You see, these calculations for gravity that we use to do thing like gravity anomaly mapping, which helps us locate big heavy things in the Earth's crust, like ore bodies.  They have these adjustments for things like latitude, elevation, free-air, standing next to big heavy things....

Like proper theories they make testable predictions.

If you are in an airplane you weigh less than you do on the ground.

Now the Mount Everest case, Mount Everest is largely made up of sedimentary rocks, sedimentary rocks are light, there is a large keel, also largely made of sedimentary rocks below Mount Everest that helps to allow it to maintain the elevation that it has achieved.  As a result the amount of actual mass under you when you are on Mount Everest is not that much more different than if you are anywhere else on Earth.  You still need to do some adjustments when you are doing high resolution mapping, but not bad.

But in the meantime, here is another quandary for you.  In UA the acceleration would always be in one direction, and that direction would no vary depending on where you were on Earth.  Meaning that if you had a very high resolution plumb bob it would always point straight down, however, since we have these wonderful gravity anomaly adjustments we find that if you are on the border between a really heavy thing (basalt) and a really light thing (sandstone) the plumb bob will lean ever-so-slightly towards the basalt, because although the center of gravity is the same no matter where you are (within reason) the area nearest you has much more mass to one side of you than the other.

Once again, UA cannot account for this.

Yes, but I have better things to do right now, it all falls under (M(V^2))/2 = kinetic energy....

I could give you the full equation, but I fear it will not bode well for you....

However, just cause....

gobs +/- Δgl +/- Δgfa -/+ Δgb + Δgtc

Take a class on geophysics, now the mass immediately underneath you may increase depending on how uch mass you have immediately underneath you, however, how about for the birds?

I'm not a physics student, so you can do your own damn work.

I would love to find a reference to that, especially since I was working with rock samples from Antarctica yesterday.  Oh, sedimentary rocks from when Antarctica was warmer and had liquid water.  Unless of course penguins are just a conspiracy theory.

As you get higher in elevation the amount of gravity that pulls down on you decreases.  However if we were being accelerated at a constant pace, this would not occur, as even if you were at a higher elevation you would still have to be accelerating at the same rate lest the Earth smash into you.

Explain?

If it was flat the horizon would be considerably higher, considering you are looking down out of the window the entire view level with the window, and actually higher than level to the window considering that there is land across the sea, would be obscured by something visible in the distance.

Flat Earth Debate / Re: tectonic plates
« on: April 07, 2014, 07:08:59 PM »
Even better, why do the plates spread faster near the equator, and less if you go either north or south from the equator, on a flat earth wouldn't they spread faster as you went further towards Antarctica, which is actually a solid craton with no internal plate tectonics.

The 10 gram weight with the magnetic striker moves faster (assuming the magnet is strong enough to stick).  In the first cast the 10 gram weight leaves with a velocity of .33 m/s and the 5 gram weight leaves with a velocity of -1.66 m/s.  In the example of the magnetic striker the combination of the 10 gram weight, with the 5 gram weight stuck to it leaves at a velocity of .577 m/s.

And the Earth is round.

At least we admit it when we don't know something.

If that happened it would be the first time.

Usually if you don't know something you either scream that it is a conspiracy theory, complain about low content posts, move the thread, or make something up on the spot to try to support your point.

Here is a question, when the sun, or the moon sets would it not then intersect with the plane of the Flat Earth, and therefore collide with the extent past the "Ice Wall?"  How do you get a lunar eclipse since the Earth is obscuring the sun, therefore must be in between the sun and the moon.  For that to happen either the sun or the moon would have had to go through the plane of the Earth, you think that would cause an earthquake or something.

13
The difference is that if the sun was 3000 miles away the parallax angle for Alpha Centuri would translate to a distance of 805 million miles instead of 25 trillion miles away.  This would also make its orbit intersect with Saturn.

I totally understand you on this. I have been here for months and my interest is studying their minds and what make them function like that. I will reserve my opinion for now as not to offend them too much. It is pretty clear they are not normal and they will argue that.

I agree, maybe would find a few, cut them open and study their brains.  Count the wrinkles or something.  There has to be a reason that the still believe that the world is flat.

If the atmosphere is so in your way that you can't see Diamond Head then why can you see the sun when it is setting/rising?

If you consider that to be name calling then you would love what I can actually come up with.

And even if I did accidentally kick a pitbull here, thinking it was a puppy, it would be so mentally addled that it would not realize that biting is the thing to do.

In the meantime, NASA has nothing to hide, and the best start we can make would be banning Jesus and burning bibles.

Ah hell, ban all religion, Imagine there is no Heaven....

« on: November 28, 2013, 12:31:58 PM »
So what you are actually saying is that because you are not smart enough to understand math, you are just not going to allow any answer that uses it.

Seems to be about the normal response around here.

Why would they need to slow down?  They travel at a rate to match an orbit around the moon, keeping all of their inertia in the meantime.  Then they use a quick blast to escape the moon's gravity (since they are already close to that speed it does not take much energy) and then return to Earth.  Upon returning to Earth they slow down by using the Earth's atmosphere as a brake.

Or you have the more logical conclusion that the Earth is actually round, Nasa is not hiding anything in that respect, and a bunch of regressive individuals on the Internet are actually wrong about their half-baked beliefs.

PS - I believe I read on here that the Saturn V used up 96% of its fuel getting to about 200 miles altitude. As if the remaining 4% is going to take it the other 249,000 miles.

Since I have a few days off....

The Saturn V rocket uses the majority of its fuel getting to 200 miles, and accelerating to escape velocity.

The 4% of the fuel that remains is all that is needed to make the final push out into space, once you get out there it takes very little to keep going because there is no air resistance, and you are moving fast enough that you do not automatically fall back into the Earth.

If you don't believe me download Kerbal Space Program, the orbital dynamics on it are actually pretty accurate.

I haven't been to space, but then again I am into geology, I look at the rocks and then calculate what the paleo conditions of Earth were like, or just make a shit ton of money finding oil.

But your statement does at least give the the satisfaction of being able to once and for all establish that the people on this thread are mentally unhinged.

Aluminum foil hats, should be in a rubber room, danger to themselves and others, mumbling on street corners....

Yep, I have found your pigeon hole.

Silverdane has never taken any classes on meteorology apparently.

I can't debate with the mentally challenged.

I can tell you more about clouds than you would ever need to know, but you would just say I am lying so I wont.

Flat Earth General / Re: What made you think the earth is flat?

I really feel that the best hope for humanity is extinction.

The more I look at the debating skills of the people on here the less bad I feel about thinking that way.

I provide proof, and you say I am lying.

I ask you to provide proof, and you say you don't have any, or it isn't ready yet.

Which leads me to believe your all brainwashed, let me guess, fundamentalist religions?

He is trying desperately to justify an defensible position.

If you are standing on a flat plane with your eyes 2 meters high, and there is a bout 20 km away that is 5 meters high, and the waves are under 4 meters high you will be able to see the boat.

However, because of the curvature of the Earth, you can't see the boat because it is too far away, and below the horizon.

Flat Earth Debate / Re: Why does the Sun reach the horizon?
« on: November 05, 2013, 09:03:05 AM »
That is also the limitations on "bendy light"  You do not get the 23 degrees that it would take to make the sun "only appear to reach the horizon"

23 degrees in this case is one one example.

It is all so simple if you get your head out of a 2000 year old book and actually go outside and experience things for yourself.

God is dead.

The world is round.

You can go to space.

All of it is amazing, it is just sad that you can't experience it with the rest of us.

Flat Earth Debate / Re: Voyager 1 - fake?
« on: November 05, 2013, 08:56:43 AM »
Possible and easy.  You also have to remember it is possible, in some cases, to get multiple payloads on one rocket.  It is dependent on what the final orbital destination of the rocket is.

Because the clouds at the same angle are at the same distance from us, we see a halo of clouds around us, all at the same distance, and at the same elevation.

Nothing new there.
