Title: Auguste Piccard
Post by: Behemoth the Dinosaur on September 17, 2017, 05:07:03 PM
     I'm writing this post in response to research I've been doing. I am hoping others can offer clarification and/or validation here; My research is on physicist/engineer Auguste Piccard.

     Having studied physics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Piccard went on to become a professor at the Free University of Brussels in 1922, and member of the Solvay Congress. His professional life in the field of physics and engineering gave credibility to the man as an inventor and explorer. Backed by the Belgian research organization, Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique; Dr Auguste Piccard started researching the stratosphere. His intent, to provide experimental evidence for the theories proposed, by another graduate of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology; and co-member of the Solvay Congress, theoretical physicist Albert Einstein.

     In my understandings, Piccard believed in the heliocentric model; his work, with the Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique, was to validate theories purposed about cosmic rays from outer space and their effects on our planet. With him inventing the technology used in underwater travel to account for the pressure difference, he modified his work to create a vehicle that could account for atmospheric pressure. The idea to get into the stratosphere via balloon and run experimentation's that in theory, should provide hard evidence to the existence of cosmic rays. The man ascended a record breaking 10 miles(16km) high. Later breaking this record many times over in a total of 27 stratosphere-balloon flights and a final record of 23 miles(37km) in height.

     This was before exploring the sky was strictly militarized. Many of the people seen in the footage of Piccards take offs, are volunteers; local firefighters, towns people, and visitors who came to watch the balloons ascension. This was not controlled to a need-to-know basis. We can take the mans observations as fact as the integrity of the man is not compromised. He is not affiliated with any government and so we know his work was not reviewed for national security purposes prior to publication. The man was a researcher, holding back any observation would not have been in his interest, even if they where counter-intuitive with his preconceptions. As holding back any observation, even one that is not understood, would only have become a hindrance in his work, and to further studies of his work.

     An article from the magazine Popular Science, Aug 1931 (published by Bonnier Corporation) explored the first record set of 10 miles(16km) high. Keep in mind, today's average airlines never see this height. The article reports (paraphrased), through use of oxygen tanks they, both Auguste Piccard and Charles Kipfer, were able to execute their tests. For they reported, air pressure at such heights to be so low, one tenth than at sea-level. They did find that the cosmic rays they set out to prove, does in-fact appear more intense in the stratosphere compared to being on ground. This article then goes on to report, that at such a height the air appeared blue, and that they were able to capture this 'blue-air' in cylinders to than experiment with. The article describes this gas as intensely blue and o-zone(O₃) rich, and references it as the "radio-roof" as if radio signals bounce off of this layer. This is a later excerpt from the article.

     "Through portholes, the observer saw the Earth through copper-colored, then bluish, haze. It seemed a flat disk with an upturned edge. And at the ten mile level the sky appeared a deep, dark blue."


Above are the facts I have found in my research. Below is my personal opinions based on those facts, and is not intended be taken as anything more than that.


     Piccards research is important because I feel it may bring light to other matters. On a Globe when you see the stars circle clockwise in the northern hemisphere; and counter-clockwise in the southern hemisphere, you would conclude the Earth is spinning eastward. On a flat Earth, however, when you see the very same opposite-motions of the stars you come to the conclusion that the stars act as one big Tesla coil (energy taking the path of a geometric torus; to sustain and generate free energy). I am a flat Earther and I do believe that the stars are one big energy generator. I am also a Bible-Literalist (I believe the Bible to be literally true).

     I believe on day one God said let their be light; references both this free energy system being established, and the gases that make up our air being created. The atmosphere is made of Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide, and Argon. Now the reason I believe that Argon and free energy is the light created on day one, is because Argon is a Nobel gas and so it conducts electricity. When electricity is put through Argon gas it creates a blue photon that is unmistakably sky-blue (this is how Neon lights work). Since we already know Argon can create blue light when given energy, and since we know the sky has both Argon and energy, we know why the sky is giving off blue light...yes the sky is giving off light. I believe when Dr Auguste Piccard captured blue air, he found hard evidence that the sky produces light without the sun, Just like the 7 days of genesis would tell you.

     The second day, let their be a firmament separating the waters above from the waters below. I believe the waters above is the deep-dark blue that Piccard noted the sky to be at 10miles high. Hennesy Liquor did an add campaign celebrating Dr Auguste Piccards accomplishments. This add depicted the ascension Piccard took, interestingly enough, the makers of the add decided to show the ascension ending in Piccard breaking through the firmament into waters above, just like the 7 days of genesis would tell you.

     On the third day, the creation of plant life. It is important to note that the Sun has not yet been created and thus this photosynthesis process does not fit with the Biblical worldview. This goes back to my theory that the free energy created by the Tesla coil and the Argon in our air, creates daylight, and not the Sun. Just like the 7 days of genesis would tell you.

     And on the forth day God created the sun and moon. The Bible does not reference stars in the 7 days unless you agree with my theory that the first days light, used the stars of the Tesla coil as a catalyst to create the light.

     Finally, here is my question. Does what I am saying seem reasonable? Can we use the experiments that Auguste Piccard did, to confirm the 7 days of Genesis are a scientific and accurate explanation of the creation of Earth? And, is it at all possible that the cosmo rays theorized by Einstein, that Piccard confirmed, is evidence of the Tesla coil free-energy that our stars create?

One thing that jumped out at me, and please correct me if I am wrong, is that you think when he entered this area of blue he may have pierced the firmament and was in the waters above.  But didn't you say he collected atmosphere from there?  Was it water?  Perhaps I am misreading what you wrote.

Allow me to clarify. In reality Piccard never touched to firmament he only reached the outer atmosphere than descended. It was just a graphic designed re-enactment that Hennessy put out that shows him break the firmament. How ever the graphic designed re-enactment is only an advertisement, that added the firmament breakthrough to add excitement to the graphic. Nobody is actually claiming he broke through the firmament in his experiment.

Buddy i said running electricity through Argon is how a neon light works. You responded by saying Neon makes Red light. Yes you are right, Neon gas for Dark red, Helium Gas for Red, Krypton for Green, Argon for Blue, and Mercury vapour for light blue. But weather you use Neon, Helium,Argon,Krypton,Mercury, or Xenon you would still call it a Neon Light (even when using Argon). Think about it, have you ever heard of an Argon light, or is it just called a blue neon light?

PS buddy, calling someone a retard and mis-spelling the word retard, is...well... pretty retarded.

No i said Argon makes blue and and you have been going off about red neon for just dreadfully long now. but fine you really want me to spell out irreverent things for you here goes. Colours have hues, so three things that are red can have different hues of red. Neon, Hydrogen, and Helium all produce different hues of red. Neon is like a ruby red. Helium is a mix between orange and red and looks kind of murky. Hydrogen red is like neon red but not as deep- kind of a chrismassy red

however making red with Nobel gases if so far from relevant to my original post, Bullwinkle, that this is just getting foolish

If my analysis of what Auguste Piccard did seems stupid to you, than feel free research this for yourself.

This is a link to the article I referenced.

This is a link to Piccards wife, explaining her husbands experiment.



This is a link of Piccard saying these words, "Don't Militarize space. the Strange Powers of Space will be overcome. Europe and America are side-by-side."




P.S buddy next time something controversial sounds stupid to you, maybe do some research instead of crying about it.

Your second post, that would be post #2, you said the noble gas used for red in a neon light is hydrogen.   First, hydrogen is not a noble gas.  Second, neon is the noble gas used to produce red.  If you made a mistake, own it, don't try to change the record after it's been written.

How does one make the leap from "let there be electromagnetic radiation" to assuming that there must also have been matter created at the same time capable of absorbing energy and releasing it as more electromagnetic radiation?

Dude, there is just so much wrong with this piece you've written:

Third paragraph you wrote:

"Later breaking this record many times over in a total of 27 stratosphere-balloon flights and a final record of 23,000 miles(37km) in height."

23,000 miles is 36,800 km.  The Hubble space telescope orbits at 353 miles.  23,000 miles is waaaay out there brother, well beyond the stratosphere.

Fifth paragraph you wrote:

"An article from the magazine Popular Science, Aug 1931 (published by Bonnier Corporation) explored the first record set of 10 miles(16km) high. Keep in mind, today's average airlines never see this height."

Average commercial airlines fly domestically between 36,000 (a little over 6 miles up) and 39,000 feet.  Most large passenger aircraft are moving towards higher cruising altitudes to save fuel and increase range.  The Boeing 777 cruises at 43,000 (7.4 miles).  Military aircraft regularly fly above 50,000 (engine check rides go up to 95,000).  Private aircraft like the Citation Mustang cruise at 50,000 feet as well.  To say that average airlines never see that altitude is not 100% accurate.  Some do and the number is increasing.

Eight paragraph you wrote:

"On a flat Earth, however, when you see the very same opposite-motions of the stars you come to the conclusion that the stars act as one big Tesla coil (energy taking the path of a geometric torus; to sustain and generate free energy)."

Except this isn't entirely true.  Using the FE model, in the northern hemisphere the stars behave the same as they do in the RE model, but the same cannot be said in the southern hemisphere.  If you envision the earth as being flat and covered by a dome or "firmament" with Antartica being a ring-shaped continent, then the location of nearly all the southern constellations stop making sense and become even more bizarre the further south you go.  Obviously, this does not reconcile with what we can observe in reality meaning something is wrong with the FE model that requires further explanation (or abandonment).

You can conclude that the stars are one big Tesla coil but you would be a leaping to that conclusion.

Are you being reasonable with this explanation?  Many gaps to fill, many indeed.  There are numerous jumps in logic and some issues that you will have difficulty, if not find impossible to surmount given what is observable and proven.

Noble gas
The noble gases (historically also the inert gases) make up a group of chemical elements with similar properties; under standard conditions, they are all odorless, colorless, monatomic gases with very low chemical reactivity. The six noble gases that occur naturally are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and the radioactive radon (Rn).

The colour emitted when these gasses fluoresce are

Other gasses fluoresce too:

There is no need to guess these things. It has been known for a lot time that
the blue colour of the sky is produced by the Rayleigh Scattering of sunlight. The molecules of the atmosphere scatter more of the blue end of the spectrum.
This gives us blue skies, red sunsets and a reddish colour on the eclipsed moon.

Let there be light only tell you light was created. If I am to wonder as to what could generate such a light, Looking at the energy that is entering our Atmosphere is not a bad place to start. As per assuming that there must have been matter created at the same time, this is what i said, "...references both this free energy system being established, and the gases that make up our air being created." The gases that make up our air is the matter that I believe absorb cosmic energy and release that energy in the form of day light. However I don't know this, to be true, and so I am asking the question. That why you will find what I've written on the matter after this part of my text, "Above are the facts I have found in my research. Below is my personal opinions based on those facts, and is not intended be taken as anything more than that."

third paragragh

Gumwars thank you for correcting me here, I have gone back to the original references (found in an earlier comment of mine) and you are correct from 23 miles I mis-wrote this to 23,000 miles. The error was in fact on my part and so I have edited my original post to not have that typo.

fifth paragraph

I make note to the fact that today's average airlines never see's 10 miles high, I stand by what I said,

Average commercial airlines fly domestically between 36,000 (a little over 6 miles up) and 39,000 feet.......less than 10 miles
Most large passenger aircraft are moving towards higher cruising altitudes to save fuel and increase range.......less than 10 miles
The Boeing 777 cruises at 43,000 (7.4 miles).......less than 10 miles
Military aircraft regularly fly above 50,000 (engine check rides go up to 95,000).......not an average airline
Private aircraft like the Citation Mustang cruise at 50,000 feet as well.......not an average airline

However the height of average airlines was not really the point in any of this. And I don't doubt that airlines are capable of travailing to 10miles plus, I'm sure they are (I don't know) the reason I said this, was simply to put into perspective, that he got higher than today's average flights go, way back in the 1930's.

Eighth paragraph
I say the stars act as a Torus (a surface of revolution generated by revolving a circle in three-dimensional space about an axis coplanar with the circle) just like the Tesla coil. Which is a wild conclusion to come to based of this article. I did not come to that conclusion, however, based of this article. The idea that the stars create energy in its motion, and comparing the stars motion to a Tesla coil is an ongoing explanation of what the stars are there for, that many real FErs have been looking into for years.

As per southern constellations, I've only ever lived and seen the northern hemisphere and so I don't know what in-discrepancies the south has with their constellations. You say, "The location of nearly all the southern constellations stop making sense and become even more bizarre the further south you go." I will need you to explain this further. Bizarre how? What does not make sense?

lastly you say, "impossible to surmount given what is observable and proven."
When I look up I observe blue air, when Piccard went up he found blue air. What exactly are you observing, that would make saying the atmosphere is blue impossible?

In an airplane, 6-7miles high, I see a flat plane. When Piccard went 10miles up he saw a flat plane with an upturned edge. What exactly are you observing that would make saying, the plane looks like a plane, impossible?

It has been known for a long time that flat-stationary earth you fall off, but round spinning earth you would not fall off. It has been known for a long time that God does not exist and were are all just monkeys. Its been known for a long time that NASA is your friend and would never steal from you, its been known for a long time, you should just go to work everyday, and let your government deal with these issues for you. It has been known for a long time, that Gravity holds the mass of all the world oceans down, but not the mass of the insects or birds.

The only problem is all these things, that have been known for a long time, are utterly farcical. You can feel free enjoying all that has been known for a long time, me ima question it all.

Yes, these things things have been known for a long time, all long before NASA was even thought of, many for a long time before evolution was ever thought of
and none has the slightest connection with the existence of God.

Ignorant people still somehow connect NASA with the belief in the Globe earth. They had nothing to do with it in the slightest.
There seems to have been little doubt that the earth is a Globe from before 300 BC, and there sure wasn't any NASA then!  :D
Even the "Church" seems to have been in no doubt, look up the writings of the Venerable Bede and others of his time.
Most of the early work was by the Greeks, that seems to have been taken over by the more Eastern countries of Arabia, Persia, etc and India.
The support for the Globe was very strong with much study into geodesy and astronomy. This seems to have ended around the time of the crusades.

But, like it or not, the Globe has been around for thousands of years and blaming NASA for it is probably just a sign of YouTube indoctrination.

its been known for a long time, you should just go to work everyday, and let your government deal with these issues for you. It has been known for a long time, that Gravity holds the mass of all the world oceans down, but not the mass of the insects or birds.
I can't be held responsible for your ignorance about gravity. The force exerted by gravity is directly proportional to the objects mass.
The "the total mass of the oceans on Earth is 1.35 x 1018 metric tonnes" .
Butterflies have masses ranging from 0.04 gram up to 0.3 gram for a large swallowtail.
And birds have masses of a few grans to a few kilograms.
So, what's your problem with gravity?

Besides, things fall down and flat earther's don't seem to have a better explanation. Density and buoyancy along just do not cut it! Neither "makes things fall down".
Gravitation works and has been demonstrated numerous times, both in the lab and in simple home rigs.
None of these others ideas fit observations.

Quote from: Behemoth the Dinosaur
The only problem is all these things, that have been known for a long time, are utterly farcical. You can feel free enjoying all that has been known for a long time, me ima question it all.
You might think they are farcical simply because you have proven that you do not understand them.

Quote from: Behemoth the Dinosaur
PS that Argon tube looks sky blue to me (especially in reality not just in a pic)
Note that the  ;)  "sky blue . . Argon tube" ;) is Argon mixed with mercury vapour.  There is no mercury vapour in our atmosphere, I hope!.
Just look at the argon alone above the mixture of argon and mercury. The argon alone is definitely not sky blue.

So, I'll stick with Rayleigh scattering of sunlight. That explains so many things, such as:
       The blue of the sky.
       The red of the sunset.
       The visibility distance in clear air.
       The reddish colour of the eclipsed moon.

third paragragh

Gumwars thank you for correcting me here, I have gone back to the original references (found in an earlier comment of mine) and you are correct from 23 miles I mis-wrote this to 23,000 miles. The error was in fact on my part and so I have edited my original post to not have that typo.

fifth paragraph

I make note to the fact that today's average airlines never see's 10 miles high, I stand by what I said,

Average commercial airlines fly domestically between 36,000 (a little over 6 miles up) and 39,000 feet.......less than 10 miles
Most large passenger aircraft are moving towards higher cruising altitudes to save fuel and increase range.......less than 10 miles
The Boeing 777 cruises at 43,000 (7.4 miles).......less than 10 miles
Military aircraft regularly fly above 50,000 (engine check rides go up to 95,000).......not an average airline
Private aircraft like the Citation Mustang cruise at 50,000 feet as well.......not an average airline

However the height of average airlines was not really the point in any of this. And I don't doubt that airlines are capable of travailing to 10miles plus, I'm sure they are (I don't know) the reason I said this, was simply to put into perspective, that he got higher than today's average flights go, way back in the 1930's.

Eighth paragraph
I say the stars act as a Torus (a surface of revolution generated by revolving a circle in three-dimensional space about an axis coplanar with the circle) just like the Tesla coil. Which is a wild conclusion to come to based of this article. I did not come to that conclusion, however, based of this article. The idea that the stars create energy in its motion, and comparing the stars motion to a Tesla coil is an ongoing explanation of what the stars are there for, that many real FErs have been looking into for years.

As per southern constellations, I've only ever lived and seen the northern hemisphere and so I don't know what in-discrepancies the south has with their constellations. You say, "The location of nearly all the southern constellations stop making sense and become even more bizarre the further south you go." I will need you to explain this further. Bizarre how? What does not make sense?

lastly you say, "impossible to surmount given what is observable and proven."
When I look up I observe blue air, when Piccard went up he found blue air. What exactly are you observing, that would make saying the atmosphere is blue impossible?

In an airplane, 6-7miles high, I see a flat plane. When Piccard went 10miles up he saw a flat plane with an upturned edge. What exactly are you observing that would make saying, the plane looks like a plane, impossible?
My point about aviation is that the average altitude for commercial and civilian flights are getting higher.  I agree with your observation but felt it necessary to point out that many aircraft regularly hit the 10-mile mark.  To reiterate, I agree that your statement is correct.

The problem with the southern constellations, Crux and the star Sigma Octanis in particular, is that their locations are indeterminate with a flat earth model.  As Antarctica is a ring, and Sigma Octanis in the RE model is located a few degrees off of the geographic south pole, where is this star in relation to a ring-shaped Antarctica?  If you pick an arbitrary location you'll find that it won't reconcile with it's known location relative to other positions on the map.  Additionally, Polaris would be visible anywhere on an FE map, but we know that to not be the case as it gets closer to the horizon as you approach the equator and eventually is obscured by the planet the further south you go. 

Looking closer at this particular problem, it seems FE was conceived by people that live in the northern hemisphere as it completely ignores what happens to the observable sky once you go south of the equator.

For me, this is the deathstroke.  I have yet to see a flat earth hypothesis that explains, without breaking other things, where Sigma Octanis is in relation to a ring-shaped Antarctica or why Polaris isn't visible to everyone on the planet.  The only explanation that fits, and fits without error, is that the world is a globe.

"True" Nope.  That would require studies that allow people to make predictions based on the observation.  The consensus is quite clear as to where daylight comes from so forgive me for casting doubt on the plausibility and possibility that what I see comes from other than the burning crucible of hydrogen 93 million miles away. 

"Repeatedly Verifiable" Again, nope.  That is dangerously close to a lie.

"Scientific"  With no sources, no studies, no references, just a lego animation and Knarles Barkley telling us that noble gases light up the sky due to electron bombardment; no, this isn't scientific.  I'd put it on the level with "pulled from ass" and "clutching at straws".  In order for a neon sign to illuminate, the vessel needs to be pressurized from 6 to 27 times atmospheric pressure and are comprised of pure noble gas.  Meaning for this BS to actually work, you'd need a hell of a lot more than 1% composition to have something light up.  Then you'd still need 90 to 140 VDC to cause it to illuminate.  Science my ass.

"Proof"  Proof that the author of this video is an idiot.

True repeatedly verifiable scientific proof on what causes "Day light "

[youtube][/youtube]

What a waste of time! Here is proof that your video is quite incorrect:

Just one thing makes that video completely wrong is the comparison of the spectra of direct sunlight,  the diffuse blue light of the sky and the spectra of helium, neon and argon.
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/8u2y62sno871uie/Comparison%20of%20Sunlight%20and%20Moonlight%20Spectra.png?dl=1)     (https://www.dropbox.com/s/fxwumrg2cpe3i3a/Spectrum%20of%20blue%20sky%20-%20Wikipedia.png?dl=1)
A spectrum taken of blue sky clearly showing solar Fraunhofer lines.

Notice how the spectrum of the diffuse light from the blue sky has the same Fraunhofer (absorption) lines as does the direct sunlight spectrum.
This is very solid that the diffuse light from the blue sky if simply scattered sunlight.
In addition to having the same absorption lines the diffuse light from the blue sky has the red end (longer wavelength) attenuated compared to the blue (shorter wavelength) end.

Now look at the emission spectra of Helium, Neon and Argon:
Helium: slightly more complex
than hydrogen, with one yellow
line and a number in the blue.
     (https://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~barnes/ASTR110L_F05/spectralab_fig2_He.jpg)
     
Neon: a very large number of lines
in the red give neon signs their
distinctive pink colors, but notice
the two green lines.
     (https://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~barnes/ASTR110L_F05/spectralab_fig2_Ne.jpg)
     
Argon: the pastel color of argon is
due to a wide range of lines
throughout the spectrum.
     (https://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~barnes/ASTR110L_F05/spectralab_fig2_Ar.jpg)
All from: IFA Hawaii, Spectra in the Lab (https://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~barnes/ASTR110L_F05/spectralab.html)

Notice how the diffuse light from the blue sky does not contain any or these lines.
This is clear evidence that the diffuse light from the blue sky does not come from excited helium, neon or argon.

So Resistance.is.Futile, if you are looking for "scientific evidence", the trash-can at YouTube is the wrong place to look!

Your Flat Earthism Religion has again been refuted!

yea buddy, some people will never see that the left photo shows an elongated reflection of the of the sun, a reflection only possible from light bouncing off of a truly flat surface. some people will never see how the dispersing of sun-rays would never appear from a sun 93 million miles away, as shown in the middle photo, some people will see the left photo, A beautiful capture of our Horizontal horizon, and honestly think they are looking at a curve. those people will not be listening to anything that may possibly contradict their paradigm, those people are indoctrinated. indoctrinated into a system that does not care for them, that teaches them to not care for one-an-other. a system that references, 'you are too small' to explain a big question, and your spinning on a rock to explain reality. a system that needs to be re-examined. putting aside our ego's, and exploring ideas that dont currently follow mainstream belief, maybe even contradict them, is a great way to start on the path of re-examining our ideas, ourselves, and even the whole damn system. but while many people like me try and explore such ideas, we are faced with just so many people who are ready to hate and hurt each other. read every comment on this thread and you will see rude, angry, offensive statements.....in a conversation about colors.

PS. Do you see, how in the zoomed photo in the middle, you can see land; but in the un-zoomed photo, on either end, you cant see any land. Can a Zoom function on a camera bring land back into view, if that land is beyond the horizon? i think not

yea buddy, some people will never see that the left photo shows an elongated reflection of the of the sun, a reflection only possible from light bouncing off of a truly flat surface.
You do "make up" a good story.
But there is no way your 5000 km high sun can ever appear that close to the horizon, let alone disappear be find it.
Don't try "perspective", that won't work. Your sun is about 50 km in diameter and it looks the same size at the horizon.
The sun's height of about 5000 km while the distance it would be away at sunset would have it still roughly 18° above the horizon.
So without some magic your sun can never even get near the horizon.

But about those photos.
They were taken by me from the beach, no more than 2 m above sea level,  The horizon would be just over 5 km away and 4 m below eye-level.
That puts the horizon  0.045° below eye-level and the sea would have a bulge of only 0.5 m over 5 km!
Just how :D flat do you want your "truly flat surface" :D ? The reflection is clearly from the little ripples in the almost perfectly flat sea.

Quote from: Behemoth
some people will never see how the dispersing of sun-rays would never appear from a sun 93 million miles away,
Totally incorrect for reasons given below.

Quote from: Behemoth
as shown in the middle photo, some people will see the left photo, A beautiful capture of our Horizontal horizon,
Thanks for the "beautiful capture of our Horizontal horizon" because
a perfectly flat horizontal horizon is exactly what should be seen on the horizon of the Globe.
Think what you are looking at is a circle 5 km away and only 0.045° below eye-level, so it should look so close to flat and horizontal that no-one could tell the difference.

So, try a new excuse!

Quote from: Behemoth
and honestly think they are looking at a curve.
Maybe some do, I wouldn't know, but from a low altitude, even from a few thousand metres, the horizon on the Globe should look flat. 

Quote from: Behemoth

No I do not see any land, because there is no land! Remember that I took those photos from Weipa on Cape  York, North Queensland.
There is no land that you could possibly see even on a flat earrh.

So, I still cannot see any convincing explanation of sunrises and sunsets on a flat earth. Here try another one, this time from an exposed beach at Barnhill in Western Australia, no land to be found West of there till you bump into Africa!
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/1cfokxrok34mo2a/25%20-%20Sunset%20at%20Barnhill.jpg?dl=1)
Sunset at Barnhill
That one is from about 3 m above sea-level, so the horizon is about 6.2 km away and only about  0.06° below eye-level.
Try your flat earth magic on that.

As I said before
"If I see the sun appearing to be hidden behind the horizon, I believe that the sun is really being hidden behind the horizon."
And I don't need any of your excuses and fancy explanations, the Globe explanations are so simple.

The problem with the southern constellations, Crux and the star Sigma Octanis in particular, is that their locations are indeterminate with a flat earth model.  As Antarctica is a ring, and Sigma Octanis in the RE model is located a few degrees off of the geographic south pole, where is this star in relation to a ring-shaped Antarctica?  If you pick an arbitrary location you'll find that it won't reconcile with it's known location relative to other positions on the map.  Additionally, Polaris would be visible anywhere on an FE map, but we know that to not be the case as it gets closer to the horizon as you approach the equator and eventually is obscured by the planet the further south you go. 

Looking closer at this particular problem, it seems FE was conceived by people that live in the northern hemisphere as it completely ignores what happens to the observable sky once you go south of the equator.

For me, this is the deathstroke.  I have yet to see a flat earth hypothesis that explains, without breaking other things, where Sigma Octanis is in relation to a ring-shaped Antarctica or why Polaris isn't visible to everyone on the planet.  The only explanation that fits, and fits without error, is that the world is a globe.

Hey there Gumwar, I found this video that weather it is true or not, i think, is a pretty cool project this guy put together. It seems to rectify the southern hemisphere issue but i dunno, what do you think?


It seems to rectify the issue if you don't question why the "double reflection" he talks about only applies to the stars and not the Sun or the Moon, if you accept that the stars will spin around over your head without ever rising or setting (despite observations to the contrary), and if you didn't notice he was playing games with the orientation of his camera (right-side up, upside down, and sideways at different times).

But other than those gaping holes he pretty much nailed it.

third paragragh

Gumwars thank you for correcting me here, I have gone back to the original references (found in an earlier comment of mine) and you are correct from 23 miles I mis-wrote this to 23,000 miles. The error was in fact on my part and so I have edited my original post to not have that typo.

fifth paragraph

I make note to the fact that today's average airlines never see's 10 miles high, I stand by what I said,

Average commercial airlines fly domestically between 36,000 (a little over 6 miles up) and 39,000 feet.......less than 10 miles
Most large passenger aircraft are moving towards higher cruising altitudes to save fuel and increase range.......less than 10 miles
The Boeing 777 cruises at 43,000 (7.4 miles).......less than 10 miles
Military aircraft regularly fly above 50,000 (engine check rides go up to 95,000).......not an average airline
Private aircraft like the Citation Mustang cruise at 50,000 feet as well.......not an average airline

However the height of average airlines was not really the point in any of this. And I don't doubt that airlines are capable of travailing to 10miles plus, I'm sure they are (I don't know) the reason I said this, was simply to put into perspective, that he got higher than today's average flights go, way back in the 1930's.

Eighth paragraph
I say the stars act as a Torus (a surface of revolution generated by revolving a circle in three-dimensional space about an axis coplanar with the circle) just like the Tesla coil. Which is a wild conclusion to come to based of this article. I did not come to that conclusion, however, based of this article. The idea that the stars create energy in its motion, and comparing the stars motion to a Tesla coil is an ongoing explanation of what the stars are there for, that many real FErs have been looking into for years.

As per southern constellations, I've only ever lived and seen the northern hemisphere and so I don't know what in-discrepancies the south has with their constellations. You say, "The location of nearly all the southern constellations stop making sense and become even more bizarre the further south you go." I will need you to explain this further. Bizarre how? What does not make sense?

lastly you say, "impossible to surmount given what is observable and proven."
When I look up I observe blue air, when Piccard went up he found blue air. What exactly are you observing, that would make saying the atmosphere is blue impossible?

In an airplane, 6-7miles high, I see a flat plane. When Piccard went 10miles up he saw a flat plane with an upturned edge. What exactly are you observing that would make saying, the plane looks like a plane, impossible?

At the 2:25 mark you run into the first of two significant problems with this model; the first is that Polaris is well above the apparent horizon while standing at the equator.  In reality, it looks like this:

(http://darkerview.com/darkview/uploads/MKTimeStack20070421.jpg)

So, while the model creates a projection of the southern constellations it doesn't address the issue of Polaris and its visibility in the southern hemisphere.  The second issue still surrounds Sigma Octanis.  My contention was not that the FE model says Sigma Octanis doesn't exist, its that it cannot tell me where it is.  According to this model, Sigma Octanis would be rotating around the ring-shaped Antarctica, which is just as arbitrary as picking a location.  That would mean that it isn't a near stationary star turning a very small circle in the southern sky, but it would follow a long arc that would have it continually changing position through the night sky.  It's azimuth would be perpetually shifting and while it would be in the correct position for one viewer, it would be in the totally wrong position for nearly everyone else viewing it.  Literally, one person would find it where it should be and another would look due NORTH to find it. 

He put some effort into this but still does not address the fundamental issue facing the southern constellations and an FE model.

but while many people like me try and explore such ideas
How exactly you are exploring these ideas? Twiddling with your thumbs, looking at the ceiling and fantasizing? Can you kindly explore the fact that when the sun touches the horizon, a little lower than on first photo, then sunlight moves parallel with the ground. And then go figure out how can this happen on flat earth.

I explore these ideas in many ways. For many years now, I've been under the impression that the sun does not account for all the light we get. At night time we have sufficient light. It does not seem like a rock, said to be 240,000 miles away, said to be a quarter the size of the planet being shined upon, could reflect sufficient light. I know that the current scientific rationale is that the sun is so large and powerful and lifegiving, one can argue it can produce enough light that it gives us Moonlight too, but want to explore the idea that the moon creates its own light, after all rocks aren't very reflective. Researching Aguste Piccards work is only one way I have explored this.

Another way I have explored this, I figured if the moon is reflecting the suns light; both should be the same 'type' of light because they come from the same source, thus should have same or similar properties. I took two of the same sized, glasses of water and put one simple dollar store thermometer in each. By placing one glass under a patch of shadow, the other in light. I did temperature readings. The sun obviously heats the water and the shaded glass is the cooler of the two. Having not moved the glasses, and timing this when the moon was approximately in the same area of the sky, as the sun was, I did temperature readings again. My results (repeated by many others and verified). The moons light cools the water and the shaded becomes the warmer of the two.

This does not make rational sense. If the only difference between sunlight and moonlight is that with moonlight, the sunlight travels past the earth, hits the moon, bounces off of the moon, and then earth gets it. You would not expect that when the sun's light reflects of the moon, it would become a cold beam of light. This is not the only example of differences with the moons light and the suns light. If you like burning wood, you will notice that the moons light engulfs the flames, and makes them bigger; the sunlight seems to do the opposite, makes your fires duller and flames not as long.

I took another angle with exploring these ideas by re-reading the Bible. I constantly find scientific alternatives that much more rationally explain things that science has gotten wrong. The fossils of the earth, the seashells found on mountain tops, the layers in which rocks are separated, all that science tells you millions of years are evident. Could be all rationally explained by the story of the biblical flood. Science tells you dinosaurs died, science doesn't know what Lochness Monster is, what Mokele Mbembe is, science can tell you that a dragon is just make believe, but can't tell you why actual historical figures wrote about encounters with them, such as Beowulf. But if the writers of the Old Testament spoke about dinosaurs. Long before fossils were dugg up, and known about, then maybe dinosaurs lived among us, maybe they still do. Maybe Lochness, Mokele, and all the Dragons we’ve all heard about are simply dinosaurs...Behemoth was a Dinosaur. So no I don't just twiddle my thumbs, thinking that sunlight is separate from daylight, I'm reading the first chapter of Genesis tryna figure this one out.

You see I like to test my opinions, I mounted a poll to my wall outside that, when looking through it, you will always see Polaris. Whether it is March 21st, or if it's December 21st (not globally possible). Personally, I have stood across Lake Ontario and seen the Toronto skyline. It makes no difference if you can see the bottoms of the buildings or not, because the way I tested whether the Earth was curving away from me at such a great distance, is by using a string and a weight. I used this as a level to see a true lateral line. What i saw was the Toronto skyline, had the exact same ups and downs as my level was indicating i had. Anybody who thinks this would be impossible to tell from my distance must take into consideration, that the CN Tower (designed like a circular disk, set upon a pillar) would be a very strange and odd thing to see leaning away from you.

Anyways, I most kindly can explore the fact that when the sun touches the horizon, it appears to curve up to it, than directly into the ground. This can be figured out on the flat earth, by looking at the path of the sun. The sun makes a Circle. A circle can be broken into four motions; left-up, up-right, right-down, down-left. If you draw a circle, your pen will go from a downward left curve into an upward right curve. This is what is happening in the photo. That moment in which the sun set directly goes downward, is the moment in which the sun would appear to get further and change direction from our viewpoint, we don't see it change direction because at that point it has gone so far, it is past our field of vision. If you think you are looking at the sun going below the horizon then you must expect to see this at the beach.

Do you know what is spectrum of light? If you want to know if light comes from same source then you build DIY spectrometer and look at the light spectrum. Like here http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~zhuxj/astro/html/spectrometer.html
And moon light does not cool the water. The water cools same whether the moon is up or not. If you use two glasses and shade one then you just don't let them cool evenly. One is exposed to open and cold sky, other one is shaded from it and shade reflects even some of the dissipating heat back to it.

 I don't comprehend the sentence "it appears to curve up to it, than directly into the ground". When the sun touches the horizon line then it touches the horizon line and starts going behind it. It does not curve up. And all this does not answer the question I asked before. How can you explain the observable fact that the light from the sun is parallel with the ground when the sun is at horizon line.

Your string and weight method from across Lake Ontario is not clear.  How does a string and weight on your side of lake have anything whatsoever to do with a "true lateral line" stretching all the way to Toronto? 

Your final statement also indicates that you don't have a real understanding of the size of the Earth.  Expecting to be able to visually identify the angle of a tall building over a few dozen miles is extraordinarily naive.

I hope this picture is a joke, because with a horizon distance of nearly 5 km, this plane would have to be at least a couple km in length.  Are you aware of any aircraft that are that big?  Again, I hope you were just kidding with this, but I am unfortunately afraid that you weren't...

It wouldn't be globally possible to observe polaris from the equator with time laspe photography and for it to appear stationary.

This observation is only possible if the stars rotate around the earth it would not be possible if the earth was rotating.

Polaris is not stationary when viewed from the equator, the north pole, or anywhere between. Since it's (currently) 39.65 arc minutes (about 0.66°) from the celestial pole, it traces a circle in the sky about 1.3° in diameter each day; this can be seen in long-exposure photos taken from anywhere in the northern hemisphere.

Like this one:

Polaris is the small bright arc framed within the Delicate Arch in this interesting composition from Arches National Park in Utah.

As already noted (https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=72054.msg1961305#msg1961305), the only difference between rotating stars and a stationary earth, and a rotating earth and stationary stars would be parallax due to the 8,000-mile baseline of earth's diameter, and that's waaaaay too small to be observed. Parallax due to the 180 million mile baseline of earth's orbit amounts to less than 10 thousandths of an arc second (0.000002°), and you're talking about a factor more than twenty thousand times smaller than that.

As I understand it, parallax measurements need to be done at 6 month intervals when the earth is at opposite sides of its orbit around the sun.  Even then the angles are so small that measurements are only accurate for stars less than 100 parsecs away.

I do not find your explanation acceptable.

The image you provided contradicts this image taken from the equator :

(http://darkerview.com/darkview/uploads/MKTimeStack20070421.jpg)

As we can all see from the image provided polaris is stationary from the equator.

This is only possible on a flat and stationary Earth.

One interesting point I have to mention is that the distance to polaris can be detrmined by using the parallax.

For example polaris is at 90 degrees from the north pole and my guesstimation from the image provided is that polaris appears to be about 15  degrees above the horizon at the equator.

Obviously the problem arises that I do not know the true distance from the alleged north pole to the alleged  equator.

So one can only use the distances provided by your heliocentric brethren that have been provided for your imaginary Globe.

That said the distance I used for simplicity was 6000 miles.

So one can draw a line on a piece of paper at 60 mm and then draw another line at 90 degrees at the edge of the 60mm line and then draw another line at the other end of the 60mm line at 15 degrees .

Where the two lines intersect above the 60mm line will determine the distance of the said object.


That said it is impossible for polaris to be 2511000000000000 miles away from earth with the angles observed and verified. ( I apologise if my maths is out I'm currently enjoying my secon bottle of my favourate porteguese red )

I discovered this method from observing that the great Samuel Rowbotham's debating name was parallax.

He left this as his legacy to us modern flat earthers for he knew what was to come.

I will go into much greater detail on this in another one of my threads.

Your Strange Heliocentric Religion is False.

Parallax due to the 180 million mile baseline of earth's orbit amounts to less than 10 thousandths of an arc second (0.000002°), and you're talking about a factor more than twenty thousand times smaller than that.

I do not find your explanation acceptable.

The image you provided contradicts this image taken from the equator :

(http://darkerview.com/darkview/uploads/MKTimeStack20070421.jpg)

As we can all see from the image provided polaris is stationary from the equator.

This is only possible on a flat and stationary Earth.
Your image and his can't be compared there. The one you posted is a significantly shorter exposure time, look at the difference in star trail lengths. No wonder you can't see Polaris moving in yours, it's not even enough for 15 degrees of rotation.

It wouldn't be globally possible to observe polaris from the equator with time laspe photography and for it to appear stationary.

This observation is only possible if the stars rotate around the earth it would not be possible if the earth was rotating.

If the earth was rotating the only place polaris would be stationary would be at the alleged north pole .

Polaris is not stationary when viewed from the equator, the north pole, or anywhere between. Since it's (currently) 39.65 arc minutes (about 0.66°) from the celestial pole, it traces a circle in the sky about 1.3° in diameter each day; this can be seen in long-exposure photos taken from anywhere in the northern hemisphere.

Except when YOU are comparing them, and then how well they compare is very relevant.  Use your head!

Your premise is false.  Outside of a small wobble, Polaris would appear stationary if it were directly above the axis of rotation for a spinning, spherical Earth.  It's not, so there is a small amount of movement seen over time, as the first photo clearly shows.  Besides, your photo doesn't show Polaris as stationary, it has just moved less because of the shorter exposure time.

Partly true as Polaris is not quite on the North Celestial Pole. Its Declination is +89° 15′ 51″, not quite the +90° needed.
But, whether you like it or not, the facts are that Polaris makes tiny circles (about 0.74° in radius) wherever it can be seen.

Also, Polaris cannot usually be seen from the equator, it's too low on the horizon. Take a look at these real photos on the real earth:
Northern view.
The Northern pole is the center of the circles made by the stars
due to the Earth rotation and is located on the horizon.

On the Equator line, the stars set vertically to the West
(and rise vertically to the East)

     Southern view,
Southern pole is the center of the circles made by the stars
due to the Earth rotation and is located on the horizon.
A bright meteor left its "footprint" on the picture near the Southern pole.

Totally incorrect! You are mixing up your Silly Pizza Planet with the the true Heliocentric Globe.

Look, Mr Deception.is.Futile,
if you are going to criticise the Globe, you must use the proper Heliocentric Globe model - anything else is deceptive and we are sick of your deception!
So, Polaris is so far away that wherever you are on the Globe, Polaris is almost (within 0.74°) due North.

;D ;D But don't you believe in the North Pole now? with your "alleged north pole".  ;D ;D

How can you tell? That image is small and the exposure is short, so it's less obvious, but Polaris is still showing a trail.

Sorry to disappoint you, but the stellar parallax of Polaris is far too small to measure over a distance of only 6000 miles.
Please learn a bit more about what Stellar Parallax is before you make a bigger fool of yourself!
Quote
Stellar Parallax
A nearby star's apparent movement against the background of more distant stars as the Earth revolves around the Sun is referred to as stellar parallax.

That said the distance I used for simplicity was 6000 miles.
So one can draw a line on a piece of paper at 60 mm and then draw another line at 90 degrees at the edge of the 60mm line and then draw another line at the other end of the 60mm line at 15 degrees .

Totally untrue! The elevation of Polaris from the equation is near enough to 0° so try again!

Quote from: Resistance.is.Futile
Where the two lines intersect above the 60mm line will determine the distance of the said object.
That said it is impossible for polaris to be 2511000000000000 miles away from earth with the angles observed and verified. ( I apologise if my maths is out I'm currently enjoying my secon bottle of my favourate porteguese red )

Below about 100 km the atmospheric composition is fairly uniform - it is fairly well mixed by air currents and diffusion.

Earth's atmosphere (https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~rwest/wikispeedia/wpcd/wp/e/Earth%2527s_atmosphere.htm)
Below the turbopause at an altitude of about 100 km, the Earth's atmosphere has a more-or-less uniform composition (apart from water vapor) as described above; this constitutes the homosphere. However, above about 100 km, the Earth's atmosphere begins to have a composition which varies with altitude.

Also there is actually very little information on what is actually in the upper atmosphere, as it is too high for them to gather research.  What they do know is that it is made up of hydrogen, but they say it is in small quantities. So based on there lack or research, I figure there is still heaps of room for understanding.

Where did you get the idea from that "there is actually very little information on what is actually in the upper atmosphere"?
Have you done any research into the topic?

I was referring to this part of your post:
Hydrogen glows from red to purple and  blue, I think there is one more colour there. It's colour is dependent on the wave length of radiation that passes through it, which I am assuming has to do with the intensity of the sun passing through it.  All the colours that it changes are seen in the sky from sunrise to sunset.
Here you seemed to be claiming that the colours of the sky from blue overhead during the day to the reds and oranges of sunsets are unexplained.

But the explanations of that have been well known since before 1900 and even Leonardo Da Vinci had a good idea of the cause.
You could read Wikipedia on Rayleigh scattering (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_scattering) and here is somewhat simplified version: Why is the sky blue? (http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/General/BlueSky/blue_sky.html)

Remember that I did say that "those gases do get ionised by the energetic electrons in the ionosphere and cause various effects from airglow to the Auroras."
But the light from these is very weak and only visible on occasions for the Auroras and on very dark nights for the airglow.

Your desire to investigate matters is admirable but you really need to find out what is known before "diving in" with little understanding.
First learn what is already known and then look for areas poorly understood.

Investigation into the upper reaches of the atmosphere started with high altitude balloon flights, see High-altitude balloon (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-altitude_balloon).
These were usually limited to about 37 km but have reached higher altitudes.
Sounding rockets are still used to research higher altitudes to a few hundred kilometres. See Sounding rocket (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sounding_rocket).
And satellites can be used above about 200 km.

The zone between say 40 km and 200 km is a difficult range to investigate because the air too thin for balloons or aircraft but too dense for satellites to orbit for long. Hence the continued use of these comparatively small sounding rockets.

Though, I imagine that there is still a lot to learn in region above a few hundred kilometres where the traces of the earth's atmosphere meet the Solar Wind from the sun. This is further complicated by the interaction with the Earth's magnetic field.

So it's a big topic!

We are not the first to call attention to the vibrational origin of water's blue color. However, Nassau, in his generally excellent book (8), The Physics and Chemistry of Color, credits hydrogen bonding in water with strengthening the bonding and thus raising the frequency of high overtone and combination bands. Such frequency increases would shift H2O monomer (gas phase) transitions from the near IR into the visible thus increasing the visible absorption of water. However, as we see from Table 1, hydrogen bonding causes the stretching frequencies of H2O to shift to lower, not higher frequencies. Atkins too invokes hydrogen bonding as crucial to the visible color of water and ice (9). Instead, it appears to us that the hypothetical liquid without any hydrogen bonds would still be colored, perhaps even more intensely than is actual water. Dera too invokes vibrational overtones as the origin of the red absorption by water; his work is notable for its thorough compilation of visible spectra of water. (10) Happily, the absorption coefficients that he tabulates for water sampled from around the globe show that the absorption seen in Figure 1 is characteristic of most oceans -- pollution has not altered the color of the earth's great seas.

Have you read the cause of the "Sky being blue"? There is only a trace of hydrogen in the atmosphere, Hydrogen + oxygen makes an explosive mixture so there couldn't be much.

Technically, it is very close.
Rayleigh Scattering is the process of different light frequencies being scattered differently on particles in the specific size range.
