Most round earthers come here to validate their smug sense of superiority.

Are you sure that the smugness you perceive is not the result of having so much evidence and how easy it is to debunk certain parts of the FE model is.

It could come off as smug when something is so easily proven wrong.

I have sailed many places and seen first hand much of what FE's claim is wrong. I will admit it is sometimes not hard to feel intellectually superior when I engage with FE's.  Even knowing that some intelligent people can believe the Earth is flat. Some of their arguments just ignore the most basic things and even contradict with their previous statements.

You seem like a nice person, and there are several globularists who post here that I like a lot, but so many of them are just plain old assholes.

Do you like me?

Flat Earth General / Re: Lets talk about the OBVIOUS Apollo 17 Photoshopped Picture of Earth from Moon

« on: August 13, 2016, 08:10:11 PM »

Photo manipulation dates back to some of the earliest photographs captured on glass and tin plates during the 19th Century. The practice began not long after the creation of the first photograph (1825)

An early example of tampering was in the early 1860s, when a photo of Abraham Lincoln was altered using the body from a portrait of John C. Calhoun and the head of Lincoln from a famous seated portrait by Mathew Brady – the same portrait which was the basis for the original Lincoln Five-dollar bill.

Some photo manipulations are considered skillful artwork while others are frowned upon as unethical practices, especially when used to deceive the public, such as that used for political propaganda, or to make a product or person look better.

Here is a link to the official picture:
http://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/styles/full_width_feature/public/images/296636main_1241_full_full.jpg

Here is the Picture:


When they first released this picture, they had no idea about the digital photo manipulating software that would be available to the public in the 2000s.

ANYONE CAN DO THIS:



Open the picture in Photoshop or Gimp (free) and adjust the Levels.

You can clearly see a box around the "Earth" because it was cut and pasted in.

Here is a picture of an eclipsed Moon and some planets:

I chose this picture for comparison because the moon is not as bright.

This is what it looks like when not edited with a pasted in moon/earth:


Discuss.

There we go, fixed it.

Now I will respond.

Those artifacts you see are from the jpg image compression. I have another image of a bunch of televisions from Wikimedia Commons that is also a jpg:



I use paint.net, so I downloaded gimp to try and 'replicate' these results like you did.

Results with the TV Wall:



I did lower the quality of the jpg (meaning it's more compressed) before hand, but that was only to 'replicate' what iWitness was seeing.

Then I went with a much higher quality version of what iWitness used as the first image, which can be found here. Results:



Nothing from what iWitness saw previously. That's proof it's jpg artifacts, not NASA themselves. The image he used was surely meant for viewing on a webpage, and was more compressed to allow for faster loading to accomodate for people with slower internet.

http://www.thedailybell.com/news-analysis/shock-interview-anders-bjorkman-is-a-professional-technologist-who-doesnt-believe-in-nukes/

Topic is however my Challenge. Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX suggests that six astronuts sit in six chairs in his Mars space trip capsule for six months going to Mars but has not told me how much fuel is required for the trip. Elon's Mars space trip capsule lacks a toilet! It doesn't look good. But the trip will start 2024! http://www.afr.com/technology/spacex-could-send-people-to-mars-in-2024-elon-musk-says-20160605-gpc6xz

I suggest Elon tests it himself on ground for six months. With some journalists!

They'll probably phone up Bigelow to build them a habitat while they phone up someone else to do the rest of the stuff like propulsion and holding supplies. Surely they will bring over a toilet.

And what do you mean it doesn't look good? Is that valid critique? To be honest even the interior looks futuristic.

Fliggs is being a little rude, but there is some truth in what he says. Suppose someone has to say it, plus people have been feeding heiwa here for years and won't stop. Could you get mad at a fly that keeps going back to the same piece of meat that never goes away??

As for this argument about braking with wind resistance. I can promise you wind will stop you, other wise airplanes would need little fuel to fly(well they wouldn't be able to fly anyways, but that is a different story). I have went 257 mph on two wheels at the Texas Mile...i can promise you the air will stop you lol.

Even if there was an exact line between atmosphere and space (which there isn't) who cares? Ever skip a rock?? Just skip some times slow your approach then down ya go. This is basically what they do anyways.

Some of the people here just make me shake my head

I don't think I am being rude at all. In fact, I went out of my way to not be rude. But the facts are still unpalatable and there is no way to tell someone unwilling that they suffer from a serious and high-level mental illness that isnt deeply confronting. They probably already know they are poorly educated and have a low intelligence as more than a few school reports would have said just as much.

The actual foundational truth that these self-appointed (and deluded) need to become aware of is that they are deeply and seriously mentally ill. Once that permeates their minds, there is help that can improve their lives.

I am not rude, but I am not subtle either. They are all suffering serious mental illness(es).

Heiwa is Anders Björkman.

Here are my thoughts on him:

My guess professionally he feels like a failure and unwilling to admit it to himself.  He is likely  a narcissist and mildly delusional which fuels his need to feel important in the grand scheme of things. He is projecting when he claims others are suffering from cognitive dissonance.  I  would not be surprised to find out he learned about cognitive dissonance from a therapist or psychologist  who was treating him.

Evidence:

1. He claims to have received a death sentence, because the US government has targeted him for revealing nuclear secretes. 

2. He put this on his CV on his webpage,"Björkman is a nice, friendly guy with good humour. Very brave! Very clever! And good looking."

3. He designed a solution to prevent oil spills which I suspect he expected to be received with accolades and widely used.  The reality is it was rejected by the US Coast Guard for use in US waters.  My guess it would not be used anyway since it added complexity, cost and a rather significant loss of cargo space without adding any real benefits over a multi-hull design.

4. His willful ignorance when it comes to physics. He ignores Newton's, Kepler's and Ideal Gas Laws when it does not support his belief.

5 If people lose interest he bumps this thread, usually with something to bait people.  You can see this if you look at some of his past post in this thread.

6. He lives in a building owned and operated by a company who manages subsidized housing.

7. His company does not appear on any list from official sources.  The only place his company is listed is his website.  He does not even provide a client or past project list.

8. He requested a nuclear bomb be detonated near his home.  Not accepting if they granted the request it would at the very least be a health hazard to many people.  This is a behavior of someone who at the very least thinks they are important enough to have this done just for them.

9. He feels the need to frequently say his challenge is very popular and it gets 500 visitors a day.

10.  Mentions NASA and other space agencies have not submitted anything to him.  When it is very likely people within these organizations likely never heard of him.

11. He resorts to insults, avoidance, burden of proof and claiming things off topic if he is pushed for answers and evidence for his claims.

12. He claimed to be in the satellite launch business.  Then changed that to owning shares of a company who was. Then claimed he owned shares of a company that owns shares of a company that is.  The reason he changed his claims was someone called him out and offered proof.

13.  He moved the goal post for his challenge on more than one occasion and then denied he made any changes.

14. He claims no one has ever calculated the propellant use for him.  When it has been done here and another forum.

That should be enough.  I like to list the things like this in this thread every so often.  Just in case a newcomer arrives and may take him seriously since he is an engineer.

We should challenge Heiwa to land on the moon in the Lunar Lander game, you know in 2D and all the hills with the fuel indicator and stuff.

« on: August 02, 2016, 12:16:09 AM »

The numbers do add up. You're probably just too stupid to figure out how the numbers work. Take for example Delta-v. You think it is unimportant when it is the most important statistic for a rocket's range. The second most important statistic is TWR, which you also think is unimportant. To you, the most important number is the mass of the fuel being used. Which is waaaaayyy down the list of important statistics.


And about your language:
"You probably suffer from cognitive dissonance and cannot handle my information without getting mentally disturbed with serious consequences."

Summed up: If you disagree with me, you are mentally ill. Suck my balls.

Maybe I am too stupid to figure out how numbers work and this is one reason for my Challenge (topic).  If you study the rules, apart from calculating the fuel (kg) used to produce a force (N) that changes the velocity (delta-v) and the direction, you shall also describe the trajectories and the change of velocity there.

If you need delta-v 4000 to get going to the Moon, you must calculate the force (N) required to produce it and fuel (kg) used ... and in what direction to apply it at the right time/location. It is difficult!

Anyway, if your velocity in orbit was 7 500 m/s and your velocity after leaving orbit is 11 500 m/s (delta-v 4000), your velocity at location X a couple of days later is less than 1000 m/s ... so you can continue to the Moon. Reason is that, even if you are in space, Earth gravity influences you a lot, like the gravity of the Sun.

Your velocity and direction change all the time - so position monitoring is vital.

Anyway, noone seems to be able to calculate the info required to win the Challenge! My money is safe!

To triangulate you need:

• three objects with a location
• an object or event to track
• the distance to that object recorded individually by each object

I don't know if cell towers have their location, or their distance to the reciever.

What about in places with no cell service, or not enough cell towers to triangulate? GPS devices can work there I'm sure...

First hand evidence is the most reliable sort of evidence. I question what constitutes "real evidence" to you.
I've never seen a curved horizon.    Have you?

Have you ever been to sea or have you ever been on a shore or a beach ?
What did you see as far as the horizon was concerned ?

I have been to the beach, and even to sea. The horizon is flat, not curved.

Go about 60,000 ft up on a Concorde, if it ever flies again, or another jet that goes really high like that. People have reported the horizon being curved from that high up.

What is the efficiency of the engine that you are referring to? Because 1 kg of fuel could give the same delta-v as 100kg if the engine efficiency is different.

Ask Elon Musk, CEO SpaceX! It's his capsule!  The DRAGON! All fantasy, of course, but anyway. The rocket engines are little holes in the sides. How they can steer, brake or speed up the capsule (LOL) is magic.

Look up the engines for any lifter you know. They will have a value called 'specific impulse' or 'isp'. That's their efficiency.

For example, the Vulcain 2 engine on the Ariane 5 has a specific impulse of 429 seconds in a vacuum. The F1 engine on the Saturn V has a specific impulse of 263 seconds at sea level. And the Merlin 1D has a specific impulse of 282 seconds at sea level for its regular version, and a specific impulse of 348 seconds in a vacuum for its vacuum version.

Also, any wideo/photo of a Sun without a proper filter is vorth like nothing because of the imperfection of the dewice generating even greater halo than the naked eye.

Yup. Can confirm, when CRS-9 launched I saw a much clearer shape of a flame but the camera caught a lot of glare and there was just a big ball of fire except for a little on the bottom.

Bad post.

Perhaps you could polish your social charm a bit and cut down on the needless profanity. I know you can do it.

More Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and less Oscar the Grouch.

I've seen contributive posts from you, so I know you can do it.

I get angry. No excuse.

But I am extremely frustrated at people who pretend they are something they are not.

These accounts are simply multiples who are so easy to identify for what they are with their behavior...they do not even put good effort into their work. Yet they get paid.

Regardless, I will cut out the profanity and substitute blank spaces...

This is not my forum and I will respect the owners' wishes. I do not even like to      in some body else's house.

But back on topic.

Debunk was extremely disingenuous in his OP. I could loosely say the scientific equivalent of a faux political message, except that too would be a faux message, because Debunk is incapable of practicing science. He believes in science fiction, which is not all that bad a thing, but it is when it interferes in reality and when it becomes criminal in nature, such as accepting taxpayer funds under false pretenses.

Nah m8. In fact I'm sure you're just a Poe and maybe (just maybe) you've tricked some flat earthers. I'd like to get to know the real you, even if you "totallackey" are real. I'm sure you're someone else, maybe even operated by the same person operating Papa Legba's account.

A rocket is no different to any other object that is subject to different forces.

Lets make this simple.

If the CoP is behind the CoG the forces resulting from aerodynamics will tend to damp out any instability in the rocket.

If the CoP is ahead of the CoG the aerodynamic forces will tend to increase instability. So in order to increase stability a force must be applied opposite to the instable force. Hence use of a gimbal engine.

Simple analysis of forces at work

Perfect.

You sound like shill.

That's going straight into my signature.

Bye bye!

Still no fucked up CGI you have to post, uh...What's the matter?


Your handlers do not trust you is what's the matter...

You shills really must tighten up your game.

I don't have handlers. I'm not told what to post. If I want to debunk something, 80% of the time I will debunk it. The other 20% of the time I'm just frustrated on how people can be that stupid. Also, I'm not a shill. I don't have a paycheck from anyone like NASA or anyone for doing such thing. I'm sure you're some guy joking around laughing at your posts because you're a Poe.

Yeah, you got handlers.

And you are a liar.

You post an OP asking for video, when you supposedly have one.

Lulz!

My video wasn't that great. Also, people say the landing was fake, so I'm trying to find as much images, video as possible of the landing.
