What flat earth experiment?

John Davis : November 15, 2019, 11:14:22 AM
The concept is re-appropriation of the day for the true earth. It is suggested that each flatist on this day performs an experiment in public to expose the globularist orthodoxy as dupes.

Please explain at least one.

I guess I have no flatists living around me as I have never heard of any experiments out in the open. There�d be a nice park and all.

This does bring up an interesting idea though.  There is an easy and relatively inexpensive experiment a flat earther can do.  A weather balloon.

There are kits online.  YouTube is full of videos of people and students getting these kits and sending them up.  There are online tutorials to explain everything anyone needs.

This way the person(s) doing the flight get to control everything...especially the camera(s) used.  It could potentially get a much more definitive answer than taking pictures of disappearing skylines or oil rigs.

Heck, if there is a flat earther living in the New England area (USA) I'd be willing to partner with them on such a project.  We could do all the setup and testing side by side and not send anything up until everyone agrees it's ready...just a thought.

Always wanted to visit New England (�Lovecraft country�, the short stories� setting, to be exact). But I am no FE.

Ever heard of the candle experiment? 

Ever heard of the candle experiment?

He complains that no one did his "candle experiment" yet he never attempted it himself! Go figure!

And the The Shipping Crate Experiment � Message by John Davis on January 23, 2017, 09:47:43 AM �

Look at the 55 second mark



edit: the 55s mark image i saw is too difficult to stop at

This was not called a flat earth experiment.

Look at the 55 second mark

And look at the 40 to 44rd second part .

Watch this weather balloon launch into the stratosphere at 4:44

They are both due to barrel-distortion in the lens used (probably on a GoPro camera).

On second thought, that probably was a flat earth experiment, because it came up when i searched flat earth weather baloon looking for the vid that the flat earth community was showing a year or two ago... we all know the one, but this first



and 2.5 pages later, it looks like they don't want people talking about this



edit :This was one of or the first "flat earth" title in the search returns

epic!

I wonder if Go Pro, with its fish eye lenses, have done more harm or good to the Flat earth movement?

On the one hand we have tough cameras that can go everywhere
On the other hand they distort all images

On the topic of what experiment flat earth people can do to show the shape of the world.
The experiment has to be very simple, because very few people have access to any fancy equipment. And even a little bit of effort is usually rejected as too complicated. This who field seems to be mostly "armchair scientists"

But I think the simplest experiment is to just find a beach on a clear calm day and look at ships.
Where I live I can see parts of the city dispensary under the horizon from certain spots. No experiment is easier.
Do all Flat Earth people live inland?

Flat Earth Addict is a deceptive cherry-picker who found 5 minutes of a longer video by Christopher Farms that suited his agenda and posted only that!

You might read this: The Little Piggy Balloon Footage Proves Earth is a Sphere, not Flat

And look and this at 0:10 and other places:

Little Piggy High Altitude Balloon Flight - Raw Video Pt 13 by Christopher Farms
Christopher Farms was using a so-called "fish-eye lens" and when the horizon is above centre is looks excessively curved, when it crosses the centre it's close to realistic and when below the centre it curves the wrong way.

Christopher Farms has many similar videos, possibly segments of the same flight on his YouTtube channel at:
The Flight of Little Piggy - A High Alititude Balloon by Christopher Farms.

epic!

Sorry, i got carried away, this was the video i wanted to post and say no more. I understood it to be bonafide flat earth footage, but i apologize as i don't even know for sure if this is the vid and don't have time right now to search throught all the garbage returns that have nothing to do with the search parameters.

Why do they call you wolf, is it safe to talk to you?

Why do they call you wolf, is it safe to talk to you?

Had craze insomnia at university, so was always awake late at night.

Im fairly sure I wont be able to bite you, your probably very far.
If I was a fox, my words would be more troublesome though.

Would faded be a followerer of alex jones?

PM me

OK

Sow far no flat earther response hummm.

You can review our library to find literally thousands of experiments which show the earth is not a globe.

Do you mean like these:

One Hundred Proofs that the Earth is Not a Globe
1. The aeronaut can see for himself that Earth is a Plane. The appearance presented to him, even at the highest elevation he has ever attained, is that of a concave surface�this being exactly what is to be expected of a surface that is truly level, since it is the nature of level surfaces to appear to rise to a level with the eye of the observer. This is ocular demonstration and proof that Earth is not a globe.

2. Whenever experiments have been tried on the surface of standing water, this surface has always been found to be level. If the Earth were a globe, the surface of all standing water would be convex. This is an experimental proof that Earth is not a globe,

3. Surveyors� operations in the construction of railroads, tunnels, or canals are conducted without the slightest �allowance� being made for �curvature,� although it is taught that this so-called allowance is absolutely necessary! This is a cutting proof that Earth is not a globe.

4. There are rivers that flow for hundreds of miles towards the level of the sea without falling more than a few feet�notably, the Nile, which, in a thousand miles, falls but a foot. A level expanse of this extent is quite incompatible with the idea of the Earth�s �convexity.� It is, therefore, a reasonable proof that Earth is not a globe.

5. The lights which are exhibited in lighthouses are seen by navigators at distances at which, according to the scale of the supposed �curvature� given by astronomers, they ought to be many hundreds of feet, in some cases, down below the line of sight! For instance: the light at Cape Hatteras is seen at such a distance (40 miles) that, according to theory, it ought to be nine-hundred feet higher above the level of the sea than it absolutely is, in order to be visible! This is a conclusive proof that there is no �curvature,� on the surface of the sea��the level of the sea,��ridiculous though it is to be under the necessity of proving it at all: but it is, nevertheless, a conclusive proof that the Earth is not a globe.

Those at least are just unsubstantiated statements so can you point to something more substantial.

The Earth Not a Globe Review comes to mind as an early example.

The Earth Not a Globe Review contains a "Correspondence" section in each issue. I wouldn't consider a 'Letter to the Editors' section such that this is as peer review. Maybe your definition of peer review is different than mine. Mine is more like an objective thorough evaluation of a published work that is separate and distinct. Not the sort of fan letters found within the the ENAG Review itself.

Is there anything else you would consider 'peer reviewed' under its more modern definition?

Edit: As an aside I found this interesting. In Issue No.3 (1893), Rowbotham is referred to as Dr. Birley)

"We cannot repeat the evidence here; but those who want it may find the evidence given in an excellent book by � Parallax � (Dr, Birley) which has never yet been answered."

I assume because at that time he was more famous as the extended life Elixir purveyor than Flat Earth lecturer?

Yes, his credentials are well known.

I can consider something to be peer reviewed if it was reviewed by the authors peers before publication and afterwards. The methodology of this review can consist of a great many methodological tools and practices such as collaboration, internal consistency, replication and so on.

I think you are upset because it was not reviewed by your, or rather your beliefs peers. This is a simple misunderstanding. Your peers are not ours.

Aside from that modern peer review is a joke.

Perhaps we shall submit some of our tensor flow flat earth forum post generator for your golden modern "peer review."

I kid of course.
