Tom, it is a pleasure to know that you are posting here, I thank you very much for your insights and comments.
Username, I will provide here, the very best information on the Michelson-Morley disaster of 1887, so that all can see how the aether concept has been conveniently eliminated from the official physics.
Sok, I think that you saw that you need to study much more than you have done up until now; your level of understanding of physics is an eclectic shambles openly inviting anyone in the vicinity to rip it into shreds. You need to study the motivation which drove A. Michelson and E. Morley to perform the experiment of 1887, and what caused J. Maxwell to eliminate the vortex ether terms in his equations.
Here is a site which will help everybody to understand aether further (the classic material is of course, Tesla's quote which I posted earlier):
http://www.mountainman.com.au/aether.htmlThe atom is an aetheric vortex, and not at all composed of particles. Plenty of sources, exceptionally documented to show you this fact.
Here's how the original Maxwell equations were modified, material you won't find in official physics course taught in universities:

Maxwell's 1864 paper 'A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field' abandons the theory of molecular vortices that was a central feature of his 1861 paper 'On Physical Lines of Force'. Even after writing part I of his 1861 paper, Maxwell realized that a purely hydrodynamical approach to electromagnetic theory is insufficient, and so he introduced electrical particles and gradually shifted over to a more dynamical approach. This article investigates whether or not any physics was lost as a result of Maxwell abandoning his theory of molecular vortices. The focus of attention is centred on equation (5) of his 1861 paper, as this equation contains components that can be demonstrated to simultaneously represent both the Coriolis force and the Lorentz force, therefore implying that the Lorentz force is a kind of Coriolis force. Since a rotating frame of reference is needed for a Coriolis force, it follows that the Lorentz force must depend entirely on the rotating aethereal substance within Maxwell's vortex cells. The conclusion is that Maxwell made a serious error when he abandoned his theory of molecular vortices, and that the physical explanation for the Lorentz force was lost as a result.

http://www.aquestionoftime.com/lorentz.htmhttp://www.aquestionoftime.com/michmore.htmhttp://www.orgonelab.org/miller.htmThese papers by Michelson and also by Kennedy-Thorndike have conveniently been forgotten by modern physics, or misinterpreted as being totally negative in result, even though all were undertaken with far more precision, with a more tangible positive result, than the celebrated Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887. Michelson went to his grave convinced that light speed was inconstant in different directions, and also convinced of the existence of the ether. The modern versions of science history have rarely discussed these facts.
And again, the extraordinary books which demonstrate the errors/fallacies present in Einstein's work:

For those interested in the cosmogony-aether connection I can recommend three superb books:

original source of the photograph, just like I have done here, in order not to invite other kinds of comments...
Here's why:
This is an original photograph:

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a30/onthepage/various/pamant2.jpgSo, we would have to know the original source for the photo, but we will pretend that sok was correct and that he posted the right stuff.
Let us take a slight detour and investigate what is going in Holland, Michigan:
http://www.countrytours.com/Tours_US/ALM/images/map.gif (map of lake michigan)
And now the story, from a distance of 128 km (80 miles) the people of Holland can see clearly the buildings of the city of Milwaukee:
http://www.hollandsentinel.com/stories/052803/loc_052803001.shtmlObserve the nonsensical comments made by the NWS, regarding atmospheric reffraction...this is a phenomenon to be observed, under special conditions, in the Arctic and the Antarctica, ice reflected by clouds, and you'd immediately realize what is going on...
Contrary to the official propaganda, atmospheric reffraction does not play a role in the flat earth/round earth debate...
Here are some extraordinary photographs showing mountains (distance of 150 km) from a city (sea level), no atmospheric reffraction at all:

Sok, please specify
the distance involved,
the curvature, and who made this photograph, and where exactly it was taken, from where; we need more details, in order to analyze what you are saying here, see what Tom just said:
That would depend at what distance the sinking effect occurs...
Shadowstrife, same comment to you; when you will have something interesting to say, please let us know; until then, study hard to see how a spherically shaped earth could not have possibly existed in the first place...I offer evidence that is well known to everybody, the White Cliffs can be seen from France even with the naked eye, not to mention a binocular/telescope, and the photographs are included here with a source...so far nobody has presented any evidence re: the round earth that even would require more than two seconds of attention...
So, sok, we all waiting for your sources, distances, curvature, the whole thing...just like I have done here...
