Flat Earth Debate / Re: There is no Flat Earth Theory
« on: September 13, 2017, 07:27:55 PM »
Admittedly, I don't have the background in mathematics to capture the finer points of what is being expressed. However, I do have the requisite knowledge of logic and its underpinnings to detect when a position is being stated without adequate support.  I also know that the positions being claimed by the FE crowd either ignore or refute without support arguments that are supported.  This is one of the many problems here.

My original assertion stands; Flat Earth is not a theory, not even by a longshot.
It is discussing a different topic, the angle of elevation of the sun and either using that to determine the height of the sun, or comparing that to that calculated for a FE model with the sun at some height.

It was simple, take a specific longitude and then look at the elevation angle for the sun for different longitudes and thus different distances, making sure you have a place where the sun is pretty much directly overhead.
From this, construct a right angle triangle to determine the height of the sun
. This gives massively inconsistent results.
Sily con then invented a formula to try to "correct" for an error in the sun not being directly overhead that location, based upon absolutely nothing (after already being given a formula which uses 2 locations, the angle of the sun at each and the distance between them to determine the height

Are you just 100% batshit crazy? I have not seen a single formula from you or rab that 'constructs' a 90 degree right triangle to determine the height of the sun.

Good evening ladies and gentleman.  I am a new visitor to this association and would like to simultaneously introduce myself while offering you all a note of departure as well.

I would like to simultaneously say goodbye while letting you know everything you posted here is horseshit.
Glad to see you weren't banned and have just abandoned the other thread due to how many times you were refuted and because you have run out of excuses.

Do you have any refutation of any of his arguments?
If not, why should any rational person accept your baseless claims that what they posted is horseshit?

Only you could argue with math.  It works, it speaks for itself, and quite frankly destroys Rab's original questioning. 

This guy clearly shows he doesn't understand what is being conveyed from his replies.  So there is no point in refuting a misunderstanding.  And since he hasn't taken the time to actually understand, it means he won't take the time to understand my replies and it will make responding pointless.  So again, goodbye to your horseshit Gumwars.

You clicked a bad link, try this one


Can you C/N the video? I'm not going to let them make money off of me.

This video isn't some crappy video. 
It's a very real, well done documentary concerning this family.   
Also, your view is not going to contribute much since this video has nearly 4 million views already. 
If you honestly don't know who they are I would highly recommend watching this.
However it's only surface level stuff.

Not everything. Someone still has to automate it.  Systems still need to gather data. Someone has to work on those systems.

Why would the satellite's data streams have to be fake?  Why couldn't there be planes or weather balloons, collecting data as a normal course of business from some government agency, then that data just stitched together and sent off to some other entity for more processing and then sent off once again to be plugged in as 'satellite data'
That is the definition of faking satellite data streams. So yes, they do and it would require  massive amounts of people.

Ok so your agreeing with me about the massive amount of people unknowingly 'faking' satellite data?

Seems cell towers could use trilateration, instead of satellites no?

From the things I've read here, I can see the possibility that GPS could work without satellites, or the need to fake anything.  Satellite towers and radio towers are just as real as they appear so I'm not sure what your point is.
And just how does this GPS and satellite phones work over deserts and the open oceans hundreds of kilometres away from any possible locations your imaginary GPS towers.

I've also wondered why, if GPS and sat phones use terrestrial towers, both are blocked by overhead structures, but cellphones continue to work perfectly.

So, the point is that what you are claiming is completely unproven hogwash dreamt up you to fit your ridiculous earth model.
You do the same thing with sunsets and sun elevations.

Just what will you come up with next to support the unsupportable?

All real evidence shows that GPS, sat phones and DBS satellite TV actually does use satellites.
And the hundreds of thousands involved in the provision, installation and maintenance of such systems must be aware of this.
So your imagined conspiracy would have to include all these people too!

Why is this project even necessary?  Just build satellites. the Gog has plenty of money and connections to do that.  Maybe its because they can't because they don't exist.

People like silicon can't fathom just how big the conspiracy would have to be.

I doubt it's very big.  Why do you think it has to be?  If you're going to give a list of occupations like, ship captains, pilots, and pizza delivery guys to NASA just stop.  It's silly.
Well they have to have a team in the 1000's to do all the CGI that you guys claim. Another couple teams of 1000's to fake all the data that comes from space. Weather and geological to name a few. All the GPS faking technicians. Do you think all the satellite radio towers and satellite tv towers fix themselves? Not to mention there is millions of them hidden to fake XM satellite radio and such.
So yeah, feeble mines like yours can't comprehend the shear size of The Conspiracy.

Aw Sokarul, thats not very nice.  This 'group' is most likely operating via slight of hand. So the CGI that you see from the ISS for example may have some realistic base to it.  They are higher up flying around, and the video captured is manipulated to give the appearance of their claims.
People still have to do it. Still takes massive amount of people doing it 24/7.

Satellite towers don't exist. There would have to be millions of hidden towers. What do you not understand about this? Who works on them? All the weather satellite's data streams have to be faked, LIVE, 24/7. Do you think 5 people can do that?

This is a 2d drawing  :o


Did you notice what happens when it is viewed from a different angle?

Thanks for proving the moon cannot be disc and instead must be a 3D object roughly spherical in shape (or at least with a spherical endcap).

If you want to convince a rational person that the moon is flat, you need to show a single 2D drawing that looks like a circle regardless of where it is viewed from, and produces the same shadow patterns observed on the moon, that is they change depending upon the phase of the moon.

Did you really think I was trying to say the actual moon is a 2d drawing?

At 10:20 he claims that crepuscular rays  ;D ;D prove that the sun is just above the clouds.  ;D ;D
If that's his level of understanding of perspective, I don't have the time to waste - unless I get tired of watching the grass grow.

The idea of the sun's being "just above the clouds" is just as idiotic under the flat earth model as it is for the globe.
  Any person claiming this should google for "crepuscular rays forest". According to this observed phenomenon sun is much-much-much lower, just above treetops.
Yes, flat earthers come up with such interpretations of crepuscular rays.

So the sun is in the trees of Golden Gate Park, San Francisco!
         

And is the sun in the clouds above this Scottish Loch?
Is "the sun in the clouds above this Scottish Loch  :P" or "In the trees of Golden Gate Park, San Francisco  :P".
I must have missed it when I was in Scotland, maybe Nessie scared it away and it certainly wasn't in that tree last time I was in Golden Gate Park.

Seems that they now have to decide if the sun is a few tens of metres high in San Francisco, a few kilometers high over Scotland, no more than 15 km high (Sandokhan), no more than 700 statute miles (Rowbotham) or the 4828 km Silicon is trying to prove.

Now, I am confused!
Or look up anti-crepuscular rays.  These are seen on the opposite horizon as the sun. If they are supposed to point to the sun then the sun would be spread out over the whole sky.

I use to think people had a problem with reading comprehension, now it seems they can't even watch a 20 minute video and comprehend it.  If you watched the entire thing you would have NEVER posted this since the video agrees with you!

No way.  I've read his 'debates' with Jane and Sandokhan. I think the best thing to do is just tell him he's right first thing... then he'll just argue against himself for pages and pages and implode
Well you get one thing right, it is quite pointless lying and pretending I am wrong and continually spouting garbage like you have been doing.

Now that you are back are you planning on showing us how the FE is consistent with sun elevation angles?

You're right about the sun, its about 5000, km high. You've proven it.  Congrats.  What do you want? A medal?
No JackBlack did not say he'd proven it!
He asked "are you planning on showing us how the FE is consistent with sun elevation angles?".
It look's like you can't even read simple words now.

But you still can't face simple facts, so you just ignore them.
That's the typical flat earth approach! Either declare inconvenient facts are fake or simply ignore them.

You totally ignore all I say and concentrate on your deceitful fudging of the maths.
Guess there's nothing new there with your massive upside down refraction explanation of sunsets.

Have another look!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
  • I could not care less about your fudge factors!
  • You have never responded to the very simple straightforward claims that I have made.
  • I still can't find any reference to your magic video that shows the sun's size changing,
So please Mr Silicon, just face the facts!
  • Unless you claim that the light from the sun bends through impossible angles your model of the sun over the flat earth is impossible.
  • The size of the sun does not change measurably from rising to setting, except for possible small changes near the horizon
Here, I've put the North Pole into the mix, I'll add it to the diagrams when I get time.
The following table gives the data for each location.
All sun elevation was obtained from Sun Earth Tools as close as possible to the local midday on the equinox of UTC 20/Mar/2016  16:48.

Now you try to fit a sun elevation of 0.53° and flat earth sun height of 93 km into your fudged equations.
There is no logical justification for assuming that the sun is 5000 km above the earth.
Look again at:

Sun Height on Flat Earth along 70°W Long
   


Sun Height on Globe Earth along 70°W Long

Likewise there is no justification for claiming that the angular size of the sun changes significantly from sunrise to sunset.
As in this video from the flat earther,  Matrix Decode:
[youtube][/youtube]
Flat Earth - The Size Of The Sun, Matrix Decode
.

These facts
           are not consistent with a close sun and a flat earth but
           are perfectly consistent with a very distant sun and a Globe shaped earth.

Nothing that you have shown, even with all your fudging (cheating) has proven otherwise, just get used to it.

I have completely destroyed this.   You could never "make" a 30,000 mile high sun or a 1,000 mile high sun using the same variables in such a simple formula consistently.   It's over.  There is no "fudging of maths" You know it, Jackass knows it,  and everyone here knows it.

Now, there is more to this but its takes time to get a handle on it.   In the mean time, watch this recently released video.  What we have debated here is probably only scratching the surface....try to wait out the music, its worth it.

It cannot be a reflection.  Nice try tho.
Why not?  Of the camera is inside the shuttle shooting through a window why can't there be a reflection?

Because flat earthers believe reflections are fake and not real and are a made up fiction of science!
Thats why flat earthers dont own any mirrors lol  ;D

There are many problems you probably haven't noticed, such as the window being covered where the camera is. It shows this 2 times.  You can compare it with the window next to it which is not covered.

Can't? When it's light on the inside and dark on the outside you get reflections.
Not in this case
