This is all very interesting but way above my comprehension level.
Zeteticism is all about using personal observations and common sense to explain phenomena - There has to be a better way to demonstrate the shape of the earth then invoking phenomena you can only detect under certain conditions with special equipment.
Find a way to demonstrate 'beam neutrinos' to a lay-person like me if you intend to use them as proof of the sun's path in relation to the earth.
I, too, am a lay-person and I understood this thread quite perfectly. I doubt that any of us could duplicate the experiments on our own, but I'm sure if you ask nicely enough, Bowler would happily arrange for you to review his data. Maybe if you ask really nicely, he'll figure out how to get you to a neutrino detector or emitter. Billions of people will never duplicate these experiments, but that does not change their validity.
The relevant information is:
-Neutrinos do not interact with matter
-Neutrinos travel in a straight line
-Neutrinos can be emitted and detected in repeatable experiments
-Neutrinos that are emitted with a 1 degree downward direction are detected at large distances and at a higher local elevation than where they were emitted.
Absent any other information that might satisfy the data, the experiment proves a round earth. Interestingly, this was not the intent of the experiment, just a fun by-product.
