Flat Earth General / Re: I require some input.

ALPHA20MEGA

if the tanks 8.4M across. And 45M high, if you applied two coats (probably 3, as white does not cover well. Maybe even 4 over a dark cour) then your looking at 18.4 ten litre pales of paint.

They average at 12 square metres per litre.

1 ten litre pale averages at around 11kg.

(Depending on manufacturer, depends on volume solids. This is the bit left behind when the water evaporates) .... Lets say 50% volume solids. Some more some less

Then we are left with approximately 100kg of paint weight on the fuel tank.

Which is allot I suppose for a rocket. But nothing in the big scheme of things.

How far would an object, 3000 miles high, have to be away from the observer, for it to even touch the horizon?

Cheers Stanton.

Do you get what I'm trying to say though?

Does flat earth believe in gravity or not? If it does not, why do heavy things filter to the bottom still  (is essentially what I'm saying)

I think you've nailed it RABINOZ.

I'm no mathematician. Believe that. But at 3000 mile up.. for the sun to even be near the horizon it would have to be easy over 1 million miles away from the observer.

To dip below the horizon altogether.... forgedabowdit.

Yep that's what I got.

There's a lighthouse where I live. It's approximately 20m from sea level to the light. That still looks well above the horizon from across the Bay 10K away.

The Sun then is  some 241,350 times higher as the light house.

So to have the Sun anywhere close to the horizon at that height it would need to be 2,413,500 (yes that's two million) MILES away from the observer.

oh baby this is crude maths. (And potentially wrong, but not massively) But it means the sun SHOULD ALWAYS be above the horizon and visible to everyone on earth at all times at a poultry 40,000K diameter flat earth.

The fact it dips below the horizon AT ALL should be ringing alarms bells in everyone's brains.

Can someone smarter than me please do the maths for thr following....

On a flat plain, how far would an object 3000 miles high have to be away for it to appear to dip below the horizon? .. or at least touch the horizon..

Please. Anyone.

Flat Earth Q&A / Re: light does not travel forever
« on: May 03, 2016, 07:09:25 PM »
Thanks Charming.

That doesn't make any sense to me though.

On a clear day, over the Pacific, the Sun willl set and it will get dark in a calculatable way. Ie  (made up figure) 30 minutes after sunset.

We know that light must travel at least half the distance of the diameter of the earth. As the light from the 'stars' reaches us from the highest point of the dome.

So either the Sun, has moved from directly over head of me at noon to over 20+ thousand miles away in 6 or so hours,

Or there are ALWAYS clouds beyond the hire on to block the rays in a calculatable way.

Anyone's input would be welcome here... please.

Haha Sokarul. .

So WHAT does cause objects to filter between big and small then?

Also, as the moon, I think, the Sun actually looks bigger on the horizon (I knows that perspective) .. but I think it should stil look much smaller than directly above.

On a flat plain for the sun to be hitting the horizon at 3000 miles up.. (im going to make this up now) it would have to be something like 20+ thousand miles away. I would have thought, at anywhere near this distance, an object of 30 miles across would have to appear smaller. Then again I don't know for sure.. what do you think....

Flat Earth General / Density vs Gravity
« on: May 03, 2016, 05:53:19 PM »
I'm trying to get my head around thus one.

I'm no scientist. I have to rely on evermore (un)common sense for many things. My question is:

If density (the filtering of large and small objects) is to replace gravity (of which wal thornhill has probably come the closest to explaining... probably) .. then what must be acting on the objects to filter?

.. as gravity, I thought, was what pulled the heavier objects downwards. Even in water, there is buoyancy, but it's still gravity acting on objects, just in competition with the buoyancy of water. In a gravityless (maybe a new word :)) space the filtration FE is talking about does not work. All is suspended. So I suppose the second question is:

What IS IT that is allowing the filtration of heavy to light?

I'll leave this to the experts I think.

Flat Earth Q&A / The Sun

I've been hearing that the Sun is 3000+ miles from the face of the earth.

Im not hot on Maths. My question is: At that distance, wouldn't the sun be visible constantly in the sky and viewable from anywhere on the planet? (Albeit on or near the horizon)
