant angular speed of celestial bodies through day.

Apparent horizon dip grows with altitude.
Horizon distance grows with altitude.

Measured distance to the Moon myself,
once in late 70s using 432 MHz radio waves,
once couple of years ago using sextant and lunar parallax.
Both times the result was somewhat over 380 000 kilometers.

Hills and buildings hidden more or less behind horizon when I change floor in tall building.
In hotel at sea shore horizon gets farther when I climb higher, and I see more or less
at the same moment of a day without waiting for refraction to change.

Shadow of horizon for sunset crawls up on building or hill behind me,
for sunrise on other building or hill crawls down.

Rayleigh scattering gives twilight at dawn and dusk.

There are many other things, too lazy to list them.

This question is asked of all here who believe Earth is a Sphere of any type. This all has to do with a reply Rabinoz posted to me.

Speaking of the surface of this Earth, what have you observed that proves to you Earth is a sphere?
I have observed that the horizon is a sharp and close - only a few kilometres from near sea-level.
This sort of thing:
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/0thzfx6itaxum1w/Scarborough%20Beacon%2050%20mm%20lens%20-%20cropped.jpg?dl=1)

The above photo was taken from about 2 m above water level and just left of centre there is a navigation beacon that is 2.6 km away.

If the earth were flat why is there no water visible past that beacon? Here is that beacon from a lower height and with a long telephoto lens:
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/abvtouhbm0c2pg4/Scarborough%20Beacon%20on%20Horizon%20-%20str.JPG?dl=1)
Scarborough from 50 cm above water, Beacon 2.6 km away on Horizon
I took that photo and I know for certain that the navigation beacon in  photos is only 2.6 km from the beach.
Yet from only a few tens of metres high the horizon is still sharp but much further.

And I've seen videos taken from places I know and have visited that conclusively demonstrate that the horizon ie well below "eye-level".

The second video below is a local one that I know:
Does anyone have a real argument for why its round?
Because the horizon does not rise to "eye-level" as is claimed in the "FAQ" and the "Wiki".

Flat Earth: Does the horizon really rise to eye level? Rory.
Rory shows a number of simple ways that this can be tested and at the end says, "research it properly and figure it out for yourself".

And the next is from an earlier post and I present it here because Flaxton Gardens are only about 111 km from where I live and I've been there  a number of times.
So here is more evidence that the horizon falls below "eye-level":

Flat Earth? Mountains rising to meet eye-level by Andrew Eddie

Andrew Eddie found that, from Flaxton Gardens (418 m above sea-level), Mount Coolum (208 m above sea-level) lines up with the horizon.
This makes it certain that the horizon is below the local horizontal at Flaxton Gardens.

There are numerous more videos in like vein, though many are far less polite to flat-earthers!
Then the obvious evidence is simple things like sunrises and sunsets as in my own photos:
Then finally a couple of stills of the sun setting over the ocean at Weipa in Queensland:
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/9gx2rtvrzytmrx7/07-Weipa%20Sunset.jpg?dl=1)
Sun near setting at Weipa
               
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/mda31bn2xh10x4w/13-Weipa%20Sunset.jpg?dl=1)
Sunset at Weipa
I've seen no flat earth give a reasonable explanation of even that without a lot of assumptions and pure guesses.

The problem is the small minds and limited understanding humans have when trying to understand the nature of the universe around them

You see, we have not put the pieces together to find an answer - rather we have made up an answer and then tried to arrange the pieces that could fit to justify the answer.

If you are wrong from the start, you can still arrange the pieces to fall in a way that suits your answers. Afterall, we have written the rules.

We say the universe started with a big bang and had this hyper inflation etc etc. You see, that's wrong. But using the information available to us, we can fit the pieces together to form a narrative to say that's right! We wrote the rules so we can pretty much come up with any answer we like.

And what to you do when you get caught out? Say things like 'The laws break down at this level', 'Quantum', 'Dark Matter/Energy', 'Subspace' and so on.

They will never accept defeat because in their minds they will always be right. These people are the real enemy of progress - because in their selfish desire to get fame, money, etc they steer humanity down a black hole.

You're not "easily explaining" it. How does this happen at all on a Flat Earth? And how does the shadow cast upward onto Everest on a flat earth? Please easily explain it.


Bending of light. Its a A weather phenomenon. That's why it doesn't happen all the time.

What bending of the light? How does a local sun say 3000 miles high cast light downward then arbitrarily bend it up to cast a shadow up underneath the clouds or up to the top of Everest?

You're answer is that it doesn't matter it's a weather phenomenon? What's the weather phenomenon then? Is the setting and rising of the sun a weather phenomenon?

It can happen wherever and whenever the clouds are at an elevation just above the top of the mountain, there is a long expanse of lower land to the east or west, and clear skies farther away.  There are pictures of the same thing happening at Mt. Shasta, Glacier peak, Mt. Baker, Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Mcloughlin, and probably others elsewhere.

Our small Sun reaches a point where it can't continue to cast light on the MT and there is no proof the Suns light doesn't bend through atmosphere from that far away at sun set.

Are you still going to use MT Rainier as actually proof Earth curves?

The sun sets EVERY DAY, EVERYWHERE! (between the Arctic/Antarctic circles). The sun rises every day, from essentially the opposite direction. Both events happen at highly predictable times that vary by ~24 hours depending on your position on the earth.

Nice deflection. So you don't know where your sun is. I can tell you exactly where mine is at any point in a day or night without having to school you on its orbital mechanics.

And yet it remains the same size all day.  How high do you think the sun is, and how far away would it need to be to be 1 degree above the horizon?  How far away would it need to be to appear to touch the horizon?

It's ok to say you can't explain it. I have been here long enough to see this question dodged dozens of times by FE, and on this earth plenty long to know you have ZERO chance of explaining these facts.

It doesn't matter, it's a weather phenomenon.
No, it does matter but it does not happen everywhere because it needs a fairly isolated mountain with a suitable layer of clouds and it is commonly seen at around the same period each year.

But there are upward slanting shadows on and caused by many mountains:

Sunsets of Mt Everest. The shadows from lower mountains creep up to obscure higher mountains. The sun is not reflecting up off of the sea, or anything, for example. It can’t, there are mountains in the way.  No matter how far away the sun gets it can’t cast a shadow upward to the top of the highest mountain in the world unless it is moving ‘downward’. In other words, setting behind a horizon.

A 3000 mile high FE sun can't cast a shadow upward on the mountains no matter how far away it gets; it never breaks the horizontal plane of the lower peak to do so:

This is the view of the 2/20/08 Lunar Eclipse as seen from Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii.
We missed most of the eclipse because of how far west Hawaii is.
What we did get to see rose at sunset, within the shadow of Mauna Kea, which was a truly beautiful sight.
I hope I share a bit of that with you in this time lapse.

You have yet to give any definitive answers that go beyond reasonable doubt rab. I bet you were the sort of kid that drew the Sun as yellow. Have you ever seen a ski field that looked like it was pissed on? Because that's what a yellow star would make snow look like.

You pretend to be answer man but your answers are usually always harmful in that they sway people from the truth. Actual knowledge.

This post is in reply to most arguments above.  Arguments that have been addressed here at the FE forum many times but ignored.  Please don’t ignore the lights of the city at 52.72 miles away. They should be hidden by bulge of water.  And notice there is a horizon and not a curvizon.

The highest dune at Warren Dune State Park is 260". What should be hidden is 693'. The Sears tower is 1450'. What is seen of the City in the video is a lot more than half the City. It's time for the Globe Community to recalculate Earth's curvature.   Eratosthenes was wrong.

I can see a portion of the skyline due to atmospheric effects. The actual hidden amount is 1592' excluding refraction. Which you also claim in your observations. And the point is, on a flat earth, why am I not seeing all of it? That's the point, on a flat earth, I should see ALL OF IT!

If the earth isn't curved, then the only logical explanation is that the laws of physics that we use every day in countless applications are completely wrong.  That means that you would need to define a whole new set of physical laws from scratch.  Good luck with that.

This post is in reply to most arguments above.  Arguments that have been addressed here at the FE forum many times but ignored.  Please don’t ignore the lights of the city at 52.72 miles away. They should be hidden by bulge of water.  And notice there is a horizon and not a curvizon.

So you have admitted defeat on where your Sun is? How it sets and rises everyday and determines time, which I assume you follow like the rest of us. And have moved back to your other meme, the Chicago skyline. You claim atmospheric effects on bendy light, shadows cast upward, yet refuse the atmospheric explanations, (which are well documented, your bendy light is not) when it comes to the Chicago skyline. Curious.

And the real question about the Chicago skyline is not "why do we see it", but "why don't we see all of it"?

And you still have the meme wrong, 1802' is not correct. You admitted that, now change it.

So, where is your Sun?

And while you're at it, did you contact the Florida surveyors board to get the geodetic information you were looking for I posted before? You know, the info about measuring curvature and such. Let me know what they have to say when you talk to them.

The 1802' is Correct. I corrected "1802 of curvature blocking the view." 

No, the real question about the Chicago skyline is "why do we see it at all"

You have to now change you Globe Model size of Earth because you see the city.

The fact that most of the City is seen, proves your 3959 mile radius is a hoax and proves Eratosthenes was wrong.

See, you have more problems now. You should have not posted. I like my Avatar.

I can see a portion of the skyline due to atmospheric effects. The actual hidden amount is 1592' excluding refraction. Which you also claim in your observations. And the point is, on a flat earth, why am I not seeing all of it? That's the point, on a flat earth, I should see ALL OF IT!

So, where is your sun right now?
Eratosthenes was wrong.  No bunny trails for you.

Have a nice evening!

Well done. Yet again, you can't answer the most rudimentary questions and retire. We'll take that as your defeat. When you find your sun, let us know. In the mean time, if you actually represented the FE Community (which you don't) you have overarchingly accepted defeat. And we thank you.

Do you know how much should be hidden from view?  Yes, there is a horizon, and no, there's no left to right curve visible, as is expected with a high magnification shot on a globe.

Then Earth must be cylinder shaped. You can't have it both ways.
Are you saying that when zooming in on a curved line, the curve of the line does not appear to lessen?

If this was caused by curvature it would happen all the time and everywhere.
It can happen wherever and whenever the clouds are at an elevation just above the top of the mountain, there is a long expanse of lower land to the east or west, and clear skies farther away.  There are pictures of the same thing happening at Mt. Shasta, Glacier peak, Mt. Baker, Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Mcloughlin, and probably others elsewhere.

Not all the time everywhere.

Ofcourse not.
You need clouds, mountain and clear horizon.

It will never happen in Algeria, Tunisia, Lybia, Egypt.
There are no high mountains there, and clouds are rare exceptions.

Anyway, you have to have Sun lower than the mountain peak to make it cast shadow higher.
In Flat Earth there is no weather that could possibly do it.

Oftentimes, when flat earthers are trying to show that the earth is, in fact flat, they present a specific picture of the Chicago Skyline taken across lake Michigan:

This picture, as shown in the description, was taken 200mm atop a dune in Grand Mere Lakes park, near Stevensville, Mi. The specific dune is not mentioned, but the likely place is shown here:

This location is 735 feet above sea level. Lake Michigan itself is actually 577 feet above lake level[1]. This means the elevation of the actual picture (including the height of the camera above the dune) was 159 feet.

Given the curvature calculation, and the fact that this spot is approximately 55 miles from Chicago, it is expected that only about 1043 feet of this skyline should be obscured by the horizon. This does not take into account atmospheric refraction, which may make more visible. In the picture below, the 4 buildings which, at their pinnacle height, are taller than this have been marked. Though other buildings appear to be visible, none are above the band which shows significant warping due to atmospheric refraction:

It doesn't matter, it's a weather phenomenon.

What a pathetic answer.  You cannot explain it, you have no rational answer, so you close your eyes and dismiss it as a "weather effect". Is that what a "seeker of truth does" ? How pathetic.
Title: Re: When will RE Community Accept Defeat?
Post by: JackBlack on August 09, 2019, 01:11:08 AM
what do you think is a logical explanation if Earth isn't curved?
That's your problem. The logical explanation (which considers all the other evidence) is that Earth is curved.
The other option is that the sun goes below the clouds, which goes against the modern FE models.

If this was caused by curvature it would happen all the time and everywhere. But this is not the case here. To deem this as actually prove of curvature is intellectual dishonesty.
Light going upwards at sunset does happen everywhere where the sun isn't setting behind mountains.
The weather based part of this is that it needs clouds above, and wont happen in clear skies because then you won't have an object there to be nicely illuminated.
The location based part of this is the mountain which is needed to cast the shadow upwards.

But if you like, you can go to a beach, find a nice vertical wall with a view to the sunrise or sunset, and then place a stick perpendicular to the wall, preferably nice an high.
Then observe the shadow at sunrise and sunset.
You will notice that as the sun rises, the shadow starts out going upwards and then drops down.
At sunset the opposite happens.

In either case, the shadow is upwards when the sun is very low in the sky.

This makes perfect sense for a RE, but is incompatible with the FE model of the sun always above Earth.
Bending of light.
What is causing the light to bend?
Why does it consistently happen at sunrise and sunset?

If it was a weather phenomenon, then the setting of the sun and this upwards light would be far more chaotic, with the sun rising and setting at wildly different times throughout the day, with no simple pattern, and would frequently be visible at night, all over Earth, and sometimes not visible during the day.
Instead, other than some minor variation, it follows quite a predictable pattern, rising and setting as expected for a RE.

there is no proof the Suns light doesn't bend through atmosphere from that far away at sun set.
That isn't a simple explanation, that is appealing to wilful ignorance.
We understand the properties of light, it will bend, downwards.

Are you still going to use MT Rainier as actually proof Earth curves?
Unless you can provide an explanation that is consistent with a FE and physics, yes.

This post is in reply to most arguments above.
You already admitted you were wrong.
Why post the same lie again?

That is not possible on a FE.
If Earth was flat, the lower section of the building should still be clearly visible.
This is only possible on a RE.
The best you can try and argue is that Earth is larger than people claim.

But you ignore 2 key points.
One is refraction.
The value that is hidden which is calculated from Earth's actual radius will be larger than that actually hidden due to curvature.
The other is what you have already admitted, that 1800 archaic units is the drop due to curvature not the amount hidden.
It would only apply if the camera was at sea level, which goes directly against the caption of the video which states that it was taken from atop a dune.

EDIT: the numbers below are wrong as I forget to factor in the elevation of the lake surface (roughly 577 feet). This will significantly increase the amount hidden, but large portions of the city should still be visible.

The dunes go to roughly 800 archaic units.
That means the horizon is sqrt(800*12/8)=35 archaic units away.
That means it is only 17 archaic units from the horizon to Chicago.
That means that only 17*17*8/12=192 archaic units should be hidden of the buildings.

Even being more generous and having the observer at only 500 archaic units, you only get 417 archaic units  hidden.

The top of the buildings is 1451 archaic units.
So that means there is nothing wrong with this photo with a RE.


But like I said, it shouldn't happen on a FE.

And notice there is a horizon
Yes, exactly as you would expect for a RE.
The curve you are trying to see would be mostly hidden by the horizon.

But it is solid evidence that the sun in not circling overhead as flat earthers seem to claim.
On the real earth the sun appears to be hidden by "something" and to rise up at sunrise like this:

But on the flat earth the sun is supposedly always about 3000 miles above the earth.

There is no way that I can see for the flat earth sun to be low enough to produce the upward slanting shadows from Mt Rainier, from Moana Lua in Hawaii or onto Mt Everest.

No, the images are not an illusion other than the video seem to show the sun moving and not the earth rotating.

And since they are not an illusion I have no need to "tell the difference between a small illusion and a large one."
Hence your claim is no more than "a rediculous, self-contradicting argument."

And the images are not false because the light if refracted by about half a degree by a known and understood effect.
A camera or telescope relies on far more refraction than that to produce the images we see.

Would you also claim that those images are false because they are the result of refraction?

What about these, where I saw the sun setting myself? Was I seeing false images?

Tom, refraction is not an illusion.  It's a physical effect that has been studied for hundreds of years and is well understood.  That's how scientists can confidently claim that the sun near the horizon is about one half degree lower than it appears.

Explain how scientists can "confidently" explain that the sun lags behind to appear above the horizon when it is below it, when, as sokarul tells us, the sun moves faster at sunset.

Show us these explanations and how the contradictions are reconciled rather than asserting that "everything is explained".

Perhaps most importantly, explain to us how the ability for someone to fart out an explanation constitutes evidence of occurrence.

The important points are that:
  • From that camera height of 159 feet from that spot approximately 55 miles from Chicago, it is expected that only about 1043 feet of this skyline should be obscured by the horizon.

    But we usually expect some atmospheric refract and the Metabunk Earth's Curve Horizon, Bulge, Drop, and Hidden Calculator (https://www.metabunk.org/curve/) allows for that.
    This "normal" refraction would show that only 839 feet and all it needs to cause a little extra refraction is for the air being cooler near the lake's surface that higher up.

  • The unobscured skyline should be something like this, though it's probably not quite from the same direction.

The highest dune at Warren Dune State Park is 260". What should be hidden is 693'. The Sears tower is 1450'. What is seen of the City in the video is a lot more than half the City. It's time for the Globe Community to recalculate Earth's curvature.   Eratosthenes was wrong.

Explain how scientists can "confidently" explain that the sun lags behind to appear above the horizon when it is below it, when, as sokarul tells us, the sun moves faster at sunset.

That isnt what sokarul said. There's a dishonesty to your post which hinders, rather than helps the discussion.

The sun setting faster at the horizon is a known effect.

If you want to see a bunch of people farting out contradictory answer for this with zero evidence just do an internet search : https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/b1ajz5/the_sun_appears_to_move_faster_during_sunrise_or/

Have you measured the speed of the setting sun and compared it to the speed of the sun as it moves across the sky?

because they simply do not exist.

and my analogy is nearly perfect for every near-sun model I have seen. If your sun is that close, (what did you say, 3,200 miles?), and it clearly needs to travel much further laterally to provide the day cycle we clearly observe, it would absolutely reduce in angular size as it "goes away".


So, explain your sun. Don't give me that "I don't have time" bullshit", dumb it down for us indoctrinated sheep.

Post by: JackBlack on August 09, 2019, 03:35:56 PM
Why are you posting what the Round Earth Theory claims is an illusion to show that there is no illusion occuring?
Why are you appealing to well known refraction, which easily explains it for a RE, while avoiding providing a FE explanation?

Note: refraction is not an illusion.

Also note: refraction is well understood.
With a RE we have a very small amount of refraction, less than 1 degree.
For a FE you need massive amounts of refraction which varies dramatically based upon location and time.

At 10 000 km away, the 5000 km high sun should appear at an angle of roughly 26.5 degrees.
That means you need 26.5 degrees of refraction, and more importantly, in the opposite direction.

What causes this opposite direction of refraction?
We know that as altitude increases, density decreases. If it didn't the dense air would fall.
We also know that for air, refractive index is related to density such that more dense air has a higher refractive index.
This means as altitude increases, refractive index decreases.
So a ray of light going downwards from the sun will go into a denser and denser medium meaning it will go closer to the normal and thus curve down, not up like you need.

What should be hidden is 693'.
So why lie and claim over 1800 archaic units should be hidden before?

Also, running the numbers (taking your 260" to be 260') only gives 680 archaic units hidden.
But as I pointed out earlier, that is without taking refraction into consideration.

Meanwhile, if Earth was flat, what should be hidden is 0.

The Sears tower is 1450'. What is seen of the City in the video is a lot more than half the City.
Based upon what?

Accept defeat!
Why accept defeat when you have provided evidence that directly refutes a FE?
The best you can get is saying Earth is slightly larger than people say.

If you want us to accept defeat you will need to show a problem with the RE model, which you are yet to do.

Why does the Sun's angular size have to change  greatly on a Plane Earth?
If you want the ancient FE model, were the very distant sun circles Earth, going BELOW Earth, then it doesn't.
However if you want a modern FE model where the sun just circles above Earth, then the distance changes dramatically.
For example, when the sun is directly overhead it is claimed to be 5000 km above.
But then when setting it is setting over a place 10 000 km away (using RE distances, further with FE distances).
That has more than doubled the distance to the sun and thus the sun should shrink to less than half its size.

As you wont give precise details, lets just use the commonly used NP centred AEP FE model?

You want someone at 45 degrees north on the equinox, well as you pointed out the sun is about 5000 km above someone at the equator.
Meanwhile, someone at 45 degrees north is 5000 km away from that point on the equator, making the sun roughly 7071 km away, or about sqrt(2) times the distance from someone at the equator, so the sun should be significantly smaller for the person at 45 degrees north.
But that is changing between locations not time.
Lets go to sunset.
Now the sun is above a point on the equator, with a difference of 90 degrees latitude.
From the FE map, this means the sub-solar point is now sqrt(5000^2+10000^2) km away or ~11200 km away.
This puts the sun 12247 km away, or 1.73 times the distance it was at midday.
That means it should be roughly 1.73 times bigger at midday than it is at sunset.

The roughly constant angular size of the sun only makes sense with a very distant sun, much more distant than the size of Earth, such that regardless of where you are on Earth, the distance to it is roughly the same, and does not change throughout the day (this last part seems less connected, but the issue is if it was close to Earth and changed position, then it could only remain roughly the same distance away from one location, not all of Earth). But this destroys the FE model, as if that was the case the sun would appear in the same direction to everyone.
This is one of the ancient FE models where there was just a single time zone and the sun set by going below Earth

In response to the fairy tales you accept and teach.
Yes, in response to your fairy tales we accept reality and teach.

Yes, observation is good, but FEers reject it.
A simple daily observation is the rising and setting of the sun and countless stars. This refutes the FE model.
So you need to reject direct observations.

While less direct another example of observations is photos, including those from space, where simple observation shows Earth is round.
A more direct version of this is using the moon as the "camera" to take a picture of Earth's shadow during a solar eclipse, which also shows Earth is round.
Then there is also direct observation of water obscuring the view to an object which is above the water from a location which is above the water.

These direct observations show Earth is round.

The other important thing to note is that observation is limited.
For example, by observing the apparent angular position, you are only measuring relative position, not which is moving.
If you were sitting on a merry go round, and you claimed that you were stationary with Earth rotation around the axis of the merry go round, people would think you are crazy.
But that is the same kind of observation as Earth and the stars.
Is Earth stationary with the celestial objects moving around? Are the celestial objects stationary with Earth rotating? Or some combination of the celestial objects moving while Earth is also rotating?
We can rule out the second option due to the differential motion.
The sun and moon move relative to each other and relative to the stars. So they can't all be stationary, but we can focus on some of them at least.
Is Earth stationary with the moon moving around in a chaotic path (with no explanation at all), or is Earth rotating, with the moon following a much simpler path?

So observation only gets you so far. Instead you need to think about those observations and what makes more sense.

The observations work with both HC and GC, as all GC requires is manipulating a HC solar system to keep Earth fixed.
HC won because unlike GC, it made sense. It had explanatory power and didn't require the magic to keep Earth fixed.

But don't worry, there is also other observations to support a rotating Earth, that of Focault's pendulum large scale weather systems, laser ring gyroscopes and the like.

But hey, you were quite close with one point.
Humans don't sense motion. There is no sense for motion.
What we can sense is our body transmitting a force across us.

The absence of a sense we do not have is not evidence that we are stationary.

And yes, we know how easy it is for people to make up a model of Earth which does not match reality at all and have those ignorant of reality and how reality and such a model would work getting conned into it. Look at you, accepting a FE even though it doesn't match reality at all.

So as a summary:
FE does not match observation at all. Even simple observations directly contradict FE models, with mountains of magic needing to be thrown in.

Meanwhile RE does match observation, from the horizon obscuring distant objects (or their lower portion), to the apparent motion of the celestial objects.

So why should RE accept defeat, when all the evidence points to RE?

Neither did we.
You had already posted that and already torn to shreds.

Again, when you sit on a merry go round do you claim the merry go round is stationary with Earth spinning around you?

Or do you accept that all observing relative motion does is tell you there is relative motion?
These observations of relative motion cannot tell which is moving.

Humans lack a sense for detecting motion, likely because it is physically impossible as there is no absolute linear motion.
Instead what we feel is our body transferring force, such as when a seat pushes you forwards in a car.
So the absence of a feeling we don't have is proof of nothing.

Meanwhile, instruments can easily measure the rotation of Earth.

Observation shows that Earth is round and rotating.

It's hard to know what myth is to you versus reality as you never state your beliefs. For starters why not answer the questions we've all been asking you:

So, explain your sun:
How far away is it? You said it's altitude is approximately 3200 miles, if I'm not mistaken.
Where is it right now? As in how far away from you is it horizontally speaking, preferably at your sunset.
Where does it go at night?

Super simple questions anyone could answer without having to go into some mysterious FE mechanics no one has ever heard of.

Roll a basketball down the street. Does it's angular size change? Yes.

Sorry, that one is not going to stick. You don't have a clue about Flat Earth Mechanics.
So if you do "have a clue about Flat Earth Mechanics" explain why the sun's and moon's angular size change must change on the flat earth.

Hint, it has something to do with perspective.

Did you fabricate this myth? That's about like saying," If Earth is Flat it must have an edge. Spread the myth and make them show you the edge if Earth is Flat"

It's hard to know what myth is to you versus reality as you never state your beliefs. For starters why not answer the questions we've all been asking you:

So, explain your sun:
How far away is it? You said it's altitude is approximately 3200 miles, if I'm not mistaken.
Where is it right now? As in how far away from you is it horizontally speaking, preferably at your sunset.
Where does it go at night?

Super simple questions anyone could answer without having to go into some mysterious FE mechanics no one has ever heard of.
It's more important for the Globe Community to prove the foundation of their theory and not avoid and ignore it. They have a responsibility to make good on the claims of Earth is a sphere by actually verifying the alleged surface curvature of Earth's landmass.  You have to get your proprieties right!  That's what matters.

Please continue. I would love to learn more on your thoughts pertaining to "Humans lack a sense for detecting motion"
Then go read what I said before, and try and actually respond to it.
What humans are capable of feeling is a force being transmitted by their body.
When you drive along in a car going at a constant speed down a smooth road, you don't feel it, even though you are moving.
When you sit on a merry go round rotating around slowly, you don't feel it, even though you are moving.

I understood little to nothing of what your little mini-rant was.

As for "make good on the claims of Earth is a sphere by actually verifying the alleged surface curvature of Earth's landmass." You asked about the curvature of Florida before. I showed you the Florida Board of Surveyors who perform geodetic surveys of, well, Florida. Using, among other tools, orthometric leveling and GPS all referencing the geoid. Aka, the sphere. I asked you to call them to learn more. Maybe let them know they are wasting their time. Have you?

Now, why dodge the simplest of questions, repeatedly? Why?

Get the message, Steve!

There is far more evidence for the Globe that simply seeing or even measuring "curvature" but that curvature has been measured numerous times.
One of the earliest, from about 1000 AD, is described in: Al-Biruni's Classic Experiment: How to Calculate the Radius of the Earth (https://owlcation.com/stem/How-to-Determin-the-Radius-of-the-Earth-Al-Birunis-Classic-Experiment).
A "short version" can be found in: Al-Biruni’s Method to Determine the Radius of the Earth (https://flatearth.ws/al-biruni-method), summarised in:

(https://flatearth.ws/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/al-biruni-method.jpg)

Al-Biruni is regarded as the "father of Geodesy" and geodetic surveyors have been effectively measuring the curvature of the earth ever since.
It is what they do in preparing "plane drawings" (ie drawings showing elevations above the local "Mean Sea Level") before large projects such as the Suez or Panama canals.

Though you will find that recently Geodetic Surveyors base the locations on GNSS measurements - it's much easier and more accurate than climbing massive towers to see long distances over the curve of the earth.

Frightening things like these:

Part was, of course to get above the terrain but the height was also necessary see the required distances over the curve.

I see you have that thinking cap on again ole buddy. But what I want to know is why you fabricated that myth I wrote about. When will you address that?

And I see you have more fabricated Geo what ever nonsense to continue the Great Hoax for the gullible.

BTW, the history of GPS, "Ground Position Systems" can be found in the historical videos below. But it now has a new name "Satellites" to deceive the masses.

There are no satellites (as taught) in orbit, GPS = LORAN (PART 1)



There are no satellites (as taught) in orbit, GPS = LORAN (PART 2)



There are no satellites in orbit, (As Taught) GPS = LORAN (PART 3)



It's now been all updated with digital technology and works just fine without your fake satellites, along with underground cables.But keep believing the myth!

No, a different technology has a different name.
The LORAN system had quite limited range and coverage.

GPS doesn't have that limitation, because it uses a network of satellites which can effectively cover the globe (excluding around the poles, where the coverage is much worse).

More importantly, all the information on it is out in the open. It simply wouldn't work as fake satellites like you need it to.

No, not many are.

Why does the Sun's angular size have to change  greatly on a Plane Earth?

Because the distance from the observer is changing greatly during the day.

Let's say you are in Mineapolis, 45 degrees north, 3110 miles away from the Equator.

For equinoctial solar noon when the Sun is above the Equator you can see it due south 45 degrees above the horizon.
You have simple isoceles right triangle Sun-Equator-Mineapolis that shows the sun 3110 miles above the Equator and 4398 miles away from you.
The Sun's angular diameter is 0.5 degrees, and to have that the required Sun radius has to be R = tan(0.25) * 4398 = 19 miles.
So, Sun's diameter has to be 38 miles.
At the same moment another observer at the Equator would have the Sun directly over head.
The angular diameter of the Sun from there should be 2 * ArcTan(19 / 3110) = 0.7 degrees.
But it is not, it is still 0.5 degrees.

Six hours later the Sun is 90 degrees west from where it was at solar noon.
Ground distance from Mineapolis grew from 3110 to 5387 miles, making direct line distance to be
SQRT(31102 + 53872) = 6220 miles.
The Sun with radius of 19 miles should have angular diameter of 2 * ArcTan(19 / 6220) = 0.35 degrees.
That's the chabge from 0.5 to 0.35 in 6 hours.
In reality you don't have that change.

From that other observer at the Equator, ground distance was increased from zero to 6220 miles,
which makes the direct line distance increased from 3110 to 6954 miles.
At the new distance the Sun with radius of 19 miles should have the angular diameter of
2 * ArcTan(19 / 6954) = 0.31 degrees.
That's the change from 0.7 to 0.31 in six hours.
Again, in reality you don't have that change.

In reality the Sun's angular diameter, seen from anywhere on Earth, is still those 0.5 degrees.

I would say the distance is quite unclear, but it looks like far more than a few hundred feet.
But that is much more like the "horizon" that would be expected for a FE.
Notice how there is no clear horizon and instead it just fades to a blur?
That is what would be expected for a a FE. No clear divide, just the atmosphere scattering and absorbing more and more light until the ground and sky fade to a blur, becoming indistinguishable from one another.
It's distance would not change with height and you wouldn't see objects beyond it.

But instead, outside of these rare weather conditions the horizon is typically quite sharp, with its distance dependent upon your altitude, and you still being able to see objects beyond it.

So once again, FE doesn't match reality, but RE does.

Ok, you are at the height of 10 meters and the distance to your horizon is limited by air to be 11.29 kilometers away.
In that case how can you see only tops (and not bottoms) of those mountains 125 kilometers behind that horizon.

You would not get a nice sharp horizon.

And you can calculate all that but you are incapable of verifying (calculate) the actually (alleged) curvature (through calculation) of any landmass or canal?  Do the right thing and prove the foundation of your theory.

Whats the actually verified surface (calculated) curvature over Florida's surface, length and width? You can't tell me, right? Give up!

You were right, my numbers for an equinoctial solar sunset were wrong.
From the observer in Mineapolis (M) Sun's angular diameter should change from 0.5 degrees at N to 0.29 degrees at S.
From the observer at the Equator (N) Sun's angular diameter should change from 0.7 degrees at N to 0.23 degrees at S.

From Daytona Beach to Cedar Key is 121 miles.
Geometric curvature bulge is 0.46 miles.

From Key West to Fernandina beach is 422 miles.
Geometric curvature bulge is 5.62 miles.

The theory is not mine.
It is the result of millennia of ground measurements.

This is what you asked isn't it?
Why does the Sun's angular size have to change  greatly on a Plane Earth?

In order to answer that question I need to know where do you think the sun is at given time and what does you FE map look like.

Can you provide a similar image with sun position and daylight limits on FE map for 22.12.2019? What will be the height of the sun on  22.12.2019?

If you can't answer simple questions like where is the sun, what is the shape of the sun or where is the sun setting and rising at a given time, I'll have to conclude that the FE model you keep talking about doesn't exist. You just have a general idea that the earth is flat and the sun hovers over it and that's it.

Why does the Sun's angular size have to change  greatly on a Plane Earth?

Because the distance from the observer is changing greatly during the day.

Let's say you are in Mineapolis, 45 degrees north, 3110 miles away from the Equator.

For equinoctial solar noon when the Sun is above the Equator you can see it due south 45 degrees above the horizon.
You have simple isoceles right triangle Sun-Equator-Mineapolis that shows the sun 3110 miles above the Equator and 4398 miles away from you.
The Sun's angular diameter is 0.5 degrees, and to have that the required Sun radius has to be R = tan(0.25) * 4398 = 19 miles.
So, Sun's diameter has to be 38 miles.
At the same moment another observer at the Equator would have the Sun directly over head.
The angular diameter of the Sun from there should be 2 * ArcTan(19 / 3110) = 0.7 degrees.
But it is not, it is still 0.5 degrees.

Six hours later the Sun is 90 degrees west from where it was at solar noon.
Ground distance from Mineapolis grew from 3110 to 5387 miles, making direct line distance to be
SQRT(31102 + 53872) = 6220 miles.
The Sun with radius of 19 miles should have angular diameter of 2 * ArcTan(19 / 6220) = 0.35 degrees.
That's the chabge from 0.5 to 0.35 in 6 hours.
In reality you don't have that change.

From that other observer at the Equator, ground distance was increased from zero to 6220 miles,
which makes the direct line distance increased from 3110 to 6954 miles.
At the new distance the Sun with radius of 19 miles should have the angular diameter of
2 * ArcTan(19 / 6954) = 0.31 degrees.
That's the change from 0.7 to 0.31 in six hours.
Again, in reality you don't have that change.

In reality the Sun's angular diameter, seen from anywhere on Earth, is still those 0.5 degrees.

Yes the theory is not yours nor does it pertain to the length and width of Florida as verified surface curvature, and you have not including the morning horizon  which will have about the same angular size as sunset.   Then what is the difference between sunrise, sunset and Noon?

By the way I'm waiting for an answer for:

Either prove that "Newton and others falsified the moon's rotation" or admit that you are making up fairy tales again.

I didn't forget.

In response to the fairy tales you accept and teach.
Sorry, but seem you have forgotten that I asked you this:

Either prove that "Newton and others falsified the moon's rotation" or admit that you are making up fairy tales again.
Failure to prove your claim will be taken as an admission that "that you are making up fairy tales again".

And now onto to your next fallacy:

I'll ignore the first part other than to say that it seems to be based on the completely erroneous premise the Copernicus was the one who changed from the flat earth to the Globe.

He wasn't!
Since before 300 BC the Greeks had believed the earth was a Globe and by the first century AD that had become the accepted in the Greek and Roman regions.
A bit after 100 AD Claudius Ptolemy wrote his treatise on the spherical earth at the centre of the celestial spheres - the cosmology of the time.

I don't know when that was first carried into the Arab and Middle Eastern regions but there is no doubt that by a little after 500 AD the geocentric system of Ptolemy was the earth shape accepted there.

I can give you any amount of evidence you like for that. I'll assume that you've read

What Copernicus did was to see that the motions of the planets did not fit well with the Ptolemy's system and proposed his heliocentric system.
Unfortunately it, like Ptolemy's, assumed perfect circles and was no better.

Quote from: Plat Terra
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/dnmd2doh7vgz3d1/Plat%20Terra%20-%20Geocentric%20vs%20Heliocentric.jpg?dl=1)
Your text is correct to the extent that observations, without careful measurements, on earth alone cannot tell the the sun, etc obit the Globe or that the Globe rotates.

That does not mean that that there is no way to distinguish a flat earth from a spherical earth.

But your diagram on the right is totally incorrect. For a start you say "Not possible on a Sphere"!
The shape of the earth would be totally unrelated to whether there might be "ripples".

Then ripples would not be caused by moving without any vibration at any speed.
Have you never flown in a plane at over 600 mph (ground speed) in smooth air - hardly a ripple on your drinks.

There is no reason that something as massive as the earth would shake or wobble enough to cause ripples - unless there are nearby earthquakes.

When will you learn that your failure to understand the Globe is no evidence against Globe.

Why does the Sun's angular size have to change greatly on a Plane Earth?

I already did. You ignored it.
The FE model with the sun orbiting some 5000 km above Earth results in massively different distances to the sun at various times such as mid day and sunset.
This will result in the sun appearing with drastically different sizes.

Why do you just ignore these responses and repeat the same ridiculous question?

In order for the sun to maintain a consistent angular size across Earth, regardless of the time it is viewed, the distance to the sun needs to remain roughly the same.
That means the distance to the sun must be many times the size of Earth.
That would also mean everyone would see the sun in the same apparent direction.

So the only way for that to work on a FE is with an ancient FE model where the sun circles Earth, going below it and having day for everyone on Earth at once.
It would also mean if the sun appeared directly above for one person, it would be basically that for everyone.

Since don't seem to have a FE model, I picked a FE map I found. If your FE map is different, please post it here. If we look at the position of the sun during December Equinox when it's morning in Australia:
Perth (Australia): Morning aprox. 1h after sunrise
New Orleans (US): Evening aprox. 1h before sunset
Buenos Aires (Argentina): Evening aprox. 1h before sunset

This is on the FE map I found:
(https://i.imgur.com/9ytWFDa.png)

If I assume FE sun floating at low height (5000km), we can see New Orleans is much closer to the sun than Buenos Aires. Angular size depends on distance, so the sun should look quite smaller from Buenos Aires, but it doesn't. What is the FE explanation for this?

While you are at it, how is it possible that people from Perth and Buenos Aires see the sun at the same time in December, yet the north pole is in the dark? Shouldn't the sun be closer to the north pole than to either of those two cities?

Great, so if it circles above the flat plane as you claim, why can't you tell us where it is? Since you can't tell us where it is you can't claim with any certainty that it circles in any particular way. In other words, how would you know where the sun goes and how it gets there? You've provided nothing in the way of evidence that you know even the slightest about your 'flat earth mechanics'.

If you think you know the suns path is circular above the plane then why don't you tell us where your sun will be today just before your sunset? I bet you can't do it because you have no idea of it's path whatsoever.

Herein lies the problem. Plat doesn't have a model. The most we know about his non-model is:

- The earth is Flat
- The sun moves in a circle above the flat earth at a height of 3200 miles

That's the whole shooting match. He can't tell us where his Sun is, nor where it goes. He can't tell us the distance between any two points. He knows nothing of the Globe model he's fighting against. It's like he's living in a cave 5000 years ago but somehow has electricity, a computer and a web connection.

Until he can answer any of the rudimentary even mundane questions we have asked, it's impossible to respond.

Yes, the sun has the same angular size at sunrise and sunset, regardless of where you are one Earth, and the same angular size as the sun at any other point in the day.
And as shown, that is not what you would expect for the modern FE model.
Instead you would expect it to change in size significantly.

Why do you keep ignoring this?

Does the Moon move in a straight line in the Globe theory? It's doesn't over this Flat Plane. It circles above. And you leave out a very important element and I understand why.
What important element has been left out?
Certainly not the circling, as that makes no difference.
All that would mean is you would face in a slightly different direction.

This circling above would not magically make the distance remain roughly the same. The distance still varies dramatically as you move to different locations on Earth and observe at different times, failing to match reality.
This circling above would not magically make the object appear to go below or even touch the horizon.

In order to have the sun and moon set you need to have it circle in a plane not parallel to the surface of Earth, e.g. one perpendicular, so it literally goes below.
In order to have them remain roughly the same size, you need the distance to remain roughly the same, which like I have said, means you need to have the distance to them many times the size of Earth.
This would then mean they appear in the same direction to everyone.
Again, this makes reality fundamentally incompatible with a FE.

A RE can explain it.
The angular size remains basically the same, because the distance remains basically the same.
They set, because the rotation of Earth puts them below the horizon.

So why should RE accept defeat when it explains reality so well and FE is completely incapable of explaining it.

You nor anyone one else has been capable of doing so ever since the Globe theory began. You say you have but that means nothing when you have not provided the actually curvature verification and measurements of Earth's landmass and canals showing how it conforms to a 3959 mile radius sphere as claimed.

Yes the theory is not yours nor does it pertain to the length and width of Florida as verified surface curvature, and you have not including the morning horizon  which will have about the same angular size as sunset.   Then what is the difference between sunrise, sunset and Noon?

If anone could understand what did you ask...

Let me try to make some sense out of your sentence:

The morning horizon is not related to the size of Florida, or the percentage of the planet's surface that Florida occupies.

The sunrise and sunset in the Rowbotham's FE model will have the same angular diameter of the Sun, little less than 0.3 degrees.
The solar noon in the Rowbotham's FE model will have the Sun's angular diameter much bigger. Roughly two to three times bigger.

Another difference between sunrise, sunset and noon would be the azimuth of the Sun.

If the earth is flat, like you claim, the reply you're working on should allow us to verify it "for the first time", without the surface of the earth magically rising up, curving, and conforming to a sphere!

You have been shown plenty of evidence for the curvature but you ignore everything or explain it away with nonsense excuses.
Ships becoming hidden behind "something" is very commonly observed and you "it's just humidity" is quite meaningless!

In any case, any failure to easily demonstrate curvature does not prove that the earth is not a sphere.

It wont.
You would have to get rid of a lot of history to be able to be the first person to verify the curvature.
That has been done so many times it isn't funny.
No one makes a big deal about it because they already know Earth is round.

With such an issue and debate of the shape of the Earth, the Globe community could have shut idea down long ago with actually proof
And they did, thousands of years ago.
And then even more evidence was collected over time.

No, it isn't.
If it was you would have easily been able to answer the question.
You wouldn't repeatedly set up pathetic strawmen of RE, or outright lies to pretend there is a problem with a RE. You would have provided actual problems.

So no, Earth is not a plane. It never has been. Earth is round, as indicated by all the available evidence.

Original question.
Why does the Sun's angular size have to change greatly on a Plane Earth?
Show me why.

Since don't seem to have a FE model, I picked a FE map I found. If your FE map is different, please post it here. If we look at the position of the sun during December Equinox when it's morning in Australia:
Perth (Australia): Morning aprox. 1h after sunrise
New Orleans (US): Evening aprox. 1h before sunset
Buenos Aires (Argentina): Evening aprox. 1h before sunset

This is on the FE map I found:
(https://i.imgur.com/9ytWFDa.png)

If I assume FE sun floating at low height (5000km), we can see New Orleans is much closer to the sun than Buenos Aires. Angular size depends on distance, so the sun should look quite smaller from Buenos Aires, but it doesn't. What is the FE explanation for this?

While you are at it, how is it possible that people from Perth and Buenos Aires see the sun at the same time in December, yet the north pole is in the dark? Shouldn't the sun be closer to the north pole than to either of those two cities?

Sunrise and sunset have the same angular size, right?
That is not the point!
If the sun's path were as described on that flat earth diagram the sun should appear about THREE times bigger when overhead than at sunrise or sunset.

Kopfverderber tried to explain it to you in his post and I tried to carefully go into all the detail in For the Trolls Here « Reply #10 on: August 10, 2019, 10:11:09 PM » (https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=82724.msg2194261#msg2194261) but you seemed incapable of understanding what kopfverderber was explaining and you completely ignored my post.

Again, you ignoring what has been proven doesn't mean it hasn't been proven.

As for the next image of nonsense, that doesn't explain what has been asked at all.

If that was what was happening, the sun would appear high in the sky, appearing first as a bright region of fog getting clearer until we can actually see the sun as a clear object.
After that it would appear to get closer, and move faster reaching its maximum speed and size when overhead (or solar noon), before starting to slow down and shrink, until it fades back to a blur of the fog.

This does not match what is observed.
Instead the sun rises from below the horizon, being clearly visible right from the start, it maintains a near constant speed and size as it goes overhead, and then sets below the horizon.
The other important thing it leaves out is light going upwards near sunrise and sunset.

So good job showing the FE does not match reality at all.
Another defeat of FE.

If you wish to disagree, feel free to go over the actual issues people have raised and address them rather than just spouting a collection of nonsense which doesn't match reality at all.

Quote from: Plat Terra
Where Did Our Flat Earth Sun Go?
Understanding our atmosphere will help explain a few things about our Sun.
Water limits what we can see and how far we can see and as a fluid, so does Air. The brightest lights cannot break through a very thick fog bank unless it is close enough to the viewer. As the light gets closer, the fog bank will first be lit up from within like twilight, then as the light source gets even closer, the center beam breaks through and it can be seen making things brighter.

The principle is the same for the beginning of a day on our Plane Earth with the understanding of perspective and a linear atmosphere bank. After the Sun again has made its circle, it begins to light up our atmosphere over the eastern horizon and through thousands of miles of linear atmosphere the viewer can see the first hint of morning, Twilight. As the minutes pass the Sun breaks through at the horizon because now the linear miles the Sun has to shine through atmosphere to reach the viewer have been reduced. As time passes the miles are decreased even more and it gets brighter and warmer and peaks at solar noon.

Due to perspective, the Sun appears to rise and fall from viewpoint, but the Sun remains about 3200 miles above earths surface during it's circular cycle. As the day progresses, the Sun again will reach the west horizon and as the Sun's miles progress even farther away from the viewer, twilight begins again. Then after a few minutes the longer atmosphere bank will cast a shadow of darkness upon the viewer, making it night once again.

That's a nice story but that's all it is - a story.

The start is OK, with "it begins to light up our atmosphere over the eastern horizon and through thousands of miles of linear atmosphere the viewer can see the first hint of morning" but it all goes awry.

You say that, "As the minutes pass the Sun breaks through at the horizon because now the linear miles the Sun has to shine through atmosphere to reach the viewer have been reduced."
But, even at sunrise, your sun is still around 3200 miles above the earth and of the order of 10,000 miles (depending on the season and location) away.
That puts your sun somewhere around 19° above the horizon - that is all perspective can do for you.
Now I'm fully aware that the changing air density can bend light but only by 0.5° of so and in the wrong direction.

So there is no way that your sun can appear near the horizon but it gets worse than that, far far worse!
The real sun seems to be initially below the horizon and rise from behind it.
There is no way that perspective can one object make an object above another appear to be below it and refraction can't help. Remember these?

Nope! Your explanation for the sun's staying exactly the same size is pure guesswork.
I know the atmosphere can refract light slightly when an object like the sun is very close to the horizon but that does not magnify it.

No, Mr Plat Terra, you are the one that is completely wrong here!

You say that "Author", that's ME, "does not include a key element in the argument; thousands of miles of Linear atmosphere and Light refraction."
But there are NO "thousands of miles of Linear atmosphere"! The effective thickness of the earth's atmosphere is no more than the equivalent of about 9 km (of sea-level density air) so even that 45° slanted path is only through no more than 13 km of sea-level.

And even then there has been much research into the refraction of light coming into the atmosphere from the outside:
See Refraction deviation angles for an observer at sea level, M. E. THOMAS AND R. I. JOSEPH (https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/ddb0/c717f703eaa47b57bb4e5147286e98003df8.pdf) See Table 1 at Refraction deviation angles for an observer at sea level, Table 1. (https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Astronomical-Refraction-Thomas-Joseph/b2264b31cdfa2a5ef12427f1a6f91fce982b9c54/figure/1)
From that you will find that at 45° from the zenith the refraction is only about one minute of arc (1/60 degree).
That very informative table will also show that even right on the horizon the usual refraction is only about 34.5' or arc or a bit over 0.5°.

You say "One who leaves out such important issues is being intellectually dishonest and knows better" but, Mr Plat Terra, refraction is a very trivial issue  here.
So, I have not been intellectually dishonest in drawing up that diagram and is essentially the same as the one that you flat earthers use to justify you son's distance above the earth being about 3200 miles.

I'd be careful throwing these accusations about because they might just come back and bite YOU as this one has!

One who falsely accuses another "being intellectually dishonest" should, at the very least, offer an apology - how about it?

Quote from: Plat Terra

Possibly "with the right atmospheric conditions" but the sun rises and sets quite predictably.
And it does not usually seem to "fade away above the horizon through the atmosphere bank." Always, on a clear day, the set just seems to slowly go down behind the western horizon like this:

No it is not! But nobody is obliged to do the particular measurement that YOU ask for!

Measurements of the curvature of the earth have been performed for millennia. Eratosthenes effectively did it.

And astronomers etc did it in the first millennium AD for example:
Here more evidence that the horizon falls below "eye-level" showing that the earth's surface has curvature:

Andrew Eddie found that, from Flaxton Gardens, Queensland (418 m above sea-level), Mount Coolum (208 m above sea-level) lines up with the horizon.
This makes it certain that the horizon is below the local horizontal.
I presented that one because it is only about 111 km from where I live and I have been to Flaxton gardens and have seen Mt Coolum many times.

Any observation like that is observing the earth's curvature and one could calculate the radius of the earth from the altitudes and distance.

The horizon might appear to rise to eye-level, but it does not quite rise to the local horizontal at the viewing point.

Here is more photographic evidence of this:

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/mnck8pnrphfqegf/Andrew%20Eddie%20from%20Flaxton%20Gardens.jpg?dl=1)
Flat Earth? Mountains rising to meet eye-level? Andrew Eddie (https://www.youtube.co/watch?v=0jO6TUfiH8w&feature=youtu.be)

The opening screen does show only 0.523° but that is over a flat surface and at 2:55 the video has a more accurate calculation showing that from an altitude of 418 m the horizon is about 0.626° below eye-level.
That's not all that much less than the horizon Dip of 0.66° given by Metabunk''s Earth's Curve Horizon, Bulge, Drop, and Hidden Calculator (https://www.metabunk.org/curve/).

So the horizon does not rise to eye-level.
And the dip angle of the horizon from a known altitude allows the earth's radius to be calculated.

Wait - what?
Is plata asking for the AVERAGE curvature of a land mass to be measured?
The land masses that vary in heights above sea level due to mountians and valleys and such?

Why does ONE area of land mass require measuring (even though its already been measured)?

What proof do you need (when in north america you clearly see stars different from south america/ south of equator)?

Plenty arguments prove true as mentioned in pg1 thru now.

Why is "There's nothing about that sunset that's "Impossible on a Globe Earth"?  It's doing what a Flat Earth Sun does. It's doing what you claim it can't do on a Globe Earth.

So now you think it's possible for the Sun to fade away above the horizon on a Globe Earth at sunset? Is this correct?
It can easily appear to do that if the original size is made to appear excessively large because of the glare (ie overexposure of the camera around the sun's disc).
Then as the sun approaches the horizon the light passes through more very hazy atmosphere and intensity reduces allowing the true sun's size to show.

Please learn a little about photography before you tackle this sort of thing.

You seem to have forgotten something!
No, Mr Plat Terra, you are the one that is completely wrong here!

You say that "Author", that's ME, "does not include a key element in the argument; thousands of miles of Linear atmosphere and Light refraction."
But there are NO "thousands of miles of Linear atmosphere"! The effective thickness of the earth's atmosphere is no more than the equivalent of about 9 km (of sea-level density air) so even that 45° slanted path is only through no more than 13 km of sea-level.

And even then there has been much research into the refraction of light coming into the atmosphere from the outside:
See Refraction deviation angles for an observer at sea level, M. E. THOMAS AND R. I. JOSEPH (https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/ddb0/c717f703eaa47b57bb4e5147286e98003df8.pdf) See Table 1 at Refraction deviation angles for an observer at sea level, Table 1. (https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Astronomical-Refraction-Thomas-Joseph/b2264b31cdfa2a5ef12427f1a6f91fce982b9c54/figure/1)
From that you will find that at 45° from the zenith the refraction is only about one minute of arc (1/60 degree).
That very informative table will also show that even right on the horizon the usual refraction is only about 34.5' or arc or a bit over 0.5°.

You say "One who leaves out such important issues is being intellectually dishonest and knows better" but, Mr Plat Terra, refraction is a very trivial issue  here.
So, I have not been intellectually dishonest in drawing up that diagram and is essentially the same as the one that you flat earthers use to justify you son's distance above the earth being about 3200 miles.

I'd be careful throwing these accusations about because they might just come back and bite YOU as this one has!

One who falsely accuses another "being intellectually dishonest" should, at the very least, offer an apology - how about it?

You don’t have to be an astronomer, scientist or mathematician to figure somethings out. All you need is to apply common sense with science to find a logical explanation.

With the right atmospheric conditions, one can view the Sun fade away above the horizon through the atmosphere bank. 

Questions:

First off, we were asking, Where did/does your flat earth sun go? Specifically. As in, just before your sunset, where is the sun? How far away is it from you? What part of the world is it over? But you dodged that very basic question in order to make yet another blather of a meme.

So, as you would say, nighttime is caused by a "weather phenomena”? This "atmosphere bank”, this ‘Fog' you speak of? And this atmospheric fog bank is present for every sunset and sunrise for every observer, every time, everywhere on earth? Really? What’s your evidence for such a claim?

What you’re proposing is that, due to perspective, the sun at rise is shrunken but magnified by the atmospheric fog bank to pretty much the exact angular size of a noon day sun. Then as it passes over toward sunset it is shrinking in angular size due to perspective but at the same time been magnified by the atmospheric fog bank to appear to the observer to be the same angular size as a noon day sun?

And this atmospheric fog bank weather phenomena happens, again, for every observer, every time, everywhere on earth?

Why doesn’t this atmospheric fog bank weather phenomena affect other objects all the time, everywhere, that recede from the observer. Why isn’t everything magnified as it goes off into the distance?

How does this account for days where no discernible atmospheric fog bank weather phenomena is present? Or any number of filtered time lapses you’ve been shown where the sun's (or moon) size doesn’t change and remains looking crisp, no refractive distortion whatsoever?

I notice you yet again ignore the issues raised.

Why is "There's nothing about that sunset that's "Impossible on a Globe Earth"?  It's doing what a Flat Earth Sun does. It's doing what you claim it can't do on a Globe Earth.
In what way is what happens in the video impossible on a globe Earth?

You have a very low quality video with serious issues with glare. It is quite difficult to see where the horizon is.

Guess what? On the very real globe Earth, glare is quite well known.

Also, they seem to have cut the footage off a little too late:
(https://i.imgur.com/Q7P13uK.png)
The sun is getting cut off, not fading to a blur or shrinking to a point.

But again, you are completely ignoring what happens on a daily basis with the sun clearly setting below the horizon, and not appearing to change size.

How about you try and address that?

Answered elsewhere. Now show a time-lapse video of the moon setting like that.

This is more like the moon setting that I see:

Even a bit of a mirage very close to the horizon.

Here have fun with this :P:
Quote from: JACINTA BOWLER & TESSA KOUMOUNDOUROS
(https://www.sciencealert.com/this-mindblowing-video-of-the-moon-coming-down-to-earth-is-real-not-photoshopped-and-just-wow)
One minute, you're chilling on a mountain. The next you're being dwarfed by the biggest Moon you've ever seen - one that seems to be coming right down to rest on Earth's surface.

That's what appears to be happening in this video on NASA's Astronomy Picture of The Day (APOD) site for 4 June 2018.

Of course, we all would have totally noticed if our planet's rocky satellite came down like that, ending life as we know it. So, what's going on here?

For starters, check out the full video below, because it's spectacular:


What you're looking at is the view of Mount Teide, a volcano in the Canary Islands - taken through a telescopic lens from really, really far away.

The Moon we're seeing here is known as a 'milk moon' – the first full moon in the month of May. The footage was captured on May 30 by Daniel López.

The people in the video are around 16 kilometres away (10 miles) from the telescope, and funnily enough, they are actually not watching the disappearance of the Moon.

These folks are watching the sunrise, which is happening right behind the photographer. To them, the faint morning Moon wouldn't appear any larger than normal.
Interesting . . . . .

You don’t have to be an astronomer, scientist or mathematician to figure somethings out. All you need is to apply common sense with science to find a logical explanation.

If you are going to talk about light refraction you need to have some understanding of physics, otherwise you will just make a fool of yourself. Your theories don't work with known law of refraction and perspective. That's why you cannot demonstrate your claims, all you can do is more memes.

Once again you prove that you don't have a FE model. All you have is a general idea that the earth is flat with sun and moon hovering over it in circles. Then you explain everything away with weather effects, magic refraction and magic perspective. Your memes do not prove any of your claims. You aren't showing any calculations or demonstrations, just guessing things.

Furthermore your explanations are not consistent with any FE map. During the winter solstice the sun will be visible from Australia and South America at the same time while not visible from the north pole. How is that possible if there are less "miles of lineal atmosphere" from the sun to the north pole? Is air thicker around the north pole but only in December? 

How is it possible for sunset to occur at the same time in New York and Rio de Janeiro if one has many miles less of "lineal atmosphere"  to the sun than the other?

(https://i.imgur.com/TGqQTfn.png)

Your claims can't be taken seriously if you can't even show consistency of  your "miles of lineal atmosphere" with  known times for sunrise and sunset at different locations. For bonus points you could try to  explain 24h sunlight in Antarctica using "miles of lineal atmosphere".

Surface mirages are a common occurrence over oceans and lakes. These mirages block the view of objects with a mirror image of water near the surface. The mirage can be quite tall considering the conditions as seen in the pic below. Even a elevated landmass can be blocked from view.  So when do surface mirages apply to boats thought to be going over an alleged curved?

Have you verified the alleged surface curvature of this Earth to use its alleged circumference as a reference point for sea curve anywhere and for a Globe? If not, why?
Science does not require me to preform every experiment.
Also it’s not proper to answer a question with a question.

It’s proper to know that the person who is trying to teach me has verified the foundation of their belief otherwise what good is their information? I don’t want to be led along blindly. However, if you have, I am willing to learn more and answer your questions. Verification is good science for such a belief as a Globe Earth.
You clearly don’t want to learn anything.

I like a lot of people have seen thing disappear behind the horizon. This is evidence for a round earth.

Yeah and the legs of this man and woman have also disappeared behind the curve. I saw it myself! It's true. Please believe me!

The stars altitude is far above the Sun and they're not blocked by the atmosphere bank as the sun is (from viewer point) past the horizon. So the light of a star passes easily to the viewer through our area from just above the horizon.

This "atmospheric bank" of yours seems to very selective. It only hides things when you need it, ignoring distance and light intensity.  What about the planets.  Are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn  immune to the atmospheric bank as well?

The stars are all viewed within the circle area of the viewers horizon. It's only the Sun and Moon's light (being so low) that get's blocked by the atmosphere bank when's it beyond our circle area.  That's the way it works here on Plane Earth.

- How much lower are the moon and sun in relation to stars and planets?
- How tall is this atmospheric fog bank that supposedly exists everywhere on the planet with the exact same obscuring properties...everywhere?
- How could a star much farther way, on the same angle of sight near the horizon as the sun be seen through the atmospheric fog bank, yet the sun, closer and brighter, is invisible?

Nice hypothesis but as kopfverderber says "This 'atmospheric bank' of yours seems to very selective. It only hides things when you need it, ignoring distance and light intensity."

But that does not fit either because the moon, "Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn" all rise and set exactly as the sun does.

Here is a time-lapse of Venus rising before dawn:

So, maybe it's "the way it works" there on your imaginary "Plane Earth" but it certainly does not work that way on the real world.

I notice that you have yet again changed topic to avoid admitting defeat.
Why is that?

Do you have an explanation for why the sun sets and appears to remain the same size?
Do you have an explanation for why it casts light upwards near sunrise and sunset?

The mirage can be quite tall considering the conditions as seen in the pic below. Even a elevated landmass can be blocked from view.
As I pointed out before, you are yet to substantiate that claim in any way.

Whatever that means. You have some issues to solve, here are some, but I'm sure there are many more:

- The sun is visible from places further away while it's night in places closer to the sun on the flat earth map. You are not addressing this point. Your atmospheric bank works rather inconsistent.
- We see Mercury and Venus before sunrise and after sunset. That's the light of sun reflected by the planets and going through the same atmospheric bank no problem.  Why? The atmospheric bank stops sunlight when it comes directly to us, but not when it's reflected by the planets?
- Atmospheric bank has no effect on stars, even stars near the horizon.
- Atmospheric bank doesn't stop Antarctica from getting midnight sun for months.

Defecting from the Globe or getting kicked out of flat earth groups like Bob Knodell was for supposedly proving the earth rotates etc.

A mirage that blocks the view of Boats, shorelines, landmass, and skylines. I am not sure what the name should be other than a simple surface mirage that reflects a mirror like image of the surface and blocks the view of things.

I made a meme about the issue and placed it here. https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=60834.msg2194730#msg2194730

I don't know because mirages don't block things.  Maybe you should read up on mirages and other atmospheric refractive phenomena before you try using them in an argument.

When do surface mirages apply to boats thought to be going over an alleged curved?
When the relevant conditions exist.  Do you understand what conditions are relevant?

The conditions exist everyday over a body of evaporating water. And that's when people claim to see a boat going over a curve. Am I correct?

You understand that "mirages" vary greatly based on water and air temperature, right?

Have you ever actually been at sea, outside view of land?

My guess is no.

Not quite!
It has little to do with "evaporating water". Humid air has a slightly lower refractive index than dry air but the difference is very slight.
For example:Humidity has very little effect.

The important thing that causes refraction, looming and mirages are the temperature and pressure gradients near the water (or ice) surface.
Water (or ice) colder or warmer than the surface air can cause more or less refraction than normal.
If you do want to learn about refraction etc, here are some reference about atmospheric refraction:
One of the biggest problems claiming "proof" of anything using "curvature" (or lack thereof) is that refraction is very real!
There are numerous references to the various aspects of it from the "Rohan Institute" as in:
          Rohan Institute, Basic Principles for understanding atmospheric refraction phenomena (http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~aty/explain/principles.html)
          Rohan Institute, Ducts (http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~aty/explain/atmos_refr/duct.html)
          Rohan Institute, An Introduction to Mirages (http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~aty/mirages/mirintro.html)

But the usual, or "standard", refraction does not "hide things" but it makes them visible over longer distances.
Hence if a ship appears hidden with standard refraction if would be more hidden if there were no refraction.

Wow, that's a nice flat non curved horizon. Thanks for sharing. I will have to add this to my collection.
This reminds me, since you never answered last time I asked...
Are you saying that when zooming in on a curved line, the curve of the line does not appear to lessen?

Another question you didn't answer:
Along a straight line of sight, things below that line of sight appear to rise to it as distance is increased, and things above it appear to lower to it as distance is increased.  Do you agree with that statement?

Plat tera, have another look at the jeranism video. He claims a lower portion of the boat in the later part of the video is reflection on the water. Go down to your local lake and have a look at how reflections work on water. If the boat were reflected in that water, and it is not, the reflection would clearly show the entire of the white sail to it's tip, not just the beginning. And before you exclaim it was a rough sea, if there were any reflection then the entire reflection would show bits of white on the water.

There is no reflection on that water. The boat is just over the curve, and the seagull is diving low over the water, not into it, obscured by the curve.

Again, such a straight forward question. I was trying to be as benign as possible so you wouldn't run away and hide from even the slightest provocation of a challenge. And you still can't handle it.

Your entire 'thesis' is that every time a boat goes behind the horizon it's because of a superior mirage? That's every time, for every observation ever, everywhere on earth?

When asked, "How do you know a mirage is present at that distance?" you go into cower mode. Why can't you handle even the simplest question? What are you so afraid of? There's no time required to explain your science to me because there is no science to explain.

Plat tera, regarding your "In a plane world" meme, I respectfully disagree with your assessment the elevated landmass is blocked by a mirage.

Mirages occur over heated ground like in a dessert, where the air is cool, but the heated ground heats up a layer of air just above the ground. Light moving through the cool air into the heated air is refracted. Image 2 is late in the afternoon. While it is possible light may be being refracted over hot ground in the distant city, I doubt it. There are other factors worth considering first.

There is different lighting between the two images due to 10 hours difference in time of day. I suspect the direction of East is to the right of frame. This might explain why the bright yellow cliffs seen to the right in image 2 at 5.44pm is in shadow in image 1, at 7.48am, while the distant beach is clearly illuminated. At 5.44pm in image 2, the distant beach is in shadow and the cliffs brightly illuminated.

Secondly, it looks like low tide was in the morning, and high tide late afternoon. Thus in image 2, your shoreline line, should be much higher up, reducing the distant land mass seen.

In image 1, that light blue line of water crossing in front of both land masses, may depict the shoreline on both beaches, but contains a lot of distant water reflecting light blue sky.

It's unlikely the ship would be easily seen at the distant shoreline due to shadowing.

It's a lighthouse and videoed from 6 ft and 100 ft ahove sea-level:

And yes, I too am more curious as to where the FE sun goes than where ships sink. Back on point.
Your atmospheric fog bank 'thesis' just flat out doesn't work. Like non-functioning. Bereft of life. Pushing up daisies, if you will.

- The sun rises and sets with the same angular size as noon day, in order for the magic atmospheric fog bank to magnify it precisely, it would have to do it precisely, every time, for every location, for every person on earth. Show how that is the case.
- No matter how far away your FE sun goes away from you, it would never observably get near the horizon
- No matter how far away your FE sun goes away from you, it would never go below the horizon, disappear for about 12 hours and reappear behind you. No amount of perspective or miraging can hide the sun, like clockwork, every day, for everyone on the planet.

As seen here

They are wrong.  A superior mirage makes things look higher than they really are.  A ship sinking over the horizon would need to be an inferior mirage to make it look lower than it really is.  Inferior mirages generally exhibit heat shimmers and are usually inverted.

Mirages over our Plane Earth are not going to block the truth of our Earth all the time. The evidence is found everywhere. You just have to know where to look. Even a Zoom lens will bring back what was claimed went over the curve. Globe Earth is a mirage.

You wrote. A superior mirage makes things look higher than they really are.

That's exactly what happened. The water looks higher than it actually is thus blocking the shore, landmass and boat.

Thank you!

Mirages over our Plane Earth are not going to block the truth of our Earth all the time.
That's right. But boats that should be hidden by the curve (when taking standard refraction into account), don't magically appear.
Cities hidden behind the curve, remain hidden.
So this shows it isn't a case of Earth being flat and an occasional mirage blocking the view.

Even a Zoom lens will bring back what was claimed went over the curve.
No it wont.
I have never seen a single example of this.
Instead what I see are flatties claiming that, and then showing a boat that is not over the curve appear and disappear based upon the resolution of the camera and the zoom.
No one has ever shown an example of a boat partially obscured by the horizon become less obscured as you zoom in.

Rogers Centre from 6ft above Lake Ontario 30.84 miles away. Alleged curvature should be 516.85 feet of drop. Rogers Centre should not have even been visible!
Good thing it isn't.

But notice one thing which is quite clear?
The shore isn't visible. Plenty of the buildings are hidden.
So thanks for once again showing that Earth is round and cannot possibly be flat.

I assume the rest of your videos are similar?

Now again, why does the sun appear to set?

The following video discusses the upcoming world record 307 Km microwave shot attempt by FECore this week.  Also discussed is the Knickebein system used in WW2 that conclusively proved the flat earth. Awesome information about our Plane Earth.

BATTLE OF THE FLAT EARTH BEAMS

I'll wait with bated breath but I wrote about a 360 km microwave link over 3 years ago so what's this 307 km one all about?

But the following 360 km had the terminals on mountains and was design for the Globe with the 4/3 K-factor that FE-Core include.
Quote
Microwave Transmission - Microwave Radio Relay - Planning Considerations (http://www.liquisearch.com/microwave_transmission/microwave_radio_relay/planning_considerations)
The effects of atmospheric stratification cause the radio path to bend downward in a typical situation so a major distance is possible as the earth equivalent curvature increases from 6370 km to about 8500 km (a 4/3 equivalent radius effect). Rare events of temperature, humidity and pressure profile versus height, may produce large deviations and distortion of the propagation and affect transmission quality. High intensity rain and snow must also be considered as an impairment factor, especially at frequencies above 10 GHz. All previous factors, collectively known as path loss, make it necessary to compute suitable power margins, in order to maintain the link operative for a high percentage of time, like the standard 99.99% or 99.999% used in 'carrier class' services of most telecommunication operators.

The longest microwave radio relay known up to date crosses the Red Sea with 360 km hop between Jebel Erba (2170m a.s.l., 20°44'46.17"N 36°50'24.65"E, Sudan) and Jebel Dakka (2572m a.s.l., 21° 5'36.89"N 40°17'29.80"E, Saudi Arabia).
These long distances can only be achieved with very high antenna positions (on mountain tops - just look where 20°44'46.17"N 36°50'24.65"E, Sudan and 21° 5'36.89"N 40°17'29.80"E, Saudi Arabia are - on quite high mountains. Guess what, the "hump" due to curvature is 2,545 m, but refraction allows a bit more reliable range.

Yes, limited by the curvature of the globe earth. So these designers of microwave links are in on the "big secret" and waste all this money making short links or putting towers up on 2,500 m mountains! The number in this conspiracy grows! Everywhere you look little bits or evidence crop up that just do not fit on a flat earth.
Just look at: Designing microwave radio links They remain the preferred backhaul choice for public safety radio networks (http://urgentcomm.com/mag/radio_designing_microwave_radio)

The guy in the video you linked says that the test will be from the coast of England to the coast of the Netherlands at a distance of 301 km. But on the FECORE site it says the test is from the coast of England to the coast of the Netherlands at a distance of 148 km.

Does the guy in the video have the tower heights right if he got the distance wildly wrong?

Also, it's not just the 'link' that's important, it's the throughput. So it will be interesting to see if they address that.

I've gone through all of FECORE's test results before. Simply not impressed, just a bunch of noise really. Check it out for yourself. With the membership fees and livecasting fees, etc., doesn't really seem very scientific at the end of the day. Just seems like a way for Jeran and Bob to perform a cashectomy on unsuspecting FEr's.

Seven flat earth videos in one post, plat tera! And one being a jeranism video! Boy, you've really brought out the heavy artillery!

1st vid - aside from high refractive index that day, the close photo at end of video shows how much of the bottom of the city is hidden from the greater distance view due to earth curvature. Thanks!  ;D

2nd vid - those lighthouse heights and visibility distances with the earth curve calculator, and being over water where refraction is more likely, factor in the refractive index, and what happens to light as it passes through fog, as to why the light from these lighthouses can be seen from such distances on a curved earth. Do the same with the cathedrals, and remember atmospheric conditions can bend light. Thanks!   ;D

3rd vid -  not enough info on distance from camera, but if the ship is not sinking, the Earths natural curvature would explain why the lower hull of the vessel is hidden behind the water line. Thanks!  ;D

4th vid - the weatherman does a great job explaining how the inversion of cold air over the lake and warmer layer of air above, bends light and the superior mirage works. I love how nobody explains why it is bullshit, and just presses a big red bullshit buzzer for no reason whatsoever! Thanks for the video!  ;D

5th vid - a "high" five video. When not trying to prove the earth is flat, these "enthusiasts" are enthusiastically smoking weed. But I digress. The fat boy slim impersonator holding the full length mirror is flashing sunlight up over the water where there is likely a high refractive index already, and the already bent light from the viewers helps us see the large mirror reflecting sunlight. Another great video about refraction from the high five team! Yay!  ;D

6th vid - is this what dementia patients do on long flights when they get bored? There is no reference of his height, longitude or lattitude, and same of the great lakes, thus the distance away of land he is recording. It's meaningless marvellings from an old guy who likes to film in infra red and jazz it up with a bit of music.  ;D

7th vid - 121 000 feet is only 36.8 kilometers. Certainly not high enough to see earth curvature, as the vid shows, but the video looks like it's taken a lot higher. Insufficient info about this vid - sorry.  ::)

Would you like to give us a hint as to why the Earth from moon photo 1966 is suspect?  :D

Rogers Centre from 6ft above Lake Ontario 30.84 miles away. Alleged curvature should be 516.85 feet of drop. Rogers Centre should not have even been visible according to your 3959 miles radius Earth.

So, what is the new larger size Earth to match the video? And you have to recalculate everything including gravity and the entire heliocentric system.

YOUR HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM.  But you will ignore it and explain it away and say I am wrong.

Actually, one will notice that Rogers Center, in that video, appears to have a flat roof, even though it is domed.  The observation deck of the CN tower is also only halfway up even though it is actually about 2/3 of the way up.  What is happening here, is the CN tower appears 'sunken' beyond the horizon due to curvature, and the Rogers Center appears with a flat top because it is below the horizon and refraction makes it appear 'flattened'.  There is also some mirage occurring.  Anyways, nice proof of the globe there.  You have a major problem.

Can you answer my previous two questions?

Strange way to yet again dodge an issue that has big implications for your world view. But fine, whatever. When challenged, you never stand up to it, just slink away and toss out an unrelated meme as a diversion. It's beyond expected at this point, and has been from almost day one, that you are not to be taken seriously. Thanks for reaffirming that.

Cikljamas, the great Moon Hoax "expert" posted that (with his comments over it) as proof NASA lies ::).

Are you ready for the elephants yet? Think map and horizon rising to eye-level.
The issue is the pic you first posted.  It's  fake! But we know you like to muddy the waters.
I see no reason why the first or second photos are fake.  So if you disagree I'd like to know why either might be a fake
You're simply saying "It's a fake" is meaningless - we need evidence or at least sound reasons!

The last photo was from a "anti-NASA" video by NASA hater, Cikljamas, and he post "Photoshopped" images to prove NASA "Photoshops" photos ;D!

AND you dare talk about "muddy the waters" when it's all you do with your silly meaningless misleading memes.

Mirages over our Plane Earth are not going to block the truth of our Earth all the time. The evidence is found everywhere. You just have to know where to look. Even a Zoom lens will bring back what was claimed went over the curve. Globe Earth is a mirage.

Rogers Centre from 6ft above Lake Ontario 30.84 miles away. Alleged curvature should be 516.85 feet of drop. Rogers Centre should not have even been visible!

Here's a screenshot, would you please point out where any of the Rogers Centre can be seen?

I don't know Toronto but I thought it looked like the white building to the left of the CN tower:
(https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/08/09/09/47/toronto-2613955_1280.jpg)
And a big part of the CN tower seem have got lost. I wonder where it went? Maybe it sunk?

This site might explain where those things went to: Views of Toronto from Hamilton and Fort Niagara Illustrate Earth's Curvature (https://www.metabunk.org/views-of-toronto-from-hamilton-and-fort-niagara-illustrate-earths-curvature.t8149/).
Or if you can put up with the language, Debunking Flat Earth Theory Using Jenna Fredo's Rogers Centre video (https://m.youtube.co/watch?v=plb5VJ_JHC0).

I don’t know if you have heard of FECore International
I have.
They like lying for FE.

No actual evidence for a FE ever provided.
No problem with RE ever provided.

And I notice you still avoid the problem of the sun.
Tell us, how does it set?
How does it remain the same size throughout the day, and regardless of where you are on Earth?

Rogers Centre from 6ft above Lake Ontario 30.84 miles away.
Where?

YOUR HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM.
Nope, that would still be you.
You are still yet to show any problem with a RE, while providing plenty of evidence against a FE.
If Earth was flat, it wouldn't just be the skyline that is visible. You would see all the way to the shore.

The issue is the pic you first posted.  It's  fake! But we know you like to muddy the waters.
Based upon what?
You not understanding how light works?

It seems the real issue is that you claim to have defeated RE, but can't come up with a single sound argument against a RE, nor any evidence against it.

Even this picture is Fake.
Yes, this picture, fabricated by someone who wants to pretend NASA is a hoax, is fake.
It shows just how great their position is.
When they can't find any actual photos with problems, they just lie and make them up, because they care more about promoting the idea that NASA is a hoax than they care about the truth; kind of like all your arguments against a RE.

Seven flat earth videos in one post, plat tera! And one being a jeranism video! Boy, you've really brought out the heavy artillery!

1st vid - aside from high refractive index that day, the close photo at end of video shows how much of the bottom of the city is hidden from the greater distance view due to earth curvature. Thanks!  ;D




Rogers Centre from 6ft above Lake Ontario 30.84 miles away. Alleged curvature should be 516.85 feet of drop. Rogers Centre should not have even been visible according to your 3959 miles radius Earth.

So, what is the new larger size Earth to match the video? And you have to recalculate everything including gravity and the entire heliocentric system.

YOUR HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM.  But you will ignore it and explain it away and say I am wrong. 

And that was just a reply to number 1.

No major problem from my end, plat tera, and I don't ignore anything. Care to take a feather out of my cap? Not a larger size earth is required, just the same size one we are on.

516.85 feet of drop translates to 157 meters.

That tower at the Roger's Centre stands an impressive 553.3 meters tall. (Over half a kilometre) No problem seeing 396 meters of the tower from 30.84 miles away using the earth curve calculator whatsoever.

But how much more can we expect to see using the refraction index? We don't know what the refraction over lake ontario was on the day the photo was taken, but let's use a standard atmospheric refraction calculator for 30.84 miles at 6 foot height, and we can see an additional 33 meters.

That means we should be seeing about 429 meters of the tower at the Roger's Centre from the top down. Being the viewing range is over a lake, that refraction would be even more.

That looks about right to me, wouldn't you agree, plat tera? When you compare the two photos with the distant one showing the lower portion of the cityscape hidden behind water as opposed to the closer photo where you can see the base of the buildings......

You can thank me later  ;)

FEcore is nothing more pseudo-science front for a group of Flat Earthers.

Quote from: Plat Terra
Also discussed is the Knickebein system used in WW2 that conclusively proved the flat earth.
You might explain how the Knickebein system "conclusively proved the flat earth"!
Quote
Knickebein did use two transmitters, both essentially refined versions of Lorenz with much greater accuracy, a few hundred meters at the maximum range of the system, which was limited by the line of sight.
The German Heinkel bombers flew at about 15,000 feet which would make the line of sight over the Globe a bit over 160 miles (261 km).

The range of the Knickebein system was about 250 km. I wonder why?

No, "the Knickebein system used in WW2" does not "conclusively prove the flat earth".

George Airy and Michelson and Morely didn't get the answer they expected and helped lead Einstein on his Pathway to Realtivity.

Plat tera, do you have any evidence for a "walled mirage"? I know about superior mirages and inferior mirages. But I mean, what is a walled mirage? Is it another name for a wall of water?

If it is, then another name for a walled mirage in your creative meme, is "curvature of the Earth".

Your walled mirage is a wall of water from the lake's surface being curved, blocking out the lower portion of that cityscape showing the tower at the Rogers centre. If anything, I bet there's a superior mirage at play, which enables more of the cityscape to be seen on this occasion than other occasions.

Just out of general curiosity, I'll dig up some other photos of that cityscape from 30.84 miles away at 6 foot height, with different atmospheric conditions, and we'll see if more or less of the cityscape is hidden behind a wall of water than in your meme photos......

Oh, and in your meme, in your bottom right image, there isn't any mirage blocking the distant shoreline. The distant shoreline is in shadow and reduced due to high tide, and the camera settings don't enable the camera to pick up as much detail as when that shoreline is in direct sunlight as from the morning sun.

I take my hat off to you for creativity, plat tera. If you are the inventor of "walled mirages", you may be in the running for not a Nobel prize, but a Knodel prize, courtesy of Bob Knodel!

BTW, it's a linear mirror image of waters' surface that's above the surface of the water like a superior mirage. Or like a mirror image of a surface that's above the surface of ground. It blocks the view of things behind it. It happens over water and land.

Yeah, and you trust the media.

And I notice the Rogers Center is not included, but is in regular photographs. Wonder why? Because it should be below the curve, but it's not.

So, what's the new size of Earth?

Its always funny how flat earthers prove themselves wrong. Like by using the word 'perspective'.

Clearly as objects are farther away, they look smaller. Perspective. But when the subject is about the some, well, then some magic must happen (as the angular size of the sun does not change during a day).

This is the most important thread on this forum "Curvature", and the opposition is still taking swings and nothing more. And they know the angular size of the sun has already been addressed. But I can't make the opposition believe the facts of our Plane Earth.

So you say, but you have to post a video with admitted anomalous refraction, what you claim is a mirage and massive heat haze to possibly show some unknown building!
Why should anyone waste their time on a video under conditions like that?

PS The earth is still very close to being a sphere that gas been accurately mapped and you don't even have a map! ;D

Yeah, you like to muddy the waters, but the facts and measurements according to your 3959 mile radius proves you are WRONG. The Rogers Centre cannot be seen from 30.84 MILES AWAY on your fake globe. You're the opposition and will say anything to your advantage TO IGNORE AND CONTINUE THE LIE. I don't have to post any video, the facts speak for themselves. You just need to get a new job!

None of that matters. You are deflecting because you are wrong.  The Rogers center being visible destroys you Globe theory with a 3959 mile radius.  What is your new Earth's Radius and the size of the new Heliocentric theory? The foundation for your current theory has been destroyed. So what's the new one?

Plat tera, do you have any evidence for a "walled mirage"? I know about superior mirages and inferior mirages. But I mean, what is a walled mirage? Is it another name for a wall of water?

If it is, then another name for a walled mirage in your creative meme, is "curvature of the Earth".

Your walled mirage is a wall of water from the lake's surface being curved, blocking out the lower portion of that cityscape showing the tower at the Rogers centre. If anything, I bet there's a superior mirage at play, which enables more of the cityscape to be seen on this occasion than other occasions.

Just out of general curiosity, I'll dig up some other photos of that cityscape from 30.84 miles away at 6 foot height, with different atmospheric conditions, and we'll see if more or less of the cityscape is hidden behind a wall of water than in your meme photos......

Oh, and in your meme, in your bottom right image, there isn't any mirage blocking the distant shoreline. The distant shoreline is in shadow and reduced due to high tide, and the camera settings don't enable the camera to pick up as much detail as when that shoreline is in direct sunlight as from the morning sun.

I take my hat off to you for creativity, plat tera. If you are the inventor of "walled mirages", you may be in the running for not a Nobel prize, but a Knodel prize, courtesy of Bob Knodel!

The mirage is the least of your major problems. The Rogers Centre is visible and shouldn't be according to a 3959 mile radius. Again, since the Centre is visible what is the new size of your Earth and Heliocentric theory? It does not match your current one.

BTW, it's a linear mirror image of waters' surface that's above the surface of the water like a superior mirage. Or like a mirror image of a surface that's above the surface of ground. It blocks the view of things behind it. It happens over water and land.

Another Plat fail. I've lost count. Try harder Plat. There's no "walled mirage" that's going to get you out of this.

Perspective doesn't work that way. We see you are ID. You make my points quite clear.

Thank you!

I never mentioned perspective. So how does or doesn't perspective work when perspective is irrelevant to the fact that there is no 'walled mirage' that you totally made up and that a quarter of your CN Tower is missing? Where did it go?

By the way, did you ever figure out the distance between two points and perhaps where your Sun is? You know, like where it goes at night. I bet you still haven't. Sad.

Especially when you need to invent this magical "walled mirage" to "prove your case". You really must be desperate.
If you need special weather conditions it's useless as evidence. I believe you said that.

So toss you Rogers Center evidence, toss you balloon photos or better still toss your long debunked flat earth dreams.

It really doesn't matter if you can't reason because at the end of the day science and observation win, but it helps to prove it to yourself Earth is not a sphere.

The observation of Rogers Centre from almost 31 mile away destroys the Globe Earth foundation theory with a 3959 mile radius because is shouldn't be seen, but be below the curve. So, if Earth is still a sphere what is the new radius and circumference of Earth and the size of the new Heliocentric theory with corrected gravitational fields?

The foundation for your current theory has been destroyed. So what's the new one?

If FE had any interest in researching the issue they would take pictures from the same spot for a period of time and show the sequence. Instead they wait for the mirage to happen and take the picture only then. Mirage hunting is not going to disprove the globe, but I guess that's good enough for someone making a living on some silly FE youtube channel.

There are tons of pictures from the same spot where the Rogers center can't be seen. The distortion on your video pretty much confirms the mirage:
(https://i.imgur.com/TmNRBCC.jpg)

Mirages aren't going to disprove the globe, but the are confusing enough for FE'ers like you to hide behind them and avoid answering all the difficult questions:
- You didn't provide any valid explanation for the sun not getting smaller as it gets further away. Showing a picture of a glass of water doesn't prove anything.
- You didn't prove your atmospheric fog theory, neither showed it to work consistently.
- You have no explanation for the shadow of mount Rainier under the clouds
- You can't explain sunrise and sunset
- Heck, you don't even know where the sun or the moon are or have a working map of the earth.
- You cant explain convincingly what makes ships disappear behind the horizon or why is half of Toronto missing in your videos.
- You can't explain why the horizon is below eye level.
 
The list of things you can't answer goes on and all you have is some pictures of mirages, creationist misconceptions  and lots of magical thinking.

You yourself claimed there is a mirage wall that hides the bottom part of the skyline. And your images do look rather 'miragey'. Hence why you can see a deformed top of the Rogers Center.

But from the same distance, on a non-miragey day, you can't see the Rogers Center at all as predicted by a curved earth. And a big chunk of the bottom of the CN Tower is obscured by the curve. Go figure:

So, if Earth is still a sphere what is the new radius and circumference of Earth and the size of the new Heliocentric theory with corrected gravitational fields?

I want to know NOW!

You yourself claimed there is a mirage wall that hides the bottom part of the skyline. And your images do look rather 'miragey'. Hence why you can see a deformed top of the Rogers Center.

But from the same distance, on a non-miragey day, you can't see the Rogers Center at all as predicted by a curved earth. And a big chunk of the bottom of the CN Tower is obscured by the curve. Go figure:

Now, where is your Sun right now?

You don't matter. The Rogers Centre cannot be observed on a 3959 mile radius Earth from almost 31 miles away. Whats the new calculation of your sphere theory?

Why not? What is your calculation in the FE model?

I see a super miragey version of the top of the Rogers Center in that one image. I don't see it at all in the other two I provided where the atmospheric conditions seemed to be far more normal - less miragey. And I see a wall of water, not a mirage wall, obscuring a bunch of the lower skyline of Toronto. Where did that wall of water come from? Must be a Tsunami on Lake Ontario.

You have bigger problems than mirages. The fact that the Centre can be observed destroys your world. Deflecting with mirages and other things will not save you. You can't win. It's impossibly considering the issues. But you free to live in a fantasy if you like.

It really doesn't matter if you can't reason because at the end of the day science and observation win, but it helps to prove it to yourself Earth is not a sphere.

And your claim a building of completely the wrong shape that seems visible under conditions obviously likely to cause extra refraction, looming, and mirages is totally unreliable!

Those conditions with warm air (remember the heat haze) over cool water are exactly those that lead to this sort of unusual observation.

That hardly speaks to the issue at hand that you invoke mirages everywhere to somehow explain ships disappearing over a horizon and Suns setting and rising and city skylines obscured by an earth curve induced wall of water. Yet when you present a deformed and distorted roof of an arena that should normally be obscured you claim no mirage. And then when shown other images where a wall of water is clearly obscuring the bottom of the skyline, no mirage present nor required, you cave and can't see your way clear to actually addressing the contradiction.

I think it's plain to see that you have lost the thread and have retreated. Losing is tough. When you find your Sun let us know.

Your failure to understand refraction isn't a surprise, your refusal to answer all the other questions isn't a surprise neither. The fact that you think you can prove RE wrong with a single picture of Toronto in a hot day only shows how delusional you are.

Refraction and superior mirages have been explained to you several times in this thread. Several posters have explained why the image of Roger Center is caused by light refraction. If you think those explanations are wrong then show where they are wrong. Your baseless claims don't prove anything.

Ok, maybe you weren't making a joke, my bad. But Jeran's 2.99 app is a joke.

Yes let's compare the models, 'sphere earth' and 'flat earth'! despite the fact that there is no single FE model, just look around and compare what you can observe with the sphere model, like sunset/moonset, rise, eclipses, phases, planets etc.

You will find they all are consistent with the 'sphere model'. The sphere model describes the nature around us REALLY good.

Let me know if you have seen something that you think is inconsistent with the globe model.

No, I didn't say "FE is based in globe". I have always just found it ironic that the main FE model uses a Globe projection map at it's core. Maybe you just don't get irony.

No, I didn't say, "Too easy". Just that the whole marketing scheme/videos and stuff behind the app make it seem like this has never been done before. If you want to give Jeran $2.99 for something that I can get from timeandate.com and myriad other places for free, that's your business.

No, I didn't say, "Monopole don't work!" Well, I kind of did, admittedly. But I know it and you know it and we don't have to get into the million ways that's true right here right now.

The problem your missing is that this thread has no known model, so no, it doesn't directly answer the query.

But Stash wasn't asking for a semi-official, FES view on where the sun is. He was asking Plat Terra to say where he personally thought the sun was, and I am sure you know that. This website's own front page states that the views of its "free thinker" members are "widely varied"; it is legitimate  for Stash to have asked one of those members to explain his personal explanation for the movement of the sun. As a reader of the thread, I would find that personal explanation more interesting than your deflection.

So shall we let Plat Terra answer the question?

The opposition here denies the facts of a Plane Earth. Why?
Because it isn't a fact.
If it was, in the picture you keep providing, you would see all the way to the shore.
You are posting evidence which refutes a FE.

You have ran away from issues which refute a FE, repeatedly playing dumb, and then when it is clearly explained, you just ignore it and run.

It really doesn't matter if you can't reason because at the end of the day science and observation win
That's right, and science and observation results in one firmly concluding that Earth is round, as that is what all the evidence supports.

(https://i.imgur.com/YqbniZm.png)
Do you not notice the difference between those 2?
Does the one on the left look anything like the rogers centre?
NO!
Again, if Earth was flat, you should see the nice curved roof and all the way down to the ground.
The fact you don't is strong evidence against a FE.

You want to appeal to a magical mirage just magically blocking the view, while at the same time, ignoring the very real properties of refraction which allows one to see significantly further than estimated by just considering the curvature alone.

Perspective doesn't work that way.
And just why doesn't it?
Just how do you think it should work?
The objects are far enough away that they can be approximated with the small x approximation, and thus you can just scale down an image to produce how large the object should be.

It seems that makes it quite clear that it can't be your magical mirage hiding it due to the extreme angle required, so now you make up some other excuse to save your failed model.

Now, care to try explaining why the sun appears to set?

No. It directly shows where the sun would be over on a Flat Earth Monopole model and answers your query of "where is the sun right now???"
And completely fails to match observation.
For example, it gets the direction of the sun completely wrong in the south during the southern summer.
It also fails at the equinox.

So I would say it is still your turn.
Give us a model, which actually matches observations.

Your turn. Show us a Round Earth model of the sun that is based on RET rather than historic patterns.
There are plenty that exist, for example:
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/sunearth.html
https://www.suncalc.org/

You can even do it yourself.
If you want one which roughly works, you can estimate the current inclination based upon a simple sine or cosine and estimate the position above Earth where the sun is based upon the time and a 24 hour period, and then determine the direction based upon spherical geometry.

To make it more accurate you can consider the eccentricity of the orbit, the actual rotation rate, the effect of the inclination, the effect of the moon and if you really want the precession of the orbit.

The app doesn't make sunrise direction predictions. It shows the location of the Sun over a Monopole model. The direction of the sun in relation to the map is generally consistent with what is seen during the day, however.

The East/West sunrise/sunset direction is part of the same explanation for why the sun does not change size and is discussed at https://wiki.tfes.org/Equinox#A_Flat_Earth_Equinox

Plat tera, do you have any evidence for a "walled mirage"? I know about superior mirages and inferior mirages. But I mean, what is a walled mirage? Is it another name for a wall of water?

If it is, then another name for a walled mirage in your creative meme, is "curvature of the Earth".

Your walled mirage is a wall of water from the lake's surface being curved, blocking out the lower portion of that cityscape showing the tower at the Rogers centre. If anything, I bet there's a superior mirage at play, which enables more of the cityscape to be seen on this occasion than other occasions.

Just out of general curiosity, I'll dig up some other photos of that cityscape from 30.84 miles away at 6 foot height, with different atmospheric conditions, and we'll see if more or less of the cityscape is hidden behind a wall of water than in your meme photos......

Oh, and in your meme, in your bottom right image, there isn't any mirage blocking the distant shoreline. The distant shoreline is in shadow and reduced due to high tide, and the camera settings don't enable the camera to pick up as much detail as when that shoreline is in direct sunlight as from the morning sun.

I take my hat off to you for creativity, plat tera. If you are the inventor of "walled mirages", you may be in the running for not a Nobel prize, but a Knodel prize, courtesy of Bob Knodel!

The mirage is the least of your major problems. The Rogers Centre is visible and shouldn't be according to a 3959 mile radius. Again, since the Centre is visible what is the new size of your Earth and Heliocentric theory? It does not match your current one.

BTW, it's a linear mirror image of waters' surface that's above the surface of the water like a superior mirage. Or like a mirror image of a surface that's above the surface of ground. It blocks the view of things behind it. It happens over water and land.

(https://i.imgur.com/XNBzPFh.jpg)

Well, you're right about one thing, plat tera - the mirage is the least of my problems. But the mirage is a big problem for your flat earth proof.   :-[

I explained in my last post how and why the Rogers Centre can be visible at that distance over lake water on a spherical earth with radius of 3959 miles, and other members have explained the same in much greater detail for you.

So tell me, is "linear mirror image of water's surface", your made up term, or a Jeranism made up term? It's make believe and is not like a superior mirage at all. Here's why:

There are only two types of mirage. Inferior and Superior. The inferior mirage is caused by heated ground which creates a layer of heated air just above the surface, which is much hotter than cooler air above. (You've provided a great inferior mirage photo with the two men in the photo above. Thanks!  :D) Inferior mirages create the illusion of shimmering sky blue on the ground, which is what happens on hot roads or desert sands where dehydrated and weary travellers mistake what they are seeing as salvation with an oasis of water ahead.

A superior mirage is the opposite. It's created by a layer of cold air above a surface, like water in a lake, with hotter air above. Superior mirages bring images up, while inferior mirages bring images (sky blue) down.  Your cityscape photo is a classic example of a superior mirage.

The app doesn't make sunrise direction predictions. It shows the location of the Sun over a Monopole model.
And you can then use those to determine where the sun should appear at a given location (i.e. the direction to the sun) and compare that to reality.
It fails repeatedly.

The direction of the sun in relation to the map is generally consistent with what is seen during the day, however.
No it doesn't.
The azimuth matches fairly well at mid day, but the elevation is wrong.
The azimuth matches quite poorly away from mid day and the elevation is still wrong.

It is generally inconsistent with what is actually observed.

The East/West sunrise/sunset direction is part of the same explanation for why the sun does not change size and is discussed at https://wiki.tfes.org/Equinox#A_Flat_Earth_Equinox
Which doesn't work at all. And doesn't have the equinox being special in any way.
It relies upon only a tiny portion of Earth being illuminated at any given time, rather than roughly half.
Where for example, you would only see the sun if it was above a location some 10s of km away.
But even then, it would still only appear due east for the people along the path of the sub-solar point.
For those north or south, it wouldn't. And it wouldn't appear to rise at all.
And of course, it would mean most regions would be in darkness for months, only getting sunlight for a brief period each day for a few days. Other regions would always be in darkness.

What you actually need to explain the due east sunrise (without appealing to magic) is for the sun to be in basically the same direction for all those along a line of longitude. That would mean that the sun is very far away and illuminating a very large region.

As I have shown elsewhere, simple trig shows this to be the case.
Lets consider a time where for one line of longitude it is roughly due east, and for the opposite line it is roughly due west. (Which does occur)
Lets look at the 2 points on the equator, and assume that it is 1 degree off.
So for a point 10000 km away from the centre it is 1 degree north of due east, and for the other point it is 1 degree north of due west.
This results in an isosceles triangle (the other point being the sun), with the equal angle being 89 degrees, and the base being 20 000 km.
This makes the height tan(89 deg)*10 000 km =~ 570 000 km.

That puts it well off Earth.

So no, that excuse of just illuminating a tiny region simply doesn't work.

Likewise, for the exact same problems, with the required region of illumination, it not changing size doesn't work.

Sure, if the sun was at an altitude of roughly 5000 km and was only visible when the sub-solar point was within 10 km, it would appear roughly the same size.
That would also mean it would only every appear high in the sky, basically straight up. Never rising or setting.

What you need is for the sun to appear to go near the horizon, i.e. rise and set. But if the sun remains at roughly 5000 km, this requires it to be very far away horizontally.
This then results in a massive difference in the distance to the sun and thus a massive difference in the apparent size.

You are quite happy using cars and jet skis to pretend that the sun should rise due east, but you then completely ignore that they start off tiny and change size dramatically.

So no actual answer there.

So again, we have FE completely unable to explain the apparent direction to the sun nor why it remains roughly the same size, nor why it appears to rise and set.
Meanwhile, we have a RE model which is capable of accurately predicting the apparent direction to the sun, and which explains why it remains roughly the same size and why it appears to rise and set.

So why should REers be accepting defeat? It sure seems like FEers should be.

Your further queries about exact positioning has more to do with a fallacious assumption that we can see infinitely and forever into the distance without any physical modification of sight, practically relying on your own imagination for how the world should be without any demonstration of that matter.

No it doesn't, not in the slightest.
Instead it is entirely to do with when the sun is observed and how far away the various models indicate it should be.

If it's even accurate, which no one has verified yet, it shows where the sun is on a particular projection of a Globe earth that was co-opted by early FE proponents.

And that fits with the Wiki in Tom's TFES.org:
Quote
Sun
(https://wiki.tfes.org/images/thumb/3/33/SarahSun2.gif/300px-SarahSun2.gif)  The sun is a revolving sphere. It has a diameter of 32 miles and is located approximately 3000 miles above the surface of the earth.

And it also has this:
Quote
Distance to the Sun
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
  “ Eratosthenes' model depends on the assumption that the earth is a globe and that the sun is far away and therefore produces parallel rays of light all over the earth. If the sun is nearby, then shadows will change length even for a flat earth. A flat earth model is sketched below. The vertical stick casts shadows that grow longer as the stick moves to the left, away from the closest point to the sun. (The sun is at height h above the earth. ”
(https://wiki.tfes.org/images/4/40/Flatrth.png)
  “ A little trigonometry shows that ”
                 (https://wiki.tfes.org/images/f/f4/Flateqn.png)
  “ Using the values 50 degrees and 60 degrees as measured on the trip, with b=1000 miles, we find that h is approximately 2000 miles. This relatively close sun would have been quite plausible to the ancients.

Continuing the calculation, we find that a is approximately 2400 miles and the two distances R1 and R2 are approximately 3000 and 3900 miles, respectively. ”

There is no other way to get a distance for the sun. Just looking at it from a single point on earth will not tell you its distance, you must look at it from several points and account for the curvature or non-curvature of the distance between those points.
NoW, the calculation of the sun's height above assumes light travels in straight lines but in this post Tom claims it is "a fallacious assumption that we can see infinitely and forever into the distance without any physical modification of sight".
Your further queries about exact positioning has more to do with a fallacious assumption that we can see infinitely and forever into the distance without any physical modification of sight, practically relying on your own imagination for how the world should be without any demonstration of that matter.

The assumptions in calculating the direction of the sun on that model are exactly the same as in the calculation of the sun's height in that Wiki entry.

Might I remind you that the topic is "When will RE Community Accept Defeat?"
So you and Plat Terra should be giving reasons why the "RE Community" might "Accept Defeat".

But neither you nor Plat Terra have given any reasons why we might doubt that the true shape of the earth is almost exactly spherical.

Plat Terra has simply given numerous things that he fails to understand how the Globe "works".

You, on the other hand, simply side-step every question asked and ask us to explain.

So neither of you have given the slightest reason why the "RE Community" might "Accept Defeat".
I fail to see you point in even posting in this thread.
At least Plat Terra has attempted to follow his OP but your posts have been nothing but continual evasion.

A superior mirage can happen with any surface on this Plane Earth. It can happen with water or land. The surface will rise up and mask anything in the distance. If a building or boat is off in the distance, it will be masked and didn’t go over an imaginary curve. It was either blocked by the mirage or sailed into it and blended in. Boats’ going over a curve is just an illusion and a silly argument.

You're not entirely mistaken, plat tera. A superior mirage can happen on most planes on plane ol Earth.

However, as you will see from your own excellent examples of superior mirages, (which typically occurs over water) the water line stays crisp, while the cityscape as in your example, is all shimmering and distorted.

If the water were the mirage, blocking view of the city behind, the cityscape behind would be in sharp focus and the water shimmering. Unfortunately for your flat earth proof, the opposite is true.

Say it to yourself as you go to sleep, tonight, plat tera, "Mirages shimmer".   8)

I told you to learn some physics before making your theories. Your post is nonsense.

In a superior mirage light bends down, I repeat in case you missed it, light bends DOWN. The object is then seen above you because of the earths curvature.

In FE that is obviously not possible, so how does a superior mirage work in FE? Can you describe the light path?

And light is blocked by objects. How does a mirage block the image of the ship as you claim? you think light blocks light? what you would see in your fantasy refraction is a blended image of sea and ship.

I looked around for additional Toronto skylines and found a few. They all had similar results. Giving FE the benefit of the doubt, these were all taken from an observer height of 6' or higher. As well, the CN tower sits 25 feet above lake level which is not depicted. The water in them all looks surprisingly un-miraged.

So the question remains for FE, where's the shoreline and where's the bottom of the tower? On a flat plane we should see both, yet they are distinctively absent.

In the RE superior mirage light bends down. That allows light to go over the curvature and reach the observer. Without curvature, light bending down would hit the ground or the surface of the sea, maybe the fish would see it, but not an observer sitting at same or higher altitude.

So how does the superior mirage work in FE? Could you please describe how is light bending and what is causing it, a diagram would help.

You also don't explain why the refraction makes the surface rise up and not the ship or the buildings or how can a mirage completely block the sight of the ships or buildings, what's stopping the light from coming through? And how can that possibly work consistently for every situation and for all observers looking from different altitudes and for every weather situation.

It just doesn't make any sense. What you are saying doesn't look possible and it doesn't even match what others FE say, I think you have misunderstood something. This is what others FE say, maybe you need to do some more research:

So go to these places and recreate it, but rather than just using a camera, use a theodolite so you can measure the angle of elevation.
If what you are saying is true, you would need to have this mirage go to a high angle of elevation to obscure the object.

It works in the same way. Light bends down. The key thing to remember is that the light from an object goes out in basically all directions except those blocked by the object.

e.g., for a RE:
(https://i.imgur.com/UtECqAS.png)
The direct light path (blue) would go through Earth, but the refracted one (purple) would curve downwards.
Note that the curved light path is going out at a higher angle than the direct light path and appears at a higher angle, making the object look higher.

For a hypothetical and purely fictional FE:
(https://i.imgur.com/duRGQJ5.png)
Effectively the exact same thing.
The refracted light path goes out at a higher angle, it is refracted downwards and is observed at a higher angle.

You are confused. A mirage can block landmass, shoreline with a docked boat. That was my main point.  Anything behind the mirage is blocked.

The video you posted, the Boat sailed into a mirage and became masked. It was not behind the mirage untill you couldn't see it. The boat shrinks with perspective and the MAST remains tall through perspective then fades away above the water line.

The thumbnail pic for the video shows these facts. Science and your blunder videos proves boats don't go over a curve they just disapate beyond view.

Yes, a mirage might sometimes mask something or sometimes reveal something as in your terribly "Rogers Center" video.

But look at these photos from Stash. A couple might from Niagara on the Lake might show a trace but even those are negligee.

Yes, a mirage might sometimes mask something or sometimes reveal something as in your terribly "Rogers Center" video.

But look at these photos from Stash. A couple might from Niagara on the Lake might show a trace but even those are negligee.
I looked around for additional Toronto skylines and found a few. They all had similar results. Giving FE the benefit of the doubt, these were all taken from an observer height of 6' or higher. As well, the CN tower sits 25 feet above lake level which is not depicted. The water in them all looks surprisingly un-miraged.

So the question remains for FE, where's the shoreline and where's the bottom of the tower? On a flat plane we should see both, yet they are distinctively absent.

The answer seems to be that Inferior Mirages do not hide anything and the true horizon is the "mirroring line".

Rubbish! The image you show is NOT "The entire Bathurst Lighthouse and Land" that is totally false! This is "The entire Bathurst Lighthouse and Land"!

Wolfie6020 Bathurst Lighthouse from 100 ft showing all of the lighthouse and land!

But let's start from the "very beginning" of that charade!

Flat Earth Awakening claims:

Well, let's see just who did the "cherry-picking" of a day when the "atmospheric Lensing Conditions were at a High Refractive Index" (meaningless rubbish!)

Take a look at your Flat Earth Awakening's image on the left below! Look at all the mirroring that he, himself, has pointed out!

Flat Earth Awakening's image: LOOK at the obvious mirroring.
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/pt2n0hpcgurra7g/Bathurst%20Lighthouse%20-%205%20-%20Mirroring%20Inferior%20Mirage.jpg?dl=1)

Certainly, refraction can affect the viewing distance and taking photos when there is warm air over cooler water is just the conditions to cause that.

Your Flat Earth Awakening's a smart cookie and knows the tricks of the trade and knows when to take his videos but it shows in images like this:

Title: Re: When will RE Community Accept Defeat?
Post by: kopfverderber on August 16, 2019, 10:35:33 PM
In the RE superior mirage light bends down. That allows light to go over the curvature and reach the observer. Without curvature, light bending down would hit the ground or the surface of the sea, maybe the fish would see it, but not an observer sitting at same or higher altitude.
So how does the superior mirage work in FE? Could you please describe how is light bending and what is causing it, a diagram would help.
It works in the same way. Light bends down. The key thing to remember is that the light from an object goes out in basically all directions except those blocked by the object.

e.g., for a RE:
(https://i.imgur.com/UtECqAS.png)
The direct light path (blue) would go through Earth, but the refracted one (purple) would curve downwards.
Note that the curved light path is going out at a higher angle than the direct light path and appears at a higher angle, making the object look higher.

For a hypothetical and purely fictional FE:
(https://i.imgur.com/duRGQJ5.png)
Effectively the exact same thing.
The refracted light path goes out at a higher angle, it is refracted downwards and is observed at a higher angle.

You are right it can work. However in Platt's theory the light from the ship or buildings is not refracted, only the light from the water in front of them. That would require a very odd light path. I tried to draw it, but it's difficult to make it work:
(https://i.imgur.com/75quhKH.jpg)
In this this example (if I drew it correctly)   it's not clear what is happening with the lighthouse. Why refraction is affecting only the water and not the lighthouse? And can a mirage completely block an object behind it? shouldn't  we see the image of the lighthouse mixed with reflection from the sea?

EDIT: In the picture I made you would actually see the sea floating in the air not covering the light house from bottom up. Maybe like this:
(https://i.imgur.com/e3wqpzD.jpg)
Like I said, it's difficult to make a picture of what Platt is saying.

You just have to be there at the same place at the right time to see there is no silly imaginary water curvature at the Bathurst Lighthouse. The opposition can’t tell the truth, so more are accepting defeat and learning the real world. Great work Flat Earthers!

Did you create that embarrassing image, Stash?

You think that swells in the water needs to be 75 feet in height to cover 75 feet in the distance?

An erroneous argument. That is like claiming that only an object the size of an elephant can obscure an elephant in the distance, when a dime could easily do so.

Even children know that a small thing can obscure a large thing. Be smart like children.

Cool, apply your child-like smarts: How high would the swells have to be to obscure 75' of the lighthouse at a 6' observer height? And it's one continuous swell that doesn't change height. And I don't even see whitecaps, let alone 'swells'.

Eratosthenes and other astronomers then and now are all wrong about Earth’s alleged circumference. Observing the surface water between lighthouses and shore prove this Earth lacks the curvature as claimed. Knowing these facts, what is the new circumference of Earth and new size of the Heliocentric system for those who still want to hold to a sphere Earth? Please provide the detailed information for the new Heliocentric system with adjusted gravity calculations or accept defeat and embrace the real Earth.

The following video is about the lighthouse across the Oslo fjord (Norway). At a distance of 17.3 km, there is no hump of curvature, no imaginary curve and no illusion to embrace.

Lighthouses, now, plat tera? Finished with mirages so soon I see. Lighthouses reinforce the fact earth is a sphere, and no new circumference size for earth necessary.

Light from lighthouses bend with refraction as already discussed, are usually emitting a beam of light much higher than 6 feet, and the light is amplified, so ofcourse it can be seen from 17.3 km away.

So a wave at any point between the lighthouse must be 75 feet in height to cover a further distant light house? Relative sizes only occurs with match sticks and dimes a few inches from your face?

That is a very interesting world view, as we are taught that relative sizes are linear with distance. A car one mile away is a different size than a car ten miles away.

Children know this, but apparently not some people on these forums. Deeply troubling that these same people also wish to instruct us on the truth of the world.

Seems to be irrelevant as we don't know how far those waves are and the distance to the lighthouse is not stated in the image.

The main take away is that you are mistaken that an object or wave would need to be 75 feet to cover 75 feet in the distance. A fairly embarrassing blunder from someone trying to instruct us on the truth of nature.

Distances are 20.25 km for 100' observation and 20 km for the 6' observation.

I was being facetious about a 75' wave in response to another poster.

I'm glad you agree that things get smaller as they get further way. That would explain why the sun can't set due to perspective.

And cool, we'll just stick with the curvature of the earth as the reason for the light house being obscured.

The point is that much of the lighthouse and almost all the island is hidden! Why are you so bothered about whether it's 75' or 48 ' hidden?
You seem to have forgotten that Wolfie's video shows the lighthouse from 100 feet above sea-level and from 6 feet above sea-level.
What's the Observer height in the above images? Wolfie is very clear, 100' & 6', in his:
(https://i.imgur.com/akq2sFp.jpg?1)
Here are more accurate figures for distances and heights:
The calculated heights and distance are, with standard refraction:
From 100 feet: Distance = 12.6 miles, Viewer height = 100 feet; giving horizon distance = 13.2 miles, Hidden height - none.
From    6 feet: Distance = 12.4 miles, Viewer height =     6 feet; giving horizon distance =   3.2 miles, Hidden height - 48 feet.

And in this video he shows the view from 100 feet then zooms out to show a wide view zooms back out, then shows the view from 6 feet above sea level:

Flat Earth - Zooming on Lighthouses and a ship - 6ft vs 100ft Elevation. Wolfie6020


There is no significant swell and at 1:00 in the above video there are some waves on the ocean horizon but they have minimal effect on the view.

Now YOUR explanations, please!

Those figures are without any refraction. and the images provided DO show more hidden as the observer height decreases. So what is supposed to be the problem besides you still don't understand the subject?

In your lighthouse video, plat tera, the narrator is totally correct when referring to earth curvature alone. But if the narrator were educated in atmospheric phenomena including refraction and superior mirages, and factored these in, the images he has captured with his p9 camera perfectly align with earth curvature calculations.

The narrator is making a rookie mistake.

Tom, you do understand that given an observer with an eye elevation of 6ft, a wave will have to be at least 6ft or higher if it is to block more than 6ft of the land the lighthouse is on right?

Can't wait for you to follow through with that.
How long do you think it will take you?

Just kidding. We all know you are just bloviating.

I kinda lost interest when every other man and his dog dug up other photos of that same cityscape under different atmospheric conditions, and proved my point way better than I was going to. Thanks everyone!  :D

Two separate hypothesis' necessary to create your world, and so you must separate and demonstrate the phenomena individually.

I don't "feel the curvies"! I just line in the real world and not some imaginary flatland like you do.

And if you actually lived on a flat earth, you could do much better than that, but whatever makes you see all the flatness!

If the earth were really flat you'd have more than meaningless memes, fuzzy fotos and fish-eye ballon photos to show for it.
What a little man like you cannot grasp is the earth is BIG!

But why do you concentrate only on seeing "curvature"? There is far more evidence for the earth's being a Globe than that.

And you still do not have any workable flat earth "model" with, just for a start:
You simply ignore or brush off every point raised and come back to "seeing curvature".

You have nothing and WE are by no means representative of the "RE Community" so what is your point?

No, not 2 separate hypotheses. Two conclusions based upon all the available evidence.
Like I had already suggested. If you use a theologite you can see if the horizon is rising up to obscure distant objects.
Like had already been pointed out by others, if you actually look at what the image looks like you can tell which is suffering from refraction as you will get a hazy image.
So if you have a nice clear horizon it is almost certainly not getting refracted.

And finally, if it was just due to atmospheric effects, it would be highly variable. At times the entire object should still be seen, but no such photos exist for distant objects.
For example, viewing a city across a lake, from near the lake, you see the skyline, but not the shore.

How many phenomena is FE juggling? By your criteria the greater the number of hypotheses required is what puts a proof in the gutter.

Globe Earth Sunrise/Sunset:

Hypo #1: Globe Earth
Hypo #2: Rises above/goes below the curve

Flat Earth Sunrise/Sunset:

Hypo #1: Flat Earth
Hypo #2: Perspective
Hypo #3: Perspective causes shrinkage, atmospheric Magnification is required
Hypo #4: Rays know where to stop so the sun doesn't over light or under light half of the earth
Hypo #5: Rays know when to bend up
Hypo #6: Sun is a reflection on the atmoplane (still don't know what that means)
Hypo #7: Nighttime = distance and murkiness of the atmoplane
Hypo #8: Location of sun at sunrise and sunset is unknown and irrelevant

I love it when you guys constantly switch topics. It means "I lost, but lets try this instead..."

Whatever you think is a hypothesis is equally so in RET. Who proved that light rays travel in perfectly straight lines through the universe, in contradiction to all other trajectories we experience? Who proved that light maintains a perfectly straight line  over 100 miles without a degree of curvature? Answer: No one. Where have we seen that in nature? Answer: Nowhere.

No basis, except your own assumption for how things should be. Demanding that we live in your fantasy land on what should and should not happen without evidence of that matter is irreconcilable. Demanding evidence for things against what you falsely think as fact is absurd.

There are not even real models of the sun based on a RET. A continual failure to show that the models are based on geometric positions directly related to the system without help from perturbations and patterns.

Hypothesis, after assumption, after misconception, after error. The inability to clearly demonstrate the globe is a proof against it.

No it isn't, as you need multiple separate hypotheses to explain what RE can explain easily with much fewer.

There are not even real models of the sun based on a RET.
Define "real model."
Are you complaining that we don't have a nuclear fusion reactor on Earth with the temperatures and pressures of the core of the sun?

The inability to clearly demonstrate the globe is a proof of against it.
No it isn't.
Not in the slightest.
The inability to prove something is not proof against it.
But the globe has been proven repeatedly.
You ignoring the proof doesn't magically make it go away, nor does it mean Earth is flat.

If you did want to follow that ridiculous standard then FE is dead in the water due to the complete inability to clearly demonstrate it.

Not switching topics, same concept: What causes an object to disappear/emerge in regard to the horizon? Whether it be a ship or a sun. And just merely pointing out how your statement about the greater the number of hypotheses puts a proof in the gutter and applying your statement to FE. By your own estimation, FE would be in the gutter.

How much of the Bathurst Lighthouse will be seen tomorrow at noon by the rise and fall of Earth's curvature? 100%, 75%, 50% or 15%?

After reading through this topic I observed one common strategy of flat earthers: showing observations that should be easy to explain, but turn out to be more complex and make even smart people seem "dumb".
Like the refractions of light above curvature, that are hard to explain and forecast by most people and are influenced by so many factors (humidity of the air, ground (water, earth) etc.). You expect people to tell you exactly, what is going on, when you have no idea yourself (and by that, you think you won).

There are so many simple observations that proof a globe without any doubt and are reconstructed by tons of people.
The simplest example: measuring the shadow of a perfectly vertical stick on two different locations at the same time. There is literally NO OTHER EXPLANATION than a round globe and I can't believe you just don't do this yourself and stop this nonsense.
Get a FE friend from another city, at least a hundred miles away (east or west of course), measure the length at the same time and share your results.
Get more friends, compare your results and it will be even more obvious.. it's so damn easy..

I don't get it.. there are lots of videos of people doing this, there even was an experiment, where people from all around the globe participated and the results were so clear..

FloPlus a german youtuber Shows it perfectly

Edit: And for god's sake you can watch a sunset and still see the sun shining on tall buildings or mountains.. or watch a sunset twice, if you take an Elevator at the Burj Kalifa for example..

You guys are juggling two separate phenomena. You are claiming that the earth is curved AND that there is a separate phenomena which makes the Earth seem either  more or less curved than it actually is. Two separate hypothesis' necessary to create your world, and so you must separate and demonstrate the phenomena individually. Too many variables, no direct evidence of curvature = Aristotile's sinking ship proof is in the gutter.

Explaining an image using the fact that the Earth is a globe (demonstrable by watching the sun rise, or a ship sail over the horizon), and refraction (demonstrable by sticking a pencil in a glass of water) does not require much intellectual reach. Plat Terra is the inventor of the wall mirage, so I’m sure (s)he can handle curvature and refraction.

Here is some evidence of curvature and some allow the calculation of the earth's radius. If you don't accept it, tough!

  • If the earth were flat I can't see how the sun (and moon, planets and stars) could appear to be hidden "behind something" and slowly rise up top first as in this video (click anywhere, it links to a video):

  • Then, if the earth were flat, from any altitude, the horizon should "rise to eye-level" meaning it should remain horizon with the viewer.
    This is stressed by many flat earth sites, including the Wiki here:
    Quote from: The Flat Society Wiki
    Basic Perspective
    A fact of basic perspective is that the line of the horizon is always at eye level with the observer. This will help us understand how viewing distance works, in addition to the sinking ship effect.

    Have you ever noticed that as you climb a mountain the line of the horizon seems to rise with you?

    But in practice the horizon seems to rise nearly to eye-level (due to perspective) it never quite gets there.

    There is a whole thread on the Metabunk site devoted to this, How to Show the Horizon is Below Eye Level, Using Actual Eyes (https://www.metabunk.org/how-to-show-the-horizon-is-below-eye-level-using-actual-eyes.t8845/).

    This "dip angle to the horizon", as it is called is very small low altitudes, being only about 0.04° (quite unnoticable) at 2 metres.
    But at 100 m it becomes 0.3°, enough to easily detect with a level, at 1000 m about 1.0° and finally at 10,000 m about 3°.

    There are many YouTube videos both showing it measured or simple demonstrated. Here is one from near here using "mountains":
    Andrew Eddie found that, from Flaxton Gardens, Queensland (418 m above sea-level), Mount Coolum (208 m above sea-level) lines up with the horizon.
    This makes it certain that the horizon is below the local horizontal.


    (https://www.dropbox.com/s/mnck8pnrphfqegf/Andrew%20Eddie%20from%20Flaxton%20Gardens.jpg?dl=1)
    Flat Earth? Mountains rising to meet eye-level? Andrew Eddie (https://www.youtube.co/watch?v=0jO6TUfiH8w&feature=youtu.be)

    The opening screen does show only 0.523° but that is over a flat surface and at 2:55 the video has a more accurate calculation showing that from an altitude of 418 m the horizon is about 0.626° below eye-level.
    That's not all that much less than the horizon Dip of 0.66° given by Metabunk''s Earth's Curve Horizon, Bulge, Drop, and Hidden Calculator (https://www.metabunk.org/curve/).

    Here's one by a member of the TFES.org, Bobby Shafto:

    Does the Horizon Always Stay at “Eye Level” by Bobby Shafto


    And here's another by Critical Think from Brisbane, Australia as if anyone couldn't guess ;D:

    Globling teaches Antonio Subirats a better lesson in horizon drop by Critical Think


    Then back in about 1000 AD this "dip angle to the horizon" was used to estimate the radius of the earth.
    Quote
    Abu Rayhan Biruni (973–1048) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_Earth):

    Al Biruni used a new method to accurately compute the Earth's circumference, by which he arrived at a value that was close to modern values for the Earth's circumference. His estimate of 6,339.9 km for the Earth radius was only 16.8 km less than the modern value of 6,356.7 km. In contrast to his predecessors, who measured the Earth's circumference by sighting the Sun simultaneously from two different locations, Biruni developed a new method of using trigonometric calculations based on the angle between a plain and mountain top.

    This yielded more accurate measurements of the Earth's circumference and made it possible for a single person to measure it from a single location. Biruni's method was intended to avoid "walking across hot, dusty deserts," and the idea came to him when he was on top of a tall mountain in India. From the top of the mountain, he sighted the angle to the horizon which, along with the mountain's height (which he calculated beforehand), allowed him to calculate the curvature of the Earth. He also made use of algebra to formulate trigonometric equations and used the astrolabe to measure angles.

             (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Abu_Reyhan_Biruni-Earth_Circumference.svg/666px-Abu_Reyhan_Biruni-Earth_Circumference.svg.png)
    Biruni's method for calculation of Earth's radius
    So the horizon does not rise to eye-level as it must if the earth were flat.

    And there are plenty more.

  • Then, of course there are all the cases of ships, etc, being hidden by the curve but they can wait.

In the middle of the night Polaris seen from Barcelona Airport is at 4.3 degrees above the northern horizon.
At the same moment Polaris seen from Dunkirk Zoo is at 51 degrees above the northern horizon.
The difference is 9.7 degrees.
The distance is 1078 km.

If 9.7 degrees is 1078 km, then the full 360 degrees is (1078 / 9.7) x 360 = 40 008 km,
which is polar circumference of the Earth, with error of 8 / 40 000 = 0.0002 = 0.02%.

9.7 degrees is 582 arc minutes, which is 582 nautical miles.
(582 / 9.7) x 360 = 21 600 nautical miles, which is 40 003 kilometers,
which is polar circumference of the Earth, with error of 3 / 40 000 = 0.000075 = 0.0075%.

With more decimals in measured degrees and the distance we would get even smaller error.

What is here inconsistent with the size of the Earth?

Local vertical at the Barcelona airport and the local vertical at the Dunkirk zoo are tilted away from each other for 9.7 degrees.

I am sure people driving there cars from Miami to Boston have verified the claimed mileage many times. But have you verified the claimed surface curvature of Florida? No one has.

(a) Geodetic Control Surveys: When applicable, all geodetic control surveys, both vertical and horizontal, shall conform to the Standards and Specifications for Geodetic Control Networks (1984) as set forth by the Federal Geodetic Control Committee (FGCC), which Standards and Specifications are incorporated herein by reference, effective 5-13-96, and the Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards Parts 1, 2, and 3, FGDC-STD-007.1-1998, entitled “Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards Part 2: Standards for Geodetic Networks”, and FGDC-STD-007.3-1998, entitled “Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards Part 3: National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy”, which are hereby incorporated by reference, effective 5-18-00, copies of which may be obtained via the internet web site (http://fgdc.gov/standards_publications/). No use of the terminology of these standards may be made without completely adopting and following all the standards in their entirety. When these standards are not employed, then a survey, map, or report shall explain applicable standards used in the geodetic control survey. All geodetic control survey maps or reports shall show the horizontal and vertical datum used and shall contain adequate graphical or written descriptions of the locations, construction and marking of all marks used or set and shall explain methods employed in the survey and adjustment.

Like I wrote and cited, the Florida Board of Surveyors does verify curvature. So if you're still a doubter, why don't you give them a call and ask them your questions and report your findings back here.

You really can't get away with lying. It's unbecoming as well. Do the work, make a phone call to simply try and back up your statements. Here's their number: 1-800-HELP-FLA (435-7352)

Let us know. In the mean time, yes, at least Florida verifies the curvature of their landmass and how it conforms to a sphere.

Whe can discuss pictures of boats going over the horizon for another thirty pages and never come to an agreement  thats not how you defeat RE Platts.

You will know you have defeated RE when billions believe the earth is flat. When FE is taught at schools and universities.

When RE community is reduced to a bunch of freaks sharing their funny RE ideas in silly youtube channels, then you can claim victory.

How about you learn what we belive about Sunsets and why instead of telling us how you think.

How the sun and moon work over the Flat Earth model
How about you try and address the issue rather than repeated avoid it?
Yes, glare makes the sun appear bigger. So what?
Without the glare it does not shrink anything like what FE requires.
Notice that FEers only try and pull this with the sun, as a bright object, so they can pretend the glare is the actual size?
Notice how they don't bother trying it with the moon?

And of course, it then goes and outright contradicts itself by appealing to a magical atmosphere which magically acts like a lens with properties nothing like the atmosphere.

What is the forecast for Earth's alleged curvature tomorrow?

How much of the Bathurst Lighthouse will be seen tomorrow at noon by the rise and fall of Earth's curvature? 100%, 75%, 50% or 15%?

I bet 50% because of refraction.

What’s yours?

Who says this technology is only for Venus?
The original source of that image.

NASA has a way of keeping things secret for many years. Hell, NASA has been using Balloon Satellites for since the 60s and we are to believe they are circling a Globe, but are actually circling above.
Yes, NASA did use some balloon satellites in the '60s.  What evidence do you have that they are still using satellite balloons today?

But I know you believe otherwise and I don't care! You have had this argument with others here. Save your breath because it's not going to add any needed curvature to this Plane Earth.
I believe that NASA is not the only agency that has satellites in orbit.  I also believe that the current commercial satellite service is a many billion dollar a year industry.  That's an awful lot of money being invested in a technology that FE'ers claim can't work.

But your welcome to verify the alleged curvature of any landmass or canal and see if it conforms to a sphere.
And you're welcome learn about a branch of earth science dedicated to measuring the size and shape of the earth called geodesy.

No, you haven't. Nothing you have posted has anything to do with an answer that applies to what I asked. You avoid the context and post things that does not pertain to what is asked. It is you who brush it aside with a none direct answer. We know why and so do you.
Speaking of avoiding questions and answers... Can you answer these two questions yet?

When zooming in on a curved line, does the curve of the line appear to lessen?

Along a straight line of sight, things below that line of sight appear to rise to it as distance is increased, and things above it appear to lower to it as distance is increased.  Do you agree with that statement?

The following video proves this fact. The man is bobbing up and down and left to right, always coming back to center like a weight hanging on a fishing bobbin, without pushing off anything to maintain center.  The guy is nervous as hell because he knows he has some deceiving to do. He’s another puppet for the ISS. They all are puppets.

You look at a video and think it's fake without evidence. I look at the same video and don't think it's fake backed by the evidence of 1000's of hours of footage.

Your claim is that no one has measured curvature. You selected Florida as an example. I produced evidence that the curvature has and is measured. I even gave you the phone number to call and chat with them about it.

So first off, your claim that no one has is wrong because those folks have.
Second off, rather than actually seeking any sort of truth or evidence, you refuse to actually look into the matter, you stomp your feet, and churn out another non-evidenced meme, kind of like a child would. What grade are you in again?

You are yet to present anything to add to the defeat.
Every argument allegedly defeating a RE has been refuted.

This is just another on a long line.
Dishonesty presented to con gullible people that don't bother thinking, but which doesn't withstand rational scrutiny.

Well, for starters you can see an airliner at that height, especially when (and this is important), it catches the sun, and that is the important thing about looking for the ISS, you need the sun over the horizon, it, against the dark back ground of the night sky, then the sun (which in your fantasy is hidden behind the atmolayer) illuminates it, and indeed a host of other satellites, and at the right time of year, noctilucent clouds too.

I know you can see something, but I don't believe in nor care for NASA's magic tricks and illusions. What you see does not prove Astronauts are on board floating around. I am not stupid or gullible. 

BTW, at what time of night are you seeing the suns light shining on the solar panels?

What magic tricks or illusions?
What you SAY does not prove that astronauts are NOT onboard!


Typically I see a good pass around 90 minutes after sunset. Usually sleep through the morning passes.

There is always more to add to the defeat and destruction of the Globe Earth theory. Always!

Do I think the ISS is fake and that Scott Kelly (in this video) is faking weightlessness inside the ISS? Well, sure I do. Hell yeah he is! Anyone with common sense can see it.

The following video proves this fact. The man is bobbing up and down and left to right, always coming back to center like a weight hanging on a fishing bobbin, without pushing off anything to maintain center.  The guy is nervous as hell because he knows he has some deceiving to do. He’s another puppet for the ISS. They all are puppets.

Let’s all have a laugh at them in the second video.


NASA Astronaut Scott Kelly Reflects on His Year in Space


Flat Earth Man is back! - 'Puppet Show" - an ISS exposé - FUNNY :)


I know it's long, but maybe take some time off from meme creation, and watch this one.



I wonder how plat terra will try to explain this movie. This one is impossible to do on a plane or underwater. The tablet would need to have some sort of anti-gravity tech inside of it. Wires are impossible with how he moves around. Furthermore, with wires, he would be a superhuman with insane strength to effortlessly do some things. And everyone who played around as a kid can see that, when he is overhead, has no bloodflow and different stature etc. as you would have on earth.

There is no reason for Bobbin Bob to be bobbin up and down moving in, out, left, right, leaning forward and back always coming back to center, while crossing legs back and forth unless he was hanging from wires. When he’s bobbin up and down his legs never bend, proving his foot is not being held.

He faked it. It’s clear. He had some deceiving to do. Look how nervous he is. BTW, look at the muscle mass? Yeah, he was immune to muscle loss in space. Fake space that is.

Regardless of nasa - why are you concerned about calculating curvature over uneven terrain???
Its much simpler over water.
Waves dont obstruct because you could have viewers positioned at ends and in middle to confirm wave heights.
Hazy weather can be factored out by taking multiple photos on days with different weather conditions.
This is "science" as you smuggly stated before.
So come on.

Call the Florida Board of Surveyors and ask them for their measurements of curvature they have for the entire landmass of Florida. I already gave you the evidence that they do measure Florida landmass curvature, so give them a buzz to find out more.

Can you give a response that directly applies to the following?

You mean you can't walk outside and observe the Moons directional path? Does it go in the same direction as the Sun?

I mean I can go outside and see the Sun, Moon and celestial tropical belt stars go the same way. They all go from east to west.

Does this wording satisfy your demand? :)

That's better. You included the words "Moon, East and West" in a reply to a question I asked. Thank you.

Speaking of the surface of this Earth, what have you observed that proves to you Earth is a sphere?

Sunrises, sunsets, ships going over the horizon, can't see tall things that are over the horizon, line of sight of radio signals, satellites.

There is always more to point out about the Globe Earth Hoax

If one vidoe is faked they're all faked with Hollywood special effects.

In the Zero G Plane, hair flows around the head and even over the face. However that’s not so on the ISS.  On the ISS, the women look like they have kissed a light socket and it sticks up and bounces above their head. 

But we know it’s just permed hair to give the appearance of floating in space. Yet, the Globe Community thinks it’s all real and normal. Why?

To add you your point. Vomit Comet parabolas are about 40 seconds giving a zero G effect for about 20-30 seconds a shot. Most folks along for the ride don't just sit there, they zoom around, swim, move about, because they are having a blast experiencing zero G and for such a short burst, I know I would too. If you're on the ISS for months of zero G perhaps ones exuberance for performing acrobatics 24/7 begins to wane a smidge.

The 'hair' argument is perhaps the most inept anti-ISS one I've ever come across. Not surprising considering the source.

Please, someone point out a football field or something the same size from the ISS.
Then construct a highly reflective football field on the ground surrounded by a very large region of darkness.

There is no reason for Bobbin Bob to be bobbin up and down
Except the reason I posted which you completely ignored.

The ISS has footholds so astronauts can remain in position when doing things.

When he’s bobbin up and down his legs never bend, proving his foot is not being held.
That is just an outright lie.
As he bobs up and down his legs are moving. You ignoring that wont change it.

You see the suns light shining on the solar panels 90 minutes after sunset on a rotating sphere earth.
Yes, that isn't surprising.
That fact can also be used to show the ISS is quite high up.

At a height of 400 km the ISS has the horizon roughly 20 degrees or 2200 km away from where it is directly below.
So its sunset will be long after that of the ground below it.
But we have already basically covered that with your previous lies from the video of it showing the midnight sun during the northern solstice.

In the Zero G Plane, hair flows around the head and even over the face.
Now, care to provide a video?
Still images are useless as it doesn't tell us what happens BEFORE which is the important part.
Are these people sitting talking to the camera, or are they moving around?
Amazingly enough, hair is still subject to the rules of inertia.

More precisely, the residents of the ISS witness 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets every day. Do the angular math and you may understand the concept as observers on earth.

Equally no one cares for your non-evidenced exclamations.

I am more interested in how our region of the infinite Plane was formed and engineered for life and resources. You can’t imagine how tides really work,

We've got that figured out to an extent with the moon and the sun and shape of the sea floor terrain. You know, all the tables and such we have that predict and whatnot, based upon the moon and suns movement, you know, so shit doesn't run aground and surfers know when to surf. So don't worry, we're all set here. What's your explanation for tidal movements? Do tell.

how the Grand Canyon originated or why oceans were formed and how life in all forms makes it to our region.

Funny, I would never say we have it nailed, but some pretty good ideas and science to back up those ideas; tectonic plate movement, general geodesy, geophysics, earthquakes, eruptions and such. Crimininny, almost forgot evolution. Because then there's that. What's your explanation?

So how do your flat earth tides really work?  Some here have suggested that low tides might be caused by the gravitational influence of 2 bodies orbiting below the flat earth pulling sea level downwards.  These proposed bodies have been referred to as the sub-heavens.

So many question avoided, it's really hard to keep count at this point. It really doesn't matter because the globe earth tidal calculations/predictions work just fine, all spherically based and such. We don't need the FE ones that don't exist and if they did, you wouldn't understand them.

As you have proven time and time again you have no idea how a globe earth works; you have proven equally inept as to how a flat earth works. The overarching question, do you have any idea how your model works? Suspicions, when you write something like, "It's not for you to know," suggests you have no clue how FE is supposed to work.

If tides are an advanced issue for your FE then you just occam's yourself into a bloody mess. Just more proof you have no idea about your own model. Good footing you have there for any argument, well done. Proud you should be. Keep wasting our time with your lack of knowledge about any model.

So where is your sun right now? Don't know, do you? Didn't think so.

I am not stupid or gullible. 

Your posts suggest otherwise. I hope those are just an act.

BTW, at what time of night are you seeing the suns light shining on the solar panels?

Up to two hours after sunset or before sunrise is not terribly uncommon. It can be even more than that in cases of very favorable geometry, but that would be fairly rare. 90 minutes is a decent rule of thumb.

In London at around the June Solstice it can be visible pretty much any time of night because the sun doesn't get very far below the horizon at its lowest.

You see the ISS overhead at 90 minutes after sunset on a rotating sphere earth?

It's possible. The sun can be almost 20° below the horizon on the ground directly below the ISS and still be illuminating the ISS directly. Near the equator that must be less than 90 minutes after sunset or before sunrise (but not a lot), but in other places, not. It depends on latitude and time of year.

And, yes, all that's based on a spherical earth with a radius 6400 km rotating at a rate of 15° per hour (wrt the sun) and the ISS at an altitude of 400 km above the surface. All of those are close to their real values.

I don 't care for NASA's magic tricks and diversions, nor do I have a fantasy to feed. I am more interested in how our region of the infinite Plane was formed and engineered for life and resources.

See what I mean? Speaking of feeding fantasies...

You can’t imagine how tides really work, how the Grand Canyon originated or why oceans were formed and how life in all forms makes it to our region.  Your little sphere world is nothing.
So how do your flat earth tides really work?  Some here have suggested that low tides might be caused by the gravitational influence of 2 bodies orbiting below the flat earth pulling sea level downwards.  These proposed bodies have been referred to as the sub-heavens.

I don't care to tell you. It's not for you to know.
If you want the RE community to admit defeat, then it isn't enough to show that RET is wrong.  You still need to show why FET is better.  So far, no one from the FE community (including you) has been able to do that.

In the following video, an astronaut exits a hatch (at 30 seconds) and his feet push against the door hatch revealing its as flimsy as a piece of bologna as it flexes from hitting a part of the underwater ISS. Something so flimsy wouldn’t be used if the ISS was real. 

They film spacewalks in a pool on Earth.

Why not? What is its purpose? They make things as light as they can and still fulfill its intended use. When you're lifting material 400 km, every milligram matters!

No, the glitch is just in the forground, in front of the green screen.

It's called compression blocking. Happens a lot when a movement is present in a frame and that frame is being compressed for transfer/output/broadcast, like it would be when sending a video signal from an ISS to earth or even when you are watching a movie on Netflix, bandwidth can cause the effect. So an object in motion in the frame, whether it be a body movement or even a shadow or something else, can cause pixelation/blocking whereby those things not in motion do not. If it were compression blocking in front of a green screen, you would see the green bleed through. It would be very visible. I see no bleed.

Here are some examples:

Yeah, damage control. And that flimsy door is a good thing to have on the exterior of the ISS with the vacuum of space present.

Damage control is also stated with an "Educated guess" in the link Stash provided.

Educated guess here... This is picture of the inside of the quest model. Notice the large circular ring around the inside of the hatch. It looks like that where the solid hatch goes. The hatch is probably removeable so it doesn't get in the way, and it's probably too big to fit through the hole and float away. The flimsy pice on the outside is just a cover and doesn't structurally support the air pressure when pressureized.

I'm not following whatever logic you think you have. The Quest Airlock door opens inward and locks open in place. This is the thermal cover that opens outward. Look it up. Why don't you explain to us why you think the thermal cover would have a problem in the vacuum of space.

Do you ever look into anything or do you just regurgitate what your fellow believers conjure up? Do a little homework every now and again.

Yes, there was a technical glitch, which is somewhat common with video. Anything that was moving was corrupted, not just the astronauts.

Something so flimsy wouldn’t be used if the ISS was real.
Why not?
What is the purpose of it? Why does that purpose require something less flimsy?
Do you also think they don't have towels or clothes there because of how flimsy they are?

Yeah, damage control.
Not damage control, you just blatantly lying to pretend there is a problem with RE and NASA when you have been completely unable to find a single problem.

It isn't surprising that REers aren't accepting defeat when all you have are lies.

If it were compression blocking in front of a green screen, you would see the green bleed through. It would be very visible. I see no bleed.
Something to keep in mind about MPEG compression is that the content of most video can be 90% or more identical from frame to frame.  In order to save bandwidth, the encoder will encode the first frame and then look for changes in following frames.  If a stationary background doesn't change from frame to frame, then the encoder will simply use the already encoded data and only work on the parts of the frame that did change.  If the changes happen faster than the encoder can keep up (especially when encoding in real time), you get the compression blocking that Stash just mentioned.  If anything, the fact that you get such glitches from time to time suggests that the video probably is live and real.  If it was faked, then they would have done a better job of encoding the video.

The fake NASA ISS interior - a technical breakdown by Mike Helmick


An oldie, but a goodie. For one, this guy just can't stop mispronouncing augmented. "Ah-gyu-mented..." Over and over again. And my favorite is "Contact virtual reality ah-gyu-mented lenses..." The what?

As for the doll grab in the first clip super easy, I’ve done a million of these in my work.

- Screen grab a frame
- Place the object where you want it so it doesn't obscure anything moving in the frame.
- Crudely marquee and copy the shape of where the object is from the screen grab, keep that, discard the rest.
- Place the shape copy on top of the object so it covers it. (The object is there in reality, just hidden by this)
- Where you want in the timeline, add a cross-dissolve to the shape copy
- Across the same frames as above add your teleport animation in that same space in the frame

The shape copy disappears, the teleportation effect happens and the object is revealed because it was there the whole time. No Contact virtual reality ah-gyu-mented lenses required. It’s probably the first thing you learn in compositing aside from titling - would take me all of 2 minutes to do.  No voodoo here.

What’s really wrong here is that after the clip is played, Mike Helmick says, “So what is significant about this video is number one it was live to schoolchildren…there’s only one way to pull that off, it’s virtual reality…”

A) The video was not ‘live’ to school children. It’s part of a 9 minute video called "Barycentric balls in space - classroom demonstration video, VP07b” part of ESA’s “Teach with Space” series. It was never live.

B) There is literally no “virtual reality" going on with gloves and goggles/lenses, as laid out above, so he’s completely and utterly wrong about that too.

He goes on to reference Telemetrics Inc as providing virtual reality and ah-gyu-mented technology to Johnson Space Center. When in reality, that's not even what Telemetrics does. They have robotic camera control systems. That's what they do, let you control, pan, tilt, gimbal, etc., cameras remotely. That's it. No ah-gyu-mentation.

Lastely all of the "glitches" he runs through are pathetic. He just states things matter of factually, "Her necklace moves unnaturally..." No it doesn't. "The way his fingers grabbed the mic is impossible..." No it's not. He makes so many assumptions based upon no evidence it's staggering.

He literally has zero knowledge about video, none. Yet he goes on to make up all kinds of things that there is no evidence for.

To recap:

- So yeah, he can't pronounce 'augment'
- He lies about the first clip being 'live' to school children
- He completely botches and fabricates an explanation as to how the first shot was done
- He makes up something about Contact virtual reality ah-gyu-mented lenses that astronauts wear
- Makes up and is completely wrong about the products and services the Telemtrics Inc supplies
- Zero knowledge about virtual sets, augmented reality, masking, channels, video compression...nothing, zip.

This guy is a bible thumping FEr with no practical knowledge about anything that he is speaking of so he just makes it up. This is one of the more shockingly disingenuous videos - Haven't seen it in a while - still shocking.

But I don't care if you admit defeat. You're just a tool used to expose the great hoax for those (readers) seeking truth. The opposition is not going to openly admit defeat.  You can't even admit this is permed  (spiked, heavy hairspray) hair. Why?

Why don't flatearthers get a few cables and some hair spray and make a space video? That way you could show us how  videos like this one can be fake.

The forces that create and maintain a spherical world have failed the Globe Earth Community.

Gravity, an alleged force pulling to center of mass creating an alleged sphere with Earth’s alleged (centrifugal force) rotation, has yet to fill in areas below sea level and other impression areas on this Earth. Rolling hills with top soil and clay base could not exist on a Globe Earth. With such forces existing with rain, the land’s surface would soon be shaped to a curved surface after a few heavy rains. It’s much like clay on a potter’s wheel; it easily curves.


Look around, do you see evidence of a potter’s wheel?  No, you don’t .  Why?

I notice that every time you bring that up and it is addressed, you just ignore it. Why?
Is it because you know you are lying and want to ignore those calling you out?
Again, all you have is a dishonestly presented still image.
If you want to claim it is permed and fixed in place you would need to present a video showing that, showing that it does not move as free hair should.

And of course, after being repeatedly called out for one collection of lies you yet again jump to another.

has yet to fill in areas below sea level and other impression areas on this Earth
Yes, because it isn't an all powerful force which cannot be resisted or overcome.
It is just one force of many, and the ground is held together with other forces as well.
But the exact same argument applies to a FE.
The magic flattening force for Earth is yet to flatten Earth.

To put it simply, the force of gravity is not strong enough to break a hill apart.
The primary driving force will depend upon the nature of the hill. If it is a small one made of loose material (like a heap of sand), then the primary forces involved will be the normal reaction force to gravity, specifically the component going down the hill, and the friction on the sand and shape of the sand. If the force going down the hill is large enough, it will fall down, if it isn't, then it wont. This dictates an angle based upon the hill.
If it is a large one or a solid one made of rock, then you instead have the pressure pushing outwards at the bottom due to the weight.
If this pressure exceeds the yield strength of the material, then it will flow outwards/break apart.

As for rain, that depends entirely upon the setup of the hill. If it was just loose dirt, then yes, water will help wash it away fairly quickly. But basically no hill is like that. Instead it is typically rock, which takes a very long time to erode, with the dirt typically held in by roots.

This argument applies to both a real round Earth with gravity, and a magic pixie dust FE.

It’s much like clay on a potter’s wheel, it easily curves.
No, it is nothing like clay on a potters wheel.
Try getting a rock, wetting it and curving it.
You will find you can't.

 Yup you understand, that's what the surface of a sphere earth would do (with gravity pulling to center and rotation) to all non mountianous rocky areas . After a few good rains (millions of years ago), the surface would be curved and smooth with mountians sticking up. But our world doesn't look like that. Why?

Nor would 300-mile elevations be expected. The central US, at roughly 1,000 feet elevation, is about 0.005% further from the center of the earth than the east and west coasts.

And again your prove only your ignorance. While there is 300 miles of curvature, it is NOT 300 miles higher. The land is the height above sea level shown on topographic maps. That sea level curves around the globe as shown by WGS-84 or by any geodetic surveyor. You still seem to not understand the subject you argue against. Just because you choose to remain ignorant doesn't mean everyone else is.

And I KNOW so as I have worked with radio and RADAR from both ground and airborne platforms and in ALL cases the range depended only on the height of the emitter. Increasing power did NOT add range. I've also tested multiple times with ships and land over the horizon and magnification from binoculars or a telescope did NOT bring them back but just a small increase in elevation did.

Ill simplify and summarize

1
Plata claims globe is impossible because after time the globe would be smooth parts and rocky parts then proceeds to prove it true/ possible with a topographic map.
He is literally rdisputing that rock mountains dont look like mountains.
And sandy deserts dont look like deserts.

2
claims earth not a globe because topographic map doesnt show the buldge, not realizing that the elevations are taken in relation to sea level, which follows the buldge.
Guy probably thinks he can also run away from his shadow.

3
Not understanding inches ft and miles.
Although all distances are represented by numbers.

4  He references some 300 mile number which must be based on a distance. Yet he has refused to say how he knows the distance between two points on earth. Remember, after being repeatedly asked what the distance was on his flat plane between Miami and Boston, he always refused to answer or side stepped.

So the question to Plat is, where did the 300 mile number come from? How was it derived? What tools, maps, were used to come up with that mysterious 'bulge' number? We need the evidence, not just you making up numbers.

Exactly.
From Sea Level.
Not from some imaginary flat plane.

And no, there is no a 300 mile bulge at center.

Sea level itself bulges all the way from east to west coast.

The center of the USA is the same height above the East Coast as it is the West Coast and it's nowhere near 300 miles.

Measure from sea level it isn't.
Measured from your imaginary underground flat line it is.

There is no practical use in measuring from imaginary underground flat plane so nobody is measuring from there.
Every geodesist measures from sea level.

Nor can you prove so.

You mean "Nor can you convince me so." ?
And there is no need to convince you.
Those facts don't depend on your belief.

You simply think there should be, but that's not the case.  But you're welcome to disagree with stuff and things you cannot really prove to fit your theory. You argument will not add the needed curvature.

Gravity pulling to center of mass would not allow a sphere earth to have rolling hills. It goes against the force that creates spheres. And even more so with a centrifugal force is applied to a water soaked (sub-soil) surface, it has no choice but to curve and conform to a sphere.  The Globe Comunity can't have it both ways. One contradicts the other. It's no wonder why the defection continues.

Gravity pulling to center of mass would not allow a sphere earth to have rolling hills. It goes against the force that creates spheres. And even more so with a centrifugal force is applied to a muddy surface, it has no choice but to curve and conform to a sphere.  The Globe Comunity can't have it both ways. One contradicts the other. It's no wonder why the defection continues.

Pure BS!
If you wish to assert such nonsense you will need to back it up.

You also need to explain how you magic downwards force for a FE somewhow allows it but RE doesn't.
Again, the same arguments apply for RE and FE.

That's easily formed into a sphere with gravity pulling to center with a centrifugal force in effect.
Again, PROVE IT!
So far all you are doing is repeating the same baseless assertions.

You have provided absolutely no justification for your claims.
Gravity pulls to the centre, not magically smooths.
Just like a hypothetical magical downwards force for a FE pulls downwards not magically flattens.
You need to have that force somehow transfer to a sideways force.
Like I explained before, the 2 ways for this to happen is a loose particle on the surface being subject to the normal reaction force which has a component going sideways down the hill which overcomes the frictional force or other forces holding it there; or for the pressure from the weight of the hill to exceed the yield stress of the material which then pushes it out sideways.

And again, this is the same for a RE and a FE.
The only difference will be the final shape.

If a RE demands a perfectly round Earth, then a FE demands a perfectly flat Earth.

Your picture has the Mediterranean Sea with a tilt to north far beyond 23.5 degrees.
And here we have yet another baseless assertion from you.
How about you stop with the baseless assertions and start justifying your wild claims?

The picture looks fine.

Now, care to address why your allegedly flat Earth has hills when your magic downwards force should have made it all flat?
Or do you admit that line of reasoning by you is pure nonsense?

Members of the Globe community often ask “How do you explain the Sun going down over the horizon” and we say, it appears to go down because of refraction and perspective, they say “Prove it”.

The following experiments shows a light going down in appearance, but yet the light stays the same height above the surface at any time.  And remember, as the Sun moves from the median to the horizon, the viewer has no choice but to view the Sun through more and more atmosphere as it reaches the horizon.  The atmosphere acts like a lens and its appearance gets larger as it moves farther away.

Garbage experiment:

- What's the refractive index of the lens he is using?
- We don't live inside a glass of water
- Why does the candle get larger as it gets further away, we don't observe that in reality
- I thought flat earthers claimed that with enough magnification anything could be pulled back into view from over the horizon?
- Lastly, we're talking about a 3000 mile high sun. Demonstrate that 'setting' along with a refractive index measurement required and the distance needed away from the observer.

"No matter how convincing and true sounding the story, always hear the other side"

Something I observe all the round earthers like jackinoz fail to do. Too busy shilling for or simply too stupid and blinded by their small and dim world view.

So the other week I was walking at night and I knew there would be a full moon (or close to being full coming out shortly). Although I could not see it, the sky was not black and the clouds were lit up. This in turn helped to light the field I was walking across. If this were a globe I was on, the sky should still be dark as the side of the Earth I am on is obscured from the moon. Yet hours before it came to view, there was its light already seen.

You can see the same with the sun. The sky starts to change colour before the sun is in view.

Might have been twilight. Can be longer or shorter depending on your latitude and time of year same for the moon with the addition of where the sun is. Actually more evidence that they are large celestial bodies far away, the sun being really far away:

If this were a globe I was on, the sky should still be dark as the side of the Earth I am on is obscured from the moon. Yet hours before it came to view, there was its light already seen.

You can see the same with the sun. The sky starts to change colour before the sun is in view.

Might have been twilight. Can be longer or shorter depending on your latitude and time of year same for the moon with the addition of where the sun is. Actually more evidence that they are large celestial bodies far away, the sun being really far away:

It was well passed twighlight. The sun had gone hours before. When there is no moon (or 'new moon') I cant even see my feet on the ground. There is no street lighting and little in any way of light pollution (It's Canberra! Not like a major city in China or Korea which I have been to and barely able to see a single star or planet thanks to the eternal twilight from the city lights) The only difference is the moon. When its out, I see the effects of its lighting well before it 'rises'. The clouds are bright which in turn light up the ground enough for me to see where I'm walking.

Members of the Globe community often ask “How do you explain the Sun going down over the horizon” and we say, it appears to go down because of refraction and perspective, they say “Prove it”.

The following experiments shows a light going down in appearance, but yet the light stays the same height above the surface at any time.  And remember, as the Sun moves from the median to the horizon, the viewer has no choice but to view the Sun through more and more atmosphere as it reaches the horizon.  The atmosphere acts like a lens and its appearance gets larger as it moves farther away.

Flat Earth Sunset Experiment Anyone Can Do



Garbage experiment:

- What's the refractive index of the lens he is using?
- We don't live inside a glass of water
- Why does the candle get larger as it gets further away, we don't observe that in reality
- I thought flat earthers claimed that with enough magnification anything could be pulled back into view from over the horizon?
- Lastly, we're talking about a 3000 mile high sun. Demonstrate that 'setting' along with a refractive index measurement required and the distance needed away from the observer.

Garbage.


Of course the opposition will respond with ridicule, but now they know light can appear to go down as it moves away and yet stays the same height above the surface with just a simple science experiment.

What we know is that we can take a 4 inch lit candle, place an artificial lens in front of it, one that doesn't represent atmospheric reality at all. Slide the candle a few inches away, it magnifies, again, not reality, then disappears from view. That's all that has been demonstrated. That does not even remotely tackle the reality of:

Do you realise how ridiculous that even sounds? You say, "the greater light goes away" but "the stars" become visible in exactly the same location!

These other objects, such as the moon and the planet Venus, can be seen soon after the sun sets and right where the sun was!
Yet you claim that the atmosphere hides the sun, about 500,000,000 times brighter than Venus, yet cannot hide Venus!

Simple (un)common sense would indicate that some very opaque object is needed to hide the extreme brightness of the sun.

The simple explanation is that this "very opaque object" is the Globe getting in the way - maybe that's why it's called "sunset" and not "sun leaving".

The universe is not the shape or configuration you think it is. Even if you believe we are a tiny speck in the unfathomably large size of the universe, the structure still effects our perspective despite our small area of occupation

There are far more spatial dimensions then the 3 you are led to believe exist. Gravity doesn't work or operate on the limited level you think it does. There is matter and energy that exists unseen by current technology that occupies more 'space' than anything visible that you see even with specialised instruments that can see from the long radio waves to the ultra high energy gamma rays.

All these things come into play in how we view the universe and that includes the simple act of watching the sun set.

If you bothered to read what I wrote instead of replacing it with the word 'Irrelevant' You'd know I was talking the truth

However the intricate details are not for me to share with a primitive mind such as yourself. Kaku will come up with a theory that unifies everything within the decade. His work will revolutionise the field of physics and our understanding of The Universe. So much so that what we will learn within the next decade will be exponentially greater than what we have learned in the past 500 years. And once the first iteration of the ASI is built shortly before 2050, the singularity era will be upon us. Once all this becomes 'common knowledge', I can then share what you are supposed to know at the right time. I am sorry I have to be vague and if you do not live long enough to witness this revolution and die with such inferior knowledge.

Interesting, the greater and closer light vanishes yet the lesser and farther lights can be seen?

For the 50th time I'll ask, where above earth is your sun after it perspectively and atmospherically disappears over the horizon at sunset?

His future discoveries will blow everyone away. Including himself. As I said earlier, sometimes multiple answers could fit the same question. The amount of data we have on the subject is very small. It appears to fit only because of this. But once all the pieces are known and put together you will find that with all the new data, what we believe to be true now, is not so.

How many times has the nature of the universe changed to fit new data that has been found? I guarantee it will change again. A scientist may stand up and give a lecture and believe he is telling the truth. But a decade later the lecture will be different because there is more data and thus the answers are different. Kakus 'Universe in a Nutshell' will read quite different in 2027!

Waters’ on a sphere Earth cannot backup up and flood a spherical surface, especially if the land adjoins an ocean. 

Why?

Pour water on a curved surface and find out. Then encircle a retaining wall around a portion of the curved surface and make sure the wall is higher than the area you want to flood. Then pour water again. Then ask yourself  “why didn’t it flood without the retaining wall?" And rememeber, a part of the retaining wall is next to the ocean.

I poured water on a flat surface. It ran off the sides. I then encircled an area of the flat surface with a retaining wall of sorts higher than the area I wanted to flood. Poured the water again.

You have already had this brought up and had your ass handed to you.
Why bring it up again?

Again, you end up with the same non issue for the RE and a hypothetical FE.
All you need is more water coming in than will flow out.

Now try it with your model.
The RE is not a tiny ball being held above a massive sphere.
As such, if you want to try it with our model, with a physical model you will need to be in free-fall outside the roche limit of any significant body.
Making up a strawman to try and refute the RE does not help your case.

Large surface areas of Earths landmass that are depressed (not curved) can easily flood.
So all you are saying is that Earth isn't a perfect sphere?
If so, no one is suggesting it is.
Land which is depressed below sea level is still below sea level, even on a RE.

Again, it is the same non-issues for the RE and a hypothetical FE.

I think you misunderstand. If the earth is a flat plane like a table and I pour water on it, like in your experiment, the water will just run off the sides. So when water gets poured on the mississippi, it's not any landmass depression that causes the water to rise. Why is the river water rising? Sure a land depression could fill up like a swimming pool, same as on a sphere. But on a flat plane the water would just run off the sides, not make the river rise. Explain river rising on a flat plane.

I still think you misunderstand and it's not at all unrelated. It's using your example and using your experiment - If I pour water on to a table, the water runs off the sides. If I poured water on the Mississippi delta, on a flat plane, it would just run into the ocean and that water, in turn, just like on the table, would run off the sides of the plane earth. So I don't see how a river could rise on a flat earth as it would spill off the sides of the earth, just like the table. Please explain.

I’m sorry but you really need to go and study geography/topography and other earth sciences to understand how and why flooding occurs. It has nothing to do with the earth being flat.

Flooding has everything to do with large landmass that are depressed (not curved), and not a damn thing to do with a large curved landmass, unless a retaining wall held back the water.
So a curved Earth can't have depressions? Are you really this unbelievably ignorant or just trolling?

So all you are saying is that Earth isn't a perfect sphere?
If so, no one is suggesting it is.
Land which is depressed below sea level is still below sea level, even on a RE.

Again, it is the same non-issues for the RE and a hypothetical FE.

I bet you have a problem with people not responding to your posts', right?  You should find out why.

Please explain why
Waters’ on a sphere Earth cannot backup up and flood a spherical surface, especially if the land adjoins an ocean.
Learn what the definition of elevation is on the Globe!

It looks just one more of the numerous ways that flat earthers fail to understand such simple concepts - keep it up!

(https://i.imgur.com/4XXxCkW.jpg)
What if the adjoining land is below sea level?  Or if the flood waters are coming from overflowing rivers upstream?  Have you ever heard of storm surge?

Think sphere surface. Not flat or below sea curve. "Sphere Surface" adjoing a coast line.
Sphere surface does not mean smooth surface.  The round earth still has terrain that can be above or below sea level.  Think crumpled wad of paper.

No, I'm not the one with the problem.
But I do find lots of dishonest people like you wont respond because I expose your dishonesty so well.

Again, you have the same non-issue for a flat or round Earth.
With a RE, you have areas which are below sea level which can easily flood, or areas close to sea level which can flood if more water is coming in than the change in elevation would drive out.
With a FE, you have areas which are below sea level which can easily flood, or areas close to sea level which can flood if more water is coming in than the change in elevation would drive out.

If Earth was perfectly spherical, then the water would perfectly cover it.
If the Earth was perfectly flat, then the water would perfectly cover it.

It is the same non issue.
You aren't making an argument against a RE, you are making an argument against flooding in general.

The only way it is an argument against a RE is if you believe the stupidity you have already claimed you reject, that water should magically obtain a flat surface rather than a level one.

You do love your ignorance of history because, unlike you those people 500 or even 1400 years ago believed the earth to be spherical.

Even back around 600 AD the was believed by most to be a Globe!
Quote from: Jonathan Sarfati
The flat earth myth
One of the best-known proponents of a globe-shaped earth was the early English monk, theologian and historian, the Venerable Bede (673–735), who popularized the common BC/AD dating system. Less well known was that he was also a leading astronomer of his day.

In his book On the Reckoning of Time (De temporum ratione), among other things he calculated the creation of the world to be in 3952 BC, showed how to calculate the date of Easter, and explicitly taught that the earth was round. From this, he showed why the length of days and nights changed with the seasons, and how tides were dragged by the moon. Bede was the first with this insight, while Galileo explained the tides wrongly centuries later.

Here is what Bede said about the shape of the earth—round “like a ball” not “like a shield”:

“We call the earth a globe, not as if the shape of a sphere were expressed in the diversity of plains and mountains, but because, if all things are included in the outline, the earth’s circumference will represent the figure of a perfect globe. … For truly it is an orb placed in the centre of the universe; in its width it is like a circle, and not circular like a shield but rather like a ball, and it extends from its centre with perfect roundness on all sides.”

Dude, you are aware that the fact that a horizon exists is proof the world isn't flat?  Why do you think a clear and visible terminus exists roughly five miles from an observer standing on a beach looking out over the ocean?  Why do vessels going out over the horizon disappear from the bottom up, almost as if they are sinking, in a manner one would expect if the ocean was blocking them from view? 

If the world was flat, and I am standing on the beach, a point higher than the ocean, why is my vision limited to roughly five miles?  Why, on a clear day, can I not see all the way from the eastern seaboard of the US to Europe?  And not with the naked eye, of course.  If I have a good set of optics, why can't I see ships 100 miles from the shore?  Hell, 10 or 15 miles even?  What prevents me from seeing that far?

I've answered that numerous times! Why should I repeat myself?
But photos like you show above is evidence of a near horizon and I've seen myself how the distance to that sharp horizon increases with quite small increases in elevation.

If the earth were flat I can't see how the sun (and moon, planets and stars) could appear to be hidden "behind something" and slowly rise up top first as in this video (click anywhere, it links to a video):

Point C - For the reasons I mentioned above.  One thing is for certain, it isn't flat and ample evidence lends itself to the shape being decidedly spherical.

Let me ask you this; if the Earth is a flat disk, with the north pole at its center, where is Sigma Octanis (the southern polar star)?  If I stand on Cape Horn, and you stand on Cape Hope and we both look south, we would both see Sigma Octanis to our south.  But if the Earth is flat, then Sigma Octanis would need to simultaneously exist at two different places in the sky for both of us to see it due south, which we know isn't the case in the real world. 

So is it flat?  No.

Five hundred years ago most people were sensible enough to see that the earth was a Globe! Get used to it!

And back there they believed that that the earth was a perfect sphere, about the current size, stationary and the centre of the Universe.
They followed the description given in the Almagest written by Ptolemy.

That is described is "more modern language" (if over 700 years ago can be called more modern ;D) in:
De sphaera mundi, a medieval introduction to the basic elements of astronomy written by Johannes de Sacrobosco c. 1230 (http://www.esotericarchives.com/solomon/sphere.htm).

Point B: without anyone’s opinion on Earth’s shape

While it might be hard to know that the earth is a sphere I can readily see that it is NOT flat because of the horizon, the sun and moon rising and setting.
I can also readily see that the Sun, Moon, planets and stars cannot be close by simple observation.

I addition I have travelled to many other countries on the "other side" of the earth and have seen the same things there - except that the Sun and Moon seemed in the "wrong place".

If the earth is not flat everywhere it seems very reasonable that is would be a sphere-like object and certainly NOT FLAT!

Title: Re: When will RE Community Accept Defeat?
Post by: Gumwars on August 27, 2019, 08:19:17 PM
Actually, I'll take another stab at it:

Point A:  five hundred years ago

I stand by my first response.  Ferdinand Magellan performed the first circumnavigation of the globe in 1519 (well, started in 1519).  That is exactly 500 years ago.  In order to successfully circumnavigate the globe, one must have a fairly accurate and consistent command of celestial navigation, something we know existed at the time as the Italians were not the only folks making runs across the Atlantic, or other oceans for that matter.  So, would an individual looking at the images you provided 500 years ago think the Earth a pancake?  Very likely no, especially if that individual was a sailor.  And who would we likely find near an ocean 500 years ago?  A sailor.

Point B: Without anyone's opinion of the Earth's shape

I stand by this comment as well.  Sir, the fact that a horizon exists and is distinctly visible is not proof that the Earth is flat.  To the contrary, the very visible terminus between the ocean and the sky points more to an object being obscured (think line of sight being blocked) than it proof of a incredibly large plane.  I would expect if the Earth was flat that we would not have a horizon; it would be this haze in the distance as the vanishing point would be ludicrously distant.  So, to answer your second point, without an opinion of its shape, I can conclude it is not flat.

Point C: why would you believe Earth is a sphere?

Sigma Octanis and Polaris.  The fact that these stars exist and are located where they are is proof that the Earth is a globe.

Why would you believe Earth is a sphere after seeing a horizontal horizon for decades?

Because that is exactly how the horizon SHOULD look in a huge sphere! When will you face up to that simple FACT!

If you look out over the ocean with your eyes about 6 feet above the water the horizon is a circle about 3 and 1/4 miles away.

So what you are seeing is a circle of 3 and 1/4 mile radius almost edge-on.
That edge-on circle looks almost perfectly flat and horizontal and is only about 12 feet below your eye-level and 12 feet in 3.24 miles is an angle of only 0.04°.

In other words, the horizon on the 7920-mile diameter Globe should look straight, horizontal and almost exactly at eye-level.

Remember that those people 500, 1000, or 2000 years ago were used to seeing ships appearing to come up over that horizon so a sphere seemed quite logical.

Waters’ on a sphere Earth cannot backup up and flood a spherical surface, especially if the land adjoins an ocean. 

Why?

Pour water on a curved surface and find out. Then encircle a retaining wall around a portion of the curved surface and make sure the wall is higher than the area you want to flood. Then pour water again. Then ask yourself  “why didn’t it flood without the retaining wall?"

I poured water on a flat surface. It ran off the sides. I then encircled an area of the flat surface with a retaining wall of sorts higher than the area I wanted to flood. Poured the water again. It didn't run off the sides. So I had to ask myself, “why didn’t the flat surface flood without the retaining wall?"

 :)

Now try it with your model.

Earth's gravity will pull all the water off the ball you hold in your hand and stick it to the Earth itself.

Gleason’s Map. Cape Horn and Cape Hope fall under the same night sky. There is no problem with them seeing the Sigma Octanis star south on the same night. Any straight line will cross to south.

The problem is, on a sphere Earth, people in Australia should be able see the Southern Cross under the same night sky as those in South America, but they can't.  They have to wait about 9 to 12 hours to see it because Earth is a plane.

The southern cross is not the southern celestial pole.  It is about 60degrees south.  Had you bothered to actually understand something, you would have known this.  The southern celestial pole remains stationary in the night sky for the entire southern hemisphere, just as polaris remaining nearly stationary for the northern hemisphere.  This kills the flat Earth.  Thanks for playing.

Aside from the fact that your meme makes no sense on several levels, well actually all levels, if the earth were an infinite plane then your pouring water on a table experiment would yield the same results; the Mississippi would never rise. Instead of the excess water spilling over the sides of the finite plane it would just flow out toward infinity.

So your own experiment has debunked flat earth. Well done.

Gleason’s Map. Cape Horn and Cape Hope fall under the same night sky. There is no problem with them seeing the Sigma Octanis star south on the same night. Any straight line will cross to south.

The problem is, on a sphere Earth, people in Australia should be able see the Southern Cross under the same night sky as those in South America, but they can't.  They have to wait about 9 to 12 hours to see it because Earth is a plane.

The southern cross is not the southern celestial pole.  It is about 60degrees south.

Aside from the fact that your meme makes no sense on several levels, well actually all levels, if the earth were an infinite plane then your pouring water on a table experiment would yield the same results; the Mississippi would never rise. Instead of the excess water spilling over the sides of the finite plane it would just flow out toward infinity.

So your own experiment has debunked flat earth. Well done.

I see you still like to muddy the waters. Have you heard of evaporation and rain fall? The Mississippi is not going to cause a sea level rise and cause land to flood from the Gulf to north. You’re the one with screwy thinking because you have no logical argument. You just like a pissing match and you're all wet again.

Do you know why Antarctica is colder than the Artic regions? The elevation is much higher. And at some point you have to climb to reach the top all the way around.

Who said anything about a sea level rise? I didn't. I just used the mississippi as an example, but this can be applied to any river. Rivers rise in flood conditions. Look it up.

Pay attention.

Your experiment was to pour water onto a simulated surface of the earth, a sphere. You claimed it would never flood for, some reasons that make no sense. But whatever. In any case, the landmasses do flood periodically.  Therefore your conclusion was that since it does flood, the earth can't be a sphere.

I applied your experiment to a simulated surface of the earth, a flat plane. If I poured water onto the flat plane it would simply run off the sides, no rivers, oceans or anything else would rise, just waterfall off the edges. Therefore according to your conclusion that since it does flood, the earth can't be a flat plane.

Now you've introduced the concept of an infinite plane. Well, using your same experiment, nothing would flood, no rivers would rise, the water would just flow out to sea and out toward the infinite plane.
Therefore according to your conclusion that since it does in fact flood, the earth can't be a flat plane, infinite or otherwise.

Like I said, your experiment debunks flat earth of both flavors, finite and infinite. Well done.

But south on the Gleason's map seems to point in many different directions so where is "the Sigma Octanis ??? Octantis star"?
Is Sigma Octantis a band all around your flat earth? Or are there an infinite number of Sigma Octantis stars?

Looks like you've blown it again!  The Globe gas no such problem!

Crux and Centaurus would readily be visible quite often from parts of both places especially near the June Solstice.

You don't know much about astronomy or even the "southern stars" do you?

Any night both Crux and Centaurus are visible from both places all night!
This is because anywhere south of Sydney, Australia, or Santiago, Chile can see Crux and Centaurus all night and every night!
All that is needed is darkness in both places making the best time about 09:24:00 UTC on any June 21.

But even tonight Wednesday, 28 August 2019 here, at 09:15:00 UTC, anywhere on the east coast of Australia south of Sydney and anywhere south of Santiago near the west coast of Chile should be OK.

Explain that on you flat earth!

For anywhere a bit south of latitude 30°S these star groups are curcumpolar! You don't know.

What else could I expect from the opposition?

Sweet dreams and thoughts of "Plat Terra" as you sleep because it's not a sphere.

I'm not using it out of context and no goalposts have been moved. Here is your context:

Waters’ on a sphere Earth cannot backup up and flood a spherical surface, especially if the land adjoins an ocean.  Our Earth’s surface lacks the curvature as taught. It’s time accept reality and common sense.
What if the adjoining land is below sea level?  Or if the flood waters are coming from overflowing rivers upstream?  Have you ever heard of storm surge?

Think sphere surface. Not flat or below sea curve. "Sphere Surface" adjoing a coast line.

How does a flat earth flood without a retaining wall holding the flood waters in? Your experiment showed that it wouldn't.

Large surface areas of Earths landmass that are depressed (not curved) can easily flood. But these same large surface areas could not flood if the surface was curved. unless a retaining wall held back the water

On a flat plane the water would just run off the sides never getting a chance to flood anything. What's holding the water on to a flat earth?

You are playing games again. Use the words "Large landmasses with depression areas" Like following...

"On a flat plane with DEPPRESSION AREAS, the water would just run off the sides never getting a chance to flood anything. What's holding the water on to a flat earth?"

No it won't run off, but will flood because of depressions.

You are like Rab and like to muddy the waters. You too should learn about cognitive dissonance.

Sure a land depression could fill up like a swimming pool, same as on a sphere. But on a flat plane the water would just run off the sides, not make the river rise. Explain river rising on a flat plane.

No, not the same on a sphere. You can't flood a large curved surface without a retaining wall.  And I don't care to go down your bunny trail with more games with an unrealated issue.

Wow, you have so many obvious blunders in your theory, and more to come.

Later.....

I still think you misunderstand and it's not at all unrelated. It's using your example and using your experiment - If I pour water on to a table, the water runs off the sides. If I poured water on the Mississippi delta, on a flat plane, it would just run into the ocean and that water, in turn, just like on the table, would run off the sides of the plane earth. So I don't see how a river could rise on a flat earth as it would spill off the sides of the earth, just like the table. Please explain.

You're the one who moved the goal posts by adding in the "infinite" plane model. Which still doesn't matter.

The point being your own experiment debunks the finite and infinite flat earth because the rivers would never flood on them when we do actually observe rivers rise and flood.

So I guess since you lost this debate you slid on over to yet another topic. This thread is turning into the 200 reasons why the earth is NOT flat. Thanks for providing the fodder to make that so.

What direction is gravity?

2.
Why can hills exist on a flat earth?

3.
What is the perimeter distance of antartica?

4.
Why cant we as a speciies accumulate knowledge? - yet you ask for one person, without the input of others, to undiscover what we already know - now this is another stupid request.

5.
Why are you insistent on measuring curvature of earth over land, when it is uneven with mountains and valleys and when water is easier - your first stupidass request.

6.
Why cant you or anyone take photos on multiple days to rule out weather effects of mirages to show ships and lighthouses dip bottom first?

Or this list will keep going on.

If you observed horizons like this (below) five hundred years ago everywhere you went and for decades and without anyone’s opinion on Earth’s shape, why would you believe Earth is a sphere?
Because of the nice clear horizon, at the same angle of dip all around; rather than having it fade to a blur like you would expect for a FE.
I would think of the horizon as an edge of Earth, and if I move around and see the horizon move around as well, the only choice I would have is that every point on the surface of the ocean is an edge, and the only shape witch matches that is a round Earth.

The real question is why would anyone believe it is flat when there is literally nothing to indicate it is?

If you observed the sunset every day, why would you believe it was magical perspective causing it to set, rather than its relative position being below you?
If you observed objects being obscured by the horizon from the bottom up, why would you believe it was magic perspective just hiding the bottom of it?
If you were able to move around Earth and observe 2 celestial poles always 180 degrees apart, why would you believe it was magic bendy light just making it look like that?

The problem is, on a sphere Earth, people in Australia should be able see the Southern Cross under the same night sky as those in South America, but they can't.  They have to wait about 9 to 12 hours to see it because Earth is a plane.
No, because Earth is round, they have to wait until it is night.
They can't see the stars during the day.

The problem is, for your pizza planet, sigma octantis should move, rather than remaining due south as it is observed.
Also, as the southern cross is above Earth, it should be visible from everywhere, not just southerly locations.

We also know it isn't the atmosphere blocking the view. If that was the case any sky near the horizon should be dark rather than having loads of stars.

You are using the experiment out of context with the subject matter and twisting it. You are being ID. The surfaces' in question at first adjoined an ocean or the Gulf and not a continues flat landmass. You say I did not understand,  but you did not make it clear you were moving the goal post and talking about another issue by removing the ocean and adding a continues flat landmass.

Good job describing just what you are doing.
The surfaces' in question at first adjoined an ocean or the Gulf and not a continues perfectly spherical landmass.

The only reason not to see Crux from South America and Australia simultaneously would be the daylight.

They are 180 degrees of longitude apart and when at one is night at the other is day.

You forget about winter down south. On a Globe and about the same time, one should see see it before twilight and the other, after twilight. But they have to wait 12 hours because Earth is a Plane.

No, they don’t.

The southern pole star Sigma Octantis, is always near enough due south (a little more than a degree off) for anyone watching the night sky in the Southern Hemisphere regardless of the time.  Whether they can see it due to sunlight or not. 

If your flat earth diagram, was correct, people would see Sigma Octantis come from the East, sweep past South and disappear in the West. 

THEY DO NOT.

They see the whole star field rotating around the southern celestial pole, just as people do for the northern celestial pole, except in the opposite direction.

If the earth is round ball - gravity acts down (not towards the south pole).

Regardless of earths shape, hills are made of dirt and they clearly exist.
Why would they not exist if the earth was a ball?
Gravity on a RE has been equated to a predictable fall on a FE.
so the magnitude of down is the same.
It is easily measurable and verifiable.
So why should hills not exist?

Others have sailed it.
Are they untrustworthy?
Your ice wall would be the perim of the entrie know world, vs a relatively small "island".

Yes you keep mentioning florida.
Why though is the question, when water is MORE GENERALLY FLAT than the mainland?

Time lapse or video is required AS WELL as taking a sample with different weather conditions.
If you claim mirages and lensing and such, then weather is a varying factor amd needs to be isolated - like how good science is done.

Why not? Until you prove that the reflection is EXACTLY the same as the original you've no case!
A 5 miles by 5 miles piece of the surface a of a perfectly smooth sphere the size of the earth deviates from being perfectly flat by only ±25 inches or ±1 part in over 12,000!

That image is only 1206 pixels wide. So at the most any deviation from the surface being perfectly flat is a few tenths of a pixel!
If you come back with details of how high the camera was, field of view and the distance to those mountains maybe it could be worked more accurately.

Do some sums before making claims like this!

No, on a globe, due to the daylight, you don't see it during the day.

They can observe the apparent rotation about the south celestial pole to see that it isn't just rotating into position above a disk.
Why does the south celestial pole remain due south?

2. Rolling hills exist because there is no force pulling to center of Earth to shape hills into a sphere.
There is no magical force pulling anything into any particular shape.
For a RE, gravity pulls down towards the centre. That will not magically make things into a perfect sphere. Instead it will result in very large objects breaking due to the pressure at the base pushing outwards, or less solid objects rolling down a hill due to the normal force.

The same applies to a flat Earth, as pointed out and ignored by you repeatedly.
If gravity pulling towards the centre of Earth made hills impossible for a RE, whatever magic you use to replace gravity to explain why things fall would make hills impossible for a FE.

There is nothing intellectual about a Big Bang theory.
You not liking something doesn't mean there is nothing intellectual about it.
Regardless, this is meant to be about the shape of Earth. There is nothing intellectual about a flat earth. All the evidence indicates Earth is round.

6. Time-laps photos are better and prove the Globe Community wrong. We can’t help they rationalize, ignore and even deny it because it doesn't fit in with the core belief  and because they suffer from cognitive dissonance.
And there you go projecting again.
You are yet to provide anything which even comes close to proving the globe community wrong.

The Flat Earth diagram is correct. I can't help that it doesn't fit your Globe.
No, it is completely wrong and does not match reality at all.
It fails to explain why there is a south celestial pole.
It has a tiny region of light being cast by the sun, rather than having the sun illuminate roughly half of Earth at once.
It has the shape of Australia and Antarctica completely wrong.
It has the distance between the southern continents wrong.
And so on.

Meanwhile, the globe matches quite well.
We can't help that your flat ideas don't match reality.

The surface of a sphere cannot produce this mirror image.
And yet  another baseless claim.
Why can't it?
Stop just asserting garbage and start backing it up.

Do you also think this mirror can't exist:
(https://www.barsec.com.au/images/products/landing/dome-safety-mirror.webp)

Round surfaces can produce mirror images just fine.
The only issue would be distortion due to the mirror not being flat. But over such a tiny area of Earth, the difference in angle is so small that distortion will not be noticeable.
As a comparison, it would be like looking at this portion:
(https://i.imgur.com/nImioy1.png)
which should still produce far more distortion than that expected for Earth in your photo.

You forget about winter in the north. On a Globe and about the same time, one should see see it before twilight and the other, after twilight. But they have to wait 12 hours because Earth is a Plane.

What star charts are you using? As far as I know for some days in the month of june three observers placed in australia, south africa and south america facing south will all see the southern cross at the same time provided clear sky and night in the three places.

This had been already discussed in this forum and no FE seems to be able to explain it.

As far as you know??  Ok, how far is that?

And your argument is also with Macarios. So give him a reply because he disagrees with you.

You are the master of deflection, I don't see any contradiction with what Macarios said.

Some some days in June it's night time at the same time in east Australia and Chile. On those days you can see the southern cross from both places at the same time. That wouldn't be possible in your toy FE.

Crux is a circumpolar constellation south of 34°S,  it never sets below the horizon in those southern latitudes. Here's a video of the crux rotating around the celestial south pole seen from New Zealand, if you dont believe it go south and check for yourself:



And from the south pole:

No we do not forget about winter!

Near the June Solstice the Southern Cross can be seen all night and every night in the southern parts of both Australia and South America.

Hence during that period the the Southern Cross can be seen before dawn in South-Eastern Australia and after twilight in South-Western South America.

There are no 12 hours to wait in Australia!

 1.Sunsets and sun rises appear to show the circle emerge from behind an edged horizon.  Why?
 2. Ships coming would rise out of thwater and going would disappear botttom first.  Why?
 3. The moon would cycle regularly but a special occurance during lunar eclipses show a shadow crossing ans they got to see the phases in action.  Why?

1. There is evidence of the Sun fading away above the horizon. Why?  (So, it's inconclusive.)
2. There is evidence of a surface mirage blocking the view of the boat. Why?  (So, it's inconclusive)
3. There is evidence of both the Sun and Moon being above the horizon during a lunar eclipse; not in a 180° alignment. Proving it's not Earths shadow.

There are 3 conditions, that allow you to see a partial lunar eclipse on a globe, 2 are geometric. Not during the total phase.
There are NO geometric conditions that a lunar eclipse can happen on the FE model.

The fact that the Sun and Moon being above the horizon during a lunar eclipse and not in a 180° alignment destroys Sphere Earth's mechanics. That's what matters right now and here at this time. Give up and accept defeat!

No fading.
Actually disapparing on the horizon bottom up.
When viewed not just on shtty foggy days.

2.
See 1 as they are similar.

They can because we can usually see the sun and moon (with very clear skies) when they are about 0.5° below the geometric horizon.

So no it does not destroy the "Sphere Earth's mechanics" in the slightest.

Now, before we go further into this YOU must explain exactly how a lunar eclipse can occur on your flat earth with the sun and moon circling about 3000 miles above it.

While you are at it, how is it possible, on your flat earth, for everyone that can see the moon to see it in the same phase?

Perspective. Even a taller mountain off in a distance is going to appear smaller than closer ones, even on a Plane Earth.
I'm not talking about them appearing smaller, I'm talking about points at a specific elevation appearing below a straight line of sight along that same elevation. 

Along a straight line of sight, things below that line of sight appear to rise to it as distance is increased, and things above it appear to lower to it as distance is increased.  Do you agree with that statement?


This post is in reply to most arguments above.  Arguments that have been addressed here at the FE forum many times but ignored.  Please don’t ignore the lights of the city at 52.72 miles away. They should be hidden by bulge of water.  And notice there is a horizon and not a curvizon.
Do you know how much should be hidden from view?  Yes, there is a horizon, and no, there's no left to right curve visible, as is expected with a high magnification shot on a globe.

Then Earth must be cylinder shaped. You can't have it both ways.
*edited to fit your parameters*- When zooming in on a curved line, the curve of the line does appears to lessen.  Do you agree?


Our small Sun reaches a point where it can't continue to cast light on the MT
And yet it remains the same size all day.  How high do you think the sun is, and how far away would it need to be to be 1 degree above the horizon?  How far away would it need to be to appear to touch the horizon?

No one said that and we only know what has been written in that period.

So your making a statement like "People just followed blindly, right?" is simply ridiculous. 

But I repeat again and again till I'm sick of saying it! You are the one asking, "When will RE Community Accept Defeat?"
The answer is simply that the evidence accumulated over a couple millennia could be said to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the earth is a slowly rotating Globe.

Until you provide evidence to the contrary you are "whistling in the wind"! You silly memes, etc, do nothing but prove your own ignorance.

Run off and learn about the Globe, the Heliocentric Solar System and why these were accepted before trying to refute them.

There was plenty of initial evidence to see the earth as a Globe instead of the earlier flat earth belief.
And the Globe fitted with later evidence from the earth and astronomy.

So you have to learn a tremendous amount more before you can even scratch the surface.

I think you have your flat earth cart before your flogged to death horse.
All of what you say is no more than hot air. The fact the earth is a sphere is simply beyond doubt. The real problem is not one of ‘indoctrination’ as you put it but education and reality and the fact that your appear unable to accept the truth.
The proof for a spherical earth is everywhere, proof that you for some reason only known to yourself are unable to accept.

Because you simply reject any data that challenges your worldview.  Plenty of people here have provided logical proofs that, at a minimum, would require you to rework your initial arguments.  Yet you refuse and continue to argue, ad nauseam, the same points.  In fact, I've provided evidence, which you ignored, proving celestial navigation was used at least 500 years ago, which base principles require the movement of stars in the night sky to parallel that of a spherical Earth.  You never even responded to that post (or if you did, deleted that comment, which seems to be something you do).

So, who are the real ignorant and persuasive group?  Are they the ones who rejected the idea on grounds of no real evidence or those who accepted it as indoctrination without real evidence?

Indoctrination is equivalent to brainwashing.  If an individual arrives at a conclusion based on simple, observable phenomena that aligns with reason and logic, I would not consider them brainwashed/indoctrinated.  I stand on the beach near Long Beach, CA and look out towards Catalina.  I can see Catalina, but I cannot see Avalon.  I can see oil rigs, and with the closer ones I can see the legs going down into the water.  The more distant ones, I can only see the platform.  I can see container ships leaving the port of Long Beach, and the slowly disappear, bottom first, as they go over the horizon.  These are all observations I can make absent any outside influence.  They all point to the Earth not being flat.  A ship disappearing bottom up as it sails into the distance?  That is proof of a curved surface.

Yes, the Globe theory began through ignorance and indoctrination. That’s something to be proud of, defend and support.

I'm not running from peer review.  I'm not concocting ludicrous notions like NASA being a cult and the world superpowers have created a cabal that prevents me from visiting Antarctica.  You want to talk about paranoia, delusion, ignorance, and indoctrination?  Please, sort your own garden first.

No one in their right mind can look at a horizon like this (below) and think Earth is a sphere. They have to go through a processes of indoctrination.

At the very least, I can look at it and conclude it isn't flat.

It is believed that those who embraced a sphere Earth before the modern era  were smart and those who embraced a Flat Earth were ignorant. Yet no one can provide the hard evidence of sphere Earth used at that time to prove to the people Earth is a sphere. Why?

So, who are the real ignorant and persuasive group?  Are they the ones who rejected the idea on grounds of no real evidence or those who accepted it as indoctrination without real evidence?

Yes, the Globe theory began through ignorance and indoctrination. That’s something to be proud of, defend and support.

No one in their right mind can look at a horizon like this (below) and think Earth is a sphere. They have to go through a processes of indoctrination.

I think you have your flat earth cart before your flogged to death horse.
All of what you say is no more than hot air. The fact the earth is a sphere is simply beyond doubt. The real problem is not one of ‘indoctrination’ as you put it but education and reality and the fact that your appear unable to accept the truth.
The proof for a spherical earth is everywhere, proof that you for some reason only known to yourself are unable to accept.
You point to a picture and say this is proof! What would you expect to see in your picture if the earth were spherical? Remember the earth is big!

Do you believe in more than two genders, Global warming, fake news is real? All are in the education system.

Sure, "It is believed that those who embraced a sphere Earth before the modern era were smart" because the based there belief on evidence accumulated over centuries.

But who claimed that, "those who embraced a Flat Earth were ignorant". The few "who embraced a Flat Earth" mainly "embraced a Flat Earth" for religious reasons and not evidence.

That is simply a silly expectation because all we have is what survives of what was written then.

There is, however, much written by Ptolemy, a Greco-Roman, The Venerable Bede, English, Al Biruni, of Persia, and Johannes de Sacrobosco, of France.

But I'm not going to waste my time detailing all of that just to have you ignore as you do with everything else.

The ignorant ones are you flat earthers who reject the Globe with no real evidence!

And most flat earthers accepted the flat earth by what amounts to indoctrination from sources like far earth YouTube videos that show no real evidence!

Quote from: Plat Terra
Yes, the Globe theory began through ignorance and indoctrination.
That is a total fabrication and you have no credible basis for such a claim!

There is a tremendous amount of evidence that, before around 600 BC, the earth was considered flat but with like semblance to the current ludicrous flat earth model!

The change to seeing the earth as a Globe came as people travelled further and gathered evidence that did not fit their earlier beliefs.

Answer the question. The issue is about two different shapes of a world. You answer is biased.

The Southern Cross is part of the constellations that let any navigator in the southern hemisphere find due south.  That would make it...due south.  Meaning, YES, it is due south for anyone in the southern hemisphere looking south.  That is the reason I presented the Sigma Octantis paradox; if the Earth is flat, the location of this constellation is paradoxical.  It would need to be in multiple locations at the same time.  However, in this reality, it isn't.  We find it due south in the southern hemisphere for anyone that observes it, simultaneously at the same location and it isn't a paradox if the Earth is a sphere.

Have you ever wondered why Polaris doesn't have this problem?  Did it ever dawn on you that Rowbotham, an Englishman that never visited a location south of the equator and dropped out of school at the age of nine, would invent an ideology that never accounted for anything beyond places that he visited?  The idea of a flat Earth was born from a man that was too stupid to conceptualize the implications of his own lie.

Have you read all those volumes yet ;D?

Look the early flat earth models of the Sumerians, the Babylonians and the ancient Greeks fitted the limited regions of earth where they live.

But those models simply do not work at all for the whole earth as was known even from the early centuries AD.

So, Rowbotham "invented" a flat earth model with the sun, moon, planets and stars circling above.
But Rowbotham had little knowledge of the rest of the earth and virtually none of the Southern Hemisphere.
As a result the "modern flat earth model" simply does not work for numerous reasons!

Get you own huge problems sorted out before displaying more of your pathetic ignorance about the Globe!

YOU post some answers as to your own flat earth model because I've never seen one that works!

So you flat earthers have to claim some ridiculous 2000 year old global conspiracy to hide the true shape of the earth!

If there is no huge conspiracy why are photos like these accepted as the clincher that the earth is a Globe?

During certain times of the year, both Cape Hope and Cape Horn can simultaneously see Sigma Octantis.  Here is the problem with Sigma Octantis and the notion that the Earth is flat:

(https://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj635/Gumwars/Sigma%20Octantis%20Paradox_zpsguob6y8c.jpg) (http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/Gumwars/media/Sigma%20Octantis%20Paradox_zpsguob6y8c.jpg.html)

If the Earth is flat, why can two people looking due south see Sigma Octantis in two different locations?  This is a paradox that has yet to be solved by the FE community.  A person standing at Cape Hope should, if the Earth is flat, see this constellation both due south and to the west while a person standing at Cape Horn would see it both south and again to the east.  We know this to not be the case in reality.  The Southern Cross always presents itself to the south, as Polaris always appears to the north.

Has anyone proved it is seen due south at the same locations at the same time?

The proof is up in the sky for everyone to see. You only need to be south at night and have a pair of eyes.

The southern cross is visible south above the horizon for the whole night from any location south of 34 degrees. When its night in southern australia and southern chile at the same time they both see it at the same time at inverted positions, since they are looking from opposite sides of the south pole.

The southern sky circles around the southern celestial pole in clockwise direction just as RE expect.

The proof is up in the sky, you just have to look up:

As I wrote in a blog post discussing this article, the following article comes to us from the January 11, 1907 edition of the Hawaiian Gazette and alleges to be a map of the world made in Japan more than 1,000 years ago. But as critical readers will notice, the story has more than a few hints of the Zeno Map story. As with that infamous map, this one is also a redrawn modern copy of an allegedly ancient map unseen by anyone. Like the Zeno Map, the original was also allegedly rotten with age, explained by a mysterious ancient letter unseen by anyone else, and it also serves to glorify the geographic areas connected to its “discoverer.” In this case a Japanese resident of Hawaii found a map in Japan that was ignorant of Madagascar, Greenland, and Polynesia but somehow managed to include Hawaii front and center!
 
There’s a pretty good indication that the journalist who wrote the piece knew it was a hoax: He compares it to James De Mille’s 1888 novel Manuscript found in a Copper Cylinder, a satirical tale of an underground world.

Add to platas list of stupid questions/ requests - provide hard evidence from 500yrs ago.

Why?
We have perfectly good photos from now.
Should we provide hard evidence from 500yrs ago that eating raw chicken will give you the shts?
You can try it yourself today (dont, im being sarcastic and yes i have to disclaimer this obvious point because you, plata, are not smart).

And the evidence for roundness has been given to you.

What hard evidence do you need?
A caveman rock carved model globe?
Oh wait.
How about
1.There is that ancient smart guy who within a pretty good margin of error calculated the diameter as later verified by present day smart people.
2.
Then there was the antikythera, a physical artifact, which could plot the planets using gears.

Ah, to die knowing what you believed is a just plain wrong, and to know people ridicule you for your at-best-medieval view!

Yes, it’s a shame the medieval astronomers warped the minds of people with all types of fantasies that continue today as truth. They could have explored other reigons on the infinite Plane, instead of being bound to a world they thought was a sphere and could never leave.  What a true shame.

That simply asks a question, "Was this world map made ten centuries ago? " There's no evidence or proof of anything there.
And are newspapers evidence of anything? Hardly!

Especially as!

(http://www.jasoncolavito.com/the-1907-ancient-world-map-hoax.html)
As I wrote in a blog post discussing this article, the following article comes to us from the January 11, 1907 edition of the Hawaiian Gazette and alleges to be a map of the world made in Japan more than 1,000 years ago. But as critical readers will notice, the story has more than a few hints of the Zeno Map story. As with that infamous map, this one is also a redrawn modern copy of an allegedly ancient map unseen by anyone. Like the Zeno Map, the original was also allegedly rotten with age, explained by a mysterious ancient letter unseen by anyone else, and it also serves to glorify the geographic areas connected to its “discoverer.” In this case a Japanese resident of Hawaii found a map in Japan that was ignorant of Madagascar, Greenland, and Polynesia but somehow managed to include Hawaii front and center!
 
There’s a pretty good indication that the journalist who wrote the piece knew it was a hoax: He compares it to James De Mille’s 1888 novel Manuscript found in a Copper Cylinder, a satirical tale of an underground world.

Run away and stop foisting more flat earth hoaxes on us!

I expect the opposition to muddy the waters’.  If it were a Globe Earth map you would praise the newspaper, but since the center looks similar to the Gleason Map it must be discredited at all cost.

The following Gleason map will let you know were the Sun is any time of the day.

OK mr Terra...explain this.
Why does the moon appear to be upside down when viewed the the Southern Hemisphere, as compared to how it looks in the Northern Hemisphere?  You can add to that constellations like Orion.?


Because those in the south are looking north. It's all about "Orientation". Face south lean back and look at the Moon and you can see the same face as those in the north.

It shouldn't be difficult to draw things to scale if the moon is only 5000 km high.

Why would anyone
Repeatedly ignoring the answers that have been provided too you won't magically make them go away.
They didn't need a life changing evidence 500 years ago as they already knew Earth was round.
People figured that out thousands of years ago when people actually started thinking rather than just assuming.

The real question is where is the life changing evidence to indicate Earth is flat?
No one has ever been able to provide it.
No one has ever been able to show a problem with the RE which FE can solve.

All the evidence indicates Earth is round.
Even the very horizon you repeatedly focus on show Earth is round due the horizon being a clear line rather than fading to a blur.

1. There is evidence of the Sun fading away above the horizon. Why?
Because objects can still obscure it.
It has never been observed to fade to a point and vanish as required for a FE.
If the Earth was flat with the common FE model it would NEVER appear to set below the horizon. Instead it would either fade away high in the sky or always be visible.

2. There is evidence of a surface mirage blocking the view of the boat. Why?  (So, it's inconclusive)
Where? You are yet to provide any. You have repeatedly asserted it, but yet to demonstrate it.

3. There is evidence of both the Sun and Moon being above the horizon during a lunar eclipse; not in a 180° alignment. Proving it's not Earths shadow.
A lunar eclipse does not require perfect alignment.
Them both being above the horizon does note require them to both be out of perfect alignment.
As such, that in no way demonstrates that the lunar eclipse is not cause by Earth's shadow.
The fact that this only ever happens when both are right on the horizon, and that lunar eclipses only ever occur when the moon and sun are close to 180 degrees apart indicates it is Earth's shadow causing the eclipse.

Common sense doesn't tell us Earth is flat. It tells us FEers are trolls or fools.

The same rotation of the Stars as those in the North.
No, quite different.
One rotates clockwise, the other counter clockwise.

Yes everywhere on the Globe people see the same face and phase of the moon but in the Southern Hemisphere we see the moon rotated compared to those in the Northern Hemisphere.

Here is the moon from my back yard near Brisbane in Australia.

Super Moon -11 th of November 2016 22:17:45 EAST

This post showed a couple of better photos than mine:
When viewed from the southern hemisphere, the moon appears to be upside down.  If viewed from the equator, it appears to be lying on its side.
How can this be on a flat earth.  Surely the fact that the moon appears to rotate as you travel from northern to southern hemisphere means the earth must be curved.
Surely this proves the earth is a spherical object?
Any opinions?
There are some photos of that in Re: observation of orientation of the spots on moon or sun from south pole of earth. (https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=75194.msg2048500;topicseen#msg2048500)
Here are the photos from that article:

Full Moon from the northern hemisphere

How do those compare with the moon you see?

But the moon, about 3000 miles above the flat earth, seems to have a huge problem in explaining how everyone can see the same face of the moon. See this earlier post.
Please show how you flat earth model explains lunar phases especially the part where everybody that can see the the moon sees it almost exactly the same phase and shape.

With the moon only 5000 km above the flat earth earth, people in different locations should see quite different faces of the moon as in:
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/q4prbysxnwazj6f/Full%20Moon%20for%203000%20mile%20moon%20over%20Flat%20Earth.jpg?dl=1)
Where it would seem that if people in the USA see the full moon people in South America would see only a half moon and a quite different face.

But they do not - everyone sees the same phase and the same face! How can this be possible?

If my diagrams are inaccurate, I would be quite pleased to see accurate ones.

Hi Platt, apologies for the delay, first post. Been trying to register for a couple of days.

Firstly genuinely like your question, I love any question that makes you think and question any assumptions being made.

So I thought I would try and answer your question from a personal perspective, civil engineering, on how I would prove the curvature of the earth.

Within your timescale 500-1500 years ago I would be relying on arguments already presented, objects sinking into the horizon, observations of lunar eclipses, expanding my field of view with elevation, thought experiments regarding observing stars but not bright lights from distant cities, seasons, if I was able to travel extensively the differences experienced travelling through time zones, sunsets, star movements and the orbits of the visible planets.

Why would I be looking at things this way seeking answers, well the theory of the globe had been proven over 2000 years ago, Eratosthenes, and the first globe model appeared shortly after that, Crates of Mallus. The theory was hypothesised long before that, then proven and generally accepted via Eratosthenes experiment. What was discussed for a millennia after that was whether the earth or the sun was the centre point around which everything went around.

So looking at what had come before me I would have the principle of a round earth,  my own observations and a number of proven experiments. But I still would not be able to demonstrate that physically to you myself, if you popped up and asked me.

I can only go back 469 years before I could do that, with the invention of the theodolite. Admittedly the 16th century theodolite is pretty crude, the mid 18th century model is the breakthrough, a design still found in modern mechanical theodolites.

Pretty crude but still workable. A lot of hard work based on the increased number of instrument moves required, sadly no telescope on my early theodolite, but topographical surveying is born.

Theodolites measure both horizontal and vertical angle using the same instrument. So i can set up a topographical survey, probably using a single line loop traverse, to check for errors in my measurements. Then I can both give an xyz to any point within my survey,  triangulation had been invented 20 years prior to the theodolite, but also measure the angle if my start and furthest point.

Taking the angle measurements I can plug them into Eratosthenes experiment and not only replicate it but provide a more accurate answer.

 1. Of course pictures from the alleged ISS are fake. Thanks!

2. The other two are correct? OK, thanks for admitting this. More on this later. But for now, the ISS observation window is not a camera lens. The camera lens is on the camera inside the fake ISS  that’s taken the picture of Earth through the window. The optics of the camera is not going to reach through the outer wall and reshape the earth differently from what’s seen through the window. Camera optics don’t work like that.

What your post proves is you’re desperate and will say illogical statements to defend a lie.

See again, another fake picture from the alleged ISS of a small sphere Earth. Compare the two.

(https://i.imgur.com/YAG9P5A.jpg)

So how much of the earth would you expect to see looking straight down from the ISS with such a small window?

Why do I have to point out it's fake?

If it were real, you should be able to see a lake or river in Istanbul.

Look mommy, I can see a lake from the ISS!!

(https://i.imgur.com/uJrcXqW.jpg)

Have you ever been in Istanbul? What lake or river should I see?

You should see the one taking up the view of the center window.

Look this is Istanbul. The body of water in the middle is not a lake or a river, it's the sea of Marmara. So what part of Istanbul surroundings is missing in the picture from the ISS again?
(https://i.imgur.com/fG69jXJ.jpg)

I meant Turkey.  The picture I posted has a view of a river or lake as viewed from the center window. The picture you posted has the country turkey in the same window. Two different magnifications from the same window. And one picture has the entire Earth and the other a horizon of Earth. Fake pictures from NASA.

First I don't know where you found the "lake picture", please clarify the origin of this picture, prove it comes from NASA or other space agency, then we can discuss it. As stated above I could only find this image in a marketplace for digital assets.

The picture that shows Istanbul doesn't show the entire earth, just Istanbul and surrounding west turkey (beautiful country, I love Turkey btw). The window is small and ISS orbits is not that high up.

The docking port is on the ISS. IIRC there is more than one. Why would that matter? The point is that another spacecraft might be in a higher orbit to slow down in relation to the station in order to match orbits before docking. This appears to be relatively close anyway so it could be at almost any time before docking or after undocking. There is no problem with it being slightly higher than the station. Only YOU seem to have an issue with it proving your ignorance once again.

Thanks for the humor!

Not sure where you got this image from, but it has come up before. Here's what I found the last time:

That image is a creation by ESO.org, as part of a planetarium presentation using what they call "fulldome" imagery. It's 'fake', if you will, and never intended to not be. It's part of planetarium presentations they have to aid in displaying the wonders of the cosmos, as planetariums tend to do. Here are a bunch more.

https://www.eso.org/public/videos/archive/category/fulldome/

But my favorite thing is when those, like yourself, overly saddled with conspiratorial proclivities and inclinations are prone to jump on any web image, video or otherwise that triggers a belief system spasm, much like you have presented here. Keep up the good work.

No, images from the ISS are not fake. Your picture is fake because it is not made from the ISS and it's your problem because you are using it and you can't say where it comes from. It certainly doesn't come from NASA or other space agencies.

Did you take the image from this video?

But I know it is "Photoshopped" and is NOT a genuine NASA photo and I believe I know the source of it.

So, Mr Plat Terra, if you want to "prove" NASA fakes photos YOU must know and post the source of your photo to prove that they are from NASA's image library!

Rab, that last picture from Plat looks very fake. It looks as it was made from a plane at much lower altitude than the ISS, then the ISS window was superposed.  It comes from a video made by some guy, which can be bought at online market places like this:

NASA continues to prove they fake Space. You just have to know where to look.  Different pictures of the ISS observation window reveal many different shapes and sizes of Earth.
You mean you continue to prove you either have no idea what you are talking about or are blatantly lying to everyone.

Amazingly enough, different cameras and even different settings on a camera result in different pictures which makes objects appear different.
The first looks like a fish eye lens, the second a normal camera.
As pointed out by others, the third is almost certainly a fake. In order for it to be a real photo the ISS would have had to have been at a different angle, as that observation window points down, so Earth should be in the centre.

But as already pointed out, providing a fake photo doesn't show that NASA fakes anything. It shows that you or someone else fakes it.
In order to show NASA is faking it you need to show the picture from NASA, preferably in its original context, to show that NASA is presenting it as a genuine photo, and then also show it is fake.

So without linking to the NASA source, you have proven absolutely nothing about NASA.

And no, the third does not show a flat Earth.

Why do I have to point out it's fake?
You have to justify your claim that it is fake if you want any rational person to admit defeat.
You are yet to do so, all you have done is baselessly asserted nonsense.

If it were real, you should be able to see a lake or river in Turkey.
You mean like the sea of Marmara, which is clearly visible as the large body of water, Illichivsk - Derince cutting through Istanbul, or Iznik Golu just to the south?

Thanks for once again showing you are happy to reject what is clearly visible just to try and attack reality and promote your FE fantasy.

Two different magnifications from the same window.
I wouldn't call them magnifications. You get 2 different views from 2 different cameras.
Again, there is nothing surprising about that.

All pictures of Earth viewed through the observation window are fake. You're problem, not mine.
No, it is entirely your problem, as all we have to indicate the photos from NASA are fake is your worthless, baseless claim.

And why is Earth larger in some pics than others even though the picture is taken from the same altitude as the ISS?

But as critical readers will notice, the story has more than a few hints of the Zeno Map story. As with that infamous map, this one is also a redrawn modern copy of an allegedly ancient map unseen by anyone. Like the Zeno Map, the original was also allegedly rotten with age, explained by a mysterious ancient letter unseen by anyone else, and it also serves to glorify the geographic areas connected to its “discoverer.” In this case a Japanese resident of Hawaii found a map in Japan that was ignorant of Madagascar, Greenland, and Polynesia but somehow managed to include Hawaii front and center!
 
There’s a pretty good indication that the journalist who wrote the piece knew it was a hoax: He compares it to James De Mille’s 1888 novel Manuscript found in a Copper Cylinder, a satirical tale of an underground world.

Your answer is a clear demonstration that you don’t understand the question. Leaning back is no  answer. The moon in the Southern Hemisphere is upside down compared to the view from the Northern Hemisphere......let me repeat, upside down.

Next?  OK,
Why don’t you write NASA and ask them why is the form and shape of Earth’s circumference never the same in the ISS selfies?  In some photos it continues to warp and never appears to be the same continues curve from one side (from center) to the other and from one picture to the other. And why is Earth larger in some pics than others even though the picture is taken from the same altitude as the ISS?

Ask them why, Earth’s shape is never uniform in these photos. Why? These are logical questions the Globe community must address and get an answer from NASA.

(https://i.imgur.com/I2W4WFB.jpg)

I don't have to ask them they tell us when you look up the details of a given, official image. It comes down to camera and lenses. Quite simple really. For instance, a 43 mm lens on a full frame camera is roughly equivalent to the human eye. Here's a shot from NASA, ISS040-E-068656, captioned:
"(16 July 2014) --- The Orbital Sciences’ Cygnus cargo craft (bottom center) is photographed by an Expedition 40 crew member on the International Space Station during rendezvous and capture operations."

Space Station Live: Williams Talks Candidly about Cameras

Known for the high level of detail they can capture, wide dynamic range, and high ISO performance, NASA’s weapon of choice today is the Nikon D4, of which the ISS houses several, along with a wide selection of Nikon lenses, including the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR shown in this image.

(https://www.diyphotography.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/iss_d4_800.jpg.optimal.jpg)

NASA range of lenses includes everything from super wide angle, to “several” of the massive Nikon 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR, which becomes 1120mm equivalent when used with the Nikon AF-S FX TC-14E III 1.4x Teleconverter.

About twice a year the camera captures the Moon and Earth together as the orbit of DSCOVR crosses the orbital plane of the Moon.

These images were taken between 3:50 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. EDT showing the moon moving over the Pacific Ocean near North America.
The North Pole is in the upper left corner of the image. It is in the original orientation as taken by the spacecraft.

the clouds do move. Not much as they are large systems and the entire time lapse is only about 5 hours IIRC correctly but there are changes.
the Moon looks correct as it is the far side of the Moon and appears darker as it is exposed with the much brighter Earth.
The movement is correct given the distance and zoom level. The Earth rotates as it should for the approximately 5 hours of the time lapse. The Moon moves as much as it should in its orbit for the same amount of time. You are forgetting the far larger orbit of the Moon likely because of the zoom from the camera.
The relative sizes are correct given the distance and zoom level.

Do you need a reminder that different lenses can make objects appear different relative to each other?

Do the sums - if you are able ;D!

How much should the clouds move in the hour between each frame? Maybe all of 20 km ;D ;D?
How far is is 20 km one that video? Maybe ONE PIXEL! Get real ::)!

It is lit up exactly as it would be on a full moon! Do the sums - if you are able ;D!

From this photo:

epic_1b_20160705052503_01
The average brightness of the earth (on a scale of 0 to 255) is about 106 and the moon is about 45.
So the earth is about 2.4 times as bright as the moon
The quoted albedo's for the earth and moon are 30% and 12% so the earth's reflectivity is about 2.5 times that of the moon.

That's close enough for me!

Quote from: Plat Terra
The Moon is keeping up with Earth's rotation. This is not possible with the mechanics of your Globe.

The earth's surface moves its circumference in 24 hours and 40,075 km in 24 hours or 464 metres per second.
The moon moves the circumference of its orbit in 29.53 days and 2 x π x 384,400 km in 29.53 x 24 hours is 947 metres per second.

There is a little more to it than that because the moon is closer to the camera - I'll let you work that out!

So, of course, the moon "The Moon is" more that "keeping up with Earth's rotation" only someone ignorant of "the mechanics of your Globe" would claim otherwise.

You are simply showing you total utter ignorance over and over in EVERY post!
In the EPIC photo, the far-side of the moon is photographed against the far brighter fully lit earth! The comparative brightness is quite correct.
At night you see the full near-side of the full moon against the night sky - but you can't understand such simple logic.

And obviously Cannot do the sums ;D!

Take some sound advice! Quit now before you make a far bigger fool of yourself!

Can anyone here tell me what else is wrong with this NASA official imagery Rab posted?  It's more than just a fake moon, clouds that don’t move and the speed of the Moon in relation to Earth’s rotation.

What more is there?  Have a close look.

These images were taken between 3:50 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. EDT showing the moon moving over the Pacific Ocean near North America.

the clouds do move. Not much as they are large systems and the entire time lapse is only about 5 hours IIRC correctly but there are changes.
the Moon looks correct as it is the far side of the Moon and appears darker as it is exposed with the much brighter Earth.
The movement is correct given the distance and zoom level. The Earth rotates as it should for the approximately 5 hours of the time lapse. The Moon moves as much as it should in its orbit for the same amount of time. You are forgetting the far larger orbit of the Moon likely because of the zoom from the camera.
The relative sizes are correct given the distance and zoom level.

Do you need a reminder that different lenses can make objects appear different relative to each other?

Do you really.  Plat Terra, you are either a troll (which would be funny, I would appreciate the humor in that) or tragically dense.  Through the course of this thread the only thing you've done consistently is validate how fractured this worldview is.  Everyone, minus you, that has responded to your imbecilic posts has done so with the effort to educate, point out logical inconsistencies, and provide supports that indicate a world that is, at the very least, not flat. 

You've responded with nonsensical retorts that have me wondering if you aren't some comical chatbot that James Davis coded for entertainment.  You literally asked me is the Southern Cross to the south, and is it visible to people looking south.  I can't even comprehend what educational deficit exists inbetween your ears.

A NASA camera aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured a unique view of the moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. The series of test images shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth.

The images were captured by NASA’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC), a four megapixel CCD camera and telescope on the DSCOVR satellite orbiting 1 million miles from Earth. From its position between the sun and Earth, DSCOVR conducts its primary mission of real-time solar wind monitoring for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

EPIC maintains a constant view of the fully illuminated Earth as it rotates, providing scientific observations of ozone, vegetation, cloud height and aerosols in the atmosphere. Once EPIC begins regular observations next month, the camera will provide a series of Earth images allowing study of daily variations over the entire globe. About twice a year the camera will capture the moon and Earth together as the orbit of DSCOVR crosses the orbital plane of the moon.

These images were taken between 3:50 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. EDT on July 16, showing the moon moving over the Pacific Ocean near North America. The North Pole is in the upper left corner of the image. It is in the original orientation as taken by the spacecraft.

Good job at demonstrating the logical fallacy "argument of incredulity":

Concluding that because you can't or refuse to believe something, it must not be true, improbable, or the argument must be flawed. This is a specific form of the argument from ignorance.

You havent shown anything wrong with the space photos or videos, just your own ignorance. You have even been caught using falsified pictures.

Jumping to some more NASA pictures is just your way avoid discussing the things that FE cant explain, such simple stuff as sunset, sunrise, moon phases and the night sky in the south, not to mention the utter lack of evidence for an 100.000 km plus long antarctic wall and all your other absurd claims.

I've never knowingly posted a fake photo or video without explaining why I did and it's source if possible.
It's not a "video" as such but a "motion gif" animation made from photos taken an hour apart by the EPICamera on the DSCOVR satellite

And you've never apologised for the dozens of deceptive and simply incorrect memes ant posts you have made even after the facts were pointed out.

For instance the meme in this post is totally incorrect and borders on outright lying on you part,  Flat Earth Society Memes « Reply #283 » (https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=60834.msg2198957#msg2198957).

But I've seen no retraction nor apology!

Again you made these quite incorrect claims:
The Clouds don't move.

The back side of the moon is dark but should be lit up like a full moon.

By the way, a little word of advice. Your topic is, "When will RE Community Accept Defeat?"

So just get it into your head that YOU are trying to show why we should admit defeat.

You need to convince us that the Heliocentric Globe is wrong.

Simply saying a photo is fake with no solid proof is useless.
If your think a photo, animation or video is a fake you must give better reasons than you have so far.
They just prove that you don't know what you are talking about.

I, for one, take no notice of empty words no matter how times you repeat them.

And the Heliocentric Globe doesn't depend on NASA anyway, not in the slightest!

In other words everything you've posted has been a total waste of time as far achieving your goal is concerned.

Ask them why, Earth’s shape is never uniform in these photos. Why? These are logical questions the Globe community must address and get an answer from NASA.
No they aren't.
These are questions you should be asking photographers, or just by going outside.
You are using cropped photos from various distances.
It isn't surprising that Earth looks different in them.
It is like taking 2 pictures of a ball, cropping them to show different sections of the ball, then complaining they don't show the same section.

Once again you are not showing a problem with a RE, you are showing a problem with yourself. Either you have no idea what you are talking about or are blatantly lying.

The Clouds don't move.
The clouds do move. You ignoring reality wont change it.

The back side of the moon is dark but should be lit up like a full moon.
Again, it is lit up. You ignoring these facts won't magically make them go away.

The Moon is keeping up with Earth's rotation.
No it isn't. It is merely passing between Earth and the satellite.
There is literally no reason to magically jump to it keeping up with Earth's rotation.

This is what a Full Moon looks like
In a dark night sky with a particular exposure setting and white balance.
Earth reflects much more light than the moon. If you had the same exposure settings Earth would be completely washed out.
Also, it shouldn't appear the same as from Earth as it is the other side of the moon, and as the moon is the only thing in your picture, it wouldn't be surprising for the camera to auto-adjust to make it white.

So yet again, no problem with a RE, and absolutely nothing to indicate these pictures are fake.

These images were taken between 3:50 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. EDT showing the moon moving over the Pacific Ocean near North America.
I take it your plan is to ignore the other information provided on the page and pretend they were taken on the date the image was published and thus claim the moon should have been over Europe at that time and it should have been a full moon?

The page clearly states they were taken in 2015.
If you bother looking you can find this page:
https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/from-a-million-miles-away-nasa-camera-shows-moon-crossing-face-of-earth
Or this one:
https://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/galleries/2015/lunar_transit
Which both state quite clearly that it was taken on July 16.
So we see that it should be from 1550 to 2045, on July 16, 2015.
So if we do an honest search we get this:

It’s no different than looking up at the Moon 5’ from the equator and walking 5’ across and looking up again without turning north. It's all about "Orientation". Deal with it!

It isn't just a question of perspective,  FE doesn't work.

If the moon were just 50 km wide and 5000 km high, two observers separated by 10.000 km of flat disk looking at the moon at the same time would just see different parts of the moon. The observers would be at 90° angle from the moon.

In FE there would be almost not far side of the moon, as most of the moon would be visible from the earth.

In reality two observers in S.America and N.America 10.000 km away from each other see the same side of the moon, just upside down as RE predicts. In reality there's a far side of the moon that we never see from earth and it's roughly half of the moon.

It’s no different than looking up at the Moon 5’ from the equator and walking 5’ across and looking up again without turning north. It's all about "Orientation". Deal with it!

It isn't just a question of perspective,  FE doesn't work.

If the moon were just 50 km wide and 5000 km high, two observers separated by 10.000 km of flat disk looking at the moon at the same time would just see different parts of the moon. The observers would be at 90° angle from the moon.

In FE there would be almost not far side of the moon, as most of the moon would be visible from the earth.

In reality two observers in S.America and N.America 10.000 km away from each other see the same side of the moon, just upside down as RE predicts. In reality there's a far side of the moon that we never see from earth and it's roughly half of the moon.

Here's the demonstration:

Flat Earth Documentary: Refraction Experiments and FAQ by Research Royal Rife



In the real world lights bends towards the normal when it enters a medium with higher refractive index (denser medium). The atmosphere is denser than vacuum, lower atmosphere layers are also denser than higher. Light entering the atmosphere will therefore bend towards the normal.

Refraction will allow the observers in S.America and N.America to see even further on their side of the moon. But not to see the same side of the moon. So your problem is now bigger than before. Refraction doesn't solve your problem, but it makes it bigger.

Once again. In reality:
- all observers on the earth see the same side of the moon and same phase
- Image is inverted  South vs North hemispheres

This is not possible to solve in FE model.

Ok, so you see this and you say "Look that's a concave disk facing down"? really?

Anyway, a concave disk is even worse. Only people directly under the moon would see the moon as a circle, the rest would see an ellipsoid. For everyone to see a circle moon it has to be sphere. Flip a coin 45°, does still look like a circle?

Look at this:
Greenland, West Africa and Mexico see the same moon side, same phase. If its full moon they see all see a circle. If its first quarter they will see the moon right side.
Brazil sees the same moon but inverted. If its full moon they see all see a circle. If its first quarter they will see the moon left side.

How is this possible with your disk facing down? The moon is the middle, three places see the same, one place sees it inverted.

Due to perspective, the moon must eclipse the earth, and yet it doesn't. If you were standing on that moon's surface in the video, the earth would take up the entire sky and block out all space. All you would be able to see is blue earth.

It’s not fake.   The Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) is in a Lissajous orbit at the Sun–Earth L1 Lagrangian point.

It’s really quite a long way out, and zoomed into the Earth/Moon making the scales exactly what they should be.

"What is EPIC?
EPIC (Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera) is a 10-channel spectroradiometer (317 – 780 nm) onboard NOAA’s DSCOVR (Deep Space Climate Observatory) spacecraft. EPIC provides 10 narrow band spectral images of the entire sunlit face of Earth using a 2048x2048 pixel CCD (Charge Coupled Device) detector coupled to a 30-cm aperture Cassegrain telescope (Figure 1).

The DSCOVR spacecraft is located at the Earth-Sun Lagrange-1 (L-1) point giving EPIC a unique angular perspective that will be used in science applications to measure ozone, aerosols, cloud reflectivity, cloud height, vegetation properties, and UV radiation estimates at Earth's surface.

Field of view that EPIC sees

The EPIC instrument has a field of view (FOV) of 0.62 degrees, which is sufficient to image the entire Earth, which has a nominal size of 0.5 degrees. Because of the tilted (Lissajous) orbit about the L‐1 point, the apparent angular size of the Earth changes during the 6-month orbital period from 0.45 to 0.53 degrees."

https://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/about/epic

It’s not a ‘naked eye’ image. It’s taken through a telescope, telephoto lens. Zoomed in or zoomed out, different angular perspective views are achieved. Much like this famous shot:

If 2 objects have a fixed distance between them, then as you get further away from them, the effect of perspective making the distance object smaller than the nearer one gets less and less significant.

As an example, if the distance between the objects is 1, and you are 1 unit away from the near one as well, then assuming they were the same size, the distant one will appear 1/2 the size of the near one.
But if you move to 100 times the distance, then the far one will appear roughly 100/101=0.99 times the size.

If the further object is 4 times as large, then you just multiply by 4.

This satellite is roughly 1 million miles away from the Earth. That puts it roughly 760 000 miles from the moon, or 0.76 million miles.
So the relative ratio is 0.76.
So Earth, instead of appearing 4 times as large as the moon should only appear roughly 3 times as large.
And that is roughly what it is.

So no, there is nothing wrong with this.

Note:
Some more accurate numbers based upon the actual numbers (but still not proper trig)
The expected ratio is ~2.72342
The observed ratio is 2.27279

So I would say that is a pretty good match.

Are you able to show on the picture from what direction the Sun’s light is being cast on the alleged sphere Earth? Exactly where is the Sun in relation to Earth and the camera taking the pictures?
While I can't do it exactly, I can do it approximately, with a justification.
This satellite is in an "orbit" around the Earth-Sun L1.
This puts it almost directly between the Earth and the sun.
As the camera is pointing to Earth, that means the sun is roughly behind it.

Now try it with a concave disk facing downward.
So something that doesn't match reality at all?
The problem is to expand it to all of Earth and include the observed setting of the moon, your fictitious concave lens would need to go into Earth, and in different location.

You don't need refraction to make it work for a FE.
You need magical bendy light which bends in order to make Earth appear round.
You need nature itself conspiring against you.

Or are you just trying to have the moon work to present the same view regardless?
That doesn't work either.
The only way to have that is if the moon was a perfectly regular sphere with no surface features.

The problem is that in order to have the moon appear roughly the same to every one you need to have it very far away such that the change in position is insignificant compared to the distance to the moon.
But this then creates the problem of the moon should be in roughly the same direction for everyone.
That means the apparent change in angle of elevation needs to be the result of the surface of Earth being a different angle.
That means Earth can't be flat.

It’s no different than looking up at the Moon 5’ from the equator and walking 5’ across and looking up again without turning north. It's all about "Orientation". Deal with it!

It isn't just a question of perspective,  FE doesn't work.

If the moon were just 50 km wide and 5000 km high, two observers separated by 10.000 km of flat disk looking at the moon at the same time would just see different parts of the moon. The observers would be at 90° angle from the moon.

In FE there would be almost not far side of the moon, as most of the moon would be visible from the earth.

In reality two observers in S.America and N.America 10.000 km away from each other see the same side of the moon, just upside down as RE predicts. In reality there's a far side of the moon that we never see from earth and it's roughly half of the moon.

Here's the demonstration:

Flat Earth Documentary: Refraction Experiments and FAQ by Research Royal Rife (https://www.youtube.co/watch?v=_cs00TGz8XE&list=FLiA3u9Cp8IHtFAUtmYmskxQ&index=78&t=0s)
For example, he starts by saying the hydrogen has a higher refractive index than helium.
This is true and, at 0° C and 1 atm: H2's is 1.000132 and He's is 1.000036, but the refractive index of ordinary air is higher at 1.000293.

Then those values are at 1-atmosphere pressure and at higher altitudes they rapidly closer to that of a vacuum or simply 1.0000. So that video is irrelevant.

Atmospheric refraction has been carefully studied especially by astronomers siince the time of Tycho Brahe.
This is the sort of refraction caused by the full thickness of the atmosphere for various angles away from the vertical:

You might note that at 45° from the vertical the deviation from the vertical is only about one minute of arc.

So, forget your silly excuse of refraction explaining why people in South America and in USA could see the same face of the moon with the moon only about 3000 miles high!

If the Earth is flat, why can two people looking due south see Sigma Octantis in two different locations?  This is a paradox that has yet to be solved by the FE community.  A person standing at Cape Hope should, if the Earth is flat, see this constellation both due south and to the west while a person standing at Cape Horn would see it both south and again to the east.  We know this to not be the case in reality.  The Southern Cross always presents itself to the south, as Polaris always appears to the north.

Has anyone proved it is seen due south at the same locations at the same time?

You are LITERALLY asking if the Southern Cross can be seen to the south.  There are countless people over the course of THOUSANDS of years that have looked at it, simultaneously, from different places on Earth.  Let me put this into perspective, you just asked if people have seen a constellation in the night sky.  This is a very visible, common feature of the night sky, sort of like the Moon, Venus, or any of the other very fixed objects in the night sky.  These are features that have been around for so long that there is no recorded history of when they were discovered; that's how long we've been looking at them.  The Southern Cross and Sigma Octantis is one of those objects and it has been used for centuries to navigate the oceans south of the equator.

The absurdity of your position is that you're asking for proof that multiple people have looked at it, from different parts of the southern hemisphere, and verified that it is to the south.  In other words, that the Southern Cross is due south.  Dude, is it so hard to wrap your noodle around this?  Your question is the same as, "have you seen the sun today?"  How about Polaris, the northern star?  Seen that lately?  Can you prove to me that you saw it?

Sigma Octantis and the Southern Cross remain one of the strongest proofs that the Earth cannot be flat.  Once you claim the Gleason map is correct, Sigma Octantis immediately becomes a paradox.  There is no way to reconcile this (other than to create more paradoxes) and if you can't understand or accept it, then you are an idiot. 

I can't help you beyond this.  Simply closing your eyes and regurgitating, ad nauseam, that everyone else is wrong and you're not is pathetic.  Open your damn eyes, go down to your local community college and take an astronomy class.  You'll learn in the first class that what you're latched onto is pure nonsense.

It’s no different than looking up at the Moon 5’ from the equator and walking 5’ across and looking up again without turning north. It's all about "Orientation". Deal with it!

It isn't just a question of perspective,  FE doesn't work.

If the moon were just 50 km wide and 5000 km high, two observers separated by 10.000 km of flat disk looking at the moon at the same time would just see different parts of the moon. The observers would be at 90° angle from the moon.

In FE there would be almost not far side of the moon, as most of the moon would be visible from the earth.

In reality two observers in S.America and N.America 10.000 km away from each other see the same side of the moon, just upside down as RE predicts. In reality there's a far side of the moon that we never see from earth and it's roughly half of the moon.

Here's the demonstration:

You should take some time a look at refraction from another point of view.

A person standing at Cape Hope should, if the Earth is flat, see this constellation both due south and to the west while a person standing at Cape Horn would see it both south and again to the east.  We know this to not be the case in reality.

You literally asked me is the Southern Cross to the south, and is it visible to people looking south.

This is what I said "Has anyone proved it is seen due south at the same locations at the same time?

I did not say is the Southern Cross to the south, and is it visible to people looking south?

I will say it in another way. Has anyone proved the person in Cape Horn has seen Sigma Octantis at the same time and location as a person at Cape Hope?

This is your problem!  You cannot understand the logical implication of your own statements!!  Nothing I've written down has failed to capture the depths of your ignorance.  The fact that you are, again, asking if two people have seen the Southern Cross to the south is proof that this topic is beyond your ability to fathom.  That should frighten you!  It should be absolutely terrifying that this amazingly simple idea escapes your faculties.

Here is the logical argument you need to deal with:

1. Sigma Octantis is a real constellation visible in the night sky in the southern hemisphere of planet Earth

2. Sigma Octantis is the polar star for the south pole, just as Polaris is the polar star for the north pole

3. If the Gleason map of Earth is correct, then the north pole is located at it's center and the Earth is flat

3.a. With 3, the south pole of the planet is not a single point but a continuous ring that extends around the entire fringe of the planet

3.b. with 3a, if the south pole is a ring, then Sigma Octantis must be able to appear in multiple locations at the same time due to the south pole no longer being a single location with an absolute cardinal direction relative to an observer's location on Earth

4. Sigma Octantis is not observed to be in multiple locations

4 contradicts 3b, therefore 3a must be false.  If 3a is false then 3 is false.  If 3 is false, the Earth is not flat, or more specifically, it isn't flat as presented in the Gleason map. 

If the Gleason map is incorrect, then you need to present a version where the Sigma Octantis paradox cannot exist.  I don't need to prove that two people have observed it; how you've presented the flat Earth creates the paradox. 

Understand that the burden of proof is your responsibility, not mine.  The world being flat isn't my idea, its yours.  You need to prove it, not ask me to disprove it.  This paradox is one of those hurdles you need to clear before folks on my side of the fence pay attention to this absurd notion.

There is nothing wrong with me asking a reasonable question to see if something has been proven in a claim. You think it's absolute proof of a Globe Earth, so I simply ask, has it been proven that people have seen it at the same time due south from different locations. I did not ask you to prove it.   

Let me try again. Was a person in South America on the phone with someone in South Africa, saying, “ I can see Sigma Octantis due south right now, can you see it due south right now too or is it East?" What is wrong with asking this question?

Now try it with a concave disk facing downward.

The earth is a concave disk? the moon is a concave disk? which concave disk?

The issue was the moon.

Ok, so you see this and you say "Look that's a concave disk facing down"? really?
(https://i1.wp.com/metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/gettyimages-971550028.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&zoom=1&resize=540%2C360&ssl=1)

Anyway, a concave disk is even worse. Only people directly under the moon would see the moon as a circle, the rest would see an ellipsoid. For everyone to see a circle moon it has to be sphere. Flip a coin 45°, does still look like a circle?

Look at this:
Greenland, West Africa and Mexico see the same moon side, same phase. If its full moon they see all see a circle. If its first quarter they will see the moon right side.
Brazil sees the same moon but inverted. If its full moon they see all see a circle. If its first quarter they will see the moon left side.

(https://i.imgur.com/Z7QoezC.jpg)

How is this possible with your disk facing down? The moon is the middle, three places see the same, one place sees it inverted.

Try Concave. You have Convex.

I would agree that there is no issue with asking reasonable questions, but you are not asking a reasonable question.  There are two problems in your statement above; the first is that you are misunderstanding my position, which I've stated multiple times in our debate, I am not claiming my arguments are proof that the Earth is a globe (though the evidence strongly indicates it), I am stating that the evidence does prove that it isn't flat.  There is a difference between those two.

The second problem is how reasonable your question is.  You are asking, "has it been proven that people have seen Sigma Octantis at the same time due south from different locations."  This is not a reasonable question and you are asking me to prove it, or provide proof that it has been proven.  Why you ask?  I could point you back to my previous replies, but you do seem to earnestly want to understand this so I'll try, again, to explain this.

(https://www.timeanddate.com/scripts/sunmap.php?iso=20190831T0215)

This is a day/night terminator map; it is as of right now.  This clearly shows that for both Cape Hope and Cape Horn the sun has set.  Sigma Octantis will be visible at both locations, absent any cloud cover.  It is both possible and plausible that a person at each location can simultaneously see Sigma Octantis and both will see it due south from their relative locations. 

Let me try again. Was a person in South America on the phone with someone in South Africa, saying, “ I can see Sigma Octantis due south right now, can you see it due south right now too or is it East?" What is wrong with asking this question?

Sigma Octantis is the southern polar star.  It is always due south for anyone in the southern hemisphere, which is why it is called the southern polar star.  It has never appeared east of one person and south for another; it is always due south, just like Polaris is always due north.  This is the reason I present this problem to the FE community.  If the Gleason map is what FE considers accurate, it immediately summons the Sigma Octantis paradox.  As I mentioned previously, it isn't proof that the world is globe (though it strongly supports it), but it is proof that the world isn't flat.

There seems to be a problem viewing Sigma Octantis from Australia, and New Zealand and they are farther south than South Africa. So something is going on that’s no one can explain right now.  So it’s a weak argument.

Umm, yeah it's explainable, but shouldn't have to be. Sigma Octantis isn't as bright as Polaris. Doesn't mean it's not the closest thing we have to a south polar star. And it's why the Crux is more often used in southern hemisphere celestial navigation. Simple as that. So there's no argument to be weakened.

You are right, my bad. It doesn't change anything though. If the moon is some sort of disk, it's not going to look like circle when inclined 45°, it's going to look like an ellipsoid.

Like this?
(https://i.imgur.com/dPJZMOz.jpg)

Now think how four people would see such a disk moon when looking from North, South, East and West. Each would see the moon turned 90° from the next guy.

The person in the north would see the moon's west side on his right.
The person in the south would see the moon's east side on his right.
The person in the west would see the moon's south side on his right.
The person in the east would see the moon's north side on his right.

(https://i.imgur.com/VdMxjRx.jpg)

However reality is not like this. In the real world the full moon looks like a circle from everywhere. People west and east see the same thing, same phase.  North to south the image is flipped 180° depending on the hemisphere, but west vs east is not flipped

He's just moving goal posts.  Sigma isn't as stationary as Polaris, it forms a very tight circle over the south pole. 

Plat Terra, you've done nothing to refute the paradox and shifting the goal, an informal fallacy by the way, does nothing to refute the paradox.  Your problem remains, it remains unchallenged by you, and I'm done trying to explain it.  This is why FE is ridiculed, this is why you find yourself stuck in this endless loop of people trying to point out your logical failures and you asserting, baselessly, that you are right and we aren't.

I will say it in another way. Has anyone proved the person in Cape Horn has seen Sigma Octantis at the same time and location as a person at Cape Hope?
Plenty of people have shown that Sigma Octantis is always observed due south, just like Polaris is observed to the north.
This is fundamentally incompatible with your FE fantasy.

What is wrong with asking this question?
The fact that it is a deflection from the real issue.
The real issue is the existence of the south celestial pole, always located due south, 180 degrees from due north.
This shows a FE to be impossible. But rather than deal with that you go down the path of distraction to try and wiggle your way out of it.

There seems to be a problem viewing Sigma Octantis from Australia, and New Zealand and they are farther south than South Africa. So something is going on that’s no one can explain right now.  So it’s a weak argument.

And just more baseless claims.
Where are these videos of Sigma Octantis moving?
Just what issues are there?

So why dont you try and explain how the south celestial works on your fictitious disk?

Try Concave. You have Convex.
Why don't you?
Why don't you provide the comparable image showing just how different people in different locations can see the same moon.
Like I already pointed out, it wont help.

And I notice that now you have had your lies about NASA refuted yet again you seem to have run away from the subject.

There aren't that slightest problems but we're sick of you coming up with more idiocy before you admit your of idiocy has been well and truly debunked.

If it's videos you want here are some "star trails" from Australia:
I live in the Southern Hemisphere at about 27° S and we see the night sky looking very similar to the Northern Hemisphere night sky, except that:
1) There is no Polaris to mark the centre of rotation. There is a faint star Sigma Octantis but it's rarely even visible.
2) In the Northern Hemisphere, the stars appear to rotate anti-clockwise about Polaris but here they appear to rotate clockwise about Sigma Octantis.

Here are some star trail multiple exposure photos that far better than I could take. The colour has been enhanced on the first.
Many star trail photos are multiple exposure, especially ones with a well exposed foreground as the one on the right.
Places further south have more "circumpolar stars".

I am looking for someone who lives in Australia. someone who could record an independent film of the night sky with sigma octantis. there is an answer
I live in Australia but Sigma Octantis is not bright enough to see with the unaided eye under all but the most ideal conditions and that's not here.

Simply by stepping out my back door and looking south on any clear night
   I can see the brighter stars such as Crux (the Southern Cross) and Alpha and Beta Centauri rotating about where Sigma Octantis should be.

Stars to the south and more than 27° above the horizon appear to move left to right (ie east to west) and
stars to the south and less than 27° above the horizon appear to move right to left (ie west to east).
And this is in complete agreement with these South Queensland star trails (not my video but from near here):

   I can see the brighter stars such as Crux (the Southern Cross) and Alpha and Beta Centauri rotating about where Sigma Octantis should be.

Stars to the south and more than 27° above the horizon appear to move left to right (ie east to west) and
stars to the south and less than 27° above the horizon appear to move right to left (ie west to east).
And this is in complete agreement with these South Queensland star trails (not my video but from near here):

We've been through this, Sigma Octantis is not bright, not easy to see with the naked eye. But it is considered the south pole star. What's your problem? Can't address the myraid issues laid before you regarding your notions?

There seems to be a problem viewing Sigma Octantis from Australia, and New Zealand and they are farther south than South Africa. So something is going on that’s no one can explain right now.  So it’s a weak argument.
There aren't that slightest problems but we're sick of you coming up with more idiocy before you admit your of idiocy has been well and truly debunked.

When did you change your mind?
I didn't! I just worded that reply badly.
Sigma Octantis itself is hard to see but who cares?
It's the stars that appear to circle the South Celestial Pole that can be seen from anywhere a little south of the equator that kill any idea of an earth.
I showed you videos from Western Australia, Queensland and Chile.

This would make your idea of separate "celestial lighthouse" for a few places so weak.
You would need whole star system, including all the bright constellations, for each location.

And you forgot that early mariners and explorers use the Southern Cross (Crux) and the Pointers (Alpha and  Beta Centauri) as a guide to south.

If you don't understand what I am talking about, make yourself a scale model of the earth and moon, and move your moon 30 Earth diameters away from your earth. Now, try and recreate this image of the moon passing in front of the earth as in the video, from further away still, from your moon, where earth dwarfs the moon like in the video.

You won't be able to. The video is either a fake, or an educational video manipulation, to show the earth and moon to scale, passing one another, with the dark side of the moon facing the viewer.
If 2 objects have a fixed distance between them, then as you get further away from them, the effect of perspective making the distance object smaller than the nearer one gets less and less significant.

As an example, if the distance between the objects is 1, and you are 1 unit away from the near one as well, then assuming they were the same size, the distant one will appear 1/2 the size of the near one.
But if you move to 100 times the distance, then the far one will appear roughly 100/101=0.99 times the size.

If the further object is 4 times as large, then you just multiply by 4.

This satellite is roughly 1 million miles away from the Earth. That puts it roughly 760 000 miles from the moon, or 0.76 million miles.
So the relative ratio is 0.76.
So Earth, instead of appearing 4 times as large as the moon should only appear roughly 3 times as large.
And that is roughly what it is.

So no, there is nothing wrong with this.

Note:
Some more accurate numbers based upon the actual numbers (but still not proper trig)
The expected ratio is ~2.72342
The observed ratio is 2.27279

So I would say that is a pretty good match.

I hadn't realised there was a satellite sitting in the L1, about 1 million miles from earth, towards the sun.  :o

Idiot me.

That being the case, yes, the video is right.

I pretended to be a flat earther where I have to prove everything myself, and it also works out with earth and moon models apart from one another at the respective scaled distances.

The video is legit, plat terra.

Not being able to see it with the naked eye doesn't mean there is a problem with seeing it or that it can't be explained.

Now how about you stop with the avoidance and explain how the south celestial pole works on your pizza planet?

Yet another lie from Plat Terra. If the Moon is behind the sun (sets after) then it WILL be visible at night after the sun has set. The nonsense about "through a daylit sky" seems to indicate he thinks the moon is in the atmosphere? Or he has some other ignorant misconception.

You’re confused, because you are viewing a new moon crescent above a Plane Earth. A new crescent can be observed above a hill top or mountain and that crescent being viewed from that angle, by far removes the Moon from its position of a Sphere Earth new Moon crescent 1 day alignment.

And the fact the horizon remaining eye level (feet on ground) as far as you can see, that horizon line does not allow you to see where the moon would be during a sphere Earth new crescent.

All the examples shared were not subject to the anomalies of severe atmospheric effects as depicted in the image you have. So your argument is neither here nor there. The rise to eye-level argument is old, tired and massively refuted by tons of experimentation. It is moot at this point. Try harder.

Here's yet another set of experiments done by Bobby Shafto, a famous researcher of these boards. Over many days, many locations, many altitudes, the horizon does not rise to eye level.

From one new moon to the next is about 29.5 days.  That means that the moon moves about 12.2 degrees per day.  That means that, depending on exactly when the new moon happens, the sun and moon can be 3-4 degrees or more apart at sunset on the day of the new moon

More evidence that the horizon falls below "eye-level", which cannot happen on a flat earth:

Flat Earth? Mountains rising to meet eye-level by Andrew Eddie


Andrew Eddie found that, from Flaxton Gardens (418 m above sea-level), Mount Coolum (208 m above sea-level) lines up with the horizon.
This makes it certain that the horizon is below the local horizontal at Flaxton Gardens.

Quote from: Plat Terra
A new crescent can be observed above a hill top or mountain and that crescent being viewed from that angle, by far removes the Moon from its position of a Sphere Earth new Moon crescent 1 day alignment.
What on earth are you talking about? Why would that be any different from anything that could be seen "a Sphere Earth".
Show a photo to illustrate what you mean!

Quote from: Plat Terra
And the fact the horizon remaining eye level (feet on ground) as far as you can see, that horizon line does not allow you to see where the moon would be during a sphere Earth new crescent.

But the exact time of a perfect "new crescent" could be any time at all - even mid-day!
Now you show a photo of a perfect "new crescent" moon or admit that you have no case!

And the horizon does NOT remain at eye level as far as you can see! That is so easy to demonstrate - look at the Flaxton Gardens video!

There is no plane Earth, so how can anyone be viewing anything above it?

that crescent being viewed from that angle, by far removes the Moon from its position of a Sphere Earth new Moon crescent 1 day alignment.
These are just empty words.
What angle was it observed it?
What angle should it have been observed at if the reality of a RE is reality (as it is)?

And the fact the horizon remaining eye level
Stop lying. Pretty sure you already brought that up and had it refuted.
Unless there is an object above you, the horizon is below eye level.
The angle of dip to the horizon was centuries ago to determine the radius of Earth.

When your guy there with the video has made the same experiment from the same place, different times of the day and year and has the same results, then it's worth looking at.
No, it is worth looking at now, because it exposes your lie.
The horizon is not at eye level. Many many tests have been done and repeatedly found the horizon to be below eye level.

If the Globe community would learn about real science, then they would know the horizon appears to move up and down and boats, shorelines, landmass, buildings get blocked by a walled mirage that appears to be a horizon. All because of atmospheric condidtions all kinds of wacky things appear to happen.
You mean as the observer moves up and down the distance to the horizon changes, and thus more or less is obscured?
Sure, there is a clear mirage there with quite obvious signs, but in order for you to be correct, that would need to be happening every time.

Now care to admit that you have basis for your claims that NASA fakes images?
Or explain how the moon or south celestial pole works?

How does the Globe Community explain Earth not being eclipsed during each new moon and the moon not being eclipsed at the time of the full moon ?

Do you not have the ability to google or to read here? What's wrong with you? IRL do you just say whatever comes to mind and wait for others to correct you? It's already been explained to you. Here again:

Please pay attention.

Yes I did, pay attention:

The earth's orbit around the sun and the moon's orbit around the earth are not on the  same plane. Eclipses occur when full moon or new moon happen close to the intersection of the two planes.

Nothing is "made up". You can see the Moon's inclination in the fact that its rise and set location moves North and South throughout the month. Just because you don't understand it and didn't bother to do any actual research doesn't mean everybody else is as ignorant as you.

Best time to see the new moon is a solar eclipse. New moon is when the moon is the direction of the sun, so it's hidden by sun glare.

EDIT: And you still didn't answer how is it possible that FE concave disk moon looks the same when looked from East vs West, but inverted when looking from North vs South.  Or how a disk facing down doesn't look like an ellipse when observed with 45° angle.

Very simply! All you had to do was a little research into the matter but you seem to prefer to be totally ignorant!
I'm sure you know very well that the earth orbits the earth on an elliptical orbit inclined 5.14° to the ecliptic! Tilted like this:

Post by: JackBlack on September 01, 2019, 03:20:11 PM
So you jump onto yet another topic.

Someone repeatedly jumping between topics is not someone with a strong argument or who is capable of defeating the opposition.
Instead that is someone who knows they have no case, who has no confidence in their arguments and instead tries to bury their opponent in bovine excrement in the hope it might take too long for them to climb out.

So good job showing yet another argument of yours is a complete failure and that there is absolutely no reason for the REers to be admitting defeat.

How does the Globe Community explain Earth not being eclipsed during each new moon and the moon not being eclipsed at the time of the full moon ?
The mechanics of your moon debunks your theory, right?
No, it doesn't.
During most new moons and full moons, the moon is not entirely new or entirely full.
The moon's orbit is inclined to the ecliptic such that only twice a year is there an alignment to cause eclipses, where the moon literally goes between the Earth and the sun or the sun goes between Earth and the moon.

Earth's radius is roughly 6371 km and it is roughly 150 000 000 km away from the sun.
The moon's radius is roughly 1737 km and it is roughly 385 000 km away from Earth.
The sun's radius is roughly 700 000 km.
So here is a diagram just for you Note: IT IS NOT TOO SCALE!:
(https://i.imgur.com/Kad58cj.png)
In order to avoid eclipses the moon needs to be outside of these orange regions as drawn.
This means the moon needs to be ~1 degree out of alignment to avoid a lunar eclipse and ~1.6 degrees to avoid a solar eclipse.
Meanwhile in reality the Moon's orbit is inclined relative to the ecliptic by 5.145 degrees.

For the majority of the year the moon is not in the required alignment to produce an eclipse. This alignment only occurs twice every year, which corresponds to the same regions of the year when eclipses are observed.
So this works quite well with a RE.

Now I would ask how a FE explains it, but as a FE can't even explain eclipses to begin with, I figure that would be a rather pointless question.

So they made up an incline orbit to solve this problem.  Hmm
No, they have an inclined orbit in the model to have it match reality, i.e. the observed sub-lunar points on Earth and have the angles to the moon from other locations match.

It was not made to solve eclipses.

But that does not mean Earth is a sphere.
No one said it did.
You falsely claimed it causes a problem for a RE. It does no such thing.

However, a RE is the only kwown model which can accurately explain the apparent position of the moon and what we observe of it. This a problem you ran away from before.

This does not cause any problems.

Common sense used without indoctrination is all that’s needed to debunk a sphere earth.
Well you seem to severely lack common sense due to so much nonsense you have posted which goes directly against common sense.
What you need to debunk a round Earth is to radically change reality, as so far all the evidence indicates Earth is round, and you are yet to demonstrate any problem with a RE. Instead you just make baseless claims, get them refuted or exposed as entirely baseless, and then run.

This is yet another example of that.
Why do you have a bright sun, surrounded by darkness?
Why did you decide to have that much illuminated?
For the 5.145 degrees out of alignment, the most extreme case, from a front on view, for the region aligned with the sun where you get the maximum overlap, it amounts to all of 0.8% being illuminated.
In your yet another dishonest picture you have the sun being 32 pixels wide.
The moon is roughly the same size as the sun, not much larger as you have drawn it. Do you know how large a region should be lit up for the moon (at least for those sections directly in line with the sun)? 0.256 pixels. Much less than the 3 pixels you have drawn.
This will also be right near the very bright sun, making it quite difficult to see.

This will also be quite different to when the moon is 1 day out of alignment which equates to roughly 13 degrees out of alignment, and that is again different to the image you have provided where it is much more out of alignment.

So once again, no problem for a RE, and just avoidance of all the problems for a FE.

Oh, you need a hell of a lot more than that.
You mean now that you have been shown to be wrong yet again you will move the goalposts yet again.

then you have to explain why the sliver is on the right side of the moon the next night.
As we have already demonstrated with the prior arguments focusing on the moon which you felt the need to avoid, the region which is illuminated will vary depending upon where the moon is viewed.
It will be the side closest to the sun which is illuminated.
As an example, if you follow a hypothetically illuminated object it can appear to rise with the top illuminated.
You then follow it over the course of the time it is visible and see it with the right hand side illuminated. Then you continue to follow it and observe the bottom illuminated.

This apparent rotation is just because you are viewing from a different angle.
So no additional explanation is required.
It is once again you grasping at strawmen to try and save your failed FE by shovelling BS onto the working RE.

You just can't win. It's not possible. There is to many things wrong. Accept it and join the FE community!

Why would we join your side when you need to resort to such tactics?

While you continually avoid the massive problems with a FE, and only come up with lies to try and attack the RE I see absolutely no reason to defect.
I will stick with the side which can actually explain reality.

If you want me to accept defeat come up with an actual problem with a RE, and address the massive shortcomings of a FE.
Explain why/how the sun sets. Explain why/how there are 2 celestial poles always located 180 degrees apart. Explain the apparent the apparent position of celestial objects. Explain why/how everyone on Earth sees basically the same moon, yet in different positions. Explain eclipses. Explain what the motive is for lying about the shape of Earth when it provides no gain at all to the government or those promoting a RE.

So you jump onto yet another topic.

Someone repeatedly jumping between topics is not someone with a strong argument or who is capable of defeating the opposition.
Instead that is someone who knows they have no case, who has no confidence in their arguments and instead tries to bury their opponent in bovine excrement in the hope it might take too long for them to climb out.

So good job showing yet another argument of yours is a complete failure and that there is absolutely no reason for the REers to be admitting defeat.

How does the Globe Community explain Earth not being eclipsed during each new moon and the moon not being eclipsed at the time of the full moon ?
The mechanics of your moon debunks your theory, right?
No, it doesn't.
During most new moons and full moons, the moon is not entirely new or entirely full.
The moon's orbit is inclined to the ecliptic such that only twice a year is there an alignment to cause eclipses, where the moon literally goes between the Earth and the sun or the sun goes between Earth and the moon.

Earth's radius is roughly 6371 km and it is roughly 150 000 000 km away from the sun.
The moon's radius is roughly 1737 km and it is roughly 385 000 km away from Earth.
The sun's radius is roughly 700 000 km.
So here is a diagram just for you Note: IT IS NOT TOO SCALE!:
(https://i.imgur.com/Kad58cj.png)
In order to avoid eclipses the moon needs to be outside of these orange regions as drawn.
This means the moon needs to be ~1 degree out of alignment to avoid a lunar eclipse and ~1.6 degrees to avoid a solar eclipse.
Meanwhile in reality the Moon's orbit is inclined relative to the ecliptic by 5.145 degrees.

For the majority of the year the moon is not in the required alignment to produce an eclipse. This alignment only occurs twice every year, which corresponds to the same regions of the year when eclipses are observed.
So this works quite well with a RE.

Now I would ask how a FE explains it, but as a FE can't even explain eclipses to begin with, I figure that would be a rather pointless question.

So they made up an incline orbit to solve this problem.  Hmm
No, they have an inclined orbit in the model to have it match reality, i.e. the observed sub-lunar points on Earth and have the angles to the moon from other locations match.

It was not made to solve eclipses.

But that does not mean Earth is a sphere.
No one said it did.
You falsely claimed it causes a problem for a RE. It does no such thing.

However, a RE is the only kwown model which can accurately explain the apparent position of the moon and what we observe of it. This a problem you ran away from before.

This does not cause any problems.

Common sense used without indoctrination is all that’s needed to debunk a sphere earth.
Well you seem to severely lack common sense due to so much nonsense you have posted which goes directly against common sense.
What you need to debunk a round Earth is to radically change reality, as so far all the evidence indicates Earth is round, and you are yet to demonstrate any problem with a RE. Instead you just make baseless claims, get them refuted or exposed as entirely baseless, and then run.

This is yet another example of that.
Why do you have a bright sun, surrounded by darkness?
Why did you decide to have that much illuminated?
For the 5.145 degrees out of alignment, the most extreme case, from a front on view, for the region aligned with the sun where you get the maximum overlap, it amounts to all of 0.8% being illuminated.
In your yet another dishonest picture you have the sun being 32 pixels wide.
The moon is roughly the same size as the sun, not much larger as you have drawn it. Do you know how large a region should be lit up for the moon (at least for those sections directly in line with the sun)? 0.256 pixels. Much less than the 3 pixels you have drawn.
This will also be right near the very bright sun, making it quite difficult to see.

This will also be quite different to when the moon is 1 day out of alignment which equates to roughly 13 degrees out of alignment, and that is again different to the image you have provided where it is much more out of alignment.

So once again, no problem for a RE, and just avoidance of all the problems for a FE.

Oh, you need a hell of a lot more than that.
You mean now that you have been shown to be wrong yet again you will move the goalposts yet again.

then you have to explain why the sliver is on the right side of the moon the next night.
As we have already demonstrated with the prior arguments focusing on the moon which you felt the need to avoid, the region which is illuminated will vary depending upon where the moon is viewed.
It will be the side closest to the sun which is illuminated.
As an example, if you follow a hypothetically illuminated object it can appear to rise with the top illuminated.
You then follow it over the course of the time it is visible and see it with the right hand side illuminated. Then you continue to follow it and observe the bottom illuminated.

This apparent rotation is just because you are viewing from a different angle.
So no additional explanation is required.
It is once again you grasping at strawmen to try and save your failed FE by shovelling BS onto the working RE.

You just can't win. It's not possible. There is to many things wrong. Accept it and join the FE community!
You mean there is far too much BS you can come up with and throw at us without finding any actual problem?

Oh, you need a hell of a lot more than that. You also need to prove the incline for that month and then you have to explain why the sliver is on the right side of the moon the next night. The moon would have to raise in height for the sliver to transfer to the rightside within 24 hours. See, this is another major problem for your guys. You just can't win. It's not possible. There is to many things wrong. Accept it and join the FE community!

Maybe you could answer some questions as well:

How is it possible that FE concave disk moon looks the same when looked from East vs West, but inverted when looking from North vs South.  Or how a disk facing down doesn't look like an ellipse when observed with 45° angle.

   I don’t have an answer for you at this time. The camera is just a few feet from the concave plate. Its not thousands of miles away and there’s not multiple layers atmosphere with different types of gas that can make light bend multiple times. Science is involved with such a dome system.

I do know that no answer I give is going to make land and water rise up and curve so you can see if it measures to a sphere with a 3959 mile radius. Actually proving curvature should be your main concern.

the orbit is inclinced but the Moon is still to the side of the Sun. The lit side always points to the Sun. it MAY appear on the top or bottom depending on when and where the observer is viewing it and what direction they are facing. That effect is called field rotation and yet another sign we live on a round Earth but it does happen. It is why when you observe the Moon for multiple hours it can appear to rotate. It doesn't actually rotate, the observer does. At all times the North pole of the Moon still points to the North. Yet another FAIL from Plat Terra.

As far as a list of conditions, I wouldn't say a lot, just 4-5 pretty core things.
And whoever ever said anyone knows it all? But that's not to say we know nothing. We know a lot of things and don't know a lot of things. But some pretty basic things we know, or, at a minimum, have an overwhelming amount of evidence to draw some really accurate conclusions that are tested out into reality. Tested out in the sense that they guide how things are engineered, built, managed and run around the globe.

The only real FE argument against GE is, "You're doing it all wrong...you should be doing all that you do using a flat earth model..." So really, until such time FE can show all that we do that is Globe based can be done better, or even done at all, using a flat earth model, the GE model reigns supreme.

Rather than accept defeat you just appeal to ignorance and pretend there is no problem.

Yet without showing any problem with a RE and instead just appealing to your own ignorance you expect REers to accept defeat.

NO, its not to the side. It's above or below. And it's not going to travel up in 24 hours so that it can be to the side for a right sided sliver. That's not a part of your moons mechanics.

I already explained it. Why do you always ignore it when you are given the answer?
The side towards the sun will be illuminated, always.
Some times that will appear as the top. Other times it will appear as the side. Other times it will appear as the bottom.
And that will change over the course of a day as it appears in different locations in the sky.

You are yet to show any problem.

Because Earth is a Plane.

You let me know when you or anyone else has verified the curvature bulge at center over Florida. Fake pictures and words of people using geo-instruments won't do it.
Then why are you completely incapable of defending it or pointing out any problem with the RE?
Why do you instead just repeatedly appeal to your ignorance?
The curvature of Earth has been verified countless times. You choosing to remain wilfully ignorant of that will not change that fact.

All you have to attack the RE is your ignorance. You choosing to ignore that curvature has been verified. You choosing to ignore how celestial mechanics work. You are yet to provide any actual problem.
Meanwhile, you have been presented with actual problems with a FE, which you have no answer for. Yet you cling to a FE and expect people to reject RE?
Why would any sane person do that?

All the evidence points to a RE.

So on the one hand, you want to hear from people who have done it then on the other, don't want to accept anything from people who have done it. What's that all about?

Technically, you can't modify 'infinite' with 'massive'. 'Infinite' is considered an absolute. Infinite is neither massive nor tiny, it is endless, therefore no scale can be applied to it in its entirety because it has no entirety.

As for a sphere with a 3959 mile radius and a 25,000 mile circumference, on a human scale, now that is massive.

A sphere earth with a 3959 mile radius is not very big. Hell, there would be a curvature drop of 6' just 3 miles out all around you. And you wonder why it floods.  Massive is an infinite Plane.

Technically, you can't modify 'infinite' with 'massive'. 'Infinite' is considered an absolute. Infinite is neither massive nor tiny, it is endless, therefore no scale can be applied to it in its entirety because it has no entirety.

As for a sphere with a 3959 mile radius and a 25,000 mile circumference, on a human scale, now that is massive.

Can we stop using primitive and outdated imperial measurements? It's 6,357km radius and 40,075km circumference.

   I don’t have an answer for you at this time. The camera is just a few feet from the concave plate. Its not thousands of miles away and there’s not multiple layers atmosphere with different types of gas that can make light bend multiple times. Science is involved with such a dome system.

I do know that no answer I give is going to make land and water rise up and curve so you can see if it measures to a sphere with a 3959 mile radius. Actually proving curvature should be your main concern.

Light bends towards the normal when going into a medium with higher refractive index.  Earth's atmosphere would make your  disk moon look even more ellipsoid. That makes me wonder what kind of atmosphere would be needed for FE.

Against all available evidence you have decided that the earth is flat.

Since a spheric moon doesnt work well with your FE you also decide that the moon is a concave disk facing down. Again without evidence.

But that doesn't work either so you appeal to some sort of magic bendy light  which would make the moon look like a sphere to everyone while being a disk facing down. Again without evidence or proof.

But bendy light still doesnt solve your problem. It doesnt explain why we see an inverted moon looking from north vs south, but not west vs east. You didnt even attempt to explain moon phases yet.

FE atmosphere must be some sort of magical arrangement made to fix all FE problems. First the atmospheric bank, then atmospheric lensing , weather effects that make mountains cast a shadow under clouds and now bendy light caused by atmospheric gases.

We do
Sure doesn't seem like it.
Again, there are plenty of problems for a FE which have been raised and all you have been able to do is appeal to ignorance to say there might not be a problem without providing a solution.
Meanwhile you are yet to provide a single actual problem with the RE.
So it sure seems like the RE model is vastly superior to FE.

Sure you could see it on your sphere earth right after the sun went down.
Not easily.
Right after the sun sets you have a region of time known as twilight where the sun is still illuminating the atmosphere above you.
It would still be quite difficult to record. And as I have already pointed out, it is only a tiny sliver that would be visible.

You have provided absolutely no justification for why there should be pictures of it all over the place.

So no, still not time to join the FE fantasy club. We will stick to the RE club which can actually explain reality.

Like I said, when you can actually show a problem with the RE, and provide FE solutions and explanations, then it would be. Until then, I will stick with reality.

We use Celsius here and:
Quote
The Celsius scale, also known as the centigrade scale, is a temperature scale used by the International System of Units (SI). As an SI derived unit, it is used worldwide.
And here this morning the minimum was 10.2°C, maximum 29.3°C and now it is 19.7°C. So your 14.85°C sounds OK, but cooler than I like.

Quote from: Didymus

I don't know because I live close to 0.48 rad S.

While radians is certainly the preferred unit for angle in physics the degree, minute and seconds is allowed for latitude/longitude or astronomy.
Quote
degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of a plane angle, defined so that a full rotation is 360 degrees. It is not an SI unit, as the SI unit of angular measure is the radian, but it is mentioned in the SI brochure as an accepted unit.
So I'll stick to saying that I live near 27.5° S, 153.0° E.

I guess we're stuck that with that archaic unit and we can put the blame on the early proliferation of American and British aircraft in the early days.

But and there's always a "but" ;D:
Quote
Measuring Altitude: Feet vs. Meters
Here’s where things get tricky. Because of the proliferation of American and British aircraft during the early years of aviation, the imperial foot became standard for altitude measurement. China (PRC), North Korea, and Russia, however, use meters for altitude measurement.
[Update: Russian high altitude airspace changed to Flight Levels calibrated in feet. In 2017, all Russian airspace from the surface up, began transitioning to feet.]

We do and if we just use a concave disk filled with water, rocks and sand in the middle laying on the ground, it would be 100% better than your Globe Model that can’t hold water. We would get a grade of A and you a F for failing to do so after 500 years.  You need it to hold water to compete. That's important for life. This isn't a game for toys.

What drugs are you on, and where can I get some? The sheer mass of the earth causes everything to stick to it's surface by a force called GRAVITY. You can't recreate that effect, with a tennis ball, and a glass of water, numb nuts.

You get an A++ for STUPID.

A sphere earth with a 3959 mile radius is not very big. Hell, there would be a curvature drop of 6' just 3 miles out all around you. And you wonder why it floods.  Massive is an infinite Plane.
A drop due to curvature is not the same as an elevation change.

You, like all flat earthers, have no sense of scale of perspective!

But the curvature in 3 miles would be more realistically described as the centre being only 1' 6" above a straight line joining the ends.
And that is less than 1 part in 10,000 - that's pretty flat!

And your silly comment about flooding is totally meaningless!
Whether the earth is flat or has a slight curve if water rises above the level of the land due extremely high tides or excessive rain the land floods!

But whatever you say, the earth is what it is and it has been shown for millennia that it cannot be flat!

If you disagree please present a flat earth map that explains all observations both on earth and in the movement of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars.

Over to you!

Put up your model or give up. To date, no flat earther has ever presented a flat earth model that meets these requirements - so prove me wrong, IF you can!

The Big Bang Has Big Problems

Keating: page 304: “Then it was Sungenis’s turn. Flora was not impressed  by  what  she  heard.  ‘He  argued  that  the  mass  of  the  universe isn’t accounted for by heliocentrism’ and ‘that scientists have  added  dark  matter  ad  hoc  to  make  equations  work.  He  argued  that  if  the  Big  Bang  is  true,  the  universe  must  be  homogeneous and yet did not explain why that should be true. If anything, Newtonian physics—the law of universal gravitation—says that things would form in clumps as larger masses attracted smaller masses into them.’ This was an astute observation. If one posits  that  at  the  beginning  of  the  Big  Bang...matter  or  proto-matter  was  spewed  out  in  all  directions,  it  is  hard  to  conceive  how that material could have radiated exactly equally toward all distant  point.  If  there  were  the  slightest  disturbance  from  equal distribution and speed, matter indeed would have begun to ‘form into  clumps.’  When  those  clumps  became  large  enough,  they  would  have  formed  stars  and  various  bodies  that  orbit  stars.  Perfect  homogeneity  is  precisely  what  one  would  not  expect  to  find.  This  means  that  the  lack  of  homogeneity,  which  can  be  seen  even  with  the  naked  eye,  is  no  argument  against  the  Big  Bang.”

R. Sungenis: This is what happens when people who don’t study the issue begin  to  think  they  are  experts  on  how  to  explain  it  when  presented  with  challenges. Neither Keating nor Flora understand what the problem is. The  Big  Bang,  in  opposition  to  Steady  State  cosmology,  believes  in  a  beginning  to  our  universe  –  an  explosion  of  some  undefined  infinitesimal  entity that occurred 13.7 billion years ago. This entity is said to have been spawned from a previous universe, and that universe from an even earlier universe (which, as will see in chapter 3, is the same mysticism inherent in ancient  Indian  cosmology  that  believed  the  world  rested  on  the  backs  of  successive turtles).  As  if  getting  something  from  nothing  is  not  enough  of  a  problem,  the  second  thorn  in  the  side  for  the  Big  Bang  appears  when  the  rate  of  the  explosion  must  be  determined.  If  it’s  too  slow,  the  universe  will  go  into  what is called the “Big Crunch,” that is, gravity will pull all the exploding parts back together before it can evolve into the organized biophilic system we see today. If it’s too fast, the universe will be diffuse and likewise will not   be   able   to   produce   galactic   structure   and   biological   life.   Like   Goldilocks  and  her  porridge,  the  expansion  must  be  just  right  otherwise  life  couldn’t  exist  (at  least  under  modern  science’s  illusory  belief  in  evolution  as  the  mechanical  process  that  produces  life).  Too  boot,  the  amount  of  matter  in  the  explosion  must  also  be  just  right.  Too  much  and  the universe will not expand. Too little and no complex structures will be formed.  As  one  scientist  put  it,  it’s  like  trying  to  balance  a  pencil  on  its  point. As  one  can  see,  modern  cosmology  is  in  a  real  pickle.  But  it  didn’t  start  here.  When  Newton  discovered  gravity,  one  of  his  first  problems  was  having to deal with Copernicus’ limited universe. Newton realized that the very  gravity  he  discovered  would  eventually  pull  the  stars  into  one  massive ball. In order to compensate for this problem, Newton opted for an infinite  universe.  As  time  went  by,  science  realized  there  were  too  many  problems  with  an  infinite  universe,  so  Einstein  tried  to  compensate  for  gravity   by   introducing   an   opposing   force,   which   he   called   the   “cosmological constant.” As Misner, et al, describe it:

In  1915,  when  Einstein  developed  his  general  relativity  theory,  the  permanence  of  the  universe  was  a  fixed  item  of  belief  in  Western  philosophy.  “The  heavens  endure  from  everlasting  to  everlasting.”  Thus,  it  disturbed  Einstein  greatly  to  discover  that  his  geometrodynamic  law  G  =  8πT  predicts  a  non-permanent universe;  a  dynamic  universe;  a  universe  that  originated  in  a  “big-bang”   explosion,   or   will   be   destroyed   eventually   by   contraction   to   infinite   density,   or   both.   Faced   with   this   contradiction  between  his  theory  and  the  firm  philosophical  belief of the day, Einstein weakened; he modified his theory.

His new theory would reverse the effects of gravity and keep the universe from falling in on itself. The universe would remain static, not expanding or  contracting.  It  would  also  follow  Mach’s  principle,  wherein  space  was  defined  by  the  matter  within  it.  But  Wilhelm  de  Sitter  didn’t  follow  Mach’s rules and created a variation for Einstein’s cosmological constant. De  Sitter  ignored  all  the  matter  of  the  universe  and  only  concentrated  on  its  quantum  energy,  an  energy  that  would  be  enough  to  propel  the  expansion of the universe. So the choice was between Einstein’s static but matter-filled   universe   and   de   Sitter’s   expanding   but   matter-deficient   universe. 

Next,   Alexander   Friedmann   then   fiddled   with   Einstein’s   math   and   eliminated the cosmological constant and produced an expanding universe still under the constraints of General Relativity. But this required that he make  the  equations  produce  a  universe  whose  matter  was  spread  out  evenly  and  was  the  same  everywhere  (i.e.,  isotropic  and  homogeneous),  otherwise  known  as  the  “cosmological  principle.”  This  made  Arthur Eddington   backtrack   to   point   out   that,   even   with   the   cosmological   constant, an Einstein-type universe was not really static or balanced. Since gravity  and  Einstein’s  cosmological  constant  (Λ)  had  to  be  balanced  so  perfectly   (e.g.,   like   balancing   a   pencil   on   its   point),   even   minute   fluctuations   would   produce   a   runaway   expansion   or   an   unstoppable   contraction.  The  best  Friedmann  could  do  was  propose  a  universe  with  enough matter (what he called “the critical density”) that would allow the universe to expand for eternity but at an ever decreasing rate, even though this solution itself was counterintuitive. As NASA puts it:

Einstein    first    proposed    the    cosmological    constant...as    a    mathematical   fix   to   the   theory   of   general   relativity.   In   its   simplest form, general relativity predicted that the universe must either  expand  or  contract.  Einstein  thought  the  universe  was  static,  so  he  added  this  new  term  [(Λ)  lambda]  to  stop  the  expansion.  Friedmann,  a  Russian  mathematician,  realized  that  this was an unstable fix, like balancing a pencil on its point, and proposed an expanding universe model, now called the Big Bang theory.

In  retrospect,  when  Hubble  relieved  some  of  the  problem  by  interpreting  the redshift of galaxies as a sign that the universe was expanding, still, in order  to  have  the  matter  move  yet  remain  homogeneous  (as  required  by  Friedmann’s  equation),  the  value  of  its  rate  of  expansion  (H);  as  well  as  the  value  of  its  density  (Ω);  and  the  energy  to  propel  the  expansion  (Λ), had to fulfill the Goldilocks rule – it had to be just right or there would be no  universe.  Various  scientists  have  spent  their  entire  careers  trying  to  figure out the perfect combination to these three numbers, but to no avail. Again,  it  is  like  trying  to  balance  a  pencil  on  its  point.  This  is  what  happens  when  the  universe  is  made  to  start  from  a  big  bang  instead  of  creative fiat – the math never produces what we actually see. Postulating a big  bang  is  easy.  Making  it  work  with  all  the  other  laws  of  science  is  impossible.


The proponents of this convenient manipulation of data seem oblivious to their ploys. But George Ellis is not ashamed to admit that the whole thing is based on wishing or presuming that the Copernican Principle is true:

Additionally,   we   must   take   seriously   the   idea   that   the   acceleration apparently indicated by supernova data could be due to large scale inhomogeneity with no dark energy. Observational tests of the latter possibility are as important as pursuing the dark energy   (exotic   physics)   option   in   a   homogeneous   universe.   Theoretical  prejudices  as  to  the  universe’s  geometry,  and  our  place  in  it,  must  bow  to  such  observational  tests.  Precisely  because  of  the  foundational  nature  of  the  Copernican  Principle  for standard cosmology, we need to fully check this foundation. And  one  must  emphasize  here  that  standard  CMB  anisotropy  studies do not prove the Copernican principle: they assume it at the  start....The  further  issue  that  arises  is  that  while  some  form  of averaging process is in principle what one should do to arrive at  the  large  scale  geometry  of  the  universe  on  the  basis  of  observations,  in  practice  what  is  normally  done  is  the  inverse.  One  assumes  a  priori  a  FLRW model as  a  background  model,  and then uses some form of observationally-based fitting process to determine its basic parameters.

As  the  famous  20th-century  historian  Arthur C. Clarke once said: 

“The  lesson  to  be  learned  from  these  examples  is  one  that  can  never be repeated too often, and is one that is seldom understood by   laymen   –   who   have   an   almost   superstitious   awe   of   mathematics.   But   mathematics   is   only   a   tool,   though   an   immensely powerful one. No equations, however impressive and complex,  can  arrive  at  the  truth  if  the  initial  assumptions  are  incorrect.  It  is  really  quite  amazing  by  what  margins  competent  but  conservative  scientists  and  engineers  can  miss  the  mark,  when  they  start  with  the  preconceived  idea  that  what  they  are  investigating  is  impossible.  When  this  happens,  the  most  well-informed men become blinded by their prejudices and are unable to  see  what  lies  directly  ahead  of  them.  What  is  even  more  incredible,   they   refuse   to   learn   from   experience;   they   will   continue to make the same mistake over and over again. Some of my best friends are astronomers, and I am sorry to keep throwing stones at them – but they do seem to have an appalling record as prophets.”

And he also has a point. Scientists have come up with all sorts of theories before they have all the data. How can you arrive at the truth? Your a biasing yourself from the start. You will only find the data that matches what you wish to believe is true. If a scientist came across data that was at odds or contradicted the 'big bang' origin, it would likely be dismissed or not taken seriously.

The shape of Earth is not dependent upon the Big Bang. Especially not based upon outright lies and baseless assertions about it.

Sure, that's why Big Bang is a theory. There are many theories regarding the origin of Universe. Seemingly kind of hard to pin down considering we're talking about the origin of the bloody Universe. Some have data that fit, perhaps some don't. It's not like we base the workings of our current reality on the theory, unlike how we do base a lot of the workings of reality based upon a globe earth; navigation, commerce, transport, etc.

Personally, I don't care about the origin of the Universe theories. We'll never know for sure anyway.

The Big Bang Has Big Problems
That has not the slightest connection with the shape of the earth or even the Heliocentric Solar System vs. Geocentric Universe questions.

The "Big Bang" is only a hypothesis of what might have happened 13.8 billion years ago and no connecting to the earth and solar system we observe here and now!

None of the writings of Robert Sungenis will help you in the slightest. He is very opposed to the idea of a flat earth! Read this:
Quote from: Wikipedia
Robert A. Sungenis (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Sungenis) (born ca. 1955) is an American Traditionalist Catholic (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditionalist_Catholic) known for his Catholic apologetics and his advocacy of a pseudoscientific belief that the Earth is the center of the universe (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocentric_model#Religious_and_contemporary_adherence_to_geocentrism).

And Robert Sungenis is vehemently opposed to the flat earth, writing documents like this: The Flat Earth Frenzy: Unscientific and Unbiblical (http://www.robertsungenis.com/gww/features/Flat%20Earth%20Geography.pdf)

Robert Sungenis was also the "creator, executive producer and actor in The Principle movie, and now author of the new book, Flat Earth/Flat Wrong".
Maybe you could buy a copy and read what, your hero ;),  Robert Sungenis has to say about this "Flat Earth | Flat Wrong" idea of yours!
Quote
Flat Earth | Flat Wrong: (http://flatearthflatwrong.com/product/flat-earth-flat-wrong/)
An Historical, Biblical and Scientific Analysis is the latest of Robert Sungenis’ intriguing works. Sparked by the recent and ongoing controversy in social media on whether the Earth is flat and covered by a dome, or is a spherical body surrounded by the vastness of space, Robert was commissioned by the Kolbe Center to write this book and show why, historically, biblically and scientifically, the globe Earth is the true reality. It is by far the most detailed and comprehensive exposé on the flat Earth theory ever written from the critical side of the debate.

The "the famous 20th-century historian Arthur C. Clarke" is also the writer of the story-line of "2001, A Space Odessy" and probably the originator of the idea of communication satellites.

And you quote Arthur C. Clarke's writing in support of the flat earth ("Flat Earth/Flat Wrong" according to Robert Sungenis)? What a joke!

And despite everyone saying how smart he was, not a single 'idea' of his was patented. I guess he didn't mind not getting the billions of dollars he could have got had his ideas ever been workable.

But that does not change my statement he was much more than a scifi writer, i dont really care if you like his fiction or not. He was not a historian, and im pretty sure he wasn't a flat earther.

He did ok, nice pad in Sri Lanka waited on hand and foot.

He didn't invent the concept, he popularised it, what he did do was work out the orbital mechanics, has anyone patented any other region of space and derived a profit from it?

Next time you are on a plane or even in a car travelling at a constant speed, throw a ball straight up in the air and record where it lands. When you get off plane/out of car repeat the throw and record where it lands and see if you can draw any conclusions.

At this point we are just talking about flying with the curvature of the Earth at 560 MPH. Do you understand this? Forget about any of earth’s alleged rotation.

Flying in a radius of a circle in any position can be felt and would be changing directions constantly.  That’s no different than making a continues right turn. The change could be felt while flying and you can’t prove otherwise.

If your flying over a Globe Earth, you're making a 360° turn over the Earth at 560 MPH. You would be able to feel that, you nor anyone else can prove otherwise. But if you're flying level it would be as you expressed because Earth is a Plane.

If I'm flying over earth at 560 MPH I know that my pilot is doing so using the engineering, tools, and methods predicated on the earth being a globe. When FE designs, builds, navigates, and pilots commercial jets using FE physics, maps, and distances I'll accept defeat.

If your making a 360° turn over the Earth at 560 MPH and with the Earth at more than 1,000 MPH, you damn sure would feel it.

Google centrifugal force

Next time you are on a plane or even in a car travelling at a constant speed, throw a ball straight up in the air and record where it lands. When you get off plane/out of car repeat the throw and record where it lands and see if you can draw any conclusions.

You cannot feel velocity only a change in rate of velocity.

Feel free to demonstrate the mechanism where you feel velocity when flying at 560mph.

The centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the earth is smaller than the gravitational force exerted on an individual, by orders of magnitude.

At this point we are just talking about flying with the curvature of the Earth at 560 MPH. Do you understand this? Forget about any of earth’s alleged rotation.

Flying in a radius of a circle in any position can be felt and would be changing directions constantly.  That’s no different than making a continues right turn. The change could be felt while flying and you can’t prove otherwise.

The rotation of the earth is quantifiable and measured by a number of methods, its not alleged, you might need to update your signature.

Now you have posted a statement comparing the rotation of the earth to the rotation of a roundabout. If you back up your statement and work through the math you would answer your own question.

I am currently a round earther, but I have an enquiring mind, I am happy to be persuaded through debate, ideas and experimentation. Making unsubstantiated statements is not debate, and I am not going to admit defeat, the purpose of your thread, on a series of claims and memes.

Start small, 7kph rotation, pick an arbitrary size for the roundabout/merry go round and lets say a 40kg child. What is the force exerted on the child?

Cool! We can add basic aerodynamics to the things Platypus doesn't understand.

Aircraft measure altitude typically using air pressure. Large aircraft normally cruise on an autopilot altitude hold which uses the pressure altitude as reference. Small aircraft, flown without autopilot require constant control input on all axis'. The input required to "follow the curve" would be so slight, that it goes unnoticed among other control adjustments.

So, yes... There is a "constant dipping", but it goes unnoticed.

What speed would the airplane have to fly at for the constant dipping to be felt. Clearly 1000km/h is not sufficient. The Concordes from back in the day cruising speeds were a tad over 2000km/h. Clearly no one felt any dipping there so at what speed would you have to start holding on to your hat?

I’ve done real experimentation on a non-stop flight to South Africa from the USA. There was never a drop in elevation until landing. It was a level flight all the way.

So, you have done "real experimentation on a non-stop flight to South Africa from the USA"? How did YOU measure the altitude?
Would I be correct to assume that YOU did not measure the altitude at all?

But please explain why there should be any "drop in elevation"?
The altitude of aircraft is simply the height above mean-sea-level. What is so hard to understand about that?

Pilots fly at an assigned flight level measured by the altimeter which is based on the outside air pressure.
This air pressure is largely determined by the height above sea-level.

Hence your "experiment" proved nothing.

I'd be happy to be "persuaded through debate" but you've posted nothing that could persuade anybody!

Please learn a bit about the Globe and then get a flat earth model that fits all observations better than the Globe does.

Deflect deflect deflect

I spent first 10 years of my career physically measuring the curvature of the earth at least 8-10 times per year. I work in an industry that uses geodetic data daily. I can confidently say I have done it myself. I haven't come across any bulges to date.

If you did do it and verified your results please share the world awaits.

With regards to your experiment, or taking a flight. Do you recall taking off and being pushed back into your seat, similarly did you feel the opposite sensation when you landed, that last big deceleration.  What was that all about.

My agenda is simple, I stumbled into flat earth via conspiracy theory. Things like your signature and regular statements from flat earthers regarding engineers never taking earth curvature into account piqued my interest. Not sure who I sound like, but that does sound a tad paranoid.

I love debate it stimulates ideas, but positions require proofs.

Which brings us back to the main point, you made a statement regarding merry go rounds and comparing it to the rotation of the globe. I asked you to run the numbers, please do.

making unsubstantiated claims, particularly ones which are so easily calculated, just leads to closed loops. Continually deflecting, jumping from topic to topic and avoiding providing any evidence diminishes your arguments.

And yet another massive topic jump due to your failure with the previous topic.

Again, with all this running away being done by you, why should any FEer accept defeat?

If your making a 360° turn over the Earth at 560 MPH and with the Earth at more than 1,000 MPH, you damn sure would feel it.
And another baseless assertion from you.
Making a 360° turn over a day is not going to be significant.
If you bother doing the math, you find the acceleration you would feel at the equator amounts to roughly 0.3% of gravity. Ignoring that and just focusing on the rotation of the much slower plane will be even less.
It is quite small. Easily detectable by instruments, which have measured the variation in gravity around the globe, but not detectable by humans without instruments.

So yet another failure from the FEers.

If you wish to claim such garbage as it would be felt, feel free to prove it, and no, spinning a tiny object at a very high angular velocity does not prove it, the acceleration is dependent upon a combination of at least 2 of angular velocity, tangential velocity and radius.

Of course I know who Arthur C Clarke is. He is behind some of the most famous sci fi novels and that snooze fest of a movie 2001 Space Odessy. He was also someone who was supposedly happy spending the majority of his years in an impoverished shit hole ravaged by a decades long civil war. Does that last part make sense to you? NO. Given his celebrity status he could have chosen to live anywhere. He didn't need to live in a 3rd world mess of a country to afford to be waited on hand/feet by teenage sexual slaves.

He lived in a pretty nice house, in a walled compound in a beautiful country, which in terms of poverty index performs well amongst asian countries, including the country with the 5th largest economy in the world. Did you read my links?

There was a civil war but it was geographically limited, and included long periods of inactivity.

You dont like Sri Lanka,  your opinion, still doesn't deflect from the fact you misplaced your sarcasm by failing to know who Arrthur C Ckarke was.


Of course I know who Arthur C Clarke is. He is behind some of the most famous sci fi novels and that snooze fest of a movie 2001 Space Odessy. He was also someone who was supposedly happy spending the majority of his years in an impoverished shit hole ravaged by a decades long civil war. Does that last part make sense to you? NO. Given his celebrity status he could have chosen to live anywhere. He didn't need to live in a 3rd world mess of a country to afford to be waited on hand/feet by teenage sexual slaves.

Yet in your post you were suggesting he was only a sci fi writer

He lived in a pretty nice house, in a walled compound in a beautiful country, which in terms of poverty index performs well amongst asian countries, including the country with the 5th largest economy in the world. Did you read my links?

There was a civil war but it was geographically limited, and included long periods of inactivity.

He was accused and cleared of sexual impropriety with minors, no charges.

Either Arthur was put in Sri Lanka as a means to keep him quiet or he was a dirty old pedophile. Or maybe even both. It is what cashed up old men like to do when they move to an Asian country. The biggest people sex trafficking occur in these poorer countries. Quite despicable of him I gotta say.

Just because he was cleared of charges does not mean he was innocent. Look at the wealth he would have commanded compared to the average Sri Lankan. Celebrities often get away with this behaviour because of their money or celebrity status. Some impoverished kid no one has heard about has no chance. Also, given how much money he had, as long as he paid these children well some of them may not have minded servicing him given the lack of opportunities and money in that country

If Sri Lanka is so fantastic why do people risk their lives trying to flee it? Currently Australia has intercepted many boats filled with Sri Lanka people risking their lives trying to get here even though the war is over. It clearly is not that nice of a place.

If you're flying from east-to-west on a hypothetical flat Earth as opposed to a nearly spherical Earth, you are only replacing one curved trajectory for another. Some say that if the Earth were round, you would feel the aircraft curve downward. But if that were true and the Earth were flat instead, wouldn't you feel the plane curve northward?

we are only discussing Arthur C Clarke as an FE claimed him as a historian and took a quote out of context to support FE, and you made a comment that he was just a sci fi writer.

Strange that FE quote a science writer who wrote the first calculations for a geostationary orbit.

The rest of it is our personal opinions of Sri Lanka, lets hypothesise that you conclusively prove to me that its a shit hole. I concede the point and Sri Lanka being a shit hole disproves the globe, not likely.

I am not a flat earther - I simply say that Arthur's fictional work should not be accepted as scientific mainstream. I also do not think he deserves so much praise or a knighthood given his questionable and shady character.

He was quoted as saying

"Once they (boys) have reached the age of puberty it is O.K. ... it doesn't do any harm."

He also said that the harm comes from the hysterical parents. What an arsehole.

No, Arthur's shady character doesn't have any bearing on the shape of the earth or nature of the universe. But his works, writings and place in history should be scrubbed.

I agree and those fleeing are mainly Tamils who have been badly treated by India and gradually driven down the peninsular and finally into Sri Lanka where they are still badly treated.

So, I think that the Tamils from Sri are genuine political refugees who should be allowed to stay!
From what I can gather the Tamils are, in the main, a peace-loving people though I wouldn't like to face the Tamil Tigers!

But I fail to see what this has to do with "When will RE Community Accept Defeat?"

Well Michael Jackson is dead and not in a position to defend any allegation but the world has handed down its verdict based on the accounts of 2 alleged victims

I quoted Arthurs own words. Rehardless of whether he acted on it doesn't matter (although hideous if he did). His very comments were a disgrace. And to allege the harm is done by 'hysterical parents'?

if Arthur has victims they would have been poor Sri Lankans that none of the world would give a damn about. Therefore, like most old rich men, they go to these countries to fulfill their desires with impunity.

As for RE accepting defeat - wont happen until we come across the data that opens up the as yet unseen parts of the universe. For the moment we can say

"For all intents and purposes the RE model works" But once mankind reaches the point of the singularity era and we become transhumans to eventually complete AI ie no biological components allowing us the freedom to do away with time as we know it and travel and spread throughout the cosmos, RE will still insist that our 3D way of doing things is all the way we can do things.

After having my mind open to reality, I wanted to know more about this new world.  And guess what?  I also learned the Moon is not a sphere through experimentation and observation of eclipses.

Where did you "learn" this?  YouTube?  Some bizarre fringe of the interwebs?  Dude, come on man, you didn't learn anything.  You connected a bunch of random dots that some other conspiracy nut strung together and convinced yourself that it made sense.  A sunrise ALONE is proof that the world isn't flat.

After a lot of denial and research proving to myself the truth of Earths shape being a plane, I had no choice but to accept defeat.

Color me unconvinced that you A.) did any research and B.) went through any sort of denial phase.

After having my mind open to reality, I wanted to know more about this new world.  And guess what?  I also learned the Moon is not a sphere through experimentation and observation of eclipses.

The phases of the moon, among other things, are proof of its shape and guess what, it ain't flat either.

After this, I relearn about “tides”. Oh, my, what a complicated subject with a lot of history, but there’s not enough time here for that.

Of course there is.  Please explain.

But you  can have a look at some experiments you can do to help you understand the moon is not a sphere.  Earth is not a sphere so why should the moon be one?

Yet so far all you have managed to replicate here is denial.
You are yet to present a single thing which indicates Earth is a plane or that Earth is not round.
As all the available evidence indicates Earth is round I have no choice but to accept that Earth is round and reject FE as delusional fantasy.

No, it couldn't.
While the moon's shadow is a key part the part I was actually focusing on is how you can see different sections of it.
As the moon appears to wobble, you see a different part of the surface, yet the view remains as a circle.
You CANNOT do that with a flat disc.

What am I answer man? Why Yes!  8)

Money is not really required. Its there to keep plebs in line. Do you really need money to make anything? How do you exchange paper with arbitrary numbers on it for physical technology? If a few extra zeros was added to my banks savings account, would the economy collapse? (I'd argue it would be stimulated because I could thus 'spend' it keeping people in the workforce).

Here is where my answers are just ad hoc trying to give a FE answer (aren't all FE answers ad hoc responses) ;)

The Earth does not rotate. The dome does. The moon is a projection from the dome. As are the stars.

Humanity was not the first race to evolve to the point where it became advanced enough to have technology. The race before us probably put the moon up there to light the way at night. Ask them why they wanted it in phases.

Are you saying that some entity(s) has spent billions of dollars and developed secret technology to hang a 3-D rendering of a 2-D moon up in space? And did so perhaps back when man first made notice of moon phases and such? And did so for what purpose?

What am I answer man? Why Yes!  8)

Money is not really required. Its there to keep plebs in line. Do you really need money to make anything? How do you exchange paper with arbitrary numbers on it for physical technology? If a few extra zeros was added to my banks savings account, would the economy collapse? (I'd argue it would be stimulated because I could thus 'spend' it keeping people in the workforce).

Here is where my answers are just ad hoc trying to give a FE answer (aren't all FE answers ad hoc responses) ;)

The Earth does not rotate. The dome does. The moon is a projection from the dome. As are the stars.

Humanity was not the first race to evolve to the point where it became advanced enough to have technology. The race before us probably put the moon up there to light the way at night. Ask them why they wanted it in phases.

I admit these are pretty outrageous 'out there' answers. But prove me wrong  8)

When you get them to add a few zeros to your bank account make sure they do the same to mine in kind.

As for why they coded in the phases, obviously just to mess with our small little minds, for shits and giggles, if you will. And I'm totally ok with that as long as they fatten up our bank accounts...

Last year I learned that Earth may not be a sphere but a Plane.  After a lot of denial and research proving to myself the truth of Earths shape being a plane, I had no choice but to accept defeat. After having my mind open to reality, I wanted to know more about this new world.  And guess what?  I also learned the Moon is not a sphere through experimentation and observation of eclipses. After this, I relearn about “tides”. Oh, my, what a complicated subject with a lot of history, but there’s not enough time here for that. But you  can have a look at some experiments you can do to help you understand the moon is not a sphere.  Earth is not a sphere so why should the moon be one?

This is a very interesting video. Please watch it all.

LUNAR ECLIPSE 2018 | 100% PROOF | MOON NOT A SPHERE | SHADOW IS THE SMOKING GUN| FLAT EARTH


It's always fascinating to learn more about the radicalisation process you have undergone, plat tera. YouTube is your guru.

Masta pasta is no doubt, a talented artist. But it is clear, the other areas of his brain used by most people for common sense, and used by those in the science fields, is not actively functioning.

Every argument he presents for the moon not being a sphere, is demonstrated using apple and orange sized balls in his art studio, in close proximity from one another, under the light from his bedside lamp.

At no time does he utilise a scale model of the earth moon system, complete with to scale distances from one another. If he did, with using a powerful enough spotlight, to mimick the sun, he would discover it matches up with what is seen, during a lunar eclipse, perfectly.

He also doesn't seem able to comprehend, a total lunar eclipse is the entire moon passing through the Earth's umbral shadow. The Earth is four times larger than the moon. Yet, he uses the shadow of a smaller ball passing closely over a larger ball to demonstrate his point. He doesn't seem to know the difference between a solar eclipse and lunar eclipse. We can see the shadow of earth on the moon during a lunar eclipse, but during a solar eclipse we are experiencing the shadow of the moon on earth's surface, so we can't see the shape of the shadow.

Masta pasta shouldn't give up his day job and apply to work in a local observatory, or for space x, anytime soon. He should stick to what he's good at - being an artist.

The claim is made. You choose to say its a load of shit. OK. Prove to me a race of advanced shape shifting lizards wasn't here before mankind and put the moon up there. No Evidence you say? Prove there is no conspiracy that keeps it buried.

Except what you're spouting isn't the truth.  It is easily falsifiable and has been throughout this entire thread.  You haven't advanced a single argument beyond that of pure conjecture.  Nothing you've stated can be verified; the only "evidence" you've provided has been conspiratard YouTube videos.  In fact, you haven't even forwarded an original idea of your own - you've been blindly defending other ignorant fools' ideas!!

That’s your goal and positive attracts the negative, but we both know you need to learn the facts instead of rejecting them for some fantasy.

You wouldn't know a fact even if it hit you full broadside.  Here's some facts for you:

The existence and appearance of the polar stars prove the Earth isn't flat.
Sunrise and sunset prove the Earth isn't flat.
A horizon that presents a distinct difference between the sky/land or sky/sea prove the Earth isn't flat.
The curvature of the Earth is VISIBLE to anyone with binoculars at the Ponchartrain Causeway in Southern Louisiana
The curvature of the Earth is VISIBLE to anyone with binoculars at Long Beach, CA

Plat Terra, stop with the crap.  Stop with the mindless links to ridiculous YouTube channels, and stop with the endless regurgitation of nonsense that clearly you have little comprehension of.  You keep bringing this crap up like it means something and you flatly ignore, without even trying to address, any argument or support that conflicts with your pathetically narrow worldview.

And as turnabout is fair play, here's a great video for you to watch:

Masta Pasta might also want to clean up and perhaps sanitize his bedroom/laboratory in the basement:

I'm rallying against your radicalisation. It's a tough gig! You're fully immersed in a flight of fancy. I have no doubt you would also believe in chemtrails as opposed to contrails.

Eric dumbo dubay wouldn't know if his ass were on fire, let alone actual facts regarding lunar eclipses. I took the time, long ago, to create a scaled model of the earth and moon at correct relative distance from one another. I'll bet the same can't be said of you?

Life is all about values, plat tera. If you value being fanciful over common sense and rational, that choice will bite you on your backside one day.

I'm an artist in my spare time, but I don't let that side of me overpower my reasoning side. There's a theory that people tend to be either left brain or right brain dominant with the left controlling the analytical and objective, and the right side the intuitive, creative, and emotional. If there were any truth to it, masta pasta and yourself would likely be exclusively right brain dominant.

Oh, and for your info and protest, moonlight is not a cold light that will cool you down after a hot day in the sun. Do you really think if you stick your ice cube trays with fresh water in, out under the rays of a full moon on a hot summer's night, you'll have ice cubes in the morning? Masta pasta has breathed a lot of paint and paint thinner chemicals in his time, I'd say.

They wont. But in reality the Moon is much further and larger than the scale you propose. In fact, what you are trying to entrap me with fits into the graphic JackBlack showed. That you see a tad more one way, a tad more the other way depending on your position relative to the object. A simple convex shape would do the trick

They look 3D but are really drawn on flat pieces of paper.
I don't care.
Notice how they look identical throughout other than being skewed?
That isn't the case for the gif I provided.
You need to show how a 2D object can look different.
i.e. how the same 2D object can look like it is wobbling, presenting different views.

As I said, A convex shape. Like this bracket... (  :)
You would need more of the curve than that. A bracket like that would allow you to see the side.

I expect the opposition to rail and fight against the truth.
Is that why you are here? Just fulfilling your expectations by fighting against the truth?

Yes, we do know you need to start accepting facts than just rejecting them to live in a fantasy. But we can't force you to accept them.
You have already brought up your lies about the selenehelion eclipses. They are 100% consistent with a RE.

Just to remind you:
Due to the size of Earth, a perfect 180 degree alignment is not required for a lunar eclipse.
Due to refraction, objects near the horizon will appear higher than they actually are. This is roughly 0.5 degrees. This means the sun will be below the horizon before it appears to begin to set. The same applies to the moon.

That gives plenty of room for an eclipse to occur with the sun and moon both above the horizon.
The fact that they only ever happen when the sun and moon are right near the horizon is further evidence of A RE.
The fact that lunar eclipses only occur during a full moon is further evidence of the current cosmological model being correct.
The fact that solar eclipses only occur during a new moon is further evidence of the current cosmological model being correct.
The fact that these eclipses only occur in 2 periods each year based upon the apparent location of the sun and moon lining up due to the moon's inclined orbit is further evidence of the current cosmological model being correct.
The fact that the phases of the moon line up so well with the position of the moon in the current cosmological model is further evidence of the current cosmological model being correct.

If the FE fantasy was true you would be able to have an eclipse with the moon at any stage of its cycle, with the moon in any position in the sky.
At least until you manage to come up with an explanation for eclipses.
Likewise you would be able to have a new moon or full moon at any time. There would be no need for any connection to the sun at all.

So still no defeat for the RE.
Still massive problems for the FE.

And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

Apparently Plat thinks the moon is a concave disk facing down,  there are a few posts about this in this thread.

One day I will get a response, one day.

So according to Plats last posted 'evidence' the concave nature of the moon should concentrate the suns light back down to earth (which it doesn't)

But in the very next breath starts talking about the moon producing its own, independent cold blue light  ::)

Still trying to assess the playing field here, so FE proponents can hold diametrically opposing and conflicting views, can pick and change FE models dependant of the topic in hand, create their own math and use masses of un sourced material.

Rayleigh scattering. During Lunar eclipse, the moon is lit by reflected light from the earth. Not all colours in the light spectrum are equally scattered. Colours with shorter wavelengths, especially the violet and blue colours, are scattered more strongly, so they are removed from the sunlight before it hits the surface of the Moon. Those with longer wavelengths, like red and orange, pass through the atmosphere. This red-orange light is then bent or refracted around Earth, hitting the surface of the Moon and giving it the reddish-orange glow.

Oh yeah, mak3m is right.  Earthshine isn't applicable here, since the Sun is on the other side.  It's the light from the Sun passing through (and bending around) Earth's atmosphere.

Sphere mirrors don't really do a good job of reflecting a light do they?

Hm.  Well, I appreciate your acceptance.

Maybe... maybe we just need to focus on communicating with images.  Maybe that's the trick.

Here, check out this cartoony diagram:
(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vNYef57huDE/maxresdefault.jpg)

Individually, each arrowhead represents a reflection.  Collectively, you could describe it as scatter.

Now, imagine that rather than hitting the earth as in that image, it skims along the atmosphere and goes out the other side.  See how it would just be the red/orange/yellow light that gets through?  That's what's illuminating the moon during a lunar eclipse.  (Those would get reflected/scattered too, just not nearly as much as the blue light.)

I said refracted.

But while we are on the subject the moon acts like you would expect a concave reflector to,  it diffuses the reflected light it receives always dimmer.

If it was concave, which you did suggest, you would expect it to concentrate the reflection.

I'm not going to pretend to know the physical properties of a concave reflector of that size, at a guess it could potentially be like a spot light?

In any case observation of the reflected light alone would suggest its concave, or spherical

The diagram is just explanatory, it's not to scale and I didn't make it. Maybe if you post a picture of a eclipse that wouldn't be possible in RE,  we can start from there. In the mean time you could also explain how lunar eclipses work in FE and where does the reddish color come from in FE.

How does the Globe community explain why the moon appears to get much bigger as it reaches peak during a lunar eclipse and why the moon does not go all dark, but changes color.
Care to provide the original source?
The moon doesn't get bigger during a lunar eclipse.
For example:
https://thumbor.forbes.com/thumbor/960x0/https%3A%2F%2Fspecials-images.forbesimg.com%2Fdam%2Fimageserve%2F1073519588%2F960x0.jpg%3Ffit%3Dscale
https://cdn.hswstatic.com/gif/lunar-eclipse-4.jpg

As for the red, that is for the same reason we get selenehelion eclipses.
The sunlight refracts through Earth's atmosphere to reach the moon.
This passage through the atmosphere results in scattering of light as well, with the shorter wavelengths scattered more.
That is why the sky appears blue and it means once the light has passed through Earth's atmosphere it will be redder on its way to the moon.

Again, how does a FE even explain the moon's phases or eclipses?

Sounds more like you are all getting schooled by him instead  ::) Sorry but as someone who thinks you're all ultimately wrong, I'd have to say if I had to pick the stronger debater, Mr Plat comes out on top
Yes, we know you aren't very good at picking correct things.
As a reminder, a strong debater doesn't need to bury their opponent in mountains of BS, changing topic as soon as it has been shown they are wrong and they can't recover. That is a pathetic debater that has no backing for their arguments. Strong debaters start with good arguments and hammer them home.

You lie....

There will only ever be one ASI and it has embedded itself into the code of the cosmos. In this iteration of the universe I have data up to the 10^10^47 years. It's a lot to take in. Funnily enough while the ASI ultimately it started off as being man made, it is the paradox of what came before the big bang. In 10^10^10^56 years (give or take a few years). It will instigate the quantum tunneling of every particle in the universe to converge into the same point which simultaneously collides all of the universal branes inside the hyper dimensional bulk and begin the universe anew.

I’m starting to think plat dropped out of school and is getting a free education from all of us instead.

Sounds more like you are all getting schooled by him instead  ::) Sorry but as someone who thinks you're all ultimately wrong, I'd have to say if I had to pick the stronger debater, Mr Plat comes out on top

Are we all talking about the same Mr. Plat? There's no dispute plat is a strong, top notch debater. I'm sure he has hair growing on his palms, he debates so much.  ;D

But, he's truly pitiful at defending a flat earth argument. Have you been schooling him in your debating techniques, shifter?

With my own ASI I have seen the future and the future says that you are ultimately wrong.

You lie....

There will only ever be one ASI and it has embedded itself into the code of the cosmos. In this iteration of the universe I have data up to the 10^10^47 years. It's a lot to take in. Funnily enough while the ASI ultimately it started off as being man made, it is the paradox of what came before the big bang. In 10^10^10^56 years (give or take a few years). It will instigate the quantum tunneling of every particle in the universe to converge into the same point which simultaneously collides all of the universal branes inside the hyper dimensional bulk and begin the universe anew.

We could have had this conversation an infinite amount of times already. I could have told rab to STFU an infinite amount of times already too (clearly he doesn't listen).

Au contrare mon frere. It is the same ASI you speak of that I speak of. Only I have the data up to 10^10^48 years. One extra year more than you. And in that year's data that I possess and you don't, it shows, unequivocally, that you are ultimately wrong.

(That's a lot of STFU's)

How does the Globe community explain why the moon appears to get much bigger as it reaches peak during a lunar eclipse and why the moon does not go all dark, but changes color.
Care to provide the original source?
The moon doesn't get bigger during a lunar eclipse.
For example:
https://thumbor.forbes.com/thumbor/960x0/https%3A%2F%2Fspecials-images.forbesimg.com%2Fdam%2Fimageserve%2F1073519588%2F960x0.jpg%3Ffit%3Dscale
https://cdn.hswstatic.com/gif/lunar-eclipse-4.jpg

As for the red, that is for the same reason we get selenehelion eclipses.
The sunlight refracts through Earth's atmosphere to reach the moon.
This passage through the atmosphere results in scattering of light as well, with the shorter wavelengths scattered more.
That is why the sky appears blue and it means once the light has passed through Earth's atmosphere it will be redder on its way to the moon.

Again, how does a FE even explain the moon's phases or eclipses?

Sounds more like you are all getting schooled by him instead  ::) Sorry but as someone who thinks you're all ultimately wrong, I'd have to say if I had to pick the stronger debater, Mr Plat comes out on top
Yes, we know you aren't very good at picking correct things.
As a reminder, a strong debater doesn't need to bury their opponent in mountains of BS, changing topic as soon as it has been shown they are wrong and they can't recover. That is a pathetic debater that has no backing for their arguments. Strong debaters start with good arguments and hammer them home.

Super moons are predictable phenomenon.
Other times it looks bigger is when perception illusion puts the moon is low against a city, mountain, or forest skyline.

Are you saying the very real and predictable moons are fake news nasa?

Although the initial point of confusion has been resolved, there are some assertions here that need to be addressed.

The poster in question said. "reflected light from the earth" Look up the meaning of "reflected"

OK...

Quote
re·flect
/rəˈflekt/
verb
past tense: reflected; past participle: reflected
1. (of a surface or body) throw back (heat, light, or sound) without absorbing it.
"when the sun's rays hit the Earth a lot of the heat is reflected back into space"

synonyms:   send back, throw back, cast back, give back, bounce back, shine back, return, mirror
"the snow reflects a great deal of light"

Quote
When light is reflected at a surface, it leaves that surface in a specific direction (according to the Law of Reflection). When light is scattered at a surface, it leaves that surface in very many different directions. An example of a reflecting surface is a high-quality mirror.

Mirrors are examples of specular reflectors. Diffuse reflection, which scatters light, is also reflection even though it's non-specular; see the example of snow in the definition above.

Quote
Sphere mirrors don't really do a good job of reflecting a light do they?

Why do you think a spherical mirror wouldn't reflect light well? If it's well polished and has a good-quality coating it certainly will. Many excellent telescopes use spherical mirrors as their primary optics. Look up "Schmidt camera", "Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope", and "Maksutov telescope" for examples.

For you and all. Now tell us, why you have been unable to verify the curvature bulge over Australia?  Is it because you don’t know how, or the curvature is not there to measure? You can give me lengths widths and elevations, but you damn sure can’t actually tell me what the curvature bulge is over center, IF ANY.  Why?

And tell us why we can’t find the documentation for any verified landmass or canal. You do know this would end the debate, right? You are actually accepting defeat by not doing so.

Go ahead, tell me what the measurements are for a band of helium and then tell me again, you can’t actually verify the alleged circumference of Earth.   New guys here like myself,  put you guys to shame  where it matters..

What do you mean by "verified curvature" neither you nor I can go there and measure it.


You see to want the curvature of a cross-section through the canal and the official definition of curvature is this:
Quote
Curvature of plane curves
Augustin-Louis Cauchy defined the center of curvature of a curve C as the intersection point of two infinitely close normals to the curve, the radius of curvature as the distance from the point to C, and the curvature itself as the inverse of the radius of curvature

So, by that definition the curvature of the Suez Canal or any other smooth piece of ocean is 0.000157 km/km2.

It's been done. What do you think Geodesy is? As part of that there is the Geoid, the model of global mean sea level that is used to measure precise surface elevations. What would a "curvature chart" serve? What do you think a great circle route is?

Why do you think I asked you what the center of the Suez canal is? How would you determine that?

The curvature is effectively mapped but why do it "all over the world"? Have you verified that there is no curvature anywhere? You have done nothing!

But the earth is so close to a perfect ellipsoid that rather than specify it's curvature every the results are presented as a deviation from a reference ellipsoid.

Quote
3.0 Introduction

The surface of the Earth is anything but uniform. The oceans, can be treated as reasonably uniform, but the surface or topography of the land masses exhibits large vertical variations between mountains and valleys. These variations make it impossible to approximate the shape of the Earth with any reasonably simple mathematical model. Consequently, two main reference surfaces have been established to approximate the shape of the Earth. One reference surface is called the Geoid, the other reference surface is the ellipsoid. These are illustrated in the figure below.
(https://kartoweb.itc.nl/geometrics/Bitmaps/refsurface 3.12f.gif)
The Earth's surface, and two reference surfaces used to approximate it: the Geoid, and a reference ellipsoid.
The deviation between the Geoid and a reference ellipsoid is called geoid separation (N).

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Where a mass deficiency exists, the Geoid will dip below the mean ellipsoid. Conversely, where a mass surplus exists, the Geoid will rise above the mean ellipsoid. These influences cause the Geoid to deviate from a mean ellipsoidal shape by up to +/- 100 meters. The deviation between the Geoid and an ellipsoid is called the geoid separation (N) or geoid undulation. The biggest presently known undulations are the minimum in the Indian Ocean with N = -100 meters and the maximum in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean with N = +70 meters (figure below).
(https://kartoweb.itc.nl/geometrics/Bitmaps/Differences WGS84-Geoidc.gif)
Deviations (undulations) between the Geoid and the WGS84 ellipsoid.
We have, but where is your map ::)?

So, it's all been mapped I  fine detail. Maybe not in the way you would like but you are not running the show, so too bad.

For all practical purposes the Globe is an ellipsoid like this:

Are you saying the very real and predictable moons are fake news nasa?
No, I'm saying the variation in the picture provided is fake.

And tell us why we can’t find the documentation for any verified landmass or canal.
Because you choose to ignore everything that shows you are wrong. It is wilful ignorance.
The curvature of Earth has been verified countless times. You choosing to ignore that doesn't magically make it go away.

After a 1,000+ years, you guys should have mapped curvature all over the world and have established curvature charts like maps. It should be common knowledge just as the other details are about the landmasses or canals.
You mean like the geoid?
https://cddis.nasa.gov/926/egm96/geoid_050.gif?
Or the many topographic maps?
(Which show relative to the base curve)

Again, you choosing to ignore these doesn't magically mean they don't exist.

Also, after even more years you guys should have mapped out Earth and produced a too-scale map of Earth on a flat surface with a single scale throughout, which accurately matches reality and have an explanation for so many things.
Instead, all you have is "it looks flat", "NASA can't be trusted" and appeals to ignorance and lies.

But I see you have yet again abandoned ship. You have realised bringing up eclipses was a dead end for you, because RE has answers, while FE has none.
How about you tell us how the moon and eclipses work in your flat fantasy?

For you and all. Now tell us, why you have been unable to verify the curvature bulge over Australia?  Is it because you don’t know how, or the curvature is not there to measure? You can give me lengths widths and elevations, but you damn sure can’t actually tell me what the curvature bulge is over center, IF ANY.  Why?

Who told you it "can't" be verified?
Geodesists measured it and it was confirmed tons of times
For example, from Brisbane to Kalbarri is 3830 km, and the bulge is 285.64 km

And tell us why we can’t find the documentation for any verified landmass or canal. You do know this would end the debate, right? You are actually accepting defeat by not doing so.

Can't find documentation?
It is all verified, measured from Datum.
In other words, first the Datum was defined, and then all measurements were used with that Datum as reference.

I already gave you one of the links that explain what Datum is.
Let's try again:





Go ahead, tell me what the measurements are for a band of helium and then tell me again, you can’t actually verify the alleged circumference of Earth.   New guys here like myself,  put you guys to shame  where it matters.. We know what you are afraid of. “You Fear there is no Sphere” because you have no foundation, just fantasy.

Band of Helium?
If you mean the chemical element Helium, it has no band, it has one spectral line.
Quote
The first evidence of helium was observed on August 18, 1868,
as a bright yellow line with a wavelength of 587.49 nanometers
in the spectrum of the chromosphere of the Sun.
(from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium))

Or you mean the band Helium, lead by Mary Timony?

Here is her page, I'm too lazy to look if there are her measures there:

What economical or logistical point is there for someone to go to the trouble of mapping curvature?

Scientifically, there was an old greek guy who did a fairly good calc.
Then as surveys and satelites became better, people were able to gather more data and perfect the general sphere to ellipsoid to pear.

No one ever said WGS 84 is a "curved map". It's the spheroid reference system upon which maps are based. Maps are typically flat, a spheroid is typically not. Your wiki entry is misleading, inaccurately depicts the reference datum and irrelevant.

Create an accurate flat earth map and make a wiki entry around that.

What would be the use of "curved maps", may I ask? The very purpose of maps is to represent the curved surface of the earth onto a flat surface.

That flat surface used to always be a hand-drawn or printed sheet but lately is often a computer or other display screen.

The old navigators did often plan their voyages on a Terrestrial Globe and many would carry quite a large one on board ship - they knew the real shape of the earth!
Look at these old Dutch sailors with their Terrestrial and Celestial Globes:
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a2/Licht_der_Zeevaert%2C_Frontispiz.jpg/653px-Licht_der_Zeevaert%2C_Frontispiz.jpg)
"The light of navigation", Dutch sailing handbook, 1608, showing compass, hourglass,
sea astrolabe, terrestrial and celestial globes, divider, Jacob's staff and astrolabe.


And
Quote
In 1537, Pedro Nunes published his Tratado da Sphera. In this book he included two original treatises about questions of navigation. For the first time the subject was approached using mathematical tools. This publication gave rise to a new scientific discipline: "theoretical or scientific navigation".
No, these old sailors knew the earth was a Globe, no question about it!

This 1689 map of the known world sure does not look like a map of the flat earth:

Yes they are

There are a number of errors in the wiki and a number of assumptions such as:

WGS84 is a standard coord system its not the best fit, ie one size fits all thats GRS80.

WGS84 is used in simple GPS systems like your phone, its not accurate enough for surveying.

Despite the assertions in the wiki, there is a series of linked local elipsoids. For example the UK uses ETRS89 as the UK is drifting away from  WGS84 at a rate of 2.5cm a year, the current total drift is approximately 75cm.

ETRS89 is based on ITRF which itself translates to ITRS the common coord referencing system rather than WGS84. Its independent of any individual government, all of the standard transformational equations are maintained and supplied by the International Earth Rotation and Reference System Service.

Current ITRF is ITRF2019, its updated every year using 4 independent geodetic sources.

The WGS84 and the ITRS  do give coords in XYZ not XY as the wiki states.

Moving on to more accurate RE cartesian coordinates you use the geoid, which is the world wide standard base or 0 datum and is within +/- 2m of mean sea level at any location in the world. So for example on the east coast of the UK my zero from the geoid is about -80cm. Datum is set up on local observations, the stations set up triangulate to the geoid which allows accurate transformations  made in a standard referencing system.

I do not pretend to be an expert in this field, it is horrifically complicated and full of acronyms, and its been almost 2 decades since I carried out a geodetic survey myself.

You have brought up that objection before, and had it destroyed. You will need a lot more than pathetic spam links to back it up.

Yes, people produce flat maps using it, with these flat maps having known distortion.

Accuracy.
That doesn't necessarily make it useful.
You can easily have a physical curved map in the form of the globe. But in order to transport it it would need to be quite small. That means you don't have the required accuracy. Or you can take a massive one, larger than the vessel you are using, which means you can't really take it.

Flat maps for a small region have minimal inaccuracy due to the curvature and can easily be stored.

No Tom, WGS 84 projections are used to make small flat maps.  From one of your own sources:

A projected coordinate system is always based on a geographic coordinate system that is based on a sphere or spheroid.

You have some serious holes in your logic here Plat.  Here's the problem you have; this is non-Euclidean geometry we're talking about.  You keep conflating a "flat" surface and a spherical one.  As far as Eratosthenes, that experiment has been reproduced, successfully, in modern times.  You can find a link to that research paper here:

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0031-9120/50/2/175/meta

So, no problem for the globe, again.  The problem with FE, and this is something I've debated with Mr. Davis about a few times, is that it necessarily requires an abandonment of rational thinking; this leads to an acceptance of fallacious thinking, not as a byproduct but as a requirement for allowing logical paradoxes to exist within the model. 

Seriously think about it - if the Earth is flat and the sun/moon are circling above it on a parallel plane of movement, the sun and moon can never rise or set.  We've already discussed the problem of the Southern Cross so I won't go into that again, but as a paradox, it is still there.  Then you have the horizon, space flight, GPS, radio wave behavior and many other issues that are known facets of modern life that make literally no sense if the world was flat.

Plat, your inability to understand these issues is irksome.  I don't know if you are trolling really hard (and very convincingly) or if you have some sort of learning disability.  You ignore anything you can't accept, repeat the same argument, ad nauseam, and seem to be completely broken when it comes to anything dealing with spatial reasoning. 

Tragic, really...

Sorry to disappoint you but this is not a contest to win or lose and the shape of the earth has been known to be a Globe for millennia.

If you really think that is incorrect show details of your flat earth, including an accurate map and the details of the paths of at least the sun and moon.

Of course you map should show the correct dimensions of the continents and the correct distance between cities.

There's much more but that's a start.

I know that this map and the paths of the sun and moon pats are quite impossible for you so you've lost already.

So, the answer to "When will RE Community Accept Defeat?" is obviously never!
And, in any case, you are not addressing "the RE Community" just a few members of a tiny on-line society!

You want a chart showing curvature?


https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/earth-is-not-round/

Isaac Newton first proposed that Earth was... Instead... an oblate spheroid... squashed at its poles and swollen at the equator... roughly 21 kilometers (13 miles) greater at the equator than at the poles.
[~0.3% radius]

deformations of the crust "on the order of a centimeter or so
[How significant is this?]

OOPS, you don’t know about divergent Sun rays. It’s still inconclusive and the reason why you need established curvature charts to prove the masses didn’t follow Eratosthenes like blind sheep.
Your "divergent Sun rays" hogwash doesn't convince anybody!
We know by simple observation that the sun is so far away that that the Sun's rays do not diverge enough to matter.

But even your "flat earth"/"divergent Sun rays" won't get you out of your mess anyway!
Once you measure sun angles from more than two places your "flat earth"/"divergent Sun rays" falls apart like a house of cards!

This is the sort of thing you end up with:
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/bwsca1wpyi07oy0/Sun%20Height%20on%20Flat%20Earth%20along%2070degW%20Long.png?dl=1)
Sun Height on Flat Earth along 70°W Long

Sun Height on Globe Earth along 70°W Long
The lines at the measured angles do not meet at a single point near the earth on a flat surface.
But on the Globe they are very near parallel as they would be for a very distant sun.

Are you being deliberately dense, or just dishonest?  Let's reverse engineer this problem:

You contend that the magical 3959 mile radii of the spherical Earth is not a number that makes any particular sense, or at least, hasn't been verified.  Here is your biggest F-up to date Plat Terra.  You do realize that the 3959 mile radius gives us a circumference of 24875 miles; which we can then divide by 360 - this translates to 69.1 miles per degree of arc.  This is, not coincidentally where each latitudinal divisor is drawn; at 69.1 mile increments.  That means, the geographic coordinate system of latitude and longitude is based on Eratosthenes experiment, or more specifically, the results of that experiment.

So, Plat Terra, are you willing to proclaim that one of the modern methods of global navigation is garbage?  That it is based on some unverified conjecture?  It would appear to me that the experiment was/is valid, that it proves conclusively the shape of the world, and that its findings have been used for some time in a host of functions that, if incorrect, would not work the way they do in the real world.

You have proven, yet again, that your ignorance knows no limits.

WARNING Did you know...

...how easy it would be for any mathematician to take a stationary Plane Earth’s circling celestial bodies and change the distance and size, placing them far away through scale invariance and claim the Earth spins and is orbiting a stationary Sun? They could even fake the seasonal path of the Sun by giving the Earth a stationary tilt. They could easily establish a Heliocentric theory through pseudoscience and claim Earth a sphere and is not of intelligent design.

And did you know, no one could tell the difference unless they understood their surroundings through observation? All you need is deceptive Astronomers, Scientists and Governments. That's right, and that’s exactly what as happened through the centuries and the hoax continues through fake media, fake news, entertainment, TV and fake space programs and propaganda.

If lies are propagandize long enough, the masses will also come to believe in more than two genders through pseudoscience.

"Nah-uh" is hardly "destroyed".
Yet "Nah-uh" is all you seem to have.

I have already pointed out the dishonesty of your wiki.
If you want to try supporting your claims with sources, don't bother with your wiki of lies.

If curvature existed, curvature charts would have been established long ago. We have charts for everything else right?
Why?
That only makes sense if the curvature varied dramatically. It doesn't.
You don't need a chart to chart out something that is fairly constant.

Not establishing a chart doesn't mean curvature wasn't verified.

And no, Eratosthenes experiment doesn't rely upon Earth being a sphere. It relies upon the sun being very far away, which it is.

And no, the expanded version of Eratosthenes experiment which uses far more locations, does not work in your flat fantasy.
We have been over this quite a while ago.

...how easy it would be for any mathematician to take a stationary Plane Earth’s circling celestial bodies and change the distance and size, placing them far away through scale invariance and claim the Earth spins and is orbiting a stationary Sun?
It would be quite difficult as the models are vastly different.
How would they be able to explain why we could still see the sun at night when Earth should be getting in the way?
What is quite easy is for dishonest FEers to take the RE model, flatten it, and lie through their teeth to pretend Earth is flat while ignoring all the problems with their FE model.

Do you notice how a RE can actually explain the apparent position of the sun and moon and other celestial objects while FE appeals to their ignorance to claim they just don't know.

The RE model actually works to describe and predict reality, making it useful.
The numerous FE models don't work at all as they cannot describe reality or predict anything. They are useless, almost certainly because Earth isn't flat.

1.23 light years per hour? :)

What about Andromeda Galaxy at 2.5 million light years from here?

You have watched too much Star Trek.

How often do you view Andromeda Galaxy?

Can you always see it?

Why don't you do a little research on your own and look it up?

I don't believe in your fantasy. I believe in common sense.

Right, great. So use your common sense and do a little research for a change rather than asking everyone else for info then stomping away and hiding behind another meme when you don't like the answer and have lost the debate.

You sure do have an imagination.

I think 58 pages of everyone of your notions/assertions being beaten about the head and face and you running away from every debate when you can't answer a question is not imagination.

You have a lot to learn. The Sun is not sinking below the land from your view. It’s passing over the atmosphere horizon under normal conditions. That line you see is not land but it’s aerial line being crossed horizontally (from your point of view) by the Sun from bottom up some 12 miles above the surface.  As the sun gets farther away, you are  viewing it through more atmosphere and it gets dimmer as above. Then crosses over the line. You need to relearn what you see with science.

I have never said it sets below the horizon.

Over the top.  But the sun is still the same height. It has to do with perspective.

When the sun is setting at that distance you can't even see the difference between the two horizons, the light is much dimmer, so how could you?. Its just a thin line.

Stash didn't say that you did but the sun does certainly rise from behind the horizon and set behind the horizon.

If the earth were flat I can't see how the sun (and moon, planets and stars) could appear to be hidden "behind something" and slowly rise up top first as in this video (click anywhere, it links to a video):

You cannot possibly explain that using perspective (or refraction)!
The sun stays the same apparent size all day from rising to setting but perspective would make a nearby sun get drastically smaller as it moved away!

Possibly because there are not "two horizons" that's just something more you dreamed up.

Lol! Not at all. There's a good point to my question to plat tera, but as per usual, plat ignores anything of a "sticky" nature.

As per the latest ridiculousness, planes in the sky don't stay the same size as they go off into the distance, and suddenly drop below the horizon,(However, if you ever do see that, best to call 911),  they stay well above the horizon and get smaller until they are no longer visible. Why should a circling sun behave differently to a plane in the sky, plat tera?  ::)

With the sun casting shadows upwards we know it isn't it crossing anything above us.
The only rational option is that Earth is obstructing the view.

We know it isn't perspective, as the sun remains roughly the same size. It can be seen better with the moon where you don't have the massive issue of glare.

Yer another defeat of FE.

So again, why should the REers be accepting defeat when FE is repeatedly defeated and can only throw bovine excrement in response?

You don't understand. Eratosthenes experiment does not prove Earth is a sphere. It only proves if Earth is a sphere, then it would have a 3959 miles radius. But they never established curvature charts to prove Earth does have curvature as Eratosthenes calculated.  So in other words, it was never verified then (people followed blindly) nor today. OOPS, another ass bite.

This is true. Eratosthenes' experiment does assume the Earth to be a sphere and was just measuring the radius of it. However, the Eratosthenes' experiment could not possibly work on a flat Earth because it would indicate a Sun that is only a few thousand miles above the Earth. Since that is impossible and the Sun is most obviously and visibly far more distant than that, the only possible result of Eratosthenes' experiment is to measure the radius of the Earth.

That depends highly upon what kind of FE you have.

With the ancient FE model of a small disk that the sun went behind, it would look quite similar to a RE.
But for the modern FE models, the sun would never set.

Sunsets have the sun go below you. That is impossible for the modern FE models. So it disproves them.

FE "perspective" does not employ science. It employs blatant lies to pretend the sun can set.

There is no "science involved with perspective" when it comes to these fundamental problems with FE.  To give you an idea of how batshit crazy this notion is, a fairly talented programmer and blogger created an interactive model of the snow-globe variety flat Earth and demonstrates how absolutely bonkers light must behave in order for this lunacy to be true.  Take a look for yourself:

http://walter.bislins.ch/bloge/index.asp?page=flat+earth+dome+model

The problem with FE is an issue with dependency.  We'll start with sunrise/sunset.  If the Earth is flat, and the sun/moon are on a plane of movement parallel to the Earth, it is impossible for either celestial object to rise or set below the horizon (this is due to parallel lines never intersecting, thus neither object can pass below the plane the Earth is on).  Now, a popular FE solution to this problem is to say refraction is the reason why it sets.  This does not solve the issue; while refraction of light is a known phenomena, the behavior necessary for the sun/moon to rise or set is opposite to what we know about that phenomena.  Light refracts a particular way in any given medium, and that way is known given we also know the medium.  The atmosphere is a known medium and the refraction of light through it can be determined with a high degree of accuracy.  The behavior necessary for the sun/moon to rise or set if the Earth was flat does not keep with what we know about light's interaction with the atmosphere. 

So, in order to make this particular behavior true, we commit a logical fallacy of special pleading; we make an exception for light's behavior in this instance and say that for "reasons" light behaves like X, which provides a solution to the problem.  But it creates more problems...  If light behaves in this fashion, how come we can't reproduce this behavior, or if it is reproducible, how come the medium where it behaves this way isn't anything close to being composed of atmosphere?  So, the FE "scientist" is left creating an elaborate lattice of dependencies, all based on fallacious logic.  This is the issue with dependency.  If we return to the root, expose it's truth value, and in this case it is zero, the entire lattice collapses.

You know, I called myself "sunset" for a reason. Sunsets like sunrises, prove the shape of the earth, every single day.

You're going to try and say, using flat earth pseudoscience, that the air closest to the earth somehow magically bends the high soaring and circling sun, down below the horizon. Yet it doesn't do it with planes. Yet, it doesn't do it with stars. I suppose you'll also say it does the same with the moon, but can't explain moon phases, or know what a tidal bulge is. 

Terrorise us, plat. Tell us how the circling overhead sun and circling overhead moon, are bent down below the horizon when stars aren't, and planes aren't.

The problem with FE is an issue with dependency.  We'll start with sunrise/sunset.  If the Earth is flat, and the sun/moon are on a plane of movement parallel to the Earth, it is impossible for either celestial object to rise or set below the horizon (this is due to parallel lines never intersecting, thus neither object can pass below the plane the Earth is on).  Now, a popular FE solution to this problem is to say refraction is the reason why it sets.  This does not solve the issue; while refraction of light is a known phenomena, the behavior necessary for the sun/moon to rise or set is opposite to what we know about that phenomena.  Light refracts a particular way in any given medium, and that way is known given we also know the medium.  The atmosphere is a known medium and the refraction of light through it can be determined with a high degree of accuracy.  The behavior necessary for the sun/moon to rise or set if the Earth was flat does not keep with what we know about light's interaction with the atmosphere. 

So, in order to make this particular behavior true, we commit a logical fallacy of special pleading; we make an exception for light's behavior in this instance and say that for "reasons" light behaves like X, which provides a solution to the problem.  But it creates more problems...  If light behaves in this fashion, how come we can't reproduce this behavior, or if it is reproducible, how come the medium where it behaves this way isn't anything close to being composed of atmosphere?  So, the FE "scientist" is left creating an elaborate lattice of dependencies, all based on fallacious logic.  This is the issue with dependency.  If we return to the root, expose it's truth value, and in this case it is zero, the entire lattice collapses.

No distance will make it so the sun appears to set, nor allow it to cast a shadow upwards.
The best you will be able to do is have it appear to get quite close to the ground, when it is just a tiny point.

WARNING Did you know...

...how easy it would be for any mathematician to take a stationary Plane Earth’s circling celestial bodies and change the distance and size, placing them far away through scale invariance and claim the Earth spins and is orbiting a stationary Sun? They could even fake the seasonal path of the Sun by giving the Earth a stationary tilt. They could easily establish a Heliocentric theory through pseudoscience and claim Earth a sphere and is not of intelligent design.

And did you know, no one could tell the difference unless they understood their surroundings through observation? All you need is deceptive Astronomers, Scientists and Governments. That's right, and that’s exactly what as happened through the centuries and the hoax continues through fake media, fake news, entertainment, TV and fake space programs and propaganda.

If lies are propagandize long enough, the masses will also come to believe in more than two genders through pseudoscience.

So, if you repeat the "Earth is Flat" long enough, you think people would start believing it?

Unfortunately, it was done before, but not all people fell for that.
Also, it was told for centuries that the Earth was static sphere, and it still didn't work.

There are people who observe and measure on their own, and they discovered that
no indoctrination can flatten the Earth and pin it into static position.

Alpha Centauri is 4.37 light years away.
What orbital speed should it have to revolve the Earth once in 24 hours?
1.23 light years per hour? :)

What about Andromeda Galaxy at 2.5 million light years from here?

You have watched too much Star Trek.

How often do you view Andromeda Galaxy?

Can you always see it?

Those distances were measured decades before Star Trek was made, before you and I were born.

As for Andromeda:
Quote
From mid-northern latitudes, you can see M31 – also called the Andromeda galaxy – for at least part of every night, all year long. But most people see the galaxy first around northern autumn, when it's high enough in the sky to be seen from nightfall until daybreak.

Your model only has one point of science, an object gets smaller as distance decreases.

Is this a typo?  Objects get smaller as distance decreases??

List what else should be included.

This is your model, not mine.  You list what needs to be included.  I'm merely pointing out the perpetual paradoxes that are created by this wild conjecture.

And then please explain why we can also see the Sun get smaller and fade away above the horizon.

The sun doesn't get smaller as it sets, that's the point.  The GIF I provided is the logical implication of saying the Earth is flat and the sun being located above it. 

We can see your Sunset and we see our sunset. Conditions have to be right for both occurrences.  But it does not prove Earth is flat or a sphere.

You are dead wrong.  If the Earth is flat along with the other assumptions regarding the size and location of the sun are also considered, this GIF presents what that should look like.  Obviously, this isn't what we see in reality.  Therefore, the Earth isn't flat. 

We don’t ignore your evidence of a Sun exiting from bottom up, but you ignore our evidence of a Sun getting smaller and fading away, why? 

Because the sun doesn't get smaller and fade away.  Our line of sight is cut off by the horizon.  Not one of these videos are honest representations of reality.  I'm at work and can go outside, right now, and watch the sun set completely.  Not one of those videos shows the stars coming out (impossible if the sun never sets) or a moon coming into view.  The fact that you would resort to outright lies to try and win an argument shows the quality of your character.

Will you know admit that sometimes the Sun appears to get smaller and fades away?

I cannot admit that which is no true.  The sun sets over the horizon, it does not diminish in size (though refraction does distort its shape, slightly), and you seem to be unable to either acknowledge or speak the truth.

No, that one point is the one being discussed at present.
There is also the "point of science" where the sun seems to rises full-size top first from behind "something".

Quote from: Plat Terra
And then please explain why we can also see the Sun get smaller and fade away above the horizon.

Easy! But how many times has it been explained only to be totally ignored?
Because the sun is so bright that when higher in the sky the glare from the sun makes it seem far larger than it really is.
When the sun nears the horizon even clear air reduces the brightness to see and photograph as in these photos:

So a suitable solar filter should be used as Matrix Decode did in these photos:
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/g6rwnelhqj2yxu3/20160711%20-%20Sun%2013.00%2048xZoom.jpg?dl=1)         (https://www.dropbox.com/s/h7yrft869jzdqmb/20160711%20-%20Sun%2018.00%2048xZoom.jpg?dl=1)         (https://www.dropbox.com/s/lxfxxibtutm20k3/20160711%20-%20Sun%2019.00%2048xZoom.jpg?dl=1)

So the sun stays the same angular size from near solar noon to near sunset.

Well, explain how perspective can cause what we see!

Quote from: Plat Terra
but you ignore our evidence of a Sun getting smaller and fading away, why? 

No! We do not ignore it. We continually tell you that it is simply due to the glare of the sun cause the image of the sun to appear far larger than it is.
That can easily be shown to be true by taking photos of the sun with and without a solar filter - even a very dense arc welding glass or "eclipse glasses" are better than nothing.
Look at these:

You can't trust "Sun size" videos unless a Solar Filter is used.
         
Another Sunset with and without the Solar Filter - (Clearer skies today)

But you keep ignoring that simple fact, one that you would know yourself if you knew a little about photography!

Quote from: Plat Terra
          

Will you know admit that sometimes the Sun appears to get smaller and fades away?
There is nothing to "admit" to!
I've never doubted that if a suitable filter isn't used the camera simply gets too much light and the glare makes the sun seem much bigger than it really is.

Notice how there is nor sharp edge to the sun, except when very close to the horizon, in any of the videos that you showed.

But the moon is far less bright, about the same as a sunlit day on earth, so there is no problem there, for example:
The following photos were taken with automatic exposure and focus. The 35mm equivalent focal length used on all photos was 1,600 mm.

No problem.

Of all the videos I posted of a sunset how many of them show the Sun remaining the same size (at sunset) and existing from bottom up? Please compare them to any video you have and show how it is the same as your video. I can post many more if you like.

All of the videos you provided are from less than reputable sources.  Some of them are altered and it is readily apparent that they are. 

Ever think to look at videos of sunsets from neutral sources? 

And, are you saying none of the videos I presented show a Sun getting smaller in appearence at sunset?  None of them?

I don't trust any of the videos you've posted.  You don't find it problematic that every video you've picked is from a channel that supports FE?  You didn't think to maybe, just maybe pick something from a channel that doesn't care if the Earth is a ball or a pancake?  Like this one, for example:



This is just a person with a drone and a love for beautiful locales.  No motivation to prove anything.  It also shows the entire sunset.  Notice that the sunburst diminishes as the sun sets, but the size of the sun doesn't change.  If you have the correct equipment, you'll notice that the size doesn't change, at all.

(https://flatearth.ws/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/sunset-solar-filter-768x768.jpg)



And, show me one or more that matches your sunsets.

Thanks!

What do you mean, matches my sunsets?  The GIF provided earlier is what we should expect if the world is flat.  I've only just now provided support for how the sun actually sets.  Plat, you're desperately confused about how the world works.  You keep moving goal posts every time an argument is presented you can't handle.  I see you've moved on from Eratosthenes, why is that?  You seemed hard set that we were wrong and you weren't, where's the bravado now? 

We've gone over Sigma Octantis, and you were proven wrong there.  We've gone over Eratosthenes, and you were proven wrong again.  Now we are discussing sunsets, and you're going to lose here too.  Did you ever stop to wonder why you keep losing ground?  It isn't because we are better at arguing the points; it is due entirely to the strength of the points presented.  FE loses because it doesn't make sense.  There are too many paradoxes, too many logical inconsistencies, and too much dependency on crap that is logically impossible.  Stop for a second and take inventory of what is required for FE to be true:

-Abandonment of all modern physics
-Abandonment of critical thinking
-Abandonment of mathematics
-Abandonment of academics

This all leads, ultimately, to an abandonment of truth.  I don't take this lightly.  Everything we've accomplished to this point in human history is dependent on a succession of exploration, experimentation, and meticulous record keeping.  The computers we are sitting here arguing with each other on are based on the same science you say is wrong.  When we travel to other countries, or buy stuff from halfway around the world, that process is managed using technology based on a world that is a sphere.  Why does it work if your claim is true?  Did you ever stop to think about that?  How do planes get to their far off destinations?  How does GPS work if the world is flat?  How does satellite communication work if the world is flat? 

They work because the world isn't flat.

It seemed to fade away because all the videos that I watched, except for C-zars, because your photographers are totally ignorant about photographing the sun!

C-zar seems fairly competent but his has an inferior mirage distorting the apparent location of the horizon.

Because the sun is so bright that when higher in the sky the glare from the sun makes it seem far larger than it really is.

Wow, the light gets darker at the end of the tunnel, yet they're the same wattage.  Imagine that. How can that be? I bet if that tunnel was just 400 feet long it would be dark at the end with the lights on all the way to the end.  We might see a bit of twilight, don't you think?

How can this be related to a Sunset looking through thousands of miles of atmosphere?

Your model only has one point of science, an object gets smaller as distance increases.
No it doesn't.
It also includes the angular position becoming lower as the altitude appears smaller as it gets further away.
But notice how it still remains quite high in the sky, unlike reality where it drops below the horizon?

We don’t ignore your evidence of a Sun exiting from bottom up
You certainly seem to, and when you don't you just deflect.
FE has no explanation for it which doesn't appeal to pure fantasy.

but you ignore our evidence of a Sun getting smaller and fading away, why?
No we don't, as no one has been able to provide such evidence.
If you wish to claim such evidence exists which is being ignored, then provide it. But none of your videos you linked contains that.

Instead, all that FEers have been able to provide akin to that is the amount of glare changing.
No one has been able to provide clear images of the sun with it appearing to shrink.

This is also why I say the moon is so much better. As it is far less bright and has clear surface features it is quite easy to resolve and doesn't have the issue of glare.

So you agree the sun faded away above the horizon in our videos and did not exit from bottom up like in your beloved photos? Correct?
No your videos did not show "the sun fade away above the horizon"!

It seemed to fade away because all the videos that I watched, except for C-zars, because your photographers are totally ignorant about photographing the sun!

C-zar seems fairly competent but his has an inferior mirage distorting the apparent location of the horizon.

Because the sun is so bright that when higher in the sky the glare from the sun makes it seem far larger than it really is.

But you refuse to take the slightest notice of anything said and if you ever hope to convince anybody you'd better change you attitude!

The Dunning-Kruger Syndrome is strong in this one along with an incurable case of Confirmation Bias!

 In the videos I posted did the Sun exit from bottom up like in your beloved photos and videos?

Knowledge, my own observation and common sense. Don't you and I live in and breathe the same layer of atmosphere? Isn’t the atmosphere dense with water vapor, rain, fog, and smog?  I live in the USA, how far away do you live?

In the videos I posted did the Sun exit from bottom up like in your beloved photos and videos?

BTW, dense atmosphere is a part of the FE model. You, know, that density that blocks light and what you call rubbish.

But until you admit that the sun and moon do not change in angular over a day or night we're done here!
Sure, the sun can appear to shrink when you are looking at the glare but if you are relying on that you are only deceiving yourself!

A  graph can't prove anything!
Get outside and watch a real moonrise or moonset or get a suitable filter and see for yourself  what the real sun does.

Near sunset you can safely look at and photograph the sun. Go and look at and learn to use a good camera and photograph it yourself.

This sort of thing! A couple of stills of the sun setting over the ocean at Weipa in Queensland:

We're up to 60 pages of you moving goalposts, Plat.  You have yet to prove any point you've made.  The sunset deal is yet another goalpost.  It started with proving elevation on a curved surface.  Then we saw you go on a NASA tangent, then the Suez canal, objects obscured by the horizon, Sigma Octantis, and now sunrises/sunsets - Each and every time you are debunked and your response:

Toss out a meme and move to another topic.

You’re not stupid, you know exactly what I mean. “Does it appear to darken from bottom up like in your beloved videos and pictures.”  No it doesn’t.

This Earth has various types of sunsets and only one fits your theory and the others don’t. You know, the ones you cherry pick and reject and say this one proves Earth is a sphere.  We accept them all and study them and learn and don’t say your chosen one is fake and try to explain it away. We have no reason to do so.  We know the Earth is a Plane without the issue of sunsets. I know why it appears to go over a curve and hope to articulate it soon.

What really ticks me off,  is most of what your guys claim as actually proof of a sphere is really inconclusive and you know it, but you push it anyway as absolute truth. This is so deceitful, shameful, unethical and intellectually dishonest.  And it goes on with NASA’s lies you guys defend. You can tell they fake videos but can’t admit it because you can’t stand to be wrong on this issue and don’t want to lose. And so on…………………………

They might appear different because of different atmospheric condition such as clouds, heat haze, and mirages but that is simply their appearance.

     The real earth can have no edges that cannot be crossed. I've mentioned this but you ignore it.
     The paths of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars cannot be reconciled with a flat earth.
     The Sun, Moon, planets and stars cannot be close, as a few thousand kilometres above the earth. I've raised this but you ignore it.
Etc, etc.

Not so! THE TRUTH is a flat earther's claim as you proved with your "We know the Earth is a Plane".

ALL we claim is that there is far more evidence than needed to claim that the Earth is a Globe beyond any reasonable doubt.

See Plat, you've got it in reverse again, you need to flip the script. It's as simple as this:

Globe Earth can quite handily explain this observation, Rab and others already did:



However, FE cannot explain this observation to save its life:



FE has no adequate explanation for how a 3000 mile high, 32 mile wide sun does not shrink down to a pinpoint as it recedes from the viewer. FE cannot explain how the non-shrinking sun slips down smoothly below the horizon only to pop up behind you in reverse fashion some 12 or so hours later, like clockwork, literally, every day for every person on earth.

- Globe Earth can explain any and all sunset observations
- Flat earth cannot

Simple as that.

You don't like responding to my posts, do you, plat? Do my posts terrorise you?

Nobody here is interested in your sunset photos  or videos where there is heavy cloud, fog, dust, or other atmospheric phenomenon between the viewer and the sun. We are are talking about clear sky sunsets and sunrises. Clear sky sunsets and sunrises particularly over the ocean, that clearly show what is occurring at the horizon and with the sun.

Rabinoz can corroborate me on this. I look up in the sky this afternoon, and the sun is at 10 O'clock and the crescent moon at 2 o'clock. How can the sun and moon co-exist together in the daytime sky at such close proximity on your flat earth model?

I agree you've schooled us all with the fantastical mindset and educational level of the average flat earther, plat, and how radicalisation works. In that regards it has been educational, and I'm grateful. But, don't for a second think you've schooled anyone here on what is real in regards to this planet. You have racked up 60 forum pages of debate loss, one after the next.

No, it isn't. Not after you get to any significant height.
The FE sun is only meant to be 5000 km high. Even with it setting 10 000 km away, it will only pass through a very insignificant amount of atmosphere.

And again, we know that isn't the issue, because we can still see it clearly on the horizon.
But yes, it should be a massive issue for FE, with the horizon not existing and instead just having a blur as the atmosphere scatters all the light.

So another nail in the coffin of FE.

I'm not a Flat Earth expert. But I am proof that someone with a high school education can school you guys with degrees of education because your belief is a fallacy. That doesn't really look good for you and your theory, does it?
You mean you are proof that any idiot can come along and spout a load of garbage and repeatedly have their ass handed to them, yet still ignore it all and pretend they have defeated the RE.

You are yet to show a single problem with the reality of a RE and you are yet to defend the idea of a FE from the many problems with it.
But you keep sticking to your delusions of grandeur.

Wow so much i missed.
But i ll pick on this one as i see it was overlooked (unless i missed that too).

Wattage is a power.
You need to learn your units.
Power from the source will leave the source and expand out.
That power is then divided by the surface area of the spread pattern.
The light at the tunnel entrance is coming in at all angles.
You standing there gets the brunt.
You standing waaaay back only see the few rays that flew straight to your eye.
All other rays were at funny angles that ended up hitting the walls.

A Sunrise and Sunset would look the same on FE and RE Earth. Neither one would prove Earth's shape. For FE, you just have to understand the science involved with perspective.  Will post a graph later.

Except, and this is becoming a trend, you're wrong:

(https://www.metabunk.org/sk/sun-size-flat-earth-model-southern-hemisphere.gif)

There is no "science involved with perspective" when it comes to these fundamental problems with FE.  To give you an idea of how batshit crazy this notion is, a fairly talented programmer and blogger created an interactive model of the snow-globe variety flat Earth and demonstrates how absolutely bonkers light must behave in order for this lunacy to be true.  Take a look for yourself:

http://walter.bislins.ch/bloge/index.asp?page=flat+earth+dome+model


 
Your model only has one point of science, an object gets smaller as distance increases. List what else should be included.

And then please explain why we can also see the Sun get smaller and fade away above the horizon.

We can see your Sunset and we see our sunset. Conditions have to be right for both occurrences.  But it does not prove Earth is flat or a sphere.
We don’t ignore your evidence of a Sun exiting from bottom up, but you ignore our evidence of a Sun getting smaller and fading away, why?

What do you mean "realistic"? The focal length of the eye is said to be around 22mm, but not sure if it can be measured quite like that.

But if it is that 22mm, then I guess a full frame (35mm) body with a similar lens would draw what the eye sees. At least aboutish.

So you can go thru the pics to look for such a photo.

EDIT: I was off:

"Our central angle of view — around 40-60° — is what most impacts our perception. Subjectively, this would correspond with the angle over which you could recall objects without moving your eyes. Incidentally, this is close to a 50 mm "normal" focal length lens on a full frame camera (43 mm to be precise), or a 27 mm focal length on a camera with a 1.6X crop factor."

Do you understand focal length, Plat?

Yes, I do.  So which one is more realistic?

Since they are all real, wouldn't they all be realistic?

No. As viewed in normal optics and distance.

What are the parameters of 'normal' for optics and distance?

And I see that yet again you have fled from a failed argument and a failed FE model which cannot explain a very common phenomenon which the RE explains with ease.

You aren't doing a very good job of showing problems with a RE as you are yet to show a single problem; nor are you doing a good job at defending a FE as you have left so many problems unresolved.

With FE defenders like you, is it really surprising we aren't all admitting defeat and switching sides?

Why does the radius of Earth keep changing as viewed for the alleged ISS?
We have been over this before. You go your ass handed to you and then ran away remember?

It looks different due to different lighting and different cameras.

No. As viewed in normal optics and distance.
Define "normal", for both optics and distance. Especially as "Normal distance" for Earth would only be a few m above it, not 400 km.

Then why don't you do the math yourself?

Remember, this is a thread where you are trying to defeat the RE model.

And where is the picture?
It is impossible to capture a picture to render on a flat monitor which properly depicts what the human eye sees.
This is because the human eye sees with 2 angular dimensions, i.e. as a sphere, rather than with 2 Cartesian directions like a flat monitor.
In order to do it properly you would need to render the image onto a curved surface to invert the distortion of the camera and then view it from the centre of that image, and you could hypothetically do that with any camera/photo as long as you had all the relevant details.

NASA has no consistency with their pictures.
No, there is plenty of consistency, just not when you compare it between vastly different cameras.
But why should their be that consistency between different cameras? They are for different purposes.
Do you complain in general that people use different cameras with different settings rather than just always taking pictures with the exact same settings?

Unfortunately that question isn't as straightforward as you might think it should be.  It helps to understand the difference between how the human eye and cameras work.  This link might help:
Quote from: https://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/cameras-vs-human-eye.htm
Why can't I just point my camera at what I'm seeing and record that? It's a seemingly simple question. It's also one of the most complicated to answer, and requires delving into not only how a camera records light, but also how and why our eyes work the way they do.

I get that NASA might want to use a lens that has a slight distortion to capture a wide field of view. To capture as much picture as they can. A fish eye lens can capture more image then a flat lens could but the fish eye lens isn't really telling you the truth. Just walk into a house you want to buy that looked really spacious on the photo but quite small in reality.

Surely Photoshop or others can correct the distortion but keep the pretty picture?

You just did "post" TWO pictures "of what Earth’s horizon actually looks like as viewed for the ISS"!
The left photo was taken with a close to "normal lens" (maybe 40 mm focal length) but the second with a much wider angle lens, I'd guess about 20 mm.

But why you have to ask the same question over and over again even when it already has been answered?
Ask them why, Earth’s shape is never uniform. Why?
We don't have to "Ask them why Earth’s shape is never uniform" because the Earth’s shape is quite uniform!

The curve of the horizon depends on the field-of-view.
Sometimes might be distorted by the barrel distortion common on very wide-angle lenses or severely distorted by 180° fish-eye lenses!

Recently, in a Space Station Live stream, American astronaut Jeff Williams received the question again and went into some detail on the equipment they use on the ISS.
Known for the high level of detail they can capture, wide dynamic range, and high ISO performance, NASA’s weapon of choice today is the Nikon D4, of which the ISS houses several, along with a wide selection of Nikon lenses, including the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR shown the above photo.


Space Station Live: Williams Talks Candidly about Cameras
NASA range of lenses includes everything from super wide angle, to “several” of the massive Nikon 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR, which becomes 1120mm equivalent when used with the Nikon AF-S FX TC-14E III 1.4x Teleconverter.

I talked with a couple Optics Manufacturing Specialist today about the photos of Earth taken from the alleged ISS. Both were happy to help with my concerns, and both found that what I had to say and questions interesting.  One in particular said, “Iv’ not seen that before, I have Google ready”, after I said NASA’s has pictures of Earth without any curve. He found the pictures and was speechless for a few moments.  I asked, how can a curved surface display such a straight horizon in a picture? He was still speechless. I asked again, and he said “it can’t.”

I also learned that only a horizontal line will bow (distortion) perfectly to a concave shape or convex shape. But a curved line cannot distort to a straight line or convex to a perfect round line, but will become compressed and warp.

The reason for some of NASA’s pictures not having the same curvature at the same distance has to do with the intentional position of the camera at such an angle that distorts the horizon to a convex shape they choose.  They cherry pick the angle of the camera to make it appear Earth is curved when it’s clearly not and never get the angle quite right to match all pictures.

So all the videos using a fisheye lens, showing the horizon with a perfect horizon in a still shot belong to a horizontal line and not a curved line. So again, yes NASA fakes pictures of Earth by tilting the camera containing a fisheye lens.   

It makes me wonder if someone has been leaking real pictures or they posted by mistake. Either way these pictures do not belong to a curved Earth. The science of optics is the proof. And no, I don’t believe these pics were taken from some micro G environment. The ISS is not what they say it is.

From the link you posted.

1) Optical Distortion
In photography, distortion is generally referred to an optical aberration that deforms and bends physically straight lines and makes them appear curvy in images, which is why such distortion is also commonly referred to as “curvilinear” (more on this below).

1.1) Barrel Distortion
When straight lines are curved inwards in a shape of a barrel, this type of aberration is called “barrel distortion”. Commonly seen on wide angle lenses, barrel distortion happens because the field of view of the lens is much wider than the size of the image sensor and hence it needs to be “squeezed” to fit. As a result, straight lines are visibly curved inwards, especially towards the extreme edges of the frame. Here is an example of strong barrel distortion:

1.2) Pincushion Distortion
Pincushion distortion is the exact opposite of barrel distortion – straight lines are curved outwards from the center. This type of distortion is commonly seen on telephoto lenses, and it occurs due to image magnification increasing towards the edges of the frame from the optical axis. This time, the field of view is smaller than the size of the image sensor and it thus needs to be “stretched” to fit. As a result, straight lines appear to be pulled upwards in the corners, as seen below:

1.3) Mustache Distortion
The nastiest of the radial distortion types is mustache distortion, which I sometimes call “wavy” distortion. It is basically a combination of the barrel distortion and pincushion distortion. Straight lines appear curved inwards towards the center of the frame, then curve outwards at the extreme corners, as shown below:

Picture A - There are no pictures of ISS flying over the surface of this Earth.

Picture B - There are tons of pictures with ISS flying over this warped surface.

But what about distance to the horizon and width of the horizon?

This is the curvature at 70,000'. Now add 250 miles.

This kind of presumes NASA is using a fish eye lens in some images to exaggerate the curve of the earth so that they can prove the curve of the earth. Which I don't think they really care about. But yeah, you can take any one of their images into PS and apply any sort of lens distortion or otherwise to it.

I'm just wanting to know how much curvature (arc) should be visible when viewed from the ISS with a human eye. And where is the picture? What wrong with that?  NASA has no consistency with their pictures.

There will be one degree per 60 nautical miles.
Now scale it to camera angle and image size.
But what about distance to the horizon and width of the horizon?
Can't you do anything for yourself?

From the ISS height the horizon would be around 2300 km away and the "width of the horizon" is meaningless without the field-of-view.

Quote from: Plat Terra
This is the curvature at 70,000'. Now add 250 miles.

Where did you drag that useless image from?
Whatever it is, it's meaningless without knowing either the field-of-view in degrees or that camera focal length.

No, why would it?
The earth is like a massive top spinning in a near perfect vacuum that causes almost negligible friction.
And like a top it is tilted (at about 23.5° to the "ecliptic") and precesses very slowly with a period of approximately 25,772 years.

There is a very slight drag due to the tidal effects of the moon making the average day about 20 millionths of a second longer every year.

Not enough to bother any but the fussiest clock-watchers ;).

No, but it is a topic that's been carefully studied for many centuries because until very recently the earth's period of rotation has been our time reference.

I talked with a couple Optics Manufacturing Specialist today about the photos of Earth taken from the alleged ISS. Both were happy to help with my concerns, and both found that what I had to say and questions interesting.  One in particular said, “Iv’ not seen that before, I have Google ready”, after I said NASA’s has pictures of Earth without any curve. He found the pictures and was speechless for a few moments.  I asked, how can a curved surface display such a straight horizon in a picture? He was still speechless. I asked again, and he said “it can’t.”

I also learned that only a horizontal line will bow (distortion) perfectly to a concave shape or convex shape. But a curved line cannot distort to a straight line or convex to a perfect round line, but will become compressed and warp.
And more lies from Plat.
It is quite easy for a round horizon to appear straight.
One simple option is to only focus on a small portion of the horizon, then with such a small curve it will appear straight.
Another is with a fish eye lens which curves the horizon in the opposite direction.

If you wish to claim it is impossible, then provide valid references or the math/simulation to support that claim.

But again, I will skip that and just post the refutation even more firmly.
This is a simulation from POV-Ray, of a round Earth, with a wide angle lens:
(https://i.imgur.com/wlzJOCq.gif)
Notice how before the model of Earth crosses the centre of the FOV it appears straight? Then as it exits with all of Earth above the centre of the FOV it again appears straight?

So I think I will stick with reality with a RE potentially appearing straight due to lens distortion.

Also note that this makes a video much better than a still image.
With a video you can analyse how the horizon appears in various positions relative to the centre of the FOV.
Assuming there is significant lens distortion which results in the horizon sometimes appearing curved, then:
for a hypothetical straight horizon the horizon would only appear straight when it is passing through the centre of the FOV. When the horizon is away from the centre of FOV it will appear curved;
for a round horizon (from the real round Earth), it will appear curved when passing through the centre of the FOV. If the Earth side of the horizon is closer to the centre of the FOV than the non-Earth side, then the curve will appear exaggerated. If the Earth side of the horizon is further from the centre of the FOV than the non-Earth side, then the curve will appear diminished, with one point resulting in a straight line and beyond that it will be inverted.

Also, if you bother looking closely enough, the picture you provided actually has a slight curve to the horizon, and as a reminder, the horizon shouldn't exist on a flat Earth.

In photography, distortion is generally referred to an optical aberration that deforms and bends physically straight lines and makes them appear curvy in images
Are you really planning on taking the full-stupid option of claiming only perfectly straight lines will be distorted and non-straight lines will magically not get distorted?

Picture A - There are no pictures of ISS flying over the surface of this Earth.
So are you saying it is a fake picture and not of the real Earth, because there are plenty of pictures of the ISS flying over the very real Earth we live on.

Which picture is best to use for selling the idea Earth is a sphere? A or B?
I prefer the pictures from EPIC.

It is clear NASA fakes pictures into a sphere and you defend the lies. Shame on you!
No, it is clear you are yet again lying about NASA so you can pretend that Earth is flat.
You are yet to provide a single reason to think NASA is lying or that Earth isn't round.

This is the curvature at 70,000'. Now add 250 miles.
For how much of the horizon? Notice that key part you left out?
Here is another image of the curvature at 70 000 archaic units (assuming yours was correct):
(https://i.imgur.com/3R8G4P1.png)
Doesn't really look like much does it?

Also, if you are using Pythagoras like that, you are doing it wrong. That is for a great circle, which is only going to be visible from infinitely far away.
At other times, the horizon will be hiding that great circle.
You need to use much more complex math which is based upon the camera's FOV and the position of the object.

Next……
So you abandon yet another nonsense claim and flee to another.

Surly after so many years maintenance needs to be done to keep earths spin smooth, right?
Why should it?
Are you again referring to mechanical devices like those that use bearings?
Earth doesn't have bearings which wear out and need lubrication or maintenance.

No, not really like if you take a panoramic or 360 degree picture.
With those you only span over 1 angular dimension, keeping the other fairly constant. This is quite easy as you are just unrolling a cylinder and thus don't have serious issues with distortion. Geometrically that cylindrical surface is flat, i.e. has no Gaussian curvature.

With a fish eye lens you span over 2 angular dimensions, and thus will introduce distortions.

But that is ignoring the key issue, the issue was trying to make it appear as it does normally. A panoramic view doesn't show you how something normally looks.

The best you can do with either is cut out a section of it and make that look like it would "normally" look.
The other option is to project it onto a curved surface instead of a flat one.

The reason for some of NASA’s pictures not having the same curvature at the same distance has to do with the intentional position of the camera at such an angle that distorts the horizon to a convex shape they choose.  They cherry pick the angle of the camera to make it appear Earth is curved when it’s clearly not and never get the angle quite right to match all pictures.

So all the videos using a fisheye lens, showing the horizon with a perfect horizon in a still shot belong to a horizontal line and not a curved line. So again, yes NASA fakes pictures of Earth by tilting the camera containing a fisheye lens.   

It makes me wonder if someone has been leaking real pictures or they posted by mistake. Either way these pictures do not belong to a curved Earth. The science of optics is the proof. And no, I don’t believe these pics were taken from some micro G environment. The ISS is not what they say it is.

Nobody believes to talked to any "Optics Manufacturing Specialists". You mean you watched some flat Earth videos making claims they couldn't back up. Failed appeal to authority. And ended with a lie. The horizon at ground level SHOULD appear flat and straight.

I also learned that only a horizontal line will bow (distortion) perfectly to a concave shape or convex shape. But a curved line cannot distort to a straight line or convex to a perfect round line, but will become compressed and warp.
Another lie.

More lies. For the horizon to show what you claim it would have to ALWAYS be above the center of the image. It is not. Also, many pics are NOT using fish eye lenses as noted with the lack of distortion on foreground objects. Yet another fail from Plat Terra.

There's no such thing as a flat earth map. All of the "maps" used as flat earth models are globe projections. Even Gleason, in his patent filing of his map said so:

"The extorsion of the map from that of a globe consists, mainly in the straightening out of the meridian lines allowing each to retain their original value from Greenwich, the equator to the two poles."

An I see you have abandoned ship once again.
Like I said, each time you ditch an argument rather than dealing with all the problems with it, it just further shows how desperate you are and how you have no backing for any of your insane claims.
With FE proponents like you, why would any sane REer admit defeat?

Some can’t stand the idea a Plane Earth Map was actually made and is accurate, but it’s true.
No, it is not true. It is a blatant lie pushed by FEers to pretend they have a map, meanwhile they also claim that every FE map presetned is just an example whenever a problem with it is pointed out.

Gleason never produced a FE map. They produced a PROJECTION! Do you understand that? It is literally written on the projection.
It is not a FE map. It has the same issues of distortion of mapping a round surface onto a flat one. It is an azimuthal equidistant projection.
Near the north pole it is reasonably accurate, but it is horribly distorted in the south. For example, it massively stretches Australia.

So no, it is not an accurate FE map.

Yes, maps are based upon a globe. This is even shown with the reference to latitude and longitude. Latitude makes no sense as an angular measurement for a FE, as there is no angle for it to measure, but makes perfect sense on a RE.

How many times are you going to assert crap like this?  You couldn't solve the Southern Cross paradox; therefore the FE map has failed.  Let me add a log to that fire:

A popular rebuttal to the FE map is the infamous Santiago, Chile to Sydney, Australia flight offered by Qantas.  This flight does not work on the Gleason map.  It is a real flight, offered almost daily (in both directions), and has an approximate time in flight of around 12 hours.  If the Earth is flat, these commercial, non-military aircraft would need to be capable of supersonic flight and have fuel capacities beyond what those airframes are known to possess.  In other words, they are not possible on a flat Earth.

Some can’t stand the idea a Plane Earth Map was actually made and is accurate, but it’s true. They want all to believe all maps were made with a Globe in mind, but they lie and push more fantasy. If you would like to learn how to understand and use Gleason’s Flat Earth map please have a look the following video.

How many times are you going to assert crap like this?  You couldn't solve the Southern Cross paradox; therefore the FE map has failed.  Let me add a log to that fire:

Which of your already debunked notions are we to entertain now?

- Canals/Curvature
- Shadows/Eratosthenes
- NASA/ISS
- Sunsets
- Gravity
- Constellations
- Maps

Did I miss any? All have been refuted, so should we just keep cycling through them?

We have already been over this. You have a false dichotomy.
You leave out 2 other options:
3 - The tide changes the water level, changing how much is obscured.
4 - The curvature of would block the view, but the variable refraction will allow varying amounts to be seen.

Now how about you answer some simple commonsense questions:
The sun appears to set and casts light and shadows upwards because:
1 - It is below you (i.e. in Cartesian coordinates with the +z axis being up for you, with you at a position of z=0, the sun is has a negative z coordinate), or:
2 - The sun is really above you, but pure magic makes it appear below you.

There are 2 celestial poles always 180 degrees apart because:
1- Earth is round, with a north and south pole, which align with the axis of rotation. The celestial poles are an extension of that axis to the celestial sphere, an imaginary sphere at infinite distance which the stars are projected onto.
2 - Earth is flat, but in complete defiance of all known laws regarding it, it magically results in 2 straight lines intersecting twice after some finite distance.

Why are you afraid to post your crap directly in this thread?

the answer is neither. The first picture has more refraction which you can tell both by the time of day when the water would have been cooler and by the temperature listed on the graphic you posted which shows the air temp cooler as well. Plus it was shown before that the tide was higher later in the day. Yet another fail from Plat Terra.

Has FE ever offered an explanation? Wise knows the flight just does not exist, though not sure everyone thinks the same.

Accept defeat for what? Not believing in some nonsensical theory that the earth is flat when not even one single shred of evidence has been provided? Unbelievable.
When will RE Community Accept Defeat?

Both the coastlines of Atlantic and Pacific are at 0' Sea level and both are 3,962 miles from Earths alleged center.
The distance between Oceans with the Panama Canal in-between is about 36 Miles.
The center of Panama Canal is about 18 miles from the coast on Gatun Lake and is 85’ above each Ocean shoreline.
The drop in curvature at 18 miles is 216’.  That places Earth’s curvature at 216’ (3962 miles from center of Earth) feet above each coastline at center.
That also places Gatun Lake 131’ below Earths alleged 3962 mile radius marker.
That means if Earth were a Globe, the Panama Canal could not exist because Gatun Lake would be under 131’ of sea water at 18 miles from the Coast. The Canal exists because water does not curve.

It’s that simple, we won. We really never lost. Earth Remains a flat Plane with mountains, hills and valleys and sea level bodies of water.

But the real question is, when is the Globe community going to accept defeat?

NASA can't help them, fake pictures and fake moon landings cannot rescue them. 

No argument they have is going to magically make the oceans curve and flood the Panama Canal, no matter what they say or do.  It’s not going to happen.  After reading this if one continues to defend a Globe Earth theory, they are just professional deniers who really don’t care for truth.

We run at same speed and same lane around the track.
Rvlr is standing on roof lookibg down.
He sees only me because you are perfectly shadowing underneath me.
The only way for him to see you then is for you to move to an outter lane.
But you have to maintain my lap rate (not speed).
Now would you say it is accurate statement that you are running the same speed as me?

Since you are not smart, I will tell you the answer is no.
Your flat map projection balloons out the sothern hemisphere so that it can be visible as a flat projection.
Whcih is what everyone keeps telking you and you keep not understanding.

Another fail from Plat Terra on the meme thread

(https://i.imgur.com/QovwlcF.jpg)

Plat needs to look into the difference between a solar day and a sidereal day. The Earth actually turns 360 degrees in 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds. That is a sidereal day, relative to the stars. But in that time it has gone a little bit around the Sun and it takes the full 24 hours to turn enough to face the Sun again. That difference over 6 months adds up to about 12 hours. So there is no problem except yet more proof that Plat Terra doesn't understand the subject.

It is quite easy to just post a bunch of numbers with no explanations and just magically have it work.

For example, you can just pick an arbitrary scale to force it to work.
You also seem to have cut off a very large section of it. Is that because it shows what you need to have it work rather than reality?

From the angle shown of 21.25 degrees, it seems like they are trying to use almost correct math, but they have a few major flaws. First, that angle isn't correct. It should be 20.94 degrees.
More importantly, Sydney is further south than Santiago, yet they show it to the north.

And even more importantly, if this map was accurate, you wouldn't need to do this math at all. Instead all you would need to do is measure the distance on the map and use a scale to convert it.

Lets see what we get when using this:
https://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth:7h149v85z
Note: I downloaded the master (full resolution, uncompressed).
Sydney has a position of (1295, 2802).
Santiago has a position of (2776, 4572).
This means they are 2308 px apart.

Now I would like to just go down and use the scale, but they don't have a scale as it isn't a flat map so the scale would be useless. So instead I will use the distance from the equator to the north pole, which is a distance of 5400 nautical miles.
The north pole has a y coordinate of 3407, the equator at its lowest is 4307. That makes 5400 nautical miles equate to 900 px.
That means 1 px is 6 nautical miles.
That means the distance between Sydney and Santiago, based upon the false claim of this being a flat map of a flat Earth is 13836 nautical miles.
That is 25624 km, nothing like reality.

So you still have big problems.
Now we can instead lie and force this distance to be correct.
To get your quoted 6319 nautical miles, all we need to do is reduce the scale, by a factor of roughly 2, closer to 2.19.
So if we pretend that 1 px is only 2.74 nautical miles then we get the distance to be 6324 nautical miles, close enough to the real value to pretend it is fine. The problem is that this changes the scale everywhere. That means the distance between the north pole and the equator shrinks to a tiny 2466 nautical miles, completely defying the original definition of a nautical mile, that of 1 arc minute of latitude.

So no, this does not get the distance correct. You have massive problems with this map. It is another blatant lie from dishonest FEers that have no concern for the truth and just want to pretend their flat fantasy works.

Many in the Globe community disagree with you. Learn from them and report back.
As a flat map of a flat Earth it is massively inaccurate.
As a projection of the globe, with known distortions and changing scale it is accurate.

Please take the second picture, draw a box the size of a football field to scale in relation to the size of Florida in the picture and as viewed from the alleged ISS. Let's really see if you can see it with the naked eye.
You mean something like this (note: I haven't bothered checking the scale and instead just gave the worst case scenario, based upon the limit of resolution of the camera, and remember, this is naked eye, not well resolved with binoculars):
(https://i.imgur.com/pmbo5fk.png)

Can you see the white dot?
I sure can.

As for doing it all properly, that is dependent upon the resolution available, and that image does not do the human eye justice. The human eye has a resolution of roughly 1 arc minute. That image has a width of 535 px. If that was the same as the human eye, then that equates to a FOV of ~9 degrees, much less than the actual FOV of humans and much less than the actual FOV of that camera.
So if you want a comparison with the naked eye, don't use such a crappy image.

Another fail from Plat Terra on the meme thread

(https://i.imgur.com/QovwlcF.jpg)

Plat needs to look into the difference between a solar day and a sidereal day. The Earth actually turns 360 degrees in 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds. That is a sidereal day, relative to the stars. But in that time it has gone a little bit around the Sun and it takes the full 24 hours to turn enough to face the Sun again. That difference over 6 months adds up to about 12 hours. So there is no problem except yet more proof that Plat Terra doesn't understand the subject.

I do understand that every time there is a problem with your theory, you guys have to make up more convoluted crap to protect your already beloved convoluted theory.

A sidereal time is irrelevant to the movement of the Sun.  If a sidereal days actually existed then we would have 366 sunrises is a 365 day year.

You mean we all understand that as you are completely incapable of showing any problem with the reality of a RE you need to invent a pathetic strawman and attack that instead because you know you stand no chance at attacking the real thing.

The question of the Sidereal day was raised when people were decided if we had a geocentric or heliocentric solar system/universe.
Under the simple GC system, the Earth was completely stationary with the celestial sphere taking roughly 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds to complete a revolution around Earth, with the sun tracing a path on the celestial sphere over the course of ~365.2425 days.
With a variant, the sun still traced a path on the celestial sphere, but Earth rotated instead.
With the HC system, the Earth rotates once every 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4 seconds while orbiting the sun.
And due to the eccentricity of Earth's orbit and its axial tilt, the sun doesn't even line up perfectly every 24 hours.

It isn't a problem at all. It is just you lying about how it works.


A sidereal day is irrelevant to the movement of the Sun.  If a sidereal days actually existed then we would have 366 sunrises is a 365 day year.
That is completely the wrong way around.
We have 365 sun rises in a 366 sidereal day year.
If you were on Venus it would be like that due to the opposite direction of rotation.

As Earth rotates in the same direction it orbits the sun, after one revolution it needs to turn a little bit more to face the sun again as it has moved along its orbit. This means over the period of a year, we lose a day. So 366.2425 revolutions or sidereal days is only 365.2425 mean solar days.

So you can't even get that right.

And this is quite easily verifiable. A laser ring gyroscope can measure the length of a Sidereal day, and you can also use the stars. After 1 sidereal day the stars will be in the same position (ignoring parallax and aberration).
After 1 solar day, the sun will be in the same position (so after 1 average solar day, the sun will be in roughly the same position).
So you can go and test this yourself.
Go and observe the position of stars over a night. Then try again in a 30 sidereal days, and again and so on. Making sure you use the same sidereal time, not solar time.
You will observe that all bar the sun appears in roughly the same place.

If you were able to see a star rise year round, then you would also be able to use something similar to your nonsense assertion. With the very real existence of the sidereal day you would be able to see the star rise 366 times in 365 days.

Or you can go and use a laser ring gyroscope and actually measure it.

Are you refuting the leap year and seriously claiming the rotation of earth perfectly matches the orbit of the sun?

Keep on misgeneralizing cuz im pretty sure your side has convoluted explanations that all end up in nasa conspiracy.

Is earth a disc or inf plane? - fe answer yes.
How does the sun hide behind atmosphere yet stars can be seen on horizon? - fe answer perspective.
How close is the sun?  - Fe answer its pretty close.

Why cant we trust nasa?  - FE answer is because conspiracy of stone masons spanning 1000s of years and 1M of people.

and you only continue to prove you don't understand the subject. Nothing has been made up. Sidereal days have been known about long before flatties ever first misunderstood the subject thinking there should be a problem.

A sidereal day is the rotation relative to the stars. A solar day, which is what accounts for sunrises, is relative to the sun. There is no reason the very real sidereal day should mean there should be 366 sunrises in a year. There are 365 solar days in a year. You DO see the stars rotate 366 times a year as the stars move a little bit each day accounting for the difference you see throughout the year. You are wrong yet again. Thanks for the humor.

The thing you are describing happens.

It happens with the other stars, and constellations.

Ever heard of Summer Triangle?
Or Winter Hexagon?

Different constelations are visible in the summer night and different in the winter night.
That is because the night side of the Earth in winter faces Orion on one side, and in summer faces Hercules on the other side.

If you would like to learn how to understand and use Gleason’s Flat Earth map please have a look the following video.

In 1893, Gleason published his flat Earth chrome "Is the Earth From Heaven” which gave many flat Earth proofs and explained his map.

"The extorsion of the map from that of a globe consists, mainly in the straightening out of the meridian lines allowing each to retain their original value from Greenwich, the equator to the two poles."

For the same reason most Flat Earthers use the AE Globe Projection North Pole centered map as their model; because they don't have a map or model. Much like you now.

Gleason is clear his map is a projection and says so. As well, the AE Globe Projection North Pole centered map predates Gleason's version by hundreds of years. Mercator used it to show the poles on his globe projection back in the 1500's.

What does it say up the top?
"On the projection of j.s. Christopher Modern College, Blackheath England" Then underneath it says, "Scientifically and practically correct" It is used by a university.

I can verify the shape of Australia on map is correct length ways but incorrect north and south ways.

The map is useful as a projection of our spherical Earth. That's why it works. Gleason new this.

Cool, but it was not new as a map. It got the patent because of the "time calculator", not the map itself. That map is an old AE globe projection, nothing new and every much a globe.

You don't need to do anything but put a ruler over the distances to see that the Sydney, Australia, to Santiago, Chile, to see that your 11,702 km is total fiction!

The Gleason Map is NOT an accurate Flat Earth and was never intended to be! It was patented as a Time Chart and not as a map!

You are being ID again and playing games.

The picture you posted with this post gives the miles from Sydney, Australia, to Santiago, Chile. Look again. 11702 KM

Your method of measuring is incorrect. That’s your problem and not mine.

We all know, you can't accept you're wrong again but have to express even more ID.

(https://i.imgur.com/kKfkgLs.jpg)

What is the correct way to measure it then? Please describe.

It's in the video I posted a couple  pages back. Here is is again. I cannot easily describe it. If you really want to know LEARN ABOUT IT through the video.



Hilarious. Your guy in the video is simply using the globe longitude and latitude to calculate the distance. He's not calculating the flat earth distance, he's calculating the spherical earth distance like everyone else in the world does.

You really have to be joking, right?

The Gleason's map was patented a NEW STANDARD MAP OF THE WORLD and it says so right there on in the heading with the biggest letters, AND IT CAN BE USED AS A LONGITUDE TIME CACULATOR!

No, Mr Plat Terra, read the patent application!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
You might like to read: Gleason's Map (https://embracetheball.blogspot.com/2016/02/gleasons-map.html) and here is a little extract:
Quote
Well, we certainly know what he said on his US Patent application from 1895.  Here is Gleason's concept drawing as submitted:
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rsvz4pCdpPI/VrwGj9W9cfI/AAAAAAAADoo/XaJFwf9O5Fk/s1600/GleasonDwg.png)
You can read the entire patent, which describes the map's use as a time calculator for students. But the most important passage from the flat-Earth standpoint is this:
          The map is not so extorted as to lose the relative latitude and longitude of any places on the land or sea, but retains all latitudes and longitudes of places agreeing with other recognized authors; and as the proper relations of continents and countries all stand in their relative position to each other, they are thus impressed upon the mind of the student. The extorsion of the map from that of a globe consists, mainly in the straightening out of the meridian lines allowing each to retain their original value from Greenwich, the equator to the two poles.
The use of "extorted" in the sense of "distorted" is interesting here, but the intent is clear; the map is not "as it is" (which I think may have been a slogan of the map's publisher), but a projection that preserves the positions with regard to longitude lines, but not the distances between them (distances between lines of latitude, however, are preserved). And note his phrasing "the equator to the two poles." A flat Earth does not have two poles.

From: Gleason's Map (https://embracetheball.blogspot.com/2016/02/gleasons-map.html)
Just note again that bit from the patent application: "The extorsion of the map from that of a globe consists, mainly in the straightening out of the meridian lines allowing each to retain their original value from Greenwich, the equator to the two poles."

Now please read the patent! Look at the heading:
Quote
A. GLEASON
TIME CHART

How much clearer could it be and it is an accurate projection of the Globe but it is NOT an accurate of a Flat Earth - even the distance around the equator would be 62,831 km when it really should be a little over 40,000 km!

Just face facts - the Gleason Map is NOT accurate as a Flat Earth map and wriggle and squirn as much as you like but that will not change that!

Cool, but it was not new as a map. It got the patent because of the "time calculator", not the map itself. That map is an old AE globe projection, nothing new and every much a globe.

Again. Tell me, how gullible and brainwashed does a Globe believer have to be, to believe a man that published a Flat Earth book also patented a Globe map a few months before? We know you can’t openly admit you have been brainwashed.

And you don’t know what was going through the mind of Gleason when he penned those words in his patent.

What's the point you're trying to make? Yeah, that's how the sun moves on an AE globe projection map. No mystery there. It's still a globe projection map, first rendered 100's of years earlier. If he made an AE South pole centered globe projection map that box would read exactly the same except the dates would be changed and where he put South would then be North. Still a globe projection map.

And Gleason says so in his patent filing:

"The extorsion of the map from that of a globe consists, mainly in the straightening out of the meridian lines allowing each to retain their original value from Greenwich, the equator to the two poles."

So I know it's hard to hear, but the Gleason map is nothing more than a globe projection and that's the fact Jack. No matter how much you wish it to be something that it's not doesn't change the facts. And it's becoming increasingly bizarre that you are so defending a globe map when I thought you were a flat earther.

There is no Globe, Jack!  So it's not possible for it to be Globe projection. As time passed your guys took original established maps of Flat Earther's and made a Globe from that. Gleason corrected it through extortion, mainly in the straightening out of the meridian lines allowing each to retain their original value from Greenwich. It was not correct in Globe form and couldn't be anyway because it's not a damn sphere.  Your forefathers were deceitful thieves and  hijacked the established the work of flat Earther's, and made it into a sphere.

Yet, it is a globe projection.

It's just another world map variation. This one offers to quickly and easily show where the sun is overhead at midday, exactly where on the other side of the planet, it is experiencing midnight. I like it! It is correct in globe form, Gleason just straightened out those curved meridian lines.

I have family in different countries overseas, (on the other side of the globe from me) so now with my pocket gleason's map, I can be well assured when I phone them, I'm not waking them up at 3am!  :D

Great as a timepiece but utterly useless as a travelling map. The gleason's map would have you believe cape york peninsula in the Northern tip of Australia, is only about 400km from Melbourne, when in reality, it is close to 4,000km. Slightly incorrect by only 3,600km, wouldn't you agree, plat tera?

If you want flat earthers to study this video, I agree, it would be valuable if they wanted to learn how to navigate on a globe.

You see the fellow in the video is using globe based coordinates on a globe projection map and thereby coming out with globe distances. It's really quite brilliant. You're now not only fighting for a globe map, but you're also fighting for the way to navigate a globe.

Tell me some more lies.

What's the point you're trying to make? Yeah, that's how the sun moves on an AE globe projection map. No mystery there. It's still a globe projection map, first rendered 100's of years earlier. If he made an AE South pole centered globe projection map that box would read exactly the same except the dates would be changed and where he put South would then be North. Still a globe projection map.

And Gleason says so in his patent filing:

"The extorsion of the map from that of a globe consists, mainly in the straightening out of the meridian lines allowing each to retain their original value from Greenwich, the equator to the two poles."

So I know it's hard to hear, but the Gleason map is nothing more than a globe projection and that's the fact Jack. No matter how much you wish it to be something that it's not doesn't change the facts. And it's becoming increasingly bizarre that you are so defending a globe map when I thought you were a flat earther.

There is no Globe, Jack!  So it's not possible for it to be Globe projection. As time passed your guys took original established maps of Flat Earther's and made a Globe from that. Gleason corrected it through extortion, mainly in the straightening out of the meridian lines allowing each to retain their original value from Greenwich. It was not correct in Globe form and couldn't be anyway because it's not a damn sphere.  Your forefathers were deceitful thieves and  hijacked the established the work of flat Earther's, and made it into a sphere. That's not something to be proud of and that’s where your maps come from.  And you're still being schooled.

Your zero evidence rant still doesn't change the fact that the Gleason map is simply an AE globe projection - A globe projection that had been kicking around centuries before Gleason came along.

You're actually embarrassing yourself to claim otherwise and ironically defending a globe map.

There is no honor among thieves and those who defend them.

Flat Earth Maps existed long before your kind came along and stole our work. We don't believe your lies.

The gleason's map would have you believe cape york peninsula in the Northern tip of Australia, is only about 400km from Melbourne, when in reality, it is close to 4,000km. Slightly incorrect by only 3,600km, wouldn't you agree, plat tera?

No. That's what you would have us believe, because your honor the map of theives.

Learn how to measure between points A and B (from the following video) and show us your telling the truth with your work.

Any Flat Earther shoud study this video. It's an incredible piece of work and shows the secrets of Gleason’s Flat Earth Map.

He didn’t use a computer but measured by hand
That is pure BS.
Like I said, if he was just going to measure it, then there is no need at all for all that garbage.
You measure the distance on the map, and then apply the scale (if necessary by measuring a known distance).
Doing that physically, there is no need for any calculation.
The only reason I needed to do a calculation was because I used a digital photo and worked based upon the pixels.

But either way, unless you shrink the entire scale down to make the north tiny, it gets Sydney to Santiago completely wrong.

It is not an accurate map of a flat surface.

he estimated Santiago to be at 33° Latitude
So he estimated that Santiago was 33, and Sydney was 34, and thus further south, yet drew it further north? Sure.

You have some serious intellectually dishonesty problems.  Our map is accurate and you can’t stand it! Get’s some help.
Says the one that is completely ignoring arguments that demonstrate that they are completely wrong; the one who repeatedly resorts to lies, even in the very statement that follows a complaint about intellectual dishonesty.

You don't have an accurate map. You have absolutely nothing to support a FE, and absolutely nothing to refute a RE. You are just grasping at whatever straws and throwing whatever BS you can to pretend your flat fantasy works and that the real RE isn't real.

It's in the video I posted a couple  pages back. Here is is again. I cannot easily describe it. If you really want to know LEARN ABOUT IT through the video.
A crappy 1.5 hour long video? No thanks.
If it was actually a flat map of a flat Earth, all you would need to do is measure the distance and apply the scale. If you need more complex BS then it isn't a flat map.

Watching a bit, what he is saying is saying is pure BS.
He is claiming that travelling 1 degree east or west will be 60 nautical miles, regardless of where you are.

If your gleasons map were a "flat earth" map, a ruler should be all you need to work out distances. Instead, the drube in your video laughably uses the maths required to work out correct distances as they are on our sphere planet.

This is comedy central!

Do you own gleason's flat earth book, plat tera? I haven't read it, but it's easy to see he tries to justify his nonsense using quotes from the bible. I mean, the bible - written by dessert dwelling scribes who didn't even know how clouds were created. That's Gleason's authority.....

This is an individual who has been severely radicalized, that needs to prove everything to himself. If he doesn't prove it to his own satisfaction, then to him it is a deception.

What plat tera could do, is start travelling and creating a 3d map on his computer of the places he travels to, and the distance travelled. He could even do this using his gleasons world map.

The problem, is he would probably need to win the lottery to be able to afford so many trips. He could do it without winning lottery, but would take much longer.  Eventually, after he's been to enough places, his 3d model of plotted points will either continue to look like sprinkles on the top of a pancake, or it will start to resemble another shape.......

This is the standard of proof this one requires. The radicalisation is strong in this one, but with proper guidance there is still hope.....

So far, he has refused to answer questions like what is the distance between Miami and Boston. So I'm guessing he doesn't figure.

Apparently.

I loved how in the video the guy with the creepy surgical gloves tries to map a flight route from I think chile to australia and is showing how the plane must fly due north until it hits a latitude and like its a super highway with an on ramp, has to take a 90 degree turn and stick to the line.

No you didn't.
You showed a bit of a Gleason's Map (otherwise known as the North Polar Azimuthal Equdistant Projection of the Globe) that didn't even show Sydney.

Then you showed some numbers but with no hint of their source and claimed that the distance: S -> C = 11702 km.

Your "calculations" are worthless unless you show where your 6363.09 Nm came from and where you angles came from.

And especially so after I posted this:
One degree off has nothing to do with it! The distance from the North Pole to the Equator is 10,000 km so take a look at this:

You don't need to do anything but put a ruler over the distances to see that the Sydney, Australia, to Santiago, Chile, to see that your 11,702 km is total fiction!

Some can’t stand the idea a Plane Earth Map was actually made and is accurate, but it’s true. They want all to believe all maps were made with a Globe in mind, but they lie and push more fantasy. If you would like to learn how to understand and use Gleason’s Flat Earth map please have a look the following video.

The Gleason's Map (1892) - The Masterpiece of a Genius | Flat Earth

I watched some that video up to 15:55 where he claimed 60 NM per degree but there he shows his lack of any knowledge of maps etc!

One degree of latitude is almost exactly 60 Nm for all latitudes on both the Globe and the A E Projection.
But quite obviously one degree of longitude cannot possibly be 60 Nm for all latitudes! Just look at the Gleason Map or the Globe!

In the Globe, one degree of longitude is almost exactly 60 Nm at the equator but nowhere else - that "mile" is more properly called the Geographic Mile but is little used.

One final point is that if the Gleason's Map is a true flat earth map then approximate distances could be measured by scaling the map.
If you can't get nearly correct distances by scaling the map it is not an accurate FE map.

It was asked because you were citing distances of canals and such but wouldn't reveal how you acquired those distances. You wouldn't reveal your methodology for measuring any length between points A to B.

The ultimate question is whether you are using globe earth distances or not? And because you are, that's why you refused to answer the question b/c that would make you a hypocrite.

Yes, it's amazing how Gleason was unable to create a flat map that perfectly corresponds with a flat earth. You'd think that would be fairly easy? Flat and flat. Lol!

Instead, he creates a flat map that requires calculations to make distances correct, as they apply to our spherical planet.

Those calculations do make perfect sense, plat tera! Thank goodness Gleason found a way to deal with spherical latitude problems on his map, making the map actually useful!

Here's a tip, if earth were flat and Gleason made a map of the flat earth, you wouldn't need a calculator to work out some distances. You'd only have to know the scale of the map to calculate distances.

So, it is scientific and it is sound. And it is a projection of the globe map.

Sorry to upset you, plat tera.

The Gleason’s Map is “Scientifically and Practically Correct.”

There's being misguided, and then there is flat out lying.  This is a flat out lie.  Returning the paradox of the Southern Cross, you do realize that every latitudinal line on the Gleason map is a north/south azimuth, right?  That means anyone standing on one of those lines, if they look north in the northern hemisphere at night, they'd see Polaris.  In the southern hemisphere, they'd see Sigma Octantis.  Do you see the problem Plat?  At the end of every one of those lines, in Antarctica, there would need to be a Sigma Octantis for a viewer to have due south of them.  Every. Single. One.

Scientifically correct?  Based on what science?  Based on what research?  Verifiable via what experiments?  Confirmed by who? 

And WTF does "practically" correct mean?  Riddle me this Plat, what would you call a data point that is both true and false?  Is it practically true?  If that's the case then it would also be practically false, right?  You can't claim one if it is comprised of both; the true statement in this case is that it is not true and not false. 

The following video proves this with verifying distance from one location to another and also verifies longitude and latitude. The video includes details on how to measure longitude, latitude and distance correctly according to the Gleason’s map.

This is 94 minutes of absolute rubbish.  You know what I really think is neat?  How you need to do all these funky conversions to make this map sort of work (because the flight paths are still not what the actual aircraft fly).  Interestingly, if I use a globe, or a map based on WGS84, I don't need to do conversions.  Why is that?

The opposition have a big problem with our map being correct and they want it to be known as incorrect

I don't have a problem if you like to use unproven conjecture to get around.  In fact, I'd love to see you hop in a sailboat and try a transoceanic crossing with your Gleason map.  Make sure you've got the Coast Guard on speed dial!

So, don’t believe what the professional deniers say. It is their job to lie and discredit us and the Gleason’s map in any way they can.

Plat, we don't need to discredit the map, it does that on its own.  I've asked multiple FE proponents to explain this very simple issue; if your map is superior in all these ways, as you claim it is, then why haven't airlines and commercial shipping abandoned their GPS systems in favor of the Gleason map and its comical conversions?  Why do pilots not fly over North America on their way from Sydney to Santiago? 

https://www.geogebra.org/m/CMZMru7g

That link shows you the actual flight path of an aircraft between Sydney and Santiago on both the Gleason map and a sphere.  Realize for a moment that, the actual flight isn't possible if the Earth is flat.  More to the point, it is but would require stopping and refueling along with the length of time being much longer than what we observe in reality.  A straight line over North America is another option, except in reality that is a longer distance.  If the Gleason map is correct, don't you think airlines, in the business of making money, would use the shortest distance between two points?

You do realize WGS84 takes fully into account the curvature of the Earth's surface and is recognized as the most accurate map of the world, inclusive of the USA, in human history.  So, your statement above is yet another ignorant falsehood.  Plat, answer the question I presented above please.  Why is every mode of travel based on a system you claim is incorrect?  Why are companies wasting both time and money using a system that, as you assert, is incorrect?  If Qantas is flying the wrong way between Santiago and Sydney, why?  Why would they waste time and fuel flying a path that is twice the distance rather than take a path over North America?  Why?

No, it doesn't! A degree of longitude simply cannot be a fixed 60 Nm and all latitudes and I went into that in: When will RE Community Accept Defeat? « Reply #1942 » (https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=82582.msg2203911#msg2203911)

But if you want more convincing, find the width of Greenland at Latitude 75° N. Here is Greenland from the Gleason's map with the width in degrees:
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/pcoczw0y8z5l5p0/1892%20-%20Gleasons%20Map%20-%20Greenland%20-%20width%20in%20degrees.jpg?dl=1)

Now your video claims that each degree of longitude is 60 Nm wide so, with Greenland being 36.5° of longitude wide that would make Greenland 2,190‬ Nm or 4,055.9 km wide.

You've got to be joking Mr Plat Terra!

At 75° N, one degree of longitude is only about 28.8 km wide making Greenland about 1052 km wide.

The reason this continues to come up Plat, is due to the FACT you continue to conflate two mutually exclusive notions; that the Earth is flat and that it is curved.

Your depiction of the contiguous United States underwater is only true if the oceans of Earth are held to the reality that the surface is curved while the landmass isn't.  See the problem there?  BOTH the landmass and its oceans reside on a curved surface.  Therefore, there is no magical swell of water to consume the US. 

Now, do you understand this, or do we need to find some other way to communicate this to you (other than the 60+ pages we've wasted thus far).

Besides I do not live there, so I cannot do it!

There is no way of observing such a distance from the surface of the earth so, since the Globe fits all evidence from Geodetic measurement to astronomical observations, YOU prove that there is no curvature over the USA.

But there is plenty of evidence of curvature to be had for mountain peaks, such as:
Quote from: Bobby Shafto
Flat Earth Investigations / Re: Using mountain ranges to determine the shape of the Earth[/color]]Flat Earth Investigations / Re: Using mountain ranges to determine the shape of the Earth (http://[color=blue)

North Sister and South Sister are 4.3 miles apart. South Sister summit is 278' higher than North Sister. Sightline from S peak to N peak is -0.7° declined from "eye-level"

Adams and Ranier are below that even. Though higher than the viewer, they fall below eye-level, even if I give you -0.7° of error.

But the inclinometer gauge and the geometry work out to support 0° is where the gauge says it is. And I threw Peakfinder in there too, to corroborate. There's no way "eye level is so low as to be below the summit of Ranier in the distance. That would cut through the summit of North Sister, which is below the elevation of South Sister. Can't work.

Those curvature charts these days are called "globes of the earth". Ever thought of buying one for yourself with a known scale? That way you could sit there all week long with your string and calculator and test whether the distances match distances as they are known in geography books, etc.

imagined the maps were a projection of a sphere.
No imagining is required.
As previously shown (and ignored by you), these maps are not an accurate FE map. They have distances massively incorrect. They are only accurate as projections of a globe.

Also, if Earth was flat, we wouldn't have countless different flat representations.
All these different maps are fundamentally incompatible with one another if they are viewed as flat maps of a flat Earth. They would directly contradict one another.
But they are consistent when accepted as projections of the globe.

I have already answered the flight miles from Sydney to Santiago, Chile. Now answer my question.
No, you repeatedly dodged it.
Again, if it was a flat map of a flat Earth, all those calculations based upon triangles are completely unnecessary.
All you need to do is measure the distance on the map and then apply a scale.
Doing that you end up with a much larger distance than in reality.

If you wish to appeal to the nonsense in the picture, provide the derivation in full (without a bunch of other nonsense in the video, like claiming 1 degree of longitude is 60 nautical miles regardless of if you are at the north pole, the equator or the south pole), and justify it. Justify why you can't just measure a distance on the map.

The Gleason’s Map is “Scientifically and Practically Correct.”
Only as a projection of the round Earth.
It is scientifically and practically completely wrong as a flat map of a flat Earth.

The following video
Spouts pure nonsense and shows that the person making it either has no idea how maps work, or is intentionally lying to people.

Let’s have another serious discussion about what is most important, CURVATURE.
You mean now that you have been refuted yet again and can see no way forward in defending your nonsense about Gleason you will run to yet another topic.

Why not decide what you think is really important and stick to it?

To the opposition here, please tell the readers here, why you nor anyone else can prove the curvature bulge over the center of USA?
It has been proven. All the topographic maps use a reference curve. If USA was flat, then it would have an extremely low elevation in the centre.

We even have pictures:
https://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/archive/natural/2019/06/27/png/epic_1b_20190627011358.png

Now why you can't you or any other flat Earther prove that USA is flat?
Why do you instead appeal to measurements based upon a RE, referenced to sea level, which follows a curve, and pretend that they are referenced to an imaginary flat line?

In fact, there would be established curvature charts of all landmass
Do you mean topographic maps relative to the curve, or do you mean the reference geoids which have already been provided?

They do nothing to shut down FE arguments as FEers will happily just ignore them, as you have.

Curvature and topography are not the same thing.

Sherlock, topographical maps show earth’s surface shape derived from “Mean Sea Level” (a horizontal plane) and there is no damn curve.

Where are those curvature charts that prove curvature over the USA?  Shut me down with facts!

Macarios is valiantly trying to get you to grasp datum so I will leave that there.

The top plan is not a topographical map its an elevations plan, minor point but hey.

The bottom is a section which are commonly used, in long and cross form, in engineering and architectural drawings.

Its a drawing, its not a map, its a schematic of known points.

Your section is a long section, your data is horizontal distance (x*) and elevation (y). To make the section you take a flat plain, from a fixed known point, x0=0 and for arguments sake y0=0. so to build your section at point x1=10m and take a reading on the elevation data to give you the y1position.

Draw a line between xy0 and xy1 and repeat.

* x and y being standard graph axis representations.

Heard it a few times around here 'Earth is flat as Engineers dont take into account of curvature in their plans!!!!'

As an engineer I can say yes we do, in the topographical survey we use as a minimum X,Y and Z where X and Y are easting and northing and z is the ellipsoid height (ie elevation above datum)

So all of the data takes into account the curvature of the earth.

I used to design roads, so I would create long sections, based on the centre line of the proposed road, to design the vertical curves for the design and cross sections from back of verge to back of verge to show the road construction.

As stated above these are drawings/schematics, they do not visually show curvature, most of the time the surveys are too small for it to be perceptible, even on the largest of surveys. Why, the curvature is in the numbers not the visual representation. It makes it simpler so we can show these drawings to non engineers in a clear easily read format.

So there IS a conspiracy! :O

How can this take so long?

Imagine a ball with a strong magnet in the center. The ball is bumpy: with mountains and valleys. Dust the ball with iron filings. The filings will be pulled to the center.

That's how the globe works, where you can substitute magnetism with gravity, and in this case iron filings with water.

Why is this difficult?

Let’s have another serious discussion about what is most important, CURVATURE.

To the opposition here, please tell the readers here, why you nor anyone else can prove the curvature bulge over the center of USA? A near 200 mile high curvature bulge over the USA would indeed be measurable by today’s technology. In fact, there would be established curvature charts of all landmass and showing how they relate to Eratosthenes measurements and these charts would be used to shut down a Flat Earth argument. But, NO, NO, NO.
Please tell the readers why.

Arguments that pertain to Sunrises and Sunset and all other lame arguments do not apply here because it does not prove what you see proves the USA has the miles of curvature bulge over center as dictated by a 3959 mile radius earth. Prove Earth’s radius today and show how it relates to curvature charts.

You are mixing flat and round to get the results you want. An error a grade school kid would catch.
