Meteorite shower visible tonight if you live out far enough in the sticks ...watch all them Masonic rocks bouncing off the dome. Something tells me you wont be watching @alexa

 

It's a bit overcast here tonight so I probably wont see anything but thanks for letting me know.🙃

@ evryone who is scared of facts and physics:

 

--Laser tests over several miles

--A 1000 mile horizon taken from a passenger jet

--Brian Shul, USAF (retired) seeing Canada from above Tucson, NM at 85,000 feet

--Water curving around a ball or any shape has never been proven in any replicable or observable way

--Laser experiments show the exact opposite

--Multiple emergency landings - pilots, nor ship's captains have ever... they have never used a globe to navigate from - they would be lost which is why they have always used something close to the freemason's UN flag (great circle routes are pure reified idiocy brought to you from disney)

Pure gibberish. I am not trying to convince you or any fellow flat earth claimants. No amount of evidence or logic will suffice - because you respond with nonsense like that.

Flat Earth nonsensical interpretation. He is in a plane doing 2,200mph. If he is over Tuscon at any point, 1 minute later he is 36 miles away. Whatever reference he gives as his viewing point and it would be pure guesswork given the height and speed he is doing, in 5 minutes he is 180 miles away from it.

Yes it has, it curves around the globe. There is no mechanism whereby a volume large enough to be videoed or photographed can show this, the curve is too small to either. You already mentioned lasers.

I already put one of these up as my first post, needless to say you ignored it. Your comment is just ignorant rhetoric.

No, your list is  fairly useless. What you actually NEED to do is start acting honestly and addressing things presented to you. Preferably without a 2 hr nonsensical youtube video.

But NASA lies you claimed? How about the millions of ones that don't take the static Earth as its baseline?

 

There's a very good reason they don't do that and its because the small differences it makes are truly miniscule.

All models are wrong. Some are useful.

These days there's a popular trend when simulating things to simulate every possible mechanism we can imagine. Those who think that way would agree with you. Why would you ever make a flat Earth model when everything is eventually going to make its first flight on a real rotating spherical-ish Earth?

This approach works great until you come across real development or computational limits. The cited paper is from 1988. Computers were much weaker back then. For perspective, the Cray Y-MP was sold that year. Its peak performance was 333 megaflops. She cost $15 million dollars. Contrast that to today. A Geforce GTX 1070 is capable of 6,500,000 megaflops (6.5 teraflops) and has a price tag of around $400.

In those days, you didn't waste computational power on frivolities. It turns out that for a vast array of aeronautical problems, the effects of a flat earth vs. round are minimal (much less the effects of rotating vs. not). If you're shooting a shell 15km, and need it to land with pinpoint precision, you need all that extra complexity. However, many aero problems include a guidance unit which would address any error due to Coriolis effects or the spherical ground the same way it would handle any other errors. It'd simply see it wasn't on the right path and make a correction. The other sources of error here, such as winds, play a far larger effect in deviations from a flight plan, so all the rotating and spherical effects can just get lost in the noise.

Even today, we still make flat Earth models. The reason is not computation time, like it was in 1988, but development time. The more things you model, the more things you need to develop, verify, and maintain. If a particular problem does not call for advanced models, why waste budget developing and maintaining them?

A real life example of this shows up in geoids. Quite often we can do all the modeling we need with a spherical Earth. However, sometimes we find that we need to model the Earth with its proper oblate shape, so we them switch to the WGS84 geoid, or any one of its brethren. The price: all sorts of fun complexities. When I say I have a "forward/right/down" body rotation matrix, is the "down" vector towards the center of the earth, or is it perpendicular to the geoid? On a sphere, they're the same. On an oblate spheroid, I have to take the time to figure out which one was intended. If I don't take the time, then I might as well have just used a sphere."

Yes, think about how this crazy fringe movement operates. They systematically ignore every contradictory item and copious amounts of evidence, frequently offering the most ridiculous of explanations. There are videos on youtube about "flatards" that these people will never watch. I urge any person who is in confusion over this to seek and watch them.

 

Again, the setting sun, no size change constant motion everywhere on the planet 15 degrees per hour every day of the year - that alone proves the globe.

Yes they will do exactly as stated as any cult does.

 

Sunset alone proves the earth is not flat..

To really hammer this home, the sizes of the Sun projected onto his false horizon show the vanishing point on a flat Earth - looks to be on the small side. QED.

The angular velocity of the Sun anywhere on Earth is measurably the same - 15 degrees of arc per hour. This is impossible on a flat Earth with the variable distances claimed from observer to the Sun.

 

 

The sun is above any observers eyeline - it is  a physical impossibility for it to drop below it. See the picture above for the youtube video Lake Pontchartrain - flat earth sees the base of the poles on a level plane - not curving as we can plainly see.

hi flat you dragged all this rubbish out at the beginning of the thread  and now there is someone new to argue with ( try and convince) out it comes again , I knew you would run out of crap eventually , how is my 10 questions going and your flat earth working model

I re watched the dogcam video.I slowed it right down .At 7.41 there is an image I cannot understand. On the slowest setting at 7.41 what do others see ? You have 3 images that fall within that 1 sec. 

It looks like the balloon blows and that's why we see the apparent free fall.

And with a dishonest wave of the hand the tactic of every flat earther. Denial. 

 

 

But of course none of the "experiments" placed on youtube by his peers are phoney. And yet again you ignore my other posts.

 

Very cowardly - are you really that afraid to lose face?
