It has also come to my attention that the Arora Borealis (northern lights) comes into play.

"Auroras are now known to be caused by the collision of charged particles (ions (+) (-) ) found in the magnetosphere, with atoms in the Earth's upper atmosphere (at altitudes above 80 km). These particles travel into space with speeds of 300 to 1200 kilometers per second. A cloud of these particles is called plasma, and a stream of plasma coming from the sun is called solar wind. These charged particles are typically energized to levels between 1 and 15 keV and, as they collide with atoms of gases in the atmosphere, the atoms become excited. Shortly afterwards, the atoms emit their gained energy as light (see Fluorescence). Light emitted by the Aurora tends to be dominated by emissions from atomic oxygen, resulting in a greenish glow (at a wavelength of 557.7 nm) and — especially at lower energy levels and at higher altitudes — the dark-red glow (at 630.0 nm of wavelength). Both of these represent forbidden transitions of electrons of atomic oxygen that, in absence of newer collisions, persist for a long time and account for the slow brightening and fading (0.5-1 s) of auroral rays. Many other colors — especially those emitted by atomic and molecular nitrogen (blue and purple, respectively)"

"Why are there Colors in the Aurora?" University of Alaska Fairbanks website
http://ffden-2.phys.uaf.edu/211.fall2000.web.projects/Christina%20Shaw/AuroraColors.html

This solar wind is specific to the radiation emitted from a sun sustained by stellar fusion. In other words, YOU FAIL.  8)

Ah, non, the Flat Earth, she has a magnetic field. As long as the FE sun works in the same way as the RE sun (which it can't) then it will still give off solar wind, which still produces the aroras.

Although, exactly where the south pole of the earth's magnetic field is, we do not know.

My point exactly. Studies on the Arora Borealis show that the sun emits radiation specific to stellar fusion. Stellar fusion uses immense gravity, heat, etc.

Conclusion: FE model broken. :o

No, this is a classic case of defeated Bishop. He knows there's no way out, so he's going to copy and paste his usual stuff in some other threads, until he's defeated there, too.

What makes you think it doesn't?

Einsteins work explicitly states the need for ether.  As does ae-theory and quantum mechanics.   Are you saying we should throw those out?

I just don't like to justify observed phenomenons with unproven concepts. My own common knowledge is in agreement with the statement:
"The general attitude to this amongst physicists today seems to be that Einstein's comments don't count because they stretch the idea of aether theory too far: it is argued that a "non-particulate" aether theory is not really an aether theory, or at least, it doesn't correspond to the idea of "historical" aether theory that is currently taught."

It was a speculative tangent for a potential explanation. No factual experimental evidence (that I have heard of) proves it existence. This is not nearly enough to base an entire debate on when the RE theory has no need for special properties to trick our senses. That like stating a lamp post, four feet away on a clear day in temperate weather, a mirage before mirages were proven to exist. Except mirages do exist.

Einsteins work states a need for a solution and aether was merely a possibility he thoroughly examined.

Besides, how can you attribute this effect to aether without more knowledge of what it is? I assume you don't completely understand what it is. If I'm wrong, can you explain what non particulate aether is?

The word ether is frowned upon, true, however the concept has been used elsewhere.

Yes I can, but it has been shown that there is particulate aether too.  And yes, I understand what both are.  However, I am not here to do your research.  You should know what a particle is.

So night could not possibly happen in FE. The suns light, since it travels in all directions, will hit the atmosphere at the right angle in the right place to get to the ground on the side of the earth that should be "dark".

Tom,

Can you please respond to this diagram. It appears to blow you refraction theories out of the water (if there there was indeed that much refection taking place).

I haven't performed it and I've never claimed to. I've have trouble being in two places at the same time.

That diagram would be true if the FE sun were spherical. However, that is merely a theory, since the actual shape of the FE sun and how it works has not been solidified, so we cannot debate whether it is right or wrong. My diagram shows that the sun in FE cannot be spherical and emit light in all directions.
So, the hypothesis is now that the sun is a spotlight, however how such an object would function is again in the realms of speculation, because FE does not have an explanation for the workings of an FE sun. Until it does, the theory is flawed and therefore wrong.

I meant, scientists would rather call something "quantum foam" or "dark energy" or whatever instead of calling it aether, just because it has gotten, and forgive me, a "bad rap".

You are right, perhaps the RE model is a tiny bit more elegant in this regard.  This doesn't make it correct, though.  The question though, which I should have stated clearer, should have been: what else could explain it in a FE model?

The existence of a non-particulate aether follows directly from Einstein's work.  The existence of of a particulate aether is shown in quantum physics.  Furthermore, you have other examples of aether concepts such as dark energy etc scattered about.

So no, I am not saying that.  It seems to be much more.

therefore the theory does not work.
It works in RE, due to known science.
Therefore RE > FE.
