Encyclopedia Americana dome at 13,000 ft
« on: July 20, 2017, 03:37:00 AM »
Can somebody please tell me why the Encyclopedia Americana in the 1958 edition stated that there is a dome at 13,000 ft at latitude 80 S and longitude 50 W if it was not true. This encyclopedia was started in 1829, so it had a reputation of accurate information for over 130 years.

LOL it's referring to the geological dome. Not your conspiracy fantasy. You know, like half dome in Yosemite? I even searched up the coordinates in google maps, it isn't exact but it gave me an elevation somewhere in the high 12k ft.

You aren't very good at reading are you?
It says 90 E, not 50 W.

It is the mountain range at 50 W.

But the real issue is you apparently have no idea what it means by a dome.
It isn't talking about some dome covering Earth (that height wouldn't be enough).
It is talking about a geological feature akin to a mountain.
What do you have an issue with?

Also, great video:
If anyone can explain this I would appreciate it - Comments disabled.
Seems like someone doesn't really want an explanation and instead just wants to pedal ignorant crap/

Your right, the 50 W was the bottom line, my mistake.

You have to do better than that, because this geological feature was removed in the version of the encyclopedia in the 70’s.

Just in for the lolz -as I've told JackBlack I'm still undecided on this but please tell us how many times you have been to the Kunlun Station, one of four Chinese research stations in Antarctica located at 80.4174° S, 77.1166° E granted that's  "E" not "W". Also it is the highest among all research stations? Just wondering? If you don't answer, you will have answered any of my other Questions.

What is your point, the encyclopedia stated that the dome is 13,000 ft high, not that it was at an elevation of 13,000 ft.

Bid difference.

Now, are you telling me that on the station they have a stricter that is over 13,000ft high, because if that is the case, then it would be the tallest building in the world!!!

I've never been there. However, I do know 2 friends of mine who have been there, one of them has a degree in physics. He had gone down to the McMurdo station and was stationed at the pole for some time. I think he was managing some comic ray detector. If you have a youtube account, I could try to get you in contact with him.

A dome is a dome is a dome.
That is right.
Here is some light reading for you:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dome_(geology)

A dome is a dome. When it is discussing mountains it is quite rational to assume it is also discussing the geological feature called a dome, rather than a magic dome above Earth which is apparently just in one location.

What is your point, the encyclopedia stated that the dome is 13,000 ft high, not that it was at an elevation of 13,000 ft.
Bid difference.
Yes, just like Mount Everest is 29 000 feet high.

Now, are you telling me that on the station they have a stricter that is over 13,000ft high, because if that is the case, then it would be the tallest building in the world!!!
It isn't a building. It is a geological feature.

Your right, the 50 W was the bottom line, my mistake.

It's probably 'Dome A' (80°22′S 77°21′E), a high point on the ice sheet.

Dome A or Dome Argus is the loftiest ice dome on the Antarctic Plateau, located 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) inland. It is thought to be the coldest naturally occurring place on Earth; scientists believe that temperatures can sometimes even drop below −102 °C (−152 °F) in the winter.[citation needed] It is the highest ice feature in Antarctica, consisting of an ice dome or eminence of 4,093 metres' (13,428 ft) elevation above sea level. It is located near the center of East Antarctica, approximately midway between the enormous head of Lambert Glacier and the geographic South Pole, within the Australian claim.

Are you sure? Have you read the '70s entry to see if that claim is, in fact, true? Maybe the description was rewritten as more information about Antarctic geography became known in the intervening decade or two. Maybe it is truly gone because they needed to make space for more important information. Who knows? You surely don't.

Quote

From the video: "there seems to be only one definition for the word 'dome'."

You and the narrator need a better dictionary.

Quote
dome
dōm
noun
1. a rounded vault forming the roof of a building or structure, typically with a circular base.
"the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral"
synonyms:   cupola, vault, arched roof, rotunda
"the distinctive dome of the cathedral"
2. a thing shaped like a dome, in particular.
verb
1. (of stratified rock or a surface) become rounded in formation; swell.

The high points on the antarctic ice sheet are called 'domes'. I suppose that could confuse someone looking for a conspiracy behind every rock.

Definition of dome
1archaic :  a stately building :  mansion
2:  a large hemispherical roof or ceiling
3:  a natural formation or structure that resembles the dome or cupola of a building
4:  a form of crystal composed of planes parallel to a lateral axis that meet above in a horizontal edge like a roof
5:  an upward fold in rock whose sides dip uniformly in all directions
6:  a roofed sports stadium
7:  a person's head

But in the photo from Google Maps, at those location there are not mountain ranges, so you have to remove any inference to that.

So you don't need a better one, you just need to read it.

Notice 3, possibly 4 and 5, which can apply to geological formations akin to mountains?

So why act like it must be some magic dome over Earth?

But in the photo from Google Maps, at those location there are not mountain ranges, so you have to remove any inference to that.

WOW, you can't see an ice covered dome in a picture of an entire continent.

Did you think you were making a point?

You can't see Uluru from a picture of Australia (i.e. the entire continent) does that mean it can't be real?

Do you have a more zoomed in version, preferably showing the topography?

"In December 1955 the task force left New Zealand to set up two base stations in Ross Sea area, Little
America V was established at Kainan Bay, about 30 miles east along the Ross Ice Shelf from the Bay of
Whales, and an air operation base was constructed at Hut Point on Ross Island in McMurdo Sound. Four
United States planes flew from New Zealand to McMurdo Sound on December 30, 1955, and made
exploratory flights over unknown parts of the continent (Antarctica) until January 18, 1956, when they returned
to New Zealand. These flights proved the inland areas to be featureless in character, with a dome 13,000
feet high at about latitude 80 degrees South, longitude 90 degrees East. New mountain ranges
were located at about latitude 85 degrees South, longitude 50 degrees West, re-affirming the observation
made by Ronne in 1947 that the Antarctic continent is a single unit." The Encyclopedia Americana Vol 2,
published 1958.

It only gives a rough altitude of 13,000 ft. I don't know what measurements were made, but any pilot could estimate that from his altimeter readings.

Later reports give more exact data, as in
Quote from: Australian Antarctic Division
Dome A
Location: 80°22' S 77°22'E.
With a surface elevation of 4093 m, Dome Argus (Dome A) is the highest place in Antarctica, though one of the least-known places on the globe. It lies near one end of an elongate ridge (about 60 km long and 10 km wide). The ice thickness there is more than 3000 m, overlaying the subglacial Gamburtsev Mountains. Palaeo-scientists consider it suitable for collecting an ice core that will provide a record of past climate and atmospheric gas composition going back more than one million years.

From Australian Antarctic Division, Dome A

This "Dome" is not a dome zbove the earth and I have seen no evidence anywhere, other than from flat earther claiming that it is anything else other than a feature of the land.

If the location referred to is Dome A at 80.366667°S  77.366667°E Google Earth says its altitude is 4087 m, or 13409 ft.

Maybe you have a better reference to its location. If so let's have it.

https://www.britannica.com/place/Antarctica

I don't see it mention a wall or the Earth being flat either. That link is not a 1970s encyclopaedia. It's obviously Dome A, which is mentioned on page 2 of that link and the grid reference it gives is just 130 miles or so away from the location the much older encyclopaedia gives.

Try researching the flights & expeditions that produced the figures

It is obvious not Dome A, since it is located 263 km away from the point mentioned in the encyclopedia.

Your second source does not give a location of the ice dome that it talks about, which could be a total different place.

You have to do better than simply say it was removed.

You're the one who said it was removed. Have you checked to see if that's even right yet? Do they make any reference to Dome Argus (or Dome A) in the later edition? Have you looked?

That's pretty fanciful. Any evidence for this? No? I didn't think so.

This answer is not unexpected from someone looking for a conspiracy behind every rock, however.

1archaic :  a stately building :  mansion
2:  a large hemispherical roof or ceiling
3:  a natural formation or structure that resembles the dome or cupola of a building
4:  a form of crystal composed of planes parallel to a lateral axis that meet above in a horizontal edge like a roof
5:  an upward fold in rock whose sides dip uniformly in all directions
6:  a roofed sports stadium
7:  a person's head

So you now agree that not all 'domes' are the same thing? Good!

But in the photo from Google Maps, at those location there are not mountain ranges, so you have to remove any inference to that.

None of your definitions mention "mountain range". It's not a mountain range, it's a high point on a plateau; this says nothing about how steep the sides are.

The high points on the antarctic ice sheet are called 'domes'. I suppose that could confuse someone looking for a conspiracy behind every rock.

Not at that location

https://ibb.co/gDxpLQ

How can you tell from that image?

This map is better: [sorry about the large size]



Image from p. 20 in this pdf. That same overview map is also available as a one-page pdf with more detail and information here.

Note that Dome Argus is the high point close to 80°S, 90°E. The original reference in the video said it was approximately that location (or about, or near that location - I don't remember exactly and don't intend to watch it again). No one ever said it was at exactly that location, so what's the problem?

Notice 3, possibly 4 and 5, which can apply to geological formations akin to mountains?
How about you looking in the photo to show me the mountain top…
Again, how about you show me a picture of Australia, showing all of it and point out where Uluru is.
I can't see it at that scale.

That doesn't mean it isn't there.
It would be even harder when everything is covered in snow and ice.

WOW, you can't see an ice covered dome in a picture of an entire continent.
Yes but it is at the ground level, where the word dome would not be used. Do you say that you play basketball on the blacktop or on a dome…
No, dome is used, even at ground level. After all, these geographic features are at ground level.

Where do you expect these domes to be? Magically up in the sky?

The distance between the two point in your articles is over 244 km. which is equivalent distance between the cities of Washington DC and Morgantown, West Virginia. Do you now what is in between those two cities, the Appalachian mountains ...
Do you have anything rational to add, or just going to complain that the locations weren't perfectly accurate?

It stated 13,000 ft high not in an altitude of 13,000 ft

Big difference and why did they remove it in the 70's ...
No, not a difference.
Lots of objects are referred to like that, where is height is the elevation of the peak.

Again, you are yet to show it was removed in the 70's.
You keep on making baseless claims.

Quote
Yet to see a reference showing that this is the case.

Could not find any mention of a dome at the latitude of 80 S and Longitude 90 East, can you

https://www.britannica.com/place/Antarctica
So you go from Encyclopedia Americana to Encyclopedia Britannica?
You are aware they are different encyclopedias?

Do you have evidence that it was removed from the Encyclopedia Americana?

Regardless lets see what that link has?
Well, no mention of a dome in the introduction. Perhaps that is because it is more organised and has sections, oh look a section on physical geography, I wonder what will be in there?
Oh hey:
Quote
The vast ice sheets of East Antarctica reach heights of 11,500 feet or more in four main centres: Dome A (Argus) at 81° S, 77° E; Dome C at 75° S, 125° E; Dome Fuji at 77° S, 40° E; and Vostok station at 77° S, 104° E.

So rather than a mention of a single dome, it now has 4.
Yes, the original one was off, but that is understandable. It is quite easy to get locations wrong so close to the south pole when the difference between the geographic and magnetic south pole is significant.

It is obvious not Dome A, since it is located 263 km away from the point mentioned in the encyclopedia.
No it isn't.
Understand that locations are not always perfect, especially if you are trying to figure out the location of something merely by flying over it or near it and just using simple tools.
It is quite likely to be dome A.

Updating its location to a more accurate one would not be removing it.

Regardless, you still haven't shown that it has been removed.

How many kilometer apart are the two places, oh yes ,244 km. which is equivalent distance between the cities of Washington DC and Morgantown, West Virginia. Do you now what is in between those two cities, the Appalachian mountains ...

To simply dismiss the concept of God as being unscientific is to violate the very objectivity of science itself.

This whole thread is a classic example of flat-tard desperation and straw clutching.
The OP finds one line in an old book that uses the word Dome.......and suddenly for him he is vindicated and the world is indeed flat.........while outside in the real world;
Aircraft fly around the globe
Ships sail around the globe
The thousand of satellites in orbit beam back data
The ISS provides a live feed showing the earth....
Thousands of telescopes and Astronomers study the heavens
Physicists study the nature of the universe

But the flat-tard has found a man with a finger pointing at the word Dome in a big old book!
WTF!

How many domes do you want? Antarctica has plenty:
Quote
Antarctic Ice-Core Stations
Maps of Antarctica showing locations and elevations in meters above sea level (masl) of: Law Dome (66°44'S, 112°50'E, 1390 masl), Dome C (75°06'S, 123°24'E, 3233 masl), Taylor Dome (77°48'S, 158°43'E, 2365 masl), Vostok (78°28'S, 106°52'E, 3500 masl), Dome A (80°22'S, 77°22'E, 4084 masl), the South Pole station (90°S, 2810 masl), and Siple Station (75°55'S, 83°55'W, 1054 masl).

Who gives a shit?
That doesn't help your case at all.
You are completely ignoring the argument presented.

Now then, are you planing on providing any kind of rational argument?
