Flat Earth Theory / Easy proof of a round earth

« on: June 15, 2017, 09:09:10 PM »

I work in an industry that aims Dishes at geostationary satellites. I know FEers don't believe in satellites, they say they are balloons or really tall towers at the equator. Regardless of what they are, they can not deny they are up there. I'll arbitrarily pick one satellite, commonly called "119" or "EchoStar IV". I live  about 5200 miles from the equator, and the satellite is at a 36 degree elevation. Los angeles is  about 3800 miles from the equator, and Satellite 119 is at a 50 degree angle there. Using math or a triangle calculator website and you find that with a "flat earth" model, the calculated height of the satellite is different in each location. The only way the number add up is with a round earth. Also, the fact the elevation angle is ZERO or less if you go far enough north, again, obviously proves a (more or less) round earth.

FWIW, with a "flat earth" the calculated elevation of Satellite 119 would be  about 3778 miles in my state and 4528 miles high in Los Angeles... Some pretty tall towers they build down at the equator.... LOL.

You can confirm these readings yourself, as million of retired RVers do all the time as they set up their dish.

Junker...

OK, this is done. You can't make a coherent point or keep a train of thought to save your life. You are basically using the "Chewbacca defense"*, saying so many incoherent things, it is very difficult (at least more difficult than you are worth) to know where to start to pick it apart.


I am going back to my 2nd post. You are either joking or have severe mental issues. Not sure which one you are, but either way, not worth spending any more time with.

Junker....

OK... It is a bit hard to get a grasp on what you are saying. You come across like someone defending FE, in multiple posts, then you say you never said that....

It is obvious that you would balk at doing the one thing that would prove to you the earth is round. No I am not going to do it for you...

I think you mean that you (allegedly) aim a dish at the sky. Unless you have evidence otherwise...

That really doesn't even make sense... Are you saying I am lying, and that I don't do that? You are aware of satellite TV providers, that install a dish on your house? Are they all out there installing fake dishes and the people actually get their TV through magic???

If not a satellite, please tell me what I am aiming at....

Probably could be several things. However, asking me to provide your evidence is a bit silly.

I hadn't read that one till now.... That makes even less sense, you're really not all there are you???

I know I aim at a satellite, and I can prove, with geometry how high in the sky it is (let me guess, math is a scam/conspiracy...).

You can't stand next to someone with a red car, and say I don't believe it is red, and tell him he is the one that needs to come up with proof that it is red. You are the one claiming the red car isn't red, and you need to provide proof it isn't.

And you avoided the question of if not a satellite, what am I aiming at? and how would it "float" up there.

You know you guys could put a quick end to your entire belief system, if you just raise a few bucks and take a flight on one of the "edge of the atmosphere" flights available these days...

Also, would you care to explain how a satellite, 22,000+ miles in space, stays up there? Using triangulation(It is at a 36 degree elevation from my location), even using a "FE" model, it is at least 10,000 miles in space, it would be a pretty damn tall tower.......

( I can't believe I am even engaging in this...)

What belief system would that be?

And what evidence can you provide about the existence of satellites, along with their distance from earth?

Really...?

Belief system... that the world is flat, or maybe I should say the total and complete forfeiting of logic and reason. When you take one of those upper atmosphere plane rides, you can see the curvature of the earth for yourself.

Evidence of satellites... I aim a dish at one (actually 5 to 6) daily, it is my work and has been for almost 20 years. I know there exact location, via elevation and azimuth. It is how TV gets to EVERYBODY. Even cable companies get their signal from satellites (in most cases). If not a satellite, please tell me what I am aiming at....

I honestly believe that FEers fall into 2 categories, the VAST majority are joking/pretending, the others have serious mental issues. I work with satellite dish systems, I am aiming at a satellite 22,000+ miles in the sky.... How do they explain satellites....?

By the people that come here and think you are actually serious.
