Broadcast towers, Radio, TV etc compensate for bendy light
« on: September 02, 2008, 09:29:04 PM »
How do the various transmitters compensate for bendy light since it affects all EM radiation.

Since the path of waves is not deflected in a linear fashion towers would have to be situated quite close together.

How do single units supply sufficient coverage to wide areas with the inherent losses associated with beam deflection?

i give up - how?
Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

This is like asking how the transmitters can work on a Round Earth, since its surface would curve away from the straight paths of light rays.

I know almost nothing about broadcast towers but I assume that since they are high up that compensates for the curve of the earth (which is extremely shallow). Its kinda like if you are higher up the horizon recedes.
Just noticed my name is actually pretty insulting. Apologies.

Same thing happens to compensate for the bending of the light, then.

With the whole subject I was thinking about all forms of broadcast. Not just towers. The stratellites etc. Wouldn't the beams would have significant divergence from their intended target.

No more than the effect of a Round Earth curving away from the radiation would be. In fact, the effect of the curvature of a Round Earth is more severe over long distances than that of light bending on a Flat Earth.

They need to be equal otherwise bendy light wouldn't be equivalent to RE observations.

What observations? You guys keep telling us that there are observations, but we never see any.  ???

See this thread...

The pictures in that thread support either the concept of a RE or the concept of bendy light that is equivalent to it.

They are very close to equal over short distances (that is, less than a thousand kilometres or so) where the light is horizontal.

Dyno's images are exactly consistent with what Samuel Birley Rowbotham tells us we should experience.

From the chapter Perspective on the Sea from Earth Not a Globe we read the following:

"We have now to consider a very important modification of this phenomenon, namely, that whereas in the several instances illustrated by diagrams Nos. 71 to 84 inclusive, when the lower parts of the objects have entered the vanishing point, and thus disappeared to the naked eye, a telescope of considerable power will restore them to view; but in the case of a ship's hull at sea a telescope fails to restore it, however powerful it may be."

Samuel Birley Rowbotham tells us directly that a telescope will not be able to restore the hull on a sea due to the waves and swells. Dyno used his telescope to look at the sea, so his being unable to restore the hull to any significant degree is exactly what Samuel Birley Rowbotham predicts.

The Winship and Teed experiments which restored the hulls of ships when viewed through a telescope were conducted on calm bodies of water such as lakes: http://www.sacred-texts.com/earth/cc/cc21.htm

Then why can't I see all of the hull of a ship that is "only" 14 nautical miles away?  It isn't swell or seas because I can observe the height of those and it doesn't account for the loss.  If light is going to bend, it has to have bent tens of feet over that distance.

Winship made his observations of ships at sea.  (http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=22317.msg464129#msg464129 or http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=22317.msg464992#msg464992)

How was he able to "bring back the hull" when Rowbotham wasn't?

Because the effect of the EA is nearly the same as what would happen on a RE, perhaps?

But that require dismissing all of the Rowbotham observations that were quoted above.

But if he was wrong, that brings us down to proving that either light bends, or the observations are caused by RE.  That makes the list of tests significantly shorter.

Actually, it makes it longer. We don't know whether or not he was wrong, therefore we have three possible theories, not two.

Well, we can link EA and RE for these observations against Rowbotham.  If Rowbotham is right, then the observations that were made show that both EA and RE are wrong.  If we believe the observations that show the disappearance of the hull, then Rowbotham would be wrong.  We can eliminate one of the two options.

What more is there to restore in my images?

You can see the waterline in the elevated shots. Do you want to see below the water? The waterline is the most you can see? What are you talking about? DO you think things through before you post them?

There isn't anything else.  You can clearly see the wetted area of the hull at the waterline.

No they don't.  That is part of the point.  If they actually thought about things, it would make it difficult to believe.  Of course, very few of them believe and are just spewing out shit, so you can treat most of it as such.
