Concorde

Now I understand any pictures taken from space that show a round earth are just part of the "conspiracy" but how do you guys explain the fact that the concorde flew at 60,000 ft where the curve of the earth was clearly visible. now this would have to be hard to be part of the conspiracy because it is a private company and private individuals would take trips on it and if you ask any of the thousands of passengers who flew on it they will be more thatn happy to tell you about the curve of the earth.

The service ceiling of the Concorde is 60,000 feet. I doubt it flew that high besides during testing. Their is a certain altitude where fuel economy (from a thinner atmosphere) is outweighed by having to actually CLIMB to the altitude.  Pilots decide on a cruising altitude for a specific flight based on a few factors. Mainly the duration of the flight, the payload, the direction of the trip (to conform to regulations), area specific altitude restrictions and weather along the route.

But I'm just making this up. I'm not a pilot, right?

the concorde usually flew at an altitude somewhere between 50,000 - 60,000 ft depending on the conditions of the day so it could maintain its supersonic speed but the fact is that even at 50,000 ft the curve is still visible.

I agree. But good luck convincing these losers.

No need to be name calling.

Perhaps, you should heed your own advice.

To all of you ignorant morons who believe the Earth is flat...If the earth has been accelerating since its beginning then we would have passed the speed of light millions of years ago. how the hell could anyone who is conscious believe this? Is your IQ that of your age? If you say it is all giant conspiracy with "space mirrors" I will explode with anger. If there were space mirrors how do they accelerate with the Earth? What is the mirrors keeping from crashing into Earth.Another thing the ice wall when global warming takes a huge toll in 40 or 50 years there will be no "ice wall" left and our oceans would magically fall off the Earth. Stay tuned for more of my rantings.

You, sir, have shown yourself an idiot.  Remember, the faster you go, the slower time goes.

   I'm an exception silly

Edit:  Actually, in that case Gulliver, he gave the right to me for insulting by insulting first.  I can't believe you had to go back 2 mos to find something either, I thought I called people names all the time.

Oh, there were lots of cases. I just liked that one in particular. 

The subject is Concorde, btw. 

I love RE theory. Feel free to claim the curveature of the earth is observeable, but do so without evidence.

We had this experiment before, Only about 3 RE'ers braved the storm and posted images of the horizon from a plane. I walked the RE'ers through opening the images in paint, drawing a line on the horizon, and noticing it was actually flat.

Perhaps there are some brave RE'ers here today?
... didn't think so. But dont let me stop you from posting evidence-free claims.

Actually, there were some pictures that detailed curvature.  I have not yet found a picture showing a flat surface from high altitudes.

Me think it is because they have some sort of plasma screens fixed in their windows which display computer-generated animations of flying above curved horizon. Remember the conspirators have lots of money they get for space missions so they can afford that!

I would love to see these pictures.

I love that line.

My kitchen floor is slanted, so the Earth is toroidal.

Actually, there were some pictures that detailed curvature.  I have not yet found a picture showing a flat surface from high altitudes.

There are also pictures showing curvature of the horizon from sea level. In reality there is no such curvature.

What do pictures taken with the wrong lens type prove?

It proves that pictures detailing a flat horizon is not proof that the Earth is flat.

My cookies flat and round, so FE model must be true.

easily the best user on these bullshit forums.

Even if you would be shown a 1000000 pictures from high altitude flights, you would find excuses to prove your flat earth theory. So before you take a look at any picture that can easily prove you wrong, you need to open your mind's eye. And your little experiment of opening a picture (of the horizon) in paint proves only one thing, like previously mentioned, that the picture WASN'T taken from a high enough altitude.

Btw, have YOU ever flown in an airplane?

you can also read all of the accounts that passengers say that they could see the curve of the earth while in flight, but if you would rather open a 2D picture of a 3D object and assume there is no distortion on the picture is a bit uninformed

Yes, many times. Most of us here have. The few the pretend their high-altitude experiences are unique are simply ignorants.

And as I expected, no one cares to post a picture. I have a feeling that we'll still see people hold to this argument, regardless. And thats sad.

Your turn is coming, pal. In just a few days, we'll have you dining on crow. It might be a good time for your computer to go on the fritz. We do take the FE's challenges, even when they ignore our challenges, seriously. You may want to be careful what battles you want to fight.

Here now you can go into ms paint (cutting edge software that is) and put your thick line on it so it will look flat

Alright, here's the plan, or at least an outline. First, realize that the effect is difficult to detect, so we'll need to gather our evidence carefully, do careful measurements, analyze the data carefully, and reach our conclusions methodically.

Step 1: Design an Access database to hold the data and results. I envision at least three tables: Photo, Measurement, Summary. While the summary table will violate 2NF, I suggest that the complexity of the analysis makes this violation prudent.
Step 2: Develop the database.
Step 3: Develop the process to gather the data (how to select photo and perform the measurements).
Step 3: Populate the input side of the database (photo and measurement).
Step 4: Design a SAS 9.1.3 program using BASE, STAT, and ACCESS.
Step 5: Develop the program (include debugging).
Step 6: Run the program.
Step 7: Publish the results.
