I'm writing this post in response to research I've been doing. I am hoping others can offer clarification and/or validation here; My research is on physicist/engineer Auguste Piccard.
Having studied physics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Piccard went on to become a professor at the Free University of Brussels in 1922, and member of the Solvay Congress. His professional life in the field of physics and engineering gave credibility to the man as an inventor and explorer. Backed by the Belgian research organization, Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique; Dr Auguste Piccard started researching the stratosphere. His intent, to provide experimental evidence for the theories proposed, by another graduate of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology; and co-member of the Solvay Congress, theoretical physicist Albert Einstein.
In my understandings, Piccard believed in the heliocentric model; his work, with the Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique, was to validate theories purposed about cosmic rays from outer space and their effects on our planet. With him inventing the technology used in underwater travel to account for the pressure difference, he modified his work to create a vehicle that could account for atmospheric pressure. The idea to get into the stratosphere via balloon and run experimentation's that in theory, should provide hard evidence to the existence of cosmic rays. The man ascended a record breaking 10 miles(16km) high. Later breaking this record many times over in a total of 27 stratosphere-balloon flights and a final record of 23 miles(37km) in height.
This was before exploring the sky was strictly militarized. Many of the people seen in the footage of Piccards take offs, are volunteers; local firefighters, towns people, and visitors who came to watch the balloons ascension. This was not controlled to a need-to-know basis. We can take the mans observations as fact as the integrity of the man is not compromised. He is not affiliated with any government and so we know his work was not reviewed for national security purposes prior to publication. The man was a researcher, holding back any observation would not have been in his interest, even if they where counter-intuitive with his preconceptions. As holding back any observation, even one that is not understood, would only have become a hindrance in his work, and to further studies of his work.
An article from the magazine Popular Science, Aug 1931 (published by Bonnier Corporation) explored the first record set of 10 miles(16km) high. Keep in mind, today's average airlines never see this height. The article reports (paraphrased), through use of oxygen tanks they, both Auguste Piccard and Charles Kipfer, were able to execute their tests. For they reported, air pressure at such heights to be so low, one tenth than at sea-level. They did find that the cosmic rays they set out to prove, does in-fact appear more intense in the stratosphere compared to being on ground. This article then goes on to report, that at such a height the air appeared blue, and that they were able to capture this 'blue-air' in cylinders to than experiment with. The article describes this gas as intensely blue and o-zone(O₃) rich, and references it as the "radio-roof" as if radio signals bounce off of this layer. This is a later excerpt from the article.
"Through portholes, the observer saw the Earth through copper-colored, then bluish, haze. It seemed a flat disk with an upturned edge. And at the ten mile level the sky appeared a deep, dark blue."
Above are the facts I have found in my research. Below is my personal opinions based on those facts, and is not intended be taken as anything more than that.
Piccards research is important because I feel it may bring light to other matters. On a Globe when you see the stars circle clockwise in the northern hemisphere; and counter-clockwise in the southern hemisphere, you would conclude the Earth is spinning eastward. On a flat Earth, however, when you see the very same opposite-motions of the stars you come to the conclusion that the stars act as one big Tesla coil (energy taking the path of a geometric torus; to sustain and generate free energy). I am a flat Earther and I do believe that the stars are one big energy generator. I am also a Bible-Literalist (I believe the Bible to be literally true).
I believe on day one God said let their be light; references both this free energy system being established, and the gases that make up our air being created. The atmosphere is made of Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide, and Argon. Now the reason I believe that Argon and free energy is the light created on day one, is because Argon is a Nobel gas and so it conducts electricity. When electricity is put through Argon gas it creates a blue photon that is unmistakably sky-blue (this is how Neon lights work). Since we already know Argon can create blue light when given energy, and since we know the sky has both Argon and energy, we know why the sky is giving off blue light...yes the sky is giving off light. I believe when Dr Auguste Piccard captured blue air, he found hard evidence that the sky produces light without the sun, Just like the 7 days of genesis would tell you.
The second day, let their be a firmament separating the waters above from the waters below. I believe the waters above is the deep-dark blue that Piccard noted the sky to be at 10miles high. Hennesy Liquor did an add campaign celebrating Dr Auguste Piccards accomplishments. This add depicted the ascension Piccard took, interestingly enough, the makers of the add decided to show the ascension ending in Piccard breaking through the firmament into waters above, just like the 7 days of genesis would tell you.
On the third day, the creation of plant life. It is important to note that the Sun has not yet been created and thus this photosynthesis process does not fit with the Biblical worldview. This goes back to my theory that the free energy created by the Tesla coil and the Argon in our air, creates daylight, and not the Sun. Just like the 7 days of genesis would tell you.
And on the forth day God created the sun and moon. The Bible does not reference stars in the 7 days unless you agree with my theory that the first days light, used the stars of the Tesla coil as a catalyst to create the light.
Finally, here is my question. Does what I am saying seem reasonable? Can we use the experiments that Auguste Piccard did, to confirm the 7 days of Genesis are a scientific and accurate explanation of the creation of Earth? And, is it at all possible that the cosmo rays theorized by Einstein, that Piccard confirmed, is evidence of the Tesla coil free-energy that our stars create?
