MIDGARD'S GRAND AND MOST EXCELLENT EXPERIMENT INVOLVING "GRAVITY", ANGLES AND THE SHAPE OF THE EARTH.OBJECTIVE: To fairly and completely objectively prove once and for all that the earth is flat and not some stupid, magical "round" world.
THE EXPERIMENT:As you can see in the below "photo"
(1) of the round earth if the earth is in fact round and a magical force called "gravity" pulls everything towards the centre of the earth then the magical force can be tested.
All you have to do is level some giant protractors with each other and hang a bit of fishing line with a weight on the end to the centre of the protractors. If the earth is round then gravity should pull the fishing line towards the centre of the earth instead of the bottom of the protractor (as shown in diagram 1 where the red line represents the fishing line). As the earth is flat the fishing line will cross the bottom of the protractor (as shown in diagram 2).
Diagram 1:Diagram 2:NOTE: Diagrams are not to scale.With this in mind I went to MacGiant's and bought 2 protractors, both with radius of 2 metres. I also bought a laser, some cigarettes, a fishing line and weights and a friend (though he insisted on me calling him an assistant).
We set up one protractor at the Dun Laoghaire peer, we used the fishing line to determine where we should put the bottom of the protractor. Then we attached the laser and positioned it in a way that the laser was pointing at Howth Head. I then travelled to the tip of Howth Head (9km away, see Diagram 3), located the laser beam and set up the protractor so that it was aligned with the laser beam
(2) coming from the other protractor. After the protractor was aligned with the one on Dun Laoghaire peer I attached the fishing line and weight to the centre of the protractor. The line crossed over the bottom of the protractor
(3) instead of being angled more towards the Dun Laoghaire peer.
Diagram 3:RESULTS: Given the circumference of the earth, the size of the protractors and the distance between the protractors the fishing line on the Howth Head protractor should have crossed the circumference 2-3mm from the absolute bottom (towards the Dun Laoghaire peer). Given that the fishing line crossed the circumference at the absolute bottom
(3) it is evident that the magical force known as "gravity" doesn't exist and that the earth is flat.
(1)It should also be clear from the photo provided of a round earth that all photos of a round earth are in fact faked.(2)Using smoke from the cigarettes to see precisely where the laser beam was going.(3)This is taking into account adjustments made because of a slight, imperceptable(4) breeze that was heading towards the Dun Laoghaire peer.(4)The breeze was completely impossible to feel but it was obviously there as the fishing line was angling towards Dun Laoghaire peer.EDIT: Changed asterixes to numbers.
