Here's a page which covers the differences between diffraction and refraction (it also covers reflection, with a handy little picture of what happens when waves reflect off a curved surface such as a parabolic dish, but that relates to another topic): http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/waves/Lesson-3/Reflection,-Refraction,-and-Diffraction

"Refraction of waves involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another."

and

"...diffraction involves a change in direction of waves as they pass through an opening or around a barrier in their path."

Hopefully we can all now use these terms correctly.

Thank you, Scintific Method, for helping me prove that light does, in fact, bend.

You're welcome. Just keep in mind that refraction is not the same as 'bendy light', which is an essential part of any FE hypothesis, but which also has serious flaws.

We all agree it does. The discussion is in what condition and how much.

I asked him to present his mathematical and physical model for his "bendy light". We'll see just how much of an uneducated fool he really is.

I can fling RE measurements all over the place just like you can.  However, they are not really proof and are really easy to find on the internet.  Maybe you can come up with something original?

Originality has no effect on truth.

If 10 trillion people claim 1+1=2, and you test it yourself and it turns out that yes, 1+1 does in fact equal 2, it doesn't matter if it is "original" or not.

Facts are facts.

Please post some FE measurements between some capital cities, or a link to them.

What if 2+2=5?

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_fallacy#All_numbers_equal_all_other_numbers
All numbers equal all other numbers

The following example uses division by zero to "prove" that 2 = 1, but can be modified to prove that any number equals any other number.

1. Let a and b be equal non-zero quantities
    a = b

2. Multiply through by a
    a^2 = ab

3. Subtract b^2
    a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2

4. Factor both sides
    (a - b)(a + b) = b(a - b)

5. Divide out (a - b)
    a + b = b

6. Observing that a = b
    b + b = b

7. Combine like terms on the left
    2b = b

8. Divide by the non-zero b
    2 = 1

Q.E.D.[5]

The fallacy is in line 5: the progression from line 4 to line 5 involves division by a − b, which is zero since a equals b. Since division by zero is undefined, the argument is invalid.

What jroa does not understand is that if I send him 1 dollar and he sends me 10,000 dollars, it is one and the same. This is too much for a FEer to understand.

Do you really want me to quote every single rhetorical question you posted instead of answering a question at hand, since I made my account? I'm pretty sure there are over 100 since then...

You're not answering questions because you know you have no real answers. Apart from some fantasies which you cannot prove, you're empty, you feel threatened when somebody asks you a question for which you have no answer, or when somebody asks you to present a mathematical model for your bullshit, not necessarily a model made by you, but by anybody else. Under this pressure (backed against a wall), instead of admitting that you're wrong, you pose rhetorical, and at some times flat out stupid questions, in hopes of derailing the conversation.

Basic psychology.

Not only by me, you feel threatened by everybody that asks you to present your evidence, hence your rhetorical question defense mechanism.

Are you claiming that light can travel infinitely through the air?

-jroa, when told that ~50km of air is not enough for it to totally block off sunlight.

Quote from: jroa on April 14, 2014, 02:41:50 PM
People say that bendy light does not exist all the time.  They claim that light only travels in straight lines.  Are you now accepting that bendy light exists?

-jroa, when explained (with 3 or 4 physics articles explaining refraction, reflection and diffraction in the whole thread) that what would be needed for light to bend the way he needs it to be (in order to prove his "perspective") is impossible.

Quote from: jroa on April 11, 2014, 05:57:10 PM
How far off were the stars on these black and white photos?  Were they barely measurable?

-jroa, when being proven that theoretical physics is not, as he said, "a nice way to say, "I can make stuff up and you can't prove me wrong."  "

Quote from: jroa on April 16, 2014, 01:15:49 AM
Mathematical evidence of what?  Pythagorean theorem?  You are a very confusing person. 

-jroa, when asked to present a mathematical model that supports a flat earth, knowing that there isn't any, he played the fool.

There are many people who hold 'Theoretical Physics' in contempt. Millions/billions spent on elaborate wasteful projects that in the end, discover... nothing, or what someone else claims they could have told them for very little.

Listen to what these gentlemen think of 'theoretical science'. I know they are religious, but if you listen to Rupert Sheldrake, he'll tell you that 'science' IS based on 'religion', if you go back and check the current theme's origins.
