But on the Right, all you need to do is make the most crazy people happy and you should be good to go.
I would like off the meme universe ride now, please. I have had enough.
I like to think Trump browsed the “terrible political memes” thread and was inspired.
I mean he probably believes the Earth is flat, so who knows?
Being dropped out of a military transport plane doesn't count.
Sneaky NASA
Perhaps you should also look at the entry on Universal Acceleration. Universal, as in, it accelerates the entire universe (except for things on the the surface of the earth and some undetermined distance above).
But what if you end up preventing the birth of the man who killed Hitler!
How do you know what they would say?
do you have any authentic pics of the same occurrence?
How come an image such as this one has never been seen (the top image in the below link) ? i.e. a boat cruising along parallel to the coastline just beyond the horizon. If anyone saw this they would think it was sinking and call the coastguard.
Now, you can invoke EA to explain this I guess,
The impeachment process is a process granted to legitimate Presidents, not illegitimate ones. An illegitimate President would not be granted that process. The process of impeaching the President assumes by default that it is a legitimate President.
I can't see it happening for some reason. But there must be some evidence to show that this has happened in the past - however as it cannot be replicated then the theory might take some proving.
Quote from: AllAroundTheWorldBut in any case, your "experiment" simply demonstrates the part I already wrote in bold above. The very thin hull in your picture will become hard to resolve at a certain distance. And yes, in that case optical magnification could "restore" it. But the reason it can be "restored" is that it isn't hidden in the first place. It isn't behind anything, it just becomes difficult to discern at a certain distance.
Which is exactly what Rowbotham is describing in Earth Not a Globe. When bodies are smaller than 1/60th of a degree they become lost to optical resolution, and are beyond perception. So, you were wrong. This effect does exist and it is reversible with optical zoom.
It was soo brief, appears to be a swell covering the hull with perspective issues also.
FLAT EARTH
There are multiple phenomena that can cause a sinking ship effect - swells, refraction, etc - https://wiki.tfes.org/Sinking_Ship_Effect
We were talking about the specific claim that the hull of a ship can be hidden with distance due to lack of optical resolution and then restored with optical zoom. There is a simple experiment that you can perform to demonstrate this:
