Something For the Flat Earth crowd to try
« on: March 25, 2010, 05:12:57 PM »
I saw this on the news tonight. Maybe we can get Tom Bishop to do an experiment or two for once.

WEST YORKSHIRE, GREAT BRITAIN -- Putting NASA and its billion dollar budgets to shame, a British space enthusiast took amazing photos and video from space with just a few hundred dollars, a home camera and a balloon.

Robert Harrison spent a mere $747 dollars to take his photos and video from 22 miles above Earth's surface.

The results are stunning.

Apparently Tom doesn't need to try this. He already knows what it is.

At the edge of the atmosphere the observer is looking down at the distant edges of the sun's circular area of light upon the earth.

Any such images look as if the observer is looking down at a large mug of cuppachino than a globe earth.

The only problem is the angle of the curve, it's like those sidewalk paintings: http://www.coolopticalillusions.com/chalk-art/globe-sidewalk-chalk-paintings.htm

To get a nice curve like that from a flat surface at such an angle, would actually require a fucked up curve.


Either that, or the Earth is a sphere.

Uh, no. The story was re-written for KTLA in Los Angeles, and it is common to do the currency conversion as part of the article. However, its nice to see that that was your most substantive rebuttal.

Congratulations, you are the first person to ever post a story of this nature. We've never seen anything like it before, and based on such projects, definite conclusions can be reached regarding the shape of the Earth.

Here's a challenge then.  Find the weather for the appropriate day. Work out the likelyhood of a balloon ascending to 22 miles, a parachute falling from 22 miles. the total distance travelled only being 50 miles.

After some research, it seems it was very likely.



Are you labeling random members of the public part of the conspiracy now aswel?

50 miles laterally or vertically? Because 22+22 != 50.

It also depends on the rate of ascent, and at what altitude the parachute deploys at. So no, drift does not rule it out.

I stand corrected then. What was the weather on that day?
