Would you like me to prove that it is a ball first, or that it is spinning first? Take your pick. Generally it is a lot easier to prove that it is a ball first, then spinning second. I like a good challenge though.

No.

What sicko decided that a marquee tag would be a good idea???

Alrighty, I'll start with the shape first. Maybe I'll do it in the reverse order some other time.

The existence of the South Celestial Pole proves the earth is round. (https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=67769.0)

The angle of the sun in the sky proves the earth is round, and that the sun is very far away. (https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=67783.0)

This should be enough to start with.

The existence of the South Celestial Pole proves the earth cannot be a ball in that same thread as sandokhan pointed out.  No proof here

Rabinoz's calculations for the circumference of the earth (The circumference can be calculated from (distance from Vaupes) * 360°/(angle difference of sun from Vaupes))  and based entirely on what I claim are fictitious globe numbers.  Also I see it could be possible the sun rises and falls in elevation on a flat earth. So no proof here either.

Solar eclipse, the Star field behind the eclipsed of the sun, is the Star field that would be seen in six months, as opposed to the Star field that is seen that night. This indicates the orbit around the sun. With a lunar eclipse there is no change with the Star field. The moon orbiting Earth and the spin of the earth.
There are three motions involved to have an eclipse.
One the orbit of earth around the sun.
Two the spin of the earth.
Three the orbit of the Moon around the earth.
When the moon intervenes with the sun a small shadow Falls on the earth, Solar eclipse.
When the moon moves into Earth shadow you have a lunar eclipse.

Are you referring to when he says "divergent path of the stars at the equator (angular distance between stars varies; this could not happen on a spherical earth)" from his panoramic photos?

As I stated numerous times, the angular distance between stars is constant. It is trivially easy for anyone to verify this, including you. Just because they look like they are not parallel in a photo doesn't mean they are not parallel in real life.

That being said, they're apparent location can change slightly due to refraction, especially near the horizon. This is why mountain top observatories are so common. This is completely in line with what we would expect on a round earth.

Edit: Also notice that sandokhan never actually gave an explanation of how the SCP works in his model. All he did was spam the thread with his off topic copy-pasta, presumably to try to get us to forget that his model doesn't have an explanation for the SCP.

His calculations for different heights of the sun were all done for the exact same time. Are you implying that the sun can be at multiple locations at once?

As for the "fictitious globe numbers", does it ever get tiring claiming that every bit of data that disproves your theory is automatically fake? Fine, whatever. What are some distances that you don't think are fake? This calculation can be done anywhere on earth. The math is a bit more complicated if they aren't all at the same longitude, but it is doable. I'll do it myself, just for you. Just give me the locations and distances.

These are observations of celestial bodies, and FE has an explanation for these.  As far as the star field, a long debate has been raised among the historians on its validity

Ground distances are measured and known.
Summer solstice, ground speed of sub-solar point along Tropic of Cancer (roughly 950 mph).
Winter solstice, same ground speed of sub-soalr point along Tropic of Capricorn (roughly 950 mph).

On Flat Earth Tropic of Cancer should be much smaller than Tropic of Capricorn,
so ground speed of sub-solar point should be much lower.

I see this is a twist on my thread, that funnily enough, you've not actually replied to..
https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=67745.0
if you've got ANY evidence of a flat earth, feel free to comment on my thread (yes I'm being sarcastic, if you had any proof, you would have posted on my thread)

to answer the question, yes, everyone can provide evidence of a spinning globe earth, even you, there's an ABUNDANCE of evidence for a globe earth, and absolutely none for a flat earth, only faith, you can claim most of the evidence is faked, but you cannot claim it doesn't exist at all.. the flat earth has NONE, no photos, no videos, no first hand account, nothing

as for the globe evidence

the strongest evidence is the lunar eclipse, that's OUR shadow on the moon, we know that by tracking the sun and moon's movements, very simple explanation, if we weren't a ball, the shadow wouldn't ALWAYS be circular
(absolutely NO flat earth explanation for the lunar eclipse stands up to testing, and I've heard a few, making the lunar eclipse irrefutable evidence of our shape, no ifs no buts)

the reason for my original thread is because the flat earth theory has absolutely zero actual physical evidence, only suggestions..
some FE's still use some 'proofs' that others have already accepted as fact,
there's no agreement withing the FE community, for instance
- a dome is disproven by meteors' existence
- crepuscular sun rays cannot be used as proof due to perspective
- we can't feel a spin due to us also spinning within the atmosphere
- photos of landmarks from too far away are never taken from ground level, when they are, the landmarks have gone (a large majority of videos of people trying to prove no curve, actually end up proving the opposite)

etc

so, not only have you been provided ANY evidence, but IRREFUTABLE evidence
the only way to deny the evidence is with cognitive dissonance

the earth, EVIDENTLY, is a globe

This thread shows nothing more than that really stupid people cannot be shown anything. Ive known a few people in my time who were basically incapable of learning anything because even basic logic or thinking was absent.

People who say there is no proof of a round earth clearly lack the ability to understand pretty much anything. Even if you are an FEer, the claim that there is nothing to support a roundearth is ridiculous.

Sad that some of these people are allowed to vote or drive cars or *shudder*, breed.

Why do you doubt your own eyes when you can see thousands and thousands of pictures that show the Earth is round?

Seriously: why. You cannot have come up with the idea on your own that all these pictures are faked.

If you did come up with that yourself, I assume you have proof that they are faked?
If you did not come up with that yourself, the people who told you the pictures were faked showed you proof that they were faked, right?

Because if you don't have proof the pictures are wrong, why do you believe they are?

Right.  "At this rate a Foucault pendulum would have to oscillate for more than 16000 years to precess 1 degree. Despite being quite small, notice that it is still two orders of magnitude larger than Thomas precession for such a pendulum"  However some simple mechanical gyroscopes do not show the earth spin.

Yes, I think he has a good point about the divergent path of the stars at the equator, its photographic proof the earth is not a ball.

The fictitious globe numbers are simply the fact that he used Eratosthenes's method in assuming a globe to prove a globe.  In other words he assumed a sphere to calculate the circumference of the sphere.  This means nothing, there are 2 sets of numbers, one for flat earth another for globe.  This may work for a globe model but it is NOT proof a globe.

All you have to do to prove him wrong is go outside and measure it yourself. I guarantee that they don't diverge like he says they do. Absolutely anyone on earth can easily verify this. Just go outside and measure the distance between two stars several times during the night. The distance between them will remain constant. If you want to plug your ears pretend that they do diverge, I guess there is nothing I can do about that.

As far as the star field, a long debate has been raised among the historians on its validity

I asked for verifiable proof we are on a spinning ball. Can you please explain to me how I can verify this for myself because there was debate about the 1919 eclipse, and the findings used to validate Einstein.

Schmeidler of the Munich University Observatory has published a paper  titled "The Einstein Shift An Unsettled Problem," and a plot of shifts for 92 stars for the 1922 eclipse shows shifts going in all directions, many of them going the wrong way by as large a deflection as those shifted in the predicted direction! Further examination of the 1919 and 1922 data originally interpreted as confirming relativity, tended to favor a larger shift, the results depended very strongly on the manner for reducing the measurements and the effect of omitting individual stars.

Sandokahn, you are a joke. And you are obviously panicing. The more youbpanic the more you fling text at the screen, in the hopes it will deflect.

The scary thing is that I am beginning to wonder if you realize you are panicing. It seems to me you are fighting your own doubt. Because admitting you were wrong seems like the ultimate defeat for you.

If you can't admit a mistake, you can never learn.

Evidence for a globe:

Sunsets and rises.

Evidence for it spinning: meteors are more frequent at a certain time when the earth is farthest from the sun. I forgot the exact time and I don't stay up to see it though.

So no proof here either.
Those angles are all at the same time.

Are you suggesting by " the sun rises and falls in elevation on a flat earth." that the sun rises and falls at the same time?

I see this is a twist on my thread, that funnily enough, you've not actually replied to..
https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=67745.0
if you've got ANY evidence of a flat earth, feel free to comment on my thread (yes I'm being sarcastic, if you had any proof, you would have posted on my thread)

to answer the question, yes, everyone can provide evidence of a spinning globe earth, even you, there's an ABUNDANCE of evidence for a globe earth, and absolutely none for a flat earth, only faith, you can claim most of the evidence is faked, but you cannot claim it doesn't exist at all.. the flat earth has NONE, no photos, no videos, no first hand account, nothing

as for the globe evidence

the strongest evidence is the lunar eclipse, that's OUR shadow on the moon, we know that by tracking the sun and moon's movements, very simple explanation, if we weren't a ball, the shadow wouldn't ALWAYS be circular
(absolutely NO flat earth explanation for the lunar eclipse stands up to testing, and I've heard a few, making the lunar eclipse irrefutable evidence of our shape, no ifs no buts)

the reason for my original thread is because the flat earth theory has absolutely zero actual physical evidence, only suggestions..
some FE's still use some 'proofs' that others have already accepted as fact,
there's no agreement withing the FE community, for instance
- a dome is disproven by meteors' existence
- crepuscular sun rays cannot be used as proof due to perspective
- we can't feel a spin due to us also spinning within the atmosphere
- photos of landmarks from too far away are never taken from ground level, when they are, the landmarks have gone (a large majority of videos of people trying to prove no curve, actually end up proving the opposite)

etc

so, not only have you been provided ANY evidence, but IRREFUTABLE evidence
the only way to deny the evidence is with cognitive dissonance

the earth, EVIDENTLY, is a globe

I've addressed the lunar eclipse, (a shadow object) moving around the sun.  Everything else you said: Because reasons.  No proof here.

I've addressed the lunar eclipse's 'alternative theories', none stand up to testing, the shadow object does not block out the light of other stars, ever.. that theory fails at testing, it has been proven wrong, it simply should not be used anymore, there's not many FE's still clinging to that theory, even in here

all the rest I said 'because reasons'? I don't understand what you mean, you just blatantly ignored my points

you've presented absolutely NO evidence to back up any claims, where's your evidence for the 'shadow object'? you can't just say it and it be so..

and there ARE genuine photos of the earth, from USA, China and Russia, not all are composites

we cant be on a spinning ball pal,the sun moves around us with blue sky in front of our eyes,the sun is under the fermament same as the moon and the stars,we are gods loved ones dude,watch the stars at night then ul understand

The dome has been disproven by the existence of meteors, plain and simple

Solar eclipse, the Star field behind the eclipsed of the sun, is the Star field that would be seen in six months, as opposed to the Star field that is seen that night.
As far as the star field, a long debate has been raised among the historians on its validity

Debate among historians?  What are you talking about?  It has been known for a long time that stars are visible during an eclipse, and which ones they are.  This knowledge has been used to validate general relativity (http://www.wired.com/2009/05/dayintech_0529/), for example, way back in 1919.

I asked for verifiable proof we are on a spinning ball. Can you please explain to me how I can verify this for myself because there was debate about the 1919 eclipse, and the findings used to validate Einstein.

It's really easy. Go look at a ship going over the horizon and then ask yourself where it went. Then simply think. Watch the sun rise and sink. Then simply think. Then ask yourself about satellites and how they might work.

'Thinking' is all you need to do.

If you are truly interested in proof, and you are willing to do some work of your own to acquire it (wouldn't that be better, after all? Getting your own proof?) an opportunity presents itself in August of 2017.  A total solar eclipse will occur with terrific viewing across the entire United States.  I don't know where you live, but if you are in the States you should absolutely make sure to place yourself under the path of the Moon's shadow and see for yourself which stars come out.

Went there, saw the thread.

You "debunked" some things by "telluric currents".

"Telluric currents continuously move between the sunlit and shadowed sides of the earth,
toward the equator on the side of the earth facing the sun (that is, during the day),
and toward the poles on the night side of the planet."

And "debunked" Gyroscope by work of Brian DePalma:

(He not only directed the debunk, but wrote the scipt for it himself.)
Brian De Palma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_De_Palma).
But yes, he studied physics.

On the other hand, Bruce DePalma came up with some claim about
gyroscope having less weight while spinning, which is debunked.

So, you don't believe the distances we get from Google Earth or the sun elevations from Sun Earth Tools (http://www.sunearthtools.com/dp/tools/pos_sun.php)?

Well, lets's just forget that and uses figures all contained in your Wiki. Can't be fairer than that, can we?

I will use the same locations, so the latitudes will be the same, but even that doesn't matter.
Quote
Finding your Latitude and Longitude
Latitude
To locate your latitude on the Flat Earth, it's important to know the following fact: The degrees of the Earth's Latitude are based upon the angle of the sun in the sky at noon equinox.

That's why 0˚ N/S sits on the equator where the sun is directly overhead, and why 90˚ N/S sits at the poles where the sun is at a right angle to the observer. At 45˚ North or South from the equator, the sun will sit at an angle 45˚ in the sky. The angle of the sun past zenith is our latitude.

Knowing that as you recede North or South from the equator at equinox, the sun will descend at a pace of one degree per 69.5 miles, we can even derive our distance from the equator based upon the position of the sun in the sky.

Here is the basic method, often called "Voliva's Method".
Around 1899, Thomas Winship, author of Zetetic Cosmogony, provides a calculation demonstrating that the sun can be computed to be relatively close to the earth's surface if one assumes that the earth is flat:
Quote
On March 21-22 the sun is directly overhead at the equator and appears 45 degrees above the horizon at 45 degrees north and south latitude. As the angle of sun above the earth at the equator is 90 degrees while it is 45 degrees at 45 degrees north or south latitude, it follows that the angle at the sun between the vertical from the horizon and the line from the observers at 45 degrees north and south must also be 45 degrees. The result is two right angled triangles with legs of equal length. The distance between the equator and the points at 45 degrees north or south is approximately 3,000 miles. Ergo, the sun would be an equal distance above the equator.
This is illustrated in this diagram from Modern Mechanics - Oct, 1931:
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/c5vapwwha4j5fn4/Voliva%20Flat%20Earth%20Sun%20Distance.png?dl=1)
Voliva's Flat Earth Sun Distance.
This is also shown in the Wiki under Distance to the Sun (http://wiki.google.com/Distance_to_the_Sun) under the section Sun's Distance - Modern Mechanics.

But this calculates the height from only ONE location, Latitude 45°.

In would seem that we would get a more accurate result by taking measurements from a number of different latitudes and comparing the results.

So this time, I will present the sun elevations from six locations, close to longitude 70°W as in So you think the sun is about 5,000 km high? « on: August 23, 2016, 08:22:33 PM » (https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=67783.msg1812804#msg1812804)


And I will calculate the sun's elevation as just 90˚ at the equator (Lat = 0˚), decreases by 1˚ for we move North of South of the equator. The distance from the equator will be calculated as (degrees of lat) x 69.5 miles as in the Wiki.

Also, I will make it more like the "Voliva Method" and just take all distances from the equator, not Vaupes.
 
The following table gives the data for each location. As for Voliva the date and time are for the overhead sun at an equinox, here UTC 20/Mar/2016 16:48 - the time the sun was overhead at long 70˚ West.

Once we have the elevation angle of the sun from the site the height of the sun can be calculated from: h = d x tan(ElevAng) .
Also, if the earth is taken as a Globe the calculated circumference is found from (distance from equator) x 360°/(latitude difference from equator).

This time, I must stress, the sun elevations and distances are calculated exactly as in "the Wiki".
So, please no excuses like blaming Google earth or "Globalist" figures - they are Flat Earth distances from the Society's Wiki!

Using this method to find the height of the sun on the Flat earth gives measurements from 2,240 miles (for Kimmirut to the Equator) to 3,889 miles (for Chupa District to the Equator) depending on the spacing of the measurement sites.
Also for at locations close to 45° from the equator we get the usual Flat Earth sun height of "a bit over 3,000 miles, vis 3,125 miles and 3,126 miles.

In other words, claiming that the Flat Earth sun is at about 3,000 miles altitude has no foundation whatever.

It is very telling when we use the same data to calculate the earth's circumference, as Erosthanes did, we get an absolutely consistent 25,020 miles circumference.
  Explain that!
This consistency is simply because we used "the Wiki's" figure of exactly 69.5 miles/degree, whereas the actual sun elevation figures from SunEarthTools would have little errors.

Certainly these figures would indicate that the earth is a globe with a distant sun.

ASPDEN GYROSCOPE EFFECT

http://www.padrak.com/ine/NEN_4_8_1.html

The aether was detected some years earlier by Sagnac in France and is detected in modern navigation technology by the ring laser gyro. How can the speed of a laser beam traveling around a closed path inside an optical instrument detect rotation of that instrument if the beam is not keeping a fixed speed relative to something inside that instrument that does not share its rotation? That something is the aether! No amount of book learning or mathematics can avoid that simple truth, and even though the word aether is seen as something magical, it is that something that delivers free energy once we have decoded the combination of the magnetic lock which restrains its release. Note also, that the aether reveals its existence when we have rotation and we have rotation in the Adams motor.


The Allais effect demonstrates the same thing.

"During the total eclipses of the sun on June 30, 1954, and October 22, 1959, quite analogous deviations of the plane of oscillation of the paraconical pendulum were observed..." - Maurice Allais, 1988 Nobel autobiographical lecture.

In a marathon experiment, Maurice Allais released a Foucault pendulum every 14 minutes - for 30 days and nights -without missing a data point. He recorded the direction of rotation (in degrees) at his Paris laboratory. This energetic show of human endurance happened to overlap with the 1954 solar eclipse. During the eclipse, the pendulum took an unexpected turn, changing its angle of rotation by 13.5 degrees.

Allais' pendulum experiments earned him the 1959 Galabert Prize of the French Astronautical Society, and in 1959 he was made a laureate of the United States Gravity Research Foundation.

Orders of magnitude incompatible with current theory

In both cases, with the experiments with the anisotropic support and with those with the isotropic support, it is found that the amplitudes of the periodic effects are considerably greater than those calculated according to the law of gravitation, whether or not completed by the theory of relativity.
 
In the case of the anisotropic support, the amplitude of the luni-solar component of 24h 50m is about twenty million times greater than the amplitude calculated by the theory of universal gravitation (pp. 118-129 and Table VII, p. 129).

In the case of the paraconical pendulum with isotropic support, this relation is about a hundred million (pp. 285-328).

The discrepancies discovered are enormous, and, as far as I know, unmatched in the literature.

In fact, the results of the experiments of July 1958 confirmed in an electrifying manner my previous reasoning, leading to the conclusion that, in the movement of the paraconical pendulum with anisotropic support, there are anomalies of a periodic character which are totally inexplicable in the framework of currently accepted theories.

It's really easy. Go look at a ship going over the horizon and then ask yourself where it went. Then simply think. Watch the sun rise and sink. Then simply think. Then ask yourself about satellites and how they might work.

'Thinking' is all you need to do.

Think about this then:  If ships actually go over the horizon (which they do not, as I have seen this for myself, and any evidence shown of this is a function of limited perspective)  then it would mean you can see curvature only several miles away.  If that is the case then at 33 KM high how is it possible that the horizon is always flat and at eye level - which has been proven by countless balloon videos.  This is impossible.  The only solution is that the earth is not a globe, and in either situation there is no curvature, because you are not living on a sphere.

And, since you are here to learn, the Sagnac effect not only destroys the theory of relativity but proves that the light is variable, and not a constant.

Ether and the Earth orbiting the Sun are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.

Here is why.

These are the heliocentrical equations of motions for the planetary system:

(http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n206/dharanis1/qu1_zpsilsnpvcb.jpg)

Don't get scared: a system of strongly nonlinear ordinary differential equations, with Melnikov's method the only analytical tool at our disposal to gain at least some knowledge of these equations' qualitative theory.


MAIN POINT: they lack a damping term, that is, friction.

RE theory requires a full void, otherwise the equations which "describe" the orbits of the planets will have to include friction terms.


KEPLER MOTION

In an appropriate coordinate system, the motion of a planet around the sun (considered as fixed) with the attractive force being proportional to the inverse square of the distance /z/ of the planet from the sun is given by the solution of the second order conservative system with the potential function -/z/^-1 for z =/0.

A mechanical system without friction can be described in the Hamiltonian formulation.

I have yet to find a single verifiable proof of this anywhere.
Verifiable by whom?  Over 500 astronauts have personally verified it by going into space.  Countless ship and aircraft navigators have personally verified it by using round earth maps to travel all over the world.

I have lots of questions for them.  Can you setup some interviews?  Are any of these ship navigators using a physical 3D globe at the helm? How about the aircraft pilots?  I've never seen a physical spinning globe earth in the cockpit have you?

That's not what it proves.  It proves that the inertial reference frame is not limited to the apparatus itself.  If one could build a device with enough resolution, one could orient it and rotate it to remove the planetary spin component and then detect the 365.25x smaller orbital rotation.  If daily rotation can be detected with 1km of fiber, I guess a 365km fiber could pick up orbital rotation.

The only daily rotation that is picked up is that of the rotation of ether strings/waves above the surface of the Earth: results proven by Dr. Dayton Miller and Dr. Yuri Galaev.

GPS satellites cannot detect and do not detect any orbital motion, the latest and most up-to-date results:

https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=30499.msg1784780#msg1784780

You haven't the foggiest idea of what you are talking about.

In GPS the actual magnitude of the Sagnac correction
due to earth’s rotation depends on the positions of
satellites and receiver and a typical value is 30 m, as the
propagation time is about 0.1s and the linear speed due
to earth’s rotation is about 464 m/s at the equator. The
GPS provides an accuracy of about 10 m or better in positioning.
Thus the precision of GPS will be degraded significantly,
if the Sagnac correction due to earth’s rotation
is not taken into account. On the other hand, the orbital
motion of the earth around the sun has a linear speed of
about 30 km/s which is about 100 times that of earth’s
rotation. Thus the present high-precision GPS would be
entirely impossible if the omitted correction due to orbital
motion is really necessary.


In an intercontinental microwave link between Japan and
the USA via a geostationary satellite as relay, the influence
of earth’s rotation is also demonstrated in a high-precision
time comparison between the atomic clocks at two remote
ground stations.
In this transpacific-link experiment, a synchronization
error of as large as about 0.3 µs was observed unexpectedly.

[that is, the detection of the ether waves was recorded]


Meanwhile, as in GPS, no effects of earth’s orbital motion
are reported in these links, although they would be
easier to observe if they are in existence.
Thereby, it is evident
that the wave propagation in GPS or the intercontinental
microwave link depends on the earth’s rotation, but
is entirely independent of earth’s orbital motion around
the sun or whatever. As a consequence, the propagation
mechanism in GPS or intercontinental link can be viewed
as classical in conjunction with an ECI frame, rather than
the ECEF or any other frame, being selected as the unique
propagation frame. In other words, the wave in GPS or the
intercontinental microwave link can be viewed as propagating
via a classical medium stationary in a geocentric
inertial frame.

This is about EFI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-centered_inertial).

And this is about "no Sagnac effects on satellite communications" (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/5672600/).

"Precision of two-way satellite time and frequency transfer (TWSTFT) highly depends on
the residual nonreciprocity delays; one of them is caused by the Sagnac effect."

Whatever your height the horizon is the same distance from you all the way round, so it looks the same height all the way around, so
it looks flat!
What does change is the dip angle to the horizon. Ask anyone who has done any celestial navigation about that.

The "dip angle to the horizon" is just your
(eye height above the horizon) divided by (the distance to the horizon), converted to degrees.
If you are standing right at sea level, say an eye height of 1.5 m, the horizon is about 4.4 km away making the dip angle 0.04°, quite invisible.

Even in an aircraft at say 10,000 m, the horizon is about 360 km away making the dip angle 3.2°, quite measurable, but not easy to pick without a reference.

At your 30 km, the horizon is about 620 km away making the dip angle 5.6°.

Now where have you any examples of anyone actually measuring the "dip angle to the horizon" from 30 km up? People just say "it looks level", or "that's just a fish-eye lens"
Remember 30 km is still only 0.2% of the earth's diameter!

This video Debunked: The Horizon Always at Eye Level (http://) gives some measurements (only on a smart phone) of the "dip angle".

By the way, I had calculated that dip angle of 3.2° from an aircraft at 10,000 m months before finding that video - maybe there's something in these sums!

Yes, the horizon seems to rise to eye-level, but only because of perspective, that is the relatively small distance from eye-level to the horizon (compared to the size of the earth) seems very small over the large distance the horizon if from the observer.
I wish more people would out some effort into this measurement, as it is quite definitive!
Below 1000 m of so you do need surveying equipment, a surveyors level or theodolite, for reliable results.

Any child would say they live on a FLAT and stable suface with the sun and moon moving overhead.
That same child will be waiting a l0000ng time for the spinny, roundness part to happen...  fact is ALL OF YOU wake up each day to a FLAT and STILL surface.  Period.  Go outside.  Stand up straight.  And observe how you are on a flat surface.  The spinning part only happens in your programmed imagination.  You imagine it, dream it, 'been told it was so', but each and every day when a round-earther goes to his slave-cubicle to repay his debt, his cubicle is still, stable, and flat... then ONLY thing that moves above him is the sun and the moon...

The FE/RE debate is too polarized to be truly productive.  One camp goes outside stands perfectly still on a flat surface and SWEARS it is spinning at a zillion miles per hour and is indeed round.  The other camp goes outside and reports what it observes (ie science) flat, stable, round.. stuff above moving like clockwork...

Where is the proof of a round earth.  Poll any unmolested person from the old-world who has never heard of NASA and they will ALL tell you the world is flat.  Poll an unwashed westerner and, dispite thier own eyes, its round and spinning.  Ask for proof and they will show you some CGI from the 1970s..lol...

Thus the debate is pointless.. the RE's belong at thier 9-5 slaving, day in and day out... segregated from the truly free people (FE's) who live BY natures laws and reality....

Fun fact:  A RE'r is mot likley to be your typical 9-5 debt-slave caught in the matrix.  A FE'r likey works for himself, has no debt, and UTILIZES his days rather than simply trying to 'get through them' like a RE'r...

The very fact that you brought the fiber optic gyroscope into the discussion shows your level of ignorance on the subject.

...the question about the angle of the device matching the observer's latitude.

I always take care of such details: use the search function to find out where.

The ether drift results ALWAYS are latitude dependent.

Just an FYI, ether drift, if real, supports a round earth orbiting the sun better than a stationary flat earth.

..Oh if you only knew un-illumanated one... ACTUALLY a flat earth makes calculations ALOT EASIER... theres no BS 'axis' or 'tilt' or 'libration' NONSENSE to deal with... it ALL BECOMES SIMPLE:

- the sun circles the earth in 1 day
- the sun spirals from tropic to tropic in 1 year
- the moon circles the earth in 'almost' one day
- the moon spirals from lunistice to lunistice every 13 moons
- the moon gradually extends this boundary every 18.6 years (major and minor lunar standstills)

- the moon phases are EASY to explain on a FE model:
- A FULL moon means the moon is at its southern limit
- A NEW moon means its at its northern limit




ALL of this is also true on a RE model, its just MUCH simpler to explain and calculate on a FE model

FAKE sattelite internet has been replaced also by FIOS or radio-towers
Where is the 'sattelite phone' promised from the 1980s and 1990s?  Instead in 2016 ALL cell-phone carriers user CELL TOWERS (radio towers)

Sattelites exist in your collective imagination... those sketchy images of scientists (ie actors) wearing all white lab-coats fondling a satellite in a NASA hanger... the CGI images of sattelites in space...

Take a hike to the tallest moutain in the wilderness and let me know how the reception (to ANYTHING) is...  'sattelites' dont seem to work too good now do they...

BONUS:

Tesla confused alot of people trying to 'bounce electrical signals' off of the ionoshpere... seems like lunacy on a ROUND earth model... but is simple REFLECTION on a FLAT earth model...  Point a signal at the FLAT ionosphere and it reflects the signal just like reflecting a flashlight off of a flat mirroed ceiling to another spot on the 'floor'/earth... china, india.. wherever... just bounce the signal...  again makes no sense on a round earth model... you gotta play with all this 'bending of light' nonsense.. makes perfect sense on a FE model however...

- the stars are the same in both hemispheres, the orientations are different

- Put a smiley-face on the ceiling in a room, have a pal sit opposite of you... YOU will see a smiley-face, your pal will see a 'frowny-face'... in the USA the moon never gets more north of the nation.. south of the equator it does..

How come the stars rotate around an axis on BOTH hemispheres?

- What does this have to do with the SHAPE of the Earth?

Why is the moon full at it's southern limit and new at it's most northern limit?

- I have no idea!  And neither do round-earthers!

How come the planets have retrograde motion?

How come stars can have a measurable parallax?

- This has NOTHING to do with the SHAPE of the earth...


How come the sun sets, then somehow rises on the other side?

- Because the sun hovers above the earth moving in a CLOCKWISE circle that slowly spirals northward, then southward in 1 full year.  Each day the sun ARRIVES/rises in the east and DEPARTS/sets in the west... this circle gets slightly 'bigger' each day until the summer solstice, then it gets 'smaller' each day until the winter solstice... this is how you get seasons..

got more [RELEVANT] questions?  keep em coming!

Hint - try to STAY ON TOPIC.. try not to ask about quakrs, quazars, black-hole nebulas and other NASA fabricated baboonery... we are talking about the SHAPE of the earth, NOT why a cat's meow makes a 'meow' noise...

How come the southern hemisphere sees different stars than the northern hemisphere?

- the stars are the same in both hemispheres, the orientations are different
No, they are not.
Northern Hemisphere stars:

Southern Hemisphere stars:
(http://www.m4040.com/Survival/Skills/Navigation/Starchart2.gif)
They are very different, unless you think that everybody who ever went to the southern hemisphere is lying.

How come the moon is flipped in the southern hemisphere?

- Put a smiley-face on the ceiling in a room, have a pal sit opposite of you... YOU will see a smiley-face, your pal will see a 'frowny-face'... in the USA the moon never gets more north of the nation.. south of the equator it does..
Made a quick sketch in MS Paint to show you how stupid this is. Notice how people in different parts of the southern hemisphere would see radically different orientations. This does not happen in real life. Unless you think everybody in the southern hemisphere is lying.

How come the stars rotate around an axis on BOTH hemispheres?

- What does this have to do with the SHAPE of the Earth?
Because a flat earth would be IMPOSSIBLE for stars to rotate around the southern pole, which they do.
gg (http://)
unless you think that everybody in the southern hemisphere is lying.
Why is the moon full at it's southern limit and new at it's most northern limit?

- I have no idea!  And neither do round-earthers!
First of all, the moon's phases are cause by sunlight. The moon can be full in the southern hemisphere and new in the northern hemisphere. There is ABSOLUTELY no correlation between latitude and lunar phase.
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6a/Moon_Phase_Diagram_for_Simple_English_Wikipedia.GIF)
Unless you think everybody who has ever seen the moon is lying.
How come the planets have retrograde motion?

How come stars can have a measurable parallax?

- This has NOTHING to do with the SHAPE of the earth...
Regardless, I'd like to see you answer, or see if you even know what these two things are.
How come the sun sets, then somehow rises on the other side?

- Because the sun hovers above the earth moving in a CLOCKWISE circle that slowly spirals northward, then southward in 1 full year.  Each day the sun ARRIVES/rises in the east and DEPARTS/sets in the west... this circle gets slightly 'bigger' each day until the summer solstice, then it gets 'smaller' each day until the winter solstice... this is how you get seasons..
I asked how the sun sets and rises. Not how seasons work. But while we are on that topic, how does antarctica have 4 months of complete sunlight?

Not gonna argue the existence of sattelites with you because there is no argument.  You CANNOT see a Boeing 747 with the naked eye at cruising altitude on a pitch-black night with its lights flashing!
You can't see a boeing at night because it is dark, but you can see satellites because of the sun's reflection off of them. Irridium flares are really cool. Nothing else in the sky can cause them. Here is a video of one:
gg (http://)
An irridium flare is when light bounces off of a near-perfect reflector, basically a giant mirror pointed at your eyes.

IT IS TOO HIGH TO SEE (ie vanishing point..)... now ANYONE who claims to have seen something 10x SMALLER at 30X HIGHER is simply WRONG!
THE END!
Strange, because I can see jupiter through a telescope, even though it is 588,000,000X as far away and only 4,000,000X as big (diameter).

You can see Jupiter because it is much brighter than a 747, not because it is bigger. The same goes for satellites.

Sure the earth looks pretty flat, so would a 5 mile diameter ball to an ant!

I go outside in the morning and see the sun seem to rise from behind the horizon. It starts as part of a circle peeping over the horizon and gradually rises to become a perfect circle. It stays the exactly the same size till it does the same thing in reverse and sets in the west.

Sattelites are FAKE.
Where is your proof, because thousands of people have seen them. Are you saying every amateur astronomer is lying?
Where is the 'sattelite phone' promised from the 1980s and 1990s?
Ebay, Amazon, your pick. They are about 1000$ a pop, which is why most people pick the cheaper version which uses towers.
Sattelites exist in your collective imagination... those sketchy images of scientists (ie actors) wearing all white lab-coats fondling a satellite in a NASA hanger... the CGI images of sattelites in space...
They also exist in space above us, as anybody can go outside on certain nights and see the ISS. Are you saying that the sky is a giant television or something? How would the Government CGI the sky?
Take a hike to the tallest moutain in the wilderness and let me know how the reception (to ANYTHING) is...  'sattelites' dont seem to work too good now do they...
Well, cell phones won't work because there are no cell towers, but Satellite phones would. (see above, you can buy one for about 1000$)
Tesla confused alot of people trying to 'bounce electrical signals' off of the ionoshpere... seems like lunacy on a ROUND earth model... but is simple REFLECTION on a FLAT earth model...  Point a signal at the FLAT ionosphere and it reflects the signal just like reflecting a flashlight off of a flat mirroed ceiling to another spot on the 'floor'/earth... china, india.. wherever... just bounce the signal...  again makes no sense on a round earth model... you gotta play with all this 'bending of light' nonsense.. makes perfect sense on a FE model however...
Funny how it only works when you "bounce" it off of the exact place where there happens to be a satellite. Try angling your Satellite TV dish and see how good of reception you get.



Not gonna argue the existence of sattelites with you because there is no argument.  You CANNOT see a Boeing 747 with the naked eye at cruising altitude on a pitch-black night with its lights flashing... IT IS TOO HIGH TO SEE (ie vanishing point..)... now ANYONE who claims to have seen something 10x SMALLER at 30X HIGHER is simply WRONG!  Period.  End of discussion.  YOU CANNOT SEE TINY SATTELITES FLOATING IN SPACE when YOU CANT even see a GIANTIC 747 at night at crusing altitude!

If I have a light bulb and a basketball, I can create 'night' on one side of the ball. This is the shadow side, since it is not lit. The light from the bulb is stopped by the ball. So if I hold my hand close to divide between light and darkness, on the dark side, my hand will be in shadow. If I lift my hand higher, my hand moves outside of the shadow. It is now hit by the light.

Conclusion: it is very possible for a plane to be in darkness and for a satellite to be in sunlight at the same time viewed from the same spot on the earth.

Anyone got anything that would disprove this?

Just an FYI, ether drift, if real, supports a round earth orbiting the sun better than a stationary flat earth.

You still don't get it.


In one of the most intriguing experiments of the 20th century, Martin Ruderfer proved mathematically and experimentally, using the spinning Mossbauer effect, the FIRST NULL RESULT in ether drift theory (1961).

https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=66858.msg1784179#msg1784179 (also includes the references on the Ives experiment, a hexagonal closed path Sagnac effect)


A GPS satellite orbiting the Earth, while at the same time the entire system is orbiting the Sun, IS A LARGE SCALE SPINNING MOSSBAUER EXPERIMENT.


Given the very fact that these GPS satellites DO NOT record the orbital Sagnac effect, means that THE HYPOTHESES OF THE RUDERFER EXPERIMENT ARE FULFILLED.

https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=30499.msg1782182#msg1782182


Ron Hatch, one of the world's greatest experts on GPS satellite technology, explains:

Why is there no requirement for a Sagnac correction due to the earth’s orbital motion? Like the transit time in the spinning Mossbauer experiments, any such effect would be completely canceled by the orbital-velocity effect on the satellite clocks.

However, indirectly, the counteracting effects of the transit time and clock slowing induced biases indicate that an ether drift is present. This is because there is independent evidence that clocks are slowed as a result of their speed. Thus,
ether drift must exist or else the clock slowing effect would be observed.



Believe it or not, most scientists have begun to give up on the theory of relativity, as it no longer can explain the spinning Mossbauer effect encountered in the GPS satellites.

THE LATEST VIEWPOINT in cosmology today is this: MLET (Modified Lorentz Ether Theory).

THIS IS THE LAST STAND of the RE scientists.

Let me explain.

A modified Lorentz ether is a TRANSLATIONAL ETHER: that is, it surrounds the Earth like an envelope, but does NOT rotate along with the Earth around its own axis; while at the same time it travels WITH the Earth in its orbit around the Sun.

In this way, the orbital Sagnac spinning Mossbauer effect could be explained by this translational ether.


HOWEVER, there is no such thing as MLET.


None other than Dr. Hans Zweig (Stanford University) has exposed the fallacies inherent in Lorentz' approach:

The colossal mistakes committed by Lorentz and Einstein in deriving the Lorentz transformation/factor:

http://relativityunraveled.net/chapter-4-the-michelson-morley-experiment/

http://relativityunraveled.net/chapter-5-the-lorentz-transformation/

http://relativityunraveled.net/chapter-1-introduction/

Dr. Hans Zweig, Stanford University: http://wiki.naturalphilosophy.org/wiki/hans-j-zweig/


MLET (Modified Lorentz Ether Theory) is based on the Lorentz transformation (Lorentz factor/contraction), and as such, is equally invalid.

http://www.gsjournal.net/old/weuro/agathan5.pdf



And things don't stop here.

In addition to the fact that GPS satellites do not record the orbital Sagnac effect, we have an even greater problem: the GPS clocks DO NOT RECORD the Sun's gravitational potential.

It is assumed that the orbital velocity of the Earth as it orbits the Sun is a variable; however, the GPS clocks show that the this velocity MUST BE CONSTANT, as it does not record the Sun's gravitational potential effect upon these clocks.

Think about this then:  If ships actually go over the horizon (which they do not, as I have seen this for myself, and any evidence shown of this is a function of limited perspective)  then it would mean you can see curvature only several miles away.  If that is the case then at 33 KM high how is it possible that the horizon is always flat and at eye level - which has been proven by countless balloon videos.  This is impossible.  The only solution is that the earth is not a globe, and in either situation there is no curvature, because you are not living on a sphere.

Whatever your height the horizon is the same distance from you all the way round, so it looks the same height all the way around, so
it looks flat!
What does change is the dip angle to the horizon. Ask anyone who has done any celestial navigation about that.

The "dip angle to the horizon" is just your
(eye height above the horizon) divided by (the distance to the horizon), converted to degrees.
If you are standing right at sea level, say an eye height of 1.5 m, the horizon is about 4.4 km away making the dip angle 0.04°, quite invisible.

Even in an aircraft at say 10,000 m, the horizon is about 360 km away making the dip angle 3.2°, quite measurable, but not easy to pick without a reference.

At your 30 km, the horizon is about 620 km away making the dip angle 5.6°.

Now where have you any examples of anyone actually measuring the "dip angle to the horizon" from 30 km up? People just say "it looks level", or "that's just a fish-eye lens"
Remember 30 km is still only 0.2% of the earth's diameter!

This video Debunked: The Horizon Always at Eye Level (http://) gives some measurements (only on a smart phone) of the "dip angle".

By the way, I had calculated that dip angle of 3.2° from an aircraft at 10,000 m months before finding that video - maybe there's something in these sums!

Yes, the horizon seems to rise to eye-level, but only because of perspective, that is the relatively small distance from eye-level to the horizon (compared to the size of the earth) seems very small over the large distance the horizon if from the observer.
I wish more people would out some effort into this measurement, as it is quite definitive!
Below 1000 m of so you do need surveying equipment, a surveyors level or theodolite, for reliable results.

So you're saying the dip angle of 0.04° a just at few kilometers  is enough to hide an enormous cruise ships hull, however a dip angle of a balloon at 30KM of 5.6° which is a 13900% increase is completely undetectable?  Nope.  Just a whole bunch of nope.

I have yet to find a single verifiable proof of this anywhere.

My personal favourite's weather prediction.
Even if we assume all the data comes strictly from ground-based sources, meteorology is based on certain equations, and those equations take into account the Coriolis force as a key factor. Without the Coriolis term in the equation, you'd primarily get motion to and from the equator. With the Coriolis term included, you get what's called geostrophic flow. This essentially means when wind flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low, it gets deflected (in a different direction depending on hemisphere).
This behaviour is key, and visible on publicly available weather maps. Nothing's behind closed doors here, all the numbers and resources can easily be found by anyone.
Round Earth Theory successfully predicts the future in a verifiable fashion, daily.

You're welcome to use the same maps to try to do the same assuming there's no Coriolis force, and so no geostrophic flow. You can of course verify the maps if you're willing to put in a little effort, coordinating with others online, but if you don't want to do that it's still pretty clear they must be accurate as the maps are the same wherever you are. if you look up the weather in, say, Britain, and then use a proxy to change your IP so it seems like you're looking from somewhere else, you'd get the same answer.
So, if weather maps are accurate for the present, how do they predict the future if the assumptions they're founded upon are false?
Omit the effect of the Coriolis force, it doesn't work. Assume the Earth's rotating so there's a force in one direction, it still wouldn't work.

(Side note: this is primarily about shorter-term weather prediction. Knowing the direction pressure systems will move, and the subsequent wind direction etc, are all impressive feats to get right when the justification is apparently guesswork or a lie, according to FET. For the longer term, it tends to be less accurate because the PDEs governing weather systems are incredibly complex, and typically solutions can only be approximated. Still, they're often right more than you'd expect if it was chance alone).

Haven;t looked into this much however you know what I'd say about the Coriolis effect...Of course prediction is not impossible on a globe model but I think patterns and flow makes more sense on an AE map as seen below. Maybe viewing this way, could lead to an alternative theory that negates the need for geostrophic flow and the Coriolis effect.

Sandokhan. I don't have time right now to comb through your rather extensive list of pseudo-scientific papers. However, I would like to point out several things.

1. Once again, you are completely ignoring the topic of conversation, and spamming the thread with your vaguely-related theories. Why can't you stay on topic?
2. The Sagnac effect is completely compatible with relativity.
3. Why do you think it is necessary for satellites to take into account the orbital Sagnac effect? Have you bothered calculating the magnitude of this effect? What was it?
4. How do you know they don't take it into effect? I certainly have no idea if they do or not. Have you seen their source code?

THE LATEST VIEWPOINT in cosmology today is this: MLET (Modified Lorentz Ether Theory).

THIS IS THE LAST STAND of the RE scientists.

5. I normally hesitate to call people liars (ignorance is usually a better explanation), but this is just a flat out lie. I have never heard of anybody giving any credence to such a theory. Googling "modified lorentz ether theory" comes up with just a few mentions of some dude, "Ronald R Hatch", who seems to generally be dismissed as a crackpot. Based on his theory, he predicted that LIGO would not detect gravitational waves. LIGO has since detected gravitational waves. I think it is safe to dismiss his theory.

You seem to be very confused.

This thread is about the spinning earth hypothesis.

As such, the orbital Sagnac effect fits exactly into the discussion.


You have no idea what you are talking about: how many times do you want me to prove you wrong?


The Sagnac effect DESTROYS relativity, no doubt about that.

You have already been given the references which detail the orbital Sagnac effect, it is greater, of course, than the rotational Sagnac effect.

It is completely missing from the GPS satellites recordings.



I always bring to everybody's attention the BEST bibliographical references.

Martin Ruderfer is one of the most eminent physicists of the 20th century: in 1961 he proved the first null result of ether drift theory.

Ron Hatch is an internationally renowned expert on GPS satellite technology: people resort to calling him a crackpot ONLY when he brings up the Ruderfer experiment, which cannot be denied.

Have you forgotten that Kepler FAKED his entire Nova Astronomia?

Have you forgotten the quotes from Newton which detail the ether pressure theory?

Have you forgotten how Einstein faked his data on the 1919/1922 eclipses?

Who then is a crackpot?

There were no gravitational waves discovered whatsoever at Ligo, do not kid yourself.

Gravitational waves were discovered in full in 1911 by Dr. T. Henry Moray, for your information.


Do you understand where you are and what is being discussed here?

The GPS satellites constitute a large scale spinning Mossbauer experiment.

Since the orbital Sagnac effect is not recorded, they immediately fulfill the hypotheses of the Ruderfer experiment.

Moreover, the GPS clocks are not recording the Sun's gravitational potential effect, which throws heliocentricity out the window immediately.

Do your homework before you post something.

Of course prediction is not impossible on a globe model
It should be, that's the whole point. If the key underlying factor to the calculations is non-existent, how on earth is a prediction meant to be made?

Is it 100% accurate.   Would you consider the Coriolis frequency to be the root of all equations in which you are speaking about.

@sandokhan - another blatant ignoring me, your claims are proven wrong, very easily may I add

@djhives - another unwilling to reply, satellites are 100% REAL, they've been photographed by amateurs, i've seen them with the naked eye
- i also explained, very simply, why satellites are lit when a 747 at night isn't, are you not embarrassed by your questions?

I know this site is full of flat earth beginners who've done next to no cross examination, but at least most THINK about the questions before asking them

It's not 100% accurate because the equations in question can't be properly solved with currently knowledge. (Seriously, you can get a million dollars for proving they even have a unique solution, they're advanced). The approximations made, however, are remarkable accurate in the short term before the error adds up.
The Coriolis force is the only cause of geostrophic flow; without that term the rotational motion we observe could not possibly enter into the equations under known rules of fluid dynamics.

The Sagnac effect DESTROYS relativity, no doubt about that.

You have already been given the references which detail the orbital Sagnac effect, it is greater, of course, than the rotational Sagnac effect.

It is completely missing from the GPS satellites recordings.

A quick glance at this paper (http://areeweb.polito.it/ricerca/relgrav/solciclos/ashby_d.pdf) shows that the Sagnac effect is calculated based on a rotation rate of 7.2921151247 x 10-5 rad/s. This is the rotation rate of the earth with respect to the stars, not the sun. This takes into account both the rotation of the earth relative to the sun, and the rotation of the earth due to the orbit of the sun. There is no need for a separate "orbital Sagnac effect" calculation.

It's definitely a vague topic. The OP was asking for evidence that we live on a spinning ball. Numerous points were brought up. Instead of addressing any of those points, you brought up one of your own talking points, which was not evidence for a spinning ball. By all means, present your arguments.

Title: Re: Does ANYONE have ANY evidence that we live on a spinning ball?
Post by: sandokhan on August 28, 2016, 12:08:53 AM
You lack the most basic knowledge of astrophysics.

http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2002/JasonAtkins.shtml

If we multiply, as an example, this value by the Earth's equatorial radius we will of course get an equatorial speed of 465.1 m/s, 1,674.4 km/h or 1,040.4 mph.

However, the orbital speed of the Earth around the Sun is some 30 km/s.

TWO DIFFERENT MOTIONS: the GPS satellites must incorporate both the rotational Sagnac effect AND the orbital Sagnac effect.

The second effect, the orbital Sagnac effect IS NOT recorded.


In GPS the actual magnitude of the Sagnac correction
due to earth’s rotation depends on the positions of
satellites and receiver and a typical value is 30 m, as the
propagation time is about 0.1s and the linear speed due
to earth’s rotation is about 464 m/s at the equator. The
GPS provides an accuracy of about 10 m or better in positioning.
Thus the precision of GPS will be degraded significantly,
if the Sagnac correction due to earth’s rotation
is not taken into account.
On the other hand, the orbital
motion of the earth around the sun has a linear speed of
about 30 km/s which is about 100 times that of earth’s
rotation.
Thus the present high-precision GPS would be
entirely impossible if the omitted correction due to orbital
motion is really necessary.


In an intercontinental microwave link between Japan and
the USA via a geostationary satellite as relay, the influence
of earth’s rotation is also demonstrated in a high-precision
time comparison between the atomic clocks at two remote
ground stations.
In this transpacific-link experiment, a synchronization
error of as large as about 0.3 µs was observed unexpectedly.


Meanwhile, as in GPS, no effects of earth’s orbital motion
are reported in these links, although they would be
easier to observe if they are in existence.
Thereby, it is evident
that the wave propagation in GPS or the intercontinental
microwave link depends on the earth’s rotation, but
is entirely independent of earth’s orbital motion around
the sun or whatever. As a consequence, the propagation
mechanism in GPS or intercontinental link can be viewed
as classical in conjunction with an ECI frame, rather than
the ECEF or any other frame, being selected as the unique
propagation frame. In other words, the wave in GPS or the
intercontinental microwave link can be viewed as propagating
via a classical medium stationary in a geocentric
inertial frame.


http://qem.ee.nthu.edu.tw/f1a.pdf


Why is there no requirement for a Sagnac correction due to the earth’s orbital motion? Like the transit time in the spinning Mossbauer experiments, any such effect would be completely canceled by the orbital-velocity effect on the satellite clocks.

However, indirectly, the counteracting effects of the transit time and clock slowing induced biases indicate that an ether drift is present. This is because there is independent evidence that clocks are slowed as a result of their speed. Thus,
ether drift must exist or else the clock slowing effect would be observed.



The fact that the orbital Sagnac effect is not recorded by GPS satellites is a basic assertion of modern physics.

For you to state something like this: "There is no need for a separate "orbital Sagnac effect" calculation." means you haven't got a clue as to the subject we are discussing here.


As for Neil Ashby, here are two papers detailing the terrible errors committed by Ashby:


http://www.tuks.nl/pdf/Reference_Material/Ronald_Hatch/Hatch-Clock_Behavior_and_theSearch_for_an_Underlying_Mechanism_for_Relativistic_Phenomena_2002.pdf


http://www.tuks.nl/pdf/Reference_Material/Ronald_Hatch/Hatch-Relativity_and_GPS-II_1995.pdf


And things don't stop here.

In addition to the fact that GPS satellites do not record the orbital Sagnac effect, we have an even greater problem: the GPS clocks DO NOT RECORD the Sun's gravitational potential.

It is assumed that the orbital velocity of the Earth as it orbits the Sun is a variable; however, the GPS clocks show that the this velocity MUST BE CONSTANT, as it does not record the Sun's gravitational potential effect upon these clocks.

You sound very delusional totes.

The subject matter belongs entirely here: do we live on a spinning ball?

Your useless thread has been reported as such.


The Sagnac Effect arises from the different relative velocities of the satellite and the earth's surface. The rotation of the earth affects this. The linear velocity of the system as a whole does NOT affect this.

If you want to live in a universe of your own making, a fantasy world, then go ahead and do so.

In this universe, there are TWO Sagnac effects: the rotational Sagnac effect (which is being recorded) and the orbital Sagnac effect which is not.


Do you understand basic English and basic physics?


How many references do I have to post here to make you understand this basic fact of physics?

The orbital Sagnac IS NOT being recorded by GPS satellites.

If you do not understand the subject, which is plainly evident from your messages, then by all means do your homework:

The sun is close, somewhere around 3k miles away from the earth and rotates around in a circle of the motionless earth beneath your feet.  As the sun moves away from you it recedes into the distance (sunset)  and appears to converge with the horizon at the apex of your perspective, different phenomena  occur such as the sun's colors, size, and effects of light due to many factors in the increased density of air, humidity, gases, etc  close to the earths surface. Very simple.

Many times it does not stay the same size,  there are videos online showing the sun receding and decreasing 500% or more in size.  Other times, it looks to increase size at the horizon due the effect of light (source) from a distance appearing larger than it is, somewhat like car lights further away appearing larger than headlights close to you. It does not actually go underneath the horizon, this is a problem with our perspective.

It just happens and no one ever thinks about it. But I really would like to see how it works on flat earth model and if I even can somehow observe it with things in hand. Like lamp and table and some clouds made of cotton. I am quite frustrated with my inablity to imagine this thing.
Nothing yet? Very simple thing but absolutely no ideas how it may work in FE model.

The sun is close, somewhere around 3k miles away from the earth and rotates around in a circle of the motionless earth beneath your feet.  As the sun moves away from you it recedes into the distance (sunset)  and appears to converge with the horizon at the apex of your perspective, different phenomena  occur such as the sun's colors, size, and effects of light due to many factors in the increased density of air, humidity, gases, etc  close to the earths surface. Very simple.
  So, you are unable to draw simple picture for demonstration purposes how light moves from sun to the place where observer is so that it makes sense? To the underside of the clouds or to the upper part of clouds. Or some demonstration video... table, lamp, cotton clouds? You can make even the dumbest person to understand when you use visualization and not just some vague explanations like - different phenomena. Which doesn't say or explain anything.

Unwilling. If you want to know more information about how light can work in the atmosphere on a FE I can point you to about a dozen threads here debating the topic to nausium.  Do you have any verifiable evidence to prove we live on a globe?

I have yet to find a single verifiable proof of this anywhere.

Would you like me to prove that it is a ball first, or that it is spinning first? Take your pick. Generally it is a lot easier to prove that it is a ball first, then spinning second. I like a good challenge though.
Whatever you shape shifting reptiles think is best  :D

Alrighty, I'll start with the shape first. Maybe I'll do it in the reverse order some other time.

The existence of the South Celestial Pole proves the earth is round. (https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=67769.0)

The angle of the sun in the sky proves the earth is round, and that the sun is very far away. (https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=67783.0)

This should be enough to start with.

If the sun were 93 million miiles away, there would be no fluctuation in temperature during the daytime.

  Debating... but no one can figure such a simple thing like out how light moves during sunset. Why? Take a pen and paper. Draw sun to some far corner of the paper and start drawing. Can't even do that? First step is to visualize how things are outside and then we can look at it and start thinking. Hmm, how is this kind of situation possible? And sure, I have verifiable evidence that we live on a globe and all of them are discussed in this forum so I point you(like you pointed) some hundreds of threads here where they are/were discussed.

I have seen a full moon during the day, and so have many others. If you say it's not full only 99% so what, I want you to draw me a picture of how a 99% full moon appears during the day.

Your link doesn't talk about the issue but links to another page. Let me post this complete bullshit for you:

"It’s only as the Moon gets close to its quarter phases that the conditions are ideal for it to be seen during the day. That is, it is bright enough, far enough away from the Sun to be seen, and rises or sets during daylight hours. When all of these conditions come together, and when the sky is clear enough, the Moon becomes visible during the daytime."

Well, I did the math, and the moon would need to be 1.05 degrees away from a full moon for someone to see it in the day. So it would be 179/180ths of a full moon. Or 99.5% of a full moon. Illustration down below (NOT TO SCALE)

I would say the video is proper.
It clearly shows the same size of the Sun all the time.
And the sinking of the Sun behind the horizon.

Like in this one:
Sweden (http://)
or this one:
Africa (http://)

But the best is to see it for yourself, outside.
(Looking at the Sun directly with naked eye can be dangerous...)

The easiest way is to get cheap welding mask from Lowe's (wearable is better than hand-held), a calliper,
and some ruler or stick to keep your callliper at same distance from dark glass of the mask.

Then measure vertical and horizontal size of the Sun the whole day and see it is not changing.

Bullshit. That's a useless filter. Seriously, it's probably the worst I have ever seen. Underexposing would do a better job. Get a proper filter. Also, it's still the same size, just slightly different shape, due to refraction.

Their position moves. It's a well known property of waves. Sound waves can do it too.

And it cannot apply to the sun since there is only one sun.

The sun is not 92.96 million miles away



And why do you say the "sun is not 92.96 million miles away"? Have you measured it? Others have!

I never said that.  There are 1000's of problems with the globe earth model which is why this forum exists.  Anyway,  here is the [not new] problem I have with the moon and the globe earth.

I've seen this for myself where the moon is full (99%) and is at least 20degrees above the horizon during the day.  Look at this photo, and there are many more like it, which from what I understand, should be impossible, because the moon should never appear to the observer at any point as even close to being full (during the day). 


But it does exist...

Here is a to-scale diagram. This should portray how narrow the earth's shadow is compared to the size of the moon's orbit. Also, keep in mind that the moon's orbit is inclined by 5 degrees relative to the earth and the sun. This is portrayed by the "inclination band" in the image. The moon usually passes slightly above or below earth's shadow due to this inclination.

When is there a full moon during the day?
Right at the time of a full moon, both the moon and the sun can be seen for a few minutes at sunset or sunrise.

As well as that, one day either side of the full moon, to many people it looks "near enough" to being full, so an "almost full" moon can be seen for about 40 minutes before sunset or about 40 minutes after sunrise.

In the latter case, the moon is, of course, not really full, it just looks "near enough".

It should be realised that we never see a perfect full moon as that would imply perfect alignment of the sun, earth and moon, giving us a total lunar eclipse.

Why would that be impossible?  It is not completely full.  It is not completely circular.  It appears to be about 97-98% full.  Zoom in and you can see that.  Maybe someone else can overlay a circle on it to show it better.  I zoomed in and measured it to be 185-186 pixels wide and 182 pixels top to bottom.

As you can see, it is not a full moon. Also, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the dark side is facing towards the horizon, exactly as we would expect on a near-full moon during dusk.

If that is in fact a 188x188 pixel square then that is NOT a circle as it does not touch the top and bottom of the square while it does touch the sides.  That makes it an ellipse and NOT full.

That is interesting, but if you notice origamiscienceguy's circle doesn't follow the moon, and the circle does not fit in the square at all.  I don't think the moon is a perfect sphere.  Its a little squishier at the poles and a little chubbier along the mid section...oh wait, what am I saying??

The Moon has an equatorial radius of 1,738.1 km and a polar radius of 1,736.0 km so it is not a perfect sphere but not by enough to tell in a picture of this size or by the naked eye. 

You are still wrong and the moon in the pic is still not full (your own drawing proves it and origamiscienceguy's drawing proved it) and not 99.8% full either.  But thanks for proving the old adage that most statistics are made up on the spot.

You've altered it somehow.  As already mentioned, I measured before and top to bottom was 182 pixels.  So the question now becomes why you feel the need to be deceptive, first by claiming an obvious non-circle is a circle and then by altering the image.  I zoomed in on this one and measured and while it is 187 top to bottom, it is 183 side to side.  You altered it and screwed up.  Just can't admit when you're wrong, can you?

Now you are a liar.  I invite everyone to download this image and "multiply" them together.

In fact, draw a 187x187 square around the moon, then draw a circle using the shift key.  It works. Period.

100% full moon, 100% busted.

So I took you up on your challenge... it doesn't work. It doesn't fit nicely in a 187x187 circle. Your circle overlaps the left and right edges of the moon by a few pixels, and leaves a few pixels of space in the vertical direction. Nice attempt at fudging it.

My best measurement shows that it is about 5 pixels wider than it is tall. The bottom left edge is quite obviously blurrier than the rest of the moon, indicating that it is NOT in fact a perfectly 100% full moon.

frenat and origamiscience: I see no evidence of him stretching or otherwise altering the image, except for the outline he overlayed on top. Be careful about false accusations.

Edit: The slight deviation from a perfect circle could very easily be due to either the shape of the camera sensor or refraction. 5 pixels isn't very definitive. The more telling sign that it isn't a perfectly full moon is the blurry bottom left edge.

The argue about this photo is astonishing.

You can't clearly tell if this is a full moon, or just 98-99% of the moon with bottom left part partially in shadow. That 1-2% can make 1 day difference in moon positioning w.r.t. the EArth, which can lead to 12 degrees difference on the sky. Furthermore, since the moon is ~30' in diameter and it is ~1 degree from the top of the moon to the top of the mountain. I guess since the moon is quite larg, there is a large amount of zoom applied and the tip of the mountain is probably not higher than 5 degrees (10 degrees would be an insane value).

Summing up, this photo is possible to make on a globe.

Also, it is theoretically possible to have a perfectly full moon when both the sun and moon are sitting on opposite sides of the horizon. For someone 90 degrees of latitude away, they would view the moon as being straight "up", and would have their POV shifted by half the angular diameter of the earth from the moon (0.92 degrees).

(1+cos(0.92 degrees)) / 2 = 0.99994

That's a 0.006% reduction in width. Good luck measuring such a small change, Silicon.

Maybe this nonsense works for most people but according to your own globe earth model the below image should be impossible.

  Its been clear that you are in error and that situation is possible in round earth. What makes me confused is that why you nitpick about things you don't understand and try to prove that things are not possible on round earth. If your earth is flat then you should start figuring out how things are possible on flat earth not how they are impossible on round. You still can't put on paper how light moves during sunset and there are many-many things which are questionable on FE model. So, why don't you be helpful to FE community and start figuring out things about your flat earth and stop wasting your time disproving round earth stuff. Because even disproving something or showing that somemthing is not 100% accurate doesn't prove automatically that earth is flat.

Really?  Do you ever think what you are saying?

On the Flat Earth the moon is supposedly always about 3,000 miles high, so there is no way the moon can ever appear near the horizon.

Silicon, this proves beyond reasonable doubt that you KNOW the Earth is Globe.

If you were sure that the Earth is Flat, you would look for real proof.

You wouldn't twist the fasts. You would think it is not necessary.

~~~~~

If Moon was 3000 miles above Flat Earth ground,
should be 17 000 miles away to get at 10 degrees above horizon,
and be 35 000 miles away to be at 5 degrees above the horizon..

It can actually not be "proven" that earth is spinning. All phenomena associated with the earth spin, Coriolis and centrifugal force included, can be explained otherwise, too. If you do not believe me, please google "Lense-Thirring-Effect"

??

From wiki

"In general relativity, Lense–Thirring precession or the Lense–Thirring effect (named after Josef Lense and Hans Thirring) is a relativistic correction to the precession of a gyroscope near a large rotating mass such as the Earth."

So:

1.  What large rotating mass is near our gyroscopes?

2. If the Earth is a gyroscope near the Sun then it is spinning

Picture was changed by Silicon.


NASA never enhaces photos?

Enhance =!= changing to prove an invalid point.

You mean, like when NASA stiches a bunch of pics into a circular shape and you people jump around proclaiming proof of a ball?

Why should the moon appear a pefect circle when your own roundly scientists agree it is not a perfect sphere?

Just possibly because "the equatorial diameter of the Moon is 3,476.28 km" and "the polar diameter of the Moon is 3,471.94 km" or about 0.1% off spherical.

Are you really going to notice 1 part in 1,000 out of round?

Now you use the fact that one nutter changes the shape of the moon to prove that the earth is flat, as evidence that all pictures ever taken from the Earth are faked.

This is totally absurd. Even for FE this is absurd.

He is deperate.
He would like to force everyone to believe what Flatties say,
and disregard wat people see around in reality.

He would love to forbid people going to Moon again,
just to prevent any further proof that they were already there.

With so many ongoing projects by space agencies all around the world
space colonization is just a matter of time.

We could let flatties dream while they can, (if they wouldn't drag more naive, vulnerable kids into it).

It won't last long.

Guy on FE forum fakes a picture. Unmasked within minutes.

One million pictures of the Earth, live satellite feeds, pictures taken from probes, space ships, the surface of the moon...

All that. Not a shred of evidence that ANY of it is faked.

But somehow this one little petty man on the FE forum with his bad MS pain skills just proves that all those real pictures should be considered fake?

The person responsible for the manipulation, Emily Lakdawalla, told a forum of excitable theorists that she made the changes because of the way Cassini takes photos.
"Cassini takes colour pictures by snapping three sequential photos through red, green, and blue filters," she said.
"In the time that separated the three frames, Dione moved, so if I did a simple color composite I would be able to make Titan look right, but not Dione; or Dione look right, but not Titan.
"So I aligned Dione, cut it out, and then aligned Titan, and then had to account for the missing bits of shadow where the bits of Dione had been in two of the three channels."



As we have cleared that out, next image please.

Since jroa can't back up his claim with even a single picture, he has once again lost.

He doesn't care, though. In his mind running away while shouting insults is the same as winning.

frenat and origamiscience: I see no evidence of him stretching or otherwise altering the image, except for the outline he overlayed on top. Be careful about false accusations.



Omega, and others, at least one of your round earth counterparts has some dignity.  I would advise that you stop claiming that I faked anything and do some work on your own for a chance, and see for yourself.

I know it hurts when the globe model is wrong and you have to resort to these tactics, but they don't work forever.  In fact we're going to the next image.  What is your excuse for this full moon during the day? 

So no pictures of a full moon at noon?

None (so far).  I think this full moon at 20+ degrees above the horizon will do
Strange, I thought all full moons would make it over 20 degrees.

During the daytime?
No. You didn't say anything about time of day.

Now I see why you asked me that.  Apparently the image in question was taken at 12:00PM on 8/11/2014

No. It's faking evidence if you, you know, fake evidence.

If I have a great picture of the Earth and it would look even better on the cover of a magazine if I enhance the color, I am not tricking people in believing something that is not true.

Altering a picture of the Moon to make it look like it is full when it really is not, to prove that the earth is flat, is faking evidence.

They all can but as already explained, the atmosphere already allows for the sun and full moon to be seen at same time. It's always either at sun rise or sun set.  You will never see a full moon at noon.

 Sure it is, you just refuse to listen and understand. And why you waste time with this when your flat earth puzzle is spread around room and there are no two pieces that would fit togeter correctly. You still fail to even imagine for yourself how can sunlight behave at sunset as it behaves. Try to put some pieces together on your flat earth puzzle and leave the round earth which you cleary don't comprehed alone.

Not pear shaped. Spheroid. Ever so slightly flattened at the top and bottom.

As for evidence the Earth is round:

Watch a ship disappear behind the horizon.
Watch the sunset.
See how the stars seem to rotate around Polaris
See how the stars are different above and below the equator
See how the moon is 'flipped' when watched above or below the equator

Oh yeah, and of course the millions of pictures.

"Watch a ship disappear behind the horizon."   Doesn't happen as has been demonstrated in countless threads here, and in this one as well.
"Watch the sunset."  Earlier in this thread I posted a video showing how the sun's diameter changes
"See how the stars seem to rotate around Polaris" - This is really worse for the globe model
"See how the moon is 'flipped' when watched above or below the equator"  This is a problem for the globe as well, plus its assumed the moon is a floating rock in space
"Oh yeah, and of course the millions of pictures."  All openly manipulated "composites"

Anything else?

It is a truly unbreakable debating technique. Simply deny anything you dont like. You can't lose! Of course, your entire life is probably a loss, but you sure cant lose a debate when you make or break any and all rules.

Well, I've provided evidence and its just denied, or shrugged off like whatever. So, same back to the collective you.

1. Go back and read my post in this thread concerning the fence riding double speak on this issue.
2. Do you mind giving a hint on what that would be exactly?
3. The earth is revolving, then revolving around the sun, which is revolving around the galaxy, which is revolving around a supper-massive black hole.  The speed and distances at which this is all supposedly happening is just appalling. However polaris is stuck aligned at the north pole for centuries.  Just no.
4.  Don't think so, maybe by the time this thread is done I will have a theory to share with proof. I know you like proof.

all the stars we see with the naked eye are not only within our galaxy but within a relatively small part of our galaxy that is moving with us so the movement of the galaxy itself is irrelevant.  The distances involved are still far enough that the movement around the sun is not noticeable.

He is deperate.
He would like to force everyone to believe what Flatties say,
and disregard wat people see around in reality.

He would love to forbid people going to Moon again,
just to prevent any further proof that they were already there.

With so many ongoing projects by space agencies all around the world
space colonization is just a matter of time.

We could let flatties dream while they can, (if they wouldn't drag more naive, vulnerable kids into it).

It won't last long.


Sounds like someone trying to not look like a loser.  Keep it up, and maybe you will convince someone.

Who to convince and why?

You see, when I wrote this and left for work, at my way there I remembered one thing:

Flat Earthers were also naive and vulnerable kids. We can't abandon them.

If there was incoming disaster and space ships were ready to take us away from death,
I would tie you and took you with me despite your disbelief and resistance to go.
I wouldn't let you die.

Right now I'm having a traces of second thoughts...  :)

(http://www.overlandingfamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Salar-de-Uyuni-the-moon-at-sunrise-2.jpg)

First, let's try to estimate how high above the horizon the moon is in this image. From the image meta-data:

Camera: Sony DSLR-A100
Focal Length: 135mm
Date: 2014-08-11 12:00:53 (Based on the shadows, this was clearly not taken at noon or midnight. Probably a timezone issue.)

Google search reveals that the DSLR-A100 has a sensor size of 23.6mm x 15.8mm. This allows us to calculate the maximum angular size of the image:

2*arctan((23.6/2)/135) = 10 degrees

10 degrees is the maximum angular width of the photo in the vertical direction. We can now get a rough approximation of the elevation of the moon. I measured 1227 pixels between the moon and the horizon:

10 degrees * (1227 px / 3872 px) = 3.2 degrees

This is a far cry from your estimated 20 degrees. Now, let's calculate the maximum width of the moon assuming the sun is on the horizon:

(1+cos(3.2 degrees))/2 = 0.9992

That's a 0.08% decrease in width. This corresponds to 0.2 pixels in the above image. So no, this image does not constitute evidence against the earth being round. Also, once again, you can clearly see the bottom left edge of the moon is more blurry than the other edges.

@Silicon: In the future, you should probably go through this same process to see if your images actually constitute valid evidence, rather than just guessing.

@Omega: There is no evidence that Silicon altered the image of the moon. Stop accusing him of such. He merely tried to pass off his overlay as more fitting than it actually was.

"Watch a ship disappear behind the horizon."   Doesn't happen as has been demonstrated in countless threads here, and in this one as well.

You are not recommending people to go out and see in reality.
Why?
Because you hope you can demonstrate anything you want in pixels.
But even in pixels it will be exposed sooner or later.
You felt that on your own skin.

Looks like you have never been at sea yourself.
And looks like you hope your victims weren't either.

"Watch the sunset."  Earlier in this thread I posted a video showing how the sun's diameter changes

Unfortunately for you, everyone can use welding mask and calliper and disprove your video, by measuring THE REAL SUN.

"See how the stars seem to rotate around Polaris" - This is really worse for the globe model

Then why completely different stars and constellations rotate in opposite direction around South Celestial Pole?

"See how the moon is 'flipped' when watched above or below the equator"  This is a problem for the globe as well, plus its assumed the moon is a floating rock in space

If the Moon is disc, then while from one part of the world is seen as circle,
from every other part of the world would be seen as ellipse.
So, the Moon isn't disc.
It is sphere.

If the Moon is near, then from different parts of the world people would see different faces
of the Moon, not same face rotated in a different way.

Conclusion:

Observer is rotated at different latitudes, not the Moon itself.
Two verticals 690 miles apart are tilted one from another by 10 degrees.

Moon is roughly 380 000 kilometers away and has diameter roughly 3 400 kilometers.

"Oh yeah, and of course the millions of pictures."  All openly manipulated "composites"

They were not published to simply prove something.
They were published to be useful.
Composite image of part of Earth's surface will be more precise in every fragment
if that fragment was recorded perpendicularly itself.
You can't take picture of so many parts perpendicularly all together on curved surface.


Anything else?

Yes.

During sunrise and sunset, horizon casts shadow on mountain sides and tall buildings.
During sunset that shadow crawls up.
During sunrise that shadow crawls down.

Is it possible for horizon to cast shadow if the Sun is "still 3000 miles above the ground" ?

You are wrong.

If the Moon has angular diameter of 0.5 degrees,
and below Moon we can fit four more until horizon,
then we have 4 X 0.5 + 0.25 = 2.25.

Your 3.2 is too much. Camera metadata didn't take in account that image could be cropped.

First of all, I'm an idiot. That's a way easier way to estimate the elevation of the moon. Good job.

Second of all, I was actually measuring from the edge of the water salt flats, which comes out to 5 moon widths = 2.5 degrees. I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Third of all, I did say it was a rough approximation. For most photos, the angular width between two objects in the photo is not directly proportional to the pixels between them. It's just a projection, after all. Your method suffers from the same flaw, so I'm not sure whose method is more accurate. That being said, I am inclined to trust your method more, since mine relies on the focal length and sensor size being correct as reported by the metadata and google.

Either way, it doesn't really matter. 3.2 degrees or 2.25 degrees is way too small to detect in this type of photo.

Edit: That isn't water is it? Looks like salt flats. Oops.

Look, I appreciate the effort and you gave some great ideas to generate proofs,  I will do this next time.  You were also honest about that image which is good.  You sir are a top 1 percenter.

But just fyi most spec sheets give a angle of view for the camera and this one happens to be 76 degrees.

That probably assumes you are zoomed out. The field of view will change depending on the focal length. The metadata reports 135mm focal length, which means there is some significant zoom happening. Also, see Spjunk's post at an alternative method of estimating the angular distance which doesn't rely on focal length. He got an even smaller angle than me.

Also also, they are probably calculating the diagonal field of view, not the vertical field of view. The site reports minimum focal length of 18mm for standard lens.

sqrt(23.62 + 15.82) = 28.4 mm (diagonal sensor size)

2*arctan((28.4mm/2)/18mm) = 76.5 degrees field of view

Math checks out. Sorry bud. 76 degrees is the zoomed out FOV. The FOV in the image you posted was only 10 degrees in the vertical direction.

Right, thats why I edited the post saying whoops, looking for the correct one and its 18 degrees for that zoom.  Anyway, I will check the rest of your proof, and get back to you.

Good job, the moon is most likely 3.2 degrees above the horizon in this picture.

(http://i.imgur.com/uEZkcUQ.png)
5 more moons will fit between the real position and the horizon. Taking small errors to account plus the fact the Moon is only ~32' in diameter, that gives no more than 4 degrees above the horizon. The visibility of such Moon at such angle is perfectly consistent with the globe.

@silicon, @djhives. I don't have very good imagination and as you argue flat earth but have not yet covered sunset thing then maybe you can help. Or even sandokhan as he puts up wall of texts but I quite haven't seen this topic came up from him.  Can anyone please draw me picture how light moves from sun to the observer at sunset. Observer stands at twilight zone and clouds above his head are illuminated. Is it possible to draw it?

Is this the one where clouds are lit from underneath at sunset
Underneath and when not underneath then big cumulus clouds so that lower part is clearly in shadow and upper part is illuminated by sunlight. Something like that http://weatherpix.photoshelter.com/image/I00006R4L.JUlOQg

I really don't know where to start with this, light and our perception, in a situation as you have shown in this picture with no frame of reference, is so convoluted how does this prove anything
I don't quite want to prove anything. Its just that in round earth model it is explained very simply but no one has ever given any simple explanation in flat earth model. It just happens and no one ever thinks about it. But I really would like to see how it works on flat earth model and if I even can somehow observe it with things in hand. Like lamp and table and some clouds made of cotton. I am quite frustrated with my inablity to imagine this thing.
Nothing yet? Very simple thing but absolutely no ideas how it may work in FE model.

The sun is close, somewhere around 3k miles away from the earth and rotates around in a circle of the motionless earth beneath your feet.  As the sun moves away from you it recedes into the distance (sunset)  and appears to converge with the horizon at the apex of your perspective, different phenomena  occur such as the sun's colors, size, and effects of light due to many factors in the increased density of air, humidity, gases, etc  close to the earths surface. Very simple.
Did you notice how you didn't actually explain the colors, size etc?  You just said due to many factors.  Also the sun doesn't get smaller and converge with the horizon, which is what it would do in your model, it stays the same size and shape, if it were physically moving away it would not do this.  Then it moves under the horizon, still staying the same size and shape.  It's light, now blocked by the horizon still reaches the tops of mountains and underside of clouds, until it eventually moves beyond even that.  These things would not be possible with your model it think.  And this is easily demonstrated.  You can do it yourself with a ball and flashlight.  Show me exactly how that would work in your model.

Their position moves. It's a well known property of waves. Sound waves can do it too.

And it cannot apply to the sun since there is only one sun.

The sun is not 92.96 million miles away


Interesting.  Notice how it doesn't get smaller as it moves towards the horizon, like you would expect it to.  Notice how it drops below the horizon, with line of the horizon clearly visible as it goes beyond it?  It wouldn't do that I'd the earth was flat.  Thanks, your video clearly shows what would happen at sunset on a round earth.

Air density, refraction, elevation, reflection - All of these things have to do with light and its effects on your view of how the sun operates. This has been shown dozens of times here.  On youtube there are many of videos showing very simply how this operates using ball and flashlight type objects. 

Do you have any proof we live on a ball?  Didn't think so. Move along now

So, "perspective is lagging", and eats sun from below, slowly, layer by layer?
Meanwhile Sun keeps width unchanged?
"Lensing" keeps the size of Sun constant all day, but doesn't keep the size of gap below the Sun?
Why, if the Sun and the gap are together, at the very same place?

How refraction operates is clear:
Sun sinks behind horizon.

Thats nice.  I have a question. If I could prove Stellarium was wrong (beyond any reasonable doubt) in a similar situation, would it matter? Do you believe Stellarium is a perfect representation of the globe model? If it were wrong by say 5 degrees of suns position below.near.above the horizon at a specific time would it matter?  How much would it matter? What would that mean?

Quite simple, really.  If you ever check out a moonrise, moonset calculator, you may notice that as a general rule of thumb, the full moon generally rises sometime around 6:00 PM local time and generally sets sometime around 6:00 AM local time.  Depending on the time of year, it's perfectly reasonable to expect to see a full moon during early morning or late evening daylight hours.

Air density, refraction, elevation, reflection - All of these things have to do with light and its effects on your view of how the sun operates. This has been shown dozens of times here. 

Yes, all those things "have to do with light". Luckily, we know pretty much exactly how they affect the path of light.

Reflection: Straightforward. Light bounces off stuff at a specific angle.
Elevation: Straightforward. Less stuff can get in the way if you are higher up.
Refraction: Little more complicated. Stuff like density and temperature can cause light to bend slightly.

Given these tools, give us a diagram of how light moves between the sun and our eyes as it sets. You can even make the light bend a little if you can give a plausible explanation as to why it bends. If this is as simple as you say, it should be easy! I have NEVER seen anyone explain this in my entire time on this site. (I have been lurking a lot longer than I have had an account.)

Feel free to post one of those videos demonstrating how it works. Fair warning: if they have the camera UNDERNEATH the table that they slide the ball across, like this one (http://), I will roll my eyes quite vigorously.

You claim it is about 20 degrees over the horizon. It isn't.

5 more moons will fit between the real position and the horizon. Taking small errors to account plus the fact the Moon is only ~32' in diameter, that gives no more than 4 degrees above the horizon. The visibility of such Moon at such angle is perfectly consistent with the globe.

Thats nice.  I have a question. If I could prove Stellarium was wrong (beyond any reasonable doubt) in a similar situation, would it matter? Do you believe Stellarium is a perfect representation of the globe model? If it were wrong by say 5 degrees of suns position below.near.above the horizon at a specific time would it matter?  How much would it matter? What would that mean?

Of course Stellarium is not a perfect representation of the globe. Like any model, it makes certain assumptions. For example, it can't simulate refraction perfectly (https://sites.google.com/site/stellariumuserguide/sky-and-viewing-options#TOC-Refraction-Extinction-Settings), since it can't possibly know the exact weather conditions. It is generally very, very close though, depending on how accurate your input is.

If Stellarium was wrong by 5 degrees, that would certainly be interesting. I would be curious as to what the cause is. Bug? Bad input? Ridiculously wacky weather conditions? The earth is flat after all? Considering the gigantic preponderance of evidence that the earth, isn't flat, I highly doubt the latter.

I've never used Stellarium so I have no idea how acccurate it is.

But such a program making 5 degree error sounds ridicuous and unacceptable for such a "simple" motion. Why? Because 5 degrees in difference can change early sunset to dark sky in vice versa.

"Air density" variation is simply the cause of "refraction".
But refraction down to 15° is quite small, enough to bother an astronomer, but you would never see it.
Even within a few degrees of the horizon refraction normally makes objects appear a little higher (typically about 0.6°).

Of course, occasionally there are both superior (objects appear higher) and inferior mirages (objects appear lower), but these are by means the norm.

There is no way refraction can explain normal sunset.

As to proof of a rotation earth,
have you looked at Marine Gyro-Compasses and Gyro-Theodolites - the both rely on the rotation to find true (not magnetic North).

Have a look at: Re: Laser level. « Reply #50 on: July 03, 2016, 05:04:24 PM » (https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=66974.msg1796108#msg1796108)

Gyro-Theodolites are real and used in long tunnels and mining when GPS or celestial fixes are not possible.

  There is exactly zero video on youtube which demonstrate how sunlight moves at sunset as observed outside. Zero. And you really have to be more specific how these effects affect how the sun operates not just throw these words around. You have failed multiple times to explain this very simple phenomenon.

Omega, and others, at least one of your round earth counterparts has some dignity.  I would advise that you stop claiming that I faked anything and do some work on your own for a chance, and see for yourself.

The predictability of eclipses is evidence of a spinning ball.

With our current understanding of the Moon's orbit, we can predict where and when a solar eclipse will be visible. The fact that our model can be used with such accuracy is evidence enough of roundness.

I have yet to see any FE MODEL that can predict when and where a solar eclipse will be visible.

Can your model explain a full moon during the day time? Maybe Zork can draw us a picture of how that works

all you need to do is actually LOOK at those photos, they fact there's no solid edge all around is all you need, its clearly NOT a full moon in any of the pics, the one above the sand is the closest, but that has already been fully explained (even though you're choosing to ignore the explanations, doesn't make them any less valid)

Your people are the ones claiming that photo manipulation = faking.  Perhaps you should all huddle together and get your stories straight?

The photo has not been faked, it's a compositon of different wavelenght photographs. It has never been claimed it wasn't post-processed.

I would say the same thing, if I was trying to pass a faked photo off as being real.

@silicon, @djhives. I don't have very good imagination and as you argue flat earth but have not yet covered sunset thing then maybe you can help. Or even sandokhan as he puts up wall of texts but I quite haven't seen this topic came up from him.  Can anyone please draw me picture how light moves from sun to the observer at sunset. Observer stands at twilight zone and clouds above his head are illuminated. Is it possible to draw it?

Is this the one where clouds are lit from underneath at sunset
Underneath and when not underneath then big cumulus clouds so that lower part is clearly in shadow and upper part is illuminated by sunlight. Something like that http://weatherpix.photoshelter.com/image/I00006R4L.JUlOQg

I really don't know where to start with this, light and our perception, in a situation as you have shown in this picture with no frame of reference, is so convoluted how does this prove anything
I don't quite want to prove anything. Its just that in round earth model it is explained very simply but no one has ever given any simple explanation in flat earth model. It just happens and no one ever thinks about it. But I really would like to see how it works on flat earth model and if I even can somehow observe it with things in hand. Like lamp and table and some clouds made of cotton. I am quite frustrated with my inablity to imagine this thing.
Nothing yet? Very simple thing but absolutely no ideas how it may work in FE model.

The sun is close, somewhere around 3k miles away from the earth and rotates around in a circle of the motionless earth beneath your feet.  As the sun moves away from you it recedes into the distance (sunset)  and appears to converge with the horizon at the apex of your perspective, different phenomena  occur such as the sun's colors, size, and effects of light due to many factors in the increased density of air, humidity, gases, etc  close to the earths surface. Very simple.
Did you notice how you didn't actually explain the colors, size etc?  You just said due to many factors.  Also the sun doesn't get smaller and converge with the horizon, which is what it would do in your model, it stays the same size and shape, if it were physically moving away it would not do this.  Then it moves under the horizon, still staying the same size and shape.  It's light, now blocked by the horizon still reaches the tops of mountains and underside of clouds, until it eventually moves beyond even that.  These things would not be possible with your model it think.  And this is easily demonstrated.  You can do it yourself with a ball and flashlight.  Show me exactly how that would work in your model.

Air density, refraction, elevation, reflection - All of these things have to do with light and its effects on your view of how the sun operates. This has been shown dozens of times here.  On youtube there are many of videos showing very simply how this operates using ball and flashlight type objects. 

Do you have any proof we live on a ball?  Didn't think so. Move along now
Tons of proof, you just seem to ignore it.  The fact is whether you're watching from a mountain top or at sea level.  Regardless of the atmospheric conditions the sun, seen as a circle, does not converge with the horizon, as you said, it visibly sinks below it, never changing its shape.  This is really only possible on a round earth.  I suppose you could,argue the sun is orbiting around us if you want, but still shows the earth to be round.

What is your excuse for this full moon during the day? 

(http://www.overlandingfamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Salar-de-Uyuni-the-moon-at-sunrise-2.jpg)

First, let's try to estimate how high above the horizon the moon is in this image. From the image meta-data:

Camera: Sony DSLR-A100
Focal Length: 135mm
Date: 2014-08-11 12:00:53 (Based on the shadows, this was clearly not taken at noon or midnight. Probably a timezone issue.)

Google search reveals that the DSLR-A100 has a sensor size of 23.6mm x 15.8mm. This allows us to calculate the maximum angular size of the image:

2*arctan((23.6/2)/135) = 10 degrees

10 degrees is the maximum angular width of the photo in the vertical direction. We can now get a rough approximation of the elevation of the moon. I measured 1227 pixels between the moon and the horizon:

10 degrees * (1227 px / 3872 px) = 3.2 degrees

This is a far cry from your estimated 20 degrees. Now, let's calculate the maximum width of the moon assuming the sun is on the horizon:

(1+cos(3.2 degrees))/2 = 0.9992

That's a 0.08% decrease in width. This corresponds to 0.2 pixels in the above image. So no, this image does not constitute evidence against the earth being round. Also, once again, you can clearly see the bottom left edge of the moon is more blurry than the other edges.

@Silicon: In the future, you should probably go through this same process to see if your images actually constitute valid evidence, rather than just guessing.

@Omega: There is no evidence that Silicon altered the image of the moon. Stop accusing him of such. He merely tried to pass off his overlay as more fitting than it actually was.

Look, I appreciate the effort and you gave some great ideas to generate proofs,  I will do this next time.  You were also honest about that image which is good.  You sir are a top 1 percenter.

But just fyi most spec sheets give a angle of view for the camera and this one happens to be 76 degrees.

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/438940-REG/Sony_DSLRA100K_Alpha_DSLR_A100_Digital_Camera.html

Edit: Whoops wrong one

Well no, not 76 degrees!

Well Mr Silicon, while you are fixing tour mistakes, you claim the "angle of view for the camera and this one happens to be 76 degrees", sure but at what focal length?

That is a DSLR with interchangeable lenses, so what lens? Do YOU know?

Well, it is easy to find out because the original photo has the jpeg EXIF data in it and that picture was taken at a focal length of 202 mm!
This makes the field of view about 6.8°(horiz on picture) x 9.9° (vert on picture).
So, care to revise your figures?

Have you found out exactly when (time AND date) that picture was taken yet? As I said before it matters a lot.

But please! Everything on that photo fits the globe, except for the uncertainty about whether it was taken one day after the full moon, because yo simply cannot tell just by looking.

Dude, we are WAY past this. He already admitted it wasn't 76 degrees.

Also, to clarify any confusion for others reading this, the 202mm focal length you used was the 35mm-equivalent focal length. You seemed to take that into account though, so no worries.

I haven't seen or don't remember that anyone mentioned such person as Giovanni Battista Guglielmini (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Battista_Guglielmini). Its interesting to know if there is exlpanation for results in his experiment and other similar experiment later (some of them are mentioned in https://books.google.com/books?id=VpFPDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA531&lpg=PA531#v=onepage&q&f=false ) on FE model. In short, balls were dropped straight down and most of them (as you can't totally eliminate balls own movement) landed not straight down but were deviated eastward. If the earth is still and doesn't rotate then balls dropping straight down should drop straight down not deviate to the east.
 EDIT: I thought that its useful to add reason why balls deviate. Its because place nearest to earth center moves slower than place farthest. The ball dropped at some high place (the top of tower or deep shaft) retains its velocity and should drop some distance at east of the drop site as lower place moves slower.

On the face of it that does not make any sense. If you let go of a ball it is already moving westwards with the rotation of the earth.

It's, again, like dropping a ball in a train moving at constant speed. It will drop straigh down relative to the observer in the train. For someone outside the train the ball appears to follow a diagonal path to the floor.

*facepalm* yes that is right! You are correct, I see that now.

I was still stuck on the image of a gun firing upwards. The upward bullet moves sideways at the same speed as the gunman.

But when you drop something from a tower, the top of the tower moves faster than the base of the tower.

I have yet to find a single verifiable proof of this anywhere.

Would you like me to prove that it is a ball first, or that it is spinning first? Take your pick. Generally it is a lot easier to prove that it is a ball first, then spinning second. I like a good challenge though.
Whatever you shape shifting reptiles think is best  :D

Alrighty, I'll start with the shape first. Maybe I'll do it in the reverse order some other time.

The existence of the South Celestial Pole proves the earth is round. (https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=67769.0)

The angle of the sun in the sky proves the earth is round, and that the sun is very far away. (https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=67783.0)

This should be enough to start with.

The existence of the South Celestial Pole proves the earth cannot be a ball in that same thread as sandokhan pointed out.  No proof here

Rabinoz's calculations for the circumference of the earth (The circumference can be calculated from (distance from Vaupes) * 360°/(angle difference of sun from Vaupes))  and based entirely on what I claim are fictitious globe numbers.  Also I see it could be possible the sun rises and falls in elevation on a flat earth. So no proof here either.
What was that? Like 4 posts.. I see in the language you use that your mind is set. Onone, nowhere can change your mind. You have already made up your mind that there is no proof. So why do you keep asking. Logic suggests all FE are trolls. And honestly, I do find really funny dialogues here. Thats why I return. Not thinking I will convert someone.

You just do it for fun and RE tag along for some hilarious threads and thats fine with me :)

Air density, refraction, elevation, reflection - All of these things have to do with light and its effects on your view of how the sun operates. This has been shown dozens of times here. 

Yes, all those things "have to do with light". Luckily, we know pretty much exactly how they affect the path of light.

Reflection: Straightforward. Light bounces off stuff at a specific angle.
Elevation: Straightforward. Less stuff can get in the way if you are higher up.
Refraction: Little more complicated. Stuff like density and temperature can cause light to bend slightly.

Given these tools, give us a diagram of how light moves between the sun and our eyes as it sets. You can even make the light bend a little if you can give a plausible explanation as to why it bends. If this is as simple as you say, it should be easy! I have NEVER seen anyone explain this in my entire time on this site. (I have been lurking a lot longer than I have had an account.)

Sun is going 15 degrees per hour.

Wrong angles at 13:44 again.

Protractor at 19:11 measures something from aside, instead from observer.
And claiming it is "observed angle". LOL
And more such "measure what looks convenient" shortly before and after 19:11.

Serious question:
Do you Really understand what a mess this guy tries to sell as "experiment" ?
Will you accept to be his victim?

Gyro-Theodolites are real and used in long tunnels and mining when GPS or celestial fixes are not possible.

Really?  Gyro-Theodolites are riddled with geographic restrictions, setup problems, and numerous errors they seem to have trouble counter acting.

I would believe the above ground communication version with gps etc is used but I don't see how this below ground only one would ever be reliable.

YEs, we do understand.
Do you?

HINT:
Look at the angles at 5:11.

Sun is going 15 degrees per hour.

Have you measured the speed of the sun across the sky towards dusk? Can you share your measurements with us?
Wrong angles at 13:44 again.
See above

I think you're missing the point.

I think he makes a valid point, and illustrates it fairly.  Is there a way you could do it better?

You don't see! So Mr Silicon is now the expert on underground surveying.

You claim that "Gyro-Theodolites are riddled with geographic restrictions, setup problems, and numerous errors they seem to have trouble counter acting."

Then quote Wikipedia, Gyrotheodolite. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrotheodolite)

Where is this evidence of "riddled with geographic restrictions" and "numerous errors they seem to have trouble counter acting"?

Your reference has this to say

Limitations
Although a gyro-theodolite functions at the equator and in both the northern and southern hemispheres, it cannot be used at either the North Pole or South Pole, where the Earth's axis is precisely perpendicular to the horizontal axis of the spinner and the meridian is undefined. Gyro-theodolites are not normally used within about 15 degrees of the pole because the east-west component of the Earth’s rotation is insufficient to obtain reliable results.

Unlike an artificial horizon or inertial navigation system, a gyro-theodolite cannot be relocated while it is operating. It must be restarted again at each site.

When available, astronomical star sights are able to give the meridian bearing to better than one hundred times the accuracy of the gyro-theodolite. Where this extra precision is not required, the gyro-theodolite is able to produce a result quickly without the need for night observations.

Sure, they are "not normally used within about 15 degrees of the pole", but that's not a major limitation.

And of course "astronomical star sights are able to give the meridian bearing to better than one hundred times the accuracy of the gyro-theodolite."

But, neither "astronomical star sights" nor GPS can be used underground.

Whatever its limitations, the  gyro-theodolite is real and is in use.

So, both the  gyro-theodolite and mains gyro-compass are very strong evidence the the earth does actually rotate.

Can't you share a little more with poor Silicon. I think he is not so mathematically challenged that he can't understand simple explanation. That sun speed is constant and it makes full circle (360 degree) in 24 hours and that makes its movement per hour -> 360/24 = 15 . Although it seems that he is unable to figure out so simple thing by himself...

At 5:25 the guy in the video shares exactly how he gets his angles. Are you saying timeanddate.com is wrong?

Researched quite a few of these products for sale and I cannot find one that rely solely on earths rotation to obtain a measurement. If you can find one that does (one that we could actually buy) list it here....

In my opinion, the best evidence on spinning Earth is TELECOMMUNICATION SATELLITES. You may imply that NASA's satellites don't exist cuz NASA lies. But telecommunication satellites don't lie. And that's not only that they relay and amplify radio telecommunications signals, it is also the knowledge HOW IS IT DONE, THAT THEY "HANG" OVER ONE POINT ON THE EARTH AND DON'T FALL.
Do you need an evidence? There is a lot. Try the Google first.

Wow. Ok, so there are a LOT of problems with this video.

Do you honestly believe this is the correct way to measure an angle? 19:11 (http://), 19:30 (http://), 19:50 (http://), 20:09 (http://), etc.

1:00 (http://) (Horizon is not directly horizontal on a globe):
1. Someone 6 feet tall has to look "down" at the horizon a grand total of 0.04 degrees. Completely insignificant.
2. Modern surveyors don't rely on the horizon to level their equipment.

Explanation from 5:10 (http://) to 13:50 is wrong. He is hopelessly confusing how angles and perspective works. If you really don't understand why this part is wrong, I'll start a new thread dedicated to this video.

I haven't seen or don't remember that anyone mentioned such person as Giovanni Battista Guglielmini (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Battista_Guglielmini). Its interesting to know if there is exlpanation for results in his experiment and other similar experiment later (some of them are mentioned in https://books.google.com/books?id=VpFPDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA531&lpg=PA531#v=onepage&q&f=false ) on FE model. In short, balls were dropped straight down and most of them (as you can't totally eliminate balls own movement) landed not straight down but were deviated eastward. If the earth is still and doesn't rotate then balls dropping straight down should drop straight down not deviate to the east.
 EDIT: I thought that its useful to add reason why balls deviate. Its because place nearest to earth center moves slower than place farthest. The ball dropped at some high place (the top of tower or deep shaft) retains its velocity and should drop some distance at east of the drop site as lower place moves slower.
  Other things aside, does anyone really have no comments about it. Debunking it or finding other explanations than its because we live on a spinning ball.
