Do you have any real, tangible proof that the Earth is flat?

So you're saying if we all go away and stop trying to force the truth on you, after a few days, you'll get bored of this nonsense and see things the way they actually are?

I think he may be saying the opposite - if you stop trying to force us to see your warped view of reality, maybe you will notice the simplicity and obviousness of FET.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

Wow, you know what, that argument was so well thought out and persuasive that I've actually given up on FET.  Praise be that I have surrendered my free will, logic and reason to brainwashing and peer pressure!

rational argument has no effect on you anyway so why bother?

Thanks for stepping in John, it was making a mockery of the entire site.

yeah, that's what is making a mockery of the site, not your insane, pointless, meaningless "theory."

Tangible lit means "touchable".

I'm sorry, but do YOU have any tangible proof than when your eyes see an area that looks flat, and a level tells you an area is flat, and you can built houses without leveling adjustment, and your hands and feet touch an area and you don't feel on a slope, you're "really" standing on a curve.

A blind person could prove you wrong.

"The M5 gun director" to a platform.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Director_(military)#Example

Wonder what calculations went with the M5 when used for targeting…

Quote

The M5 director is used to determine or estimate the altitude or slant range of the aerial target.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Director_(military)#Example

Slant Range?

New term to kick around?

Slant Range

https://www.radartutorial.eu/01.basics/Slant%20Range.en.html



However, this would only be valid if the earth were a flat disk. In addition, however, the earth's radius also has an effect, as shown in figure 3. Thus, the actual topographic distance concerning the slant distance measured by the radar depends on:
the measured slant range,
the actual height of the aim, and
the earth radius, which is valid for the location of the radar unit.



From figure 3 one can see the solution approach. A triangle between the points: Center of the earth, the location of the radar unit, and the location of the flight target, whose sides defines the cosine theorem and thus by the equation:
R2 = re2 + (re + H)2 - 2re(re + H) · cos α
(re is the equivalent radius of the earth).
Under the assumption that the earth is a sphere, from the angle α, the part of the earth's circumference can be calculated with a simple ratio calculation from the total earth circumference:
360° · Rtopogr. = α · 2π re
This partial section of the earth circumference can be regarded as an approximation (here still without consideration of the refraction) to the actual topographic distance.
In practice, however, the propagation of electromagnetic waves is also subject to refraction, i.e. the transmitted beam of the radar is not a rectilinear side of this triangle, but this side is additionally also curved depending on
the transmitted wavelength,
the barometric pressure,
the air temperature and
the atmospheric humidity.
Since all these parameters cannot be included in the radar video map, the map is inevitably inaccurate if the radar software does not take into account the relationship between slant range and topographic range. And this is unfortunately always the case with 2D radar devices since these lack the height information compellingly necessary for these computations!

Didn’t see anything about visually adjusting for the fucking delusional parabola….

I can always tell DataOverload posts. He drags out the same twenty diagrams even though I've debated those.

For someone who is going to overload me with data, you sure have a shortage!

Dude, in that model, your radar would not be level and would not hit a perfect triangle like that. It would slant all right, it would slant in such a way that the plane would sail by.

I already mentioned this. I also quoted scripture on building houses on unsteady ground.

You didn't get it (as usual), and deluded yourself into thinking you'd won the argument (which is why you bring at the same stupid diagram and expect to "win" again.

Congratulations, you've "won". Now show a different diagram.

      Please, just answer this 1 question. Okay? Here it is: Do you have any real, tangible proof that the Earth is flat? Just ANSWER it. And I don't want to hear: "Do u have any proof that the Earth is round?" No, I want to hear about the flat Earth. Some scientific proof not based on belief alone. And yes, it does look like the Earth is flat from my window, but I dont want to hear that either. Just give me some SMALL example of proof!!!!

       And also, you have no idea what the laws of gravity are because gravity pulls you to the center of the Earth, not the bottom, because there isn't one. The Earth is always rotating. Oh, and by the way, your belief on a "flat earth" seems to based primarily on the teachings, delusions, and misconceptions, of 1500's Europe. Get with the times!! And why would the government take the time to make everyone think the earth is round? Im sure they have more pressing matters. Well, thats all. PLEASE reply to my proof question. If you don't, hey thats just as good. Meaning you have no proof!!

You realise you’re replying to a 13 year old post, right?  I doubt they are still here.

A spambot posted in the thread, by the time I found it there were already several more posts.

Sometimes it’s interesting to see how things were here before the mighty FE empire crumbled though.
