I came up with an experiment that I would like to see performed. My own funds don't allow me to do it myself, or else I would love to oversee it. Therefor, spread this around and see if anyone is willing to make it happen.
Here are the details of the experiment:
1) Send TWO weather balloons up at the same time.
2) Both balloons have to be sent up at different locations [along the path] of the sun - one balloon in the east, and one ballon in the west. The closer to the equator this is done, the better and more conclusive the final results will be.
3) Each balloon has to be equipped with a 55mm lens camera (so as not to show a false bend to the earth), each must have a COMPASSES that can be seen through the camera; and each must have a watch to synchronize the time and date. The camera is also to be pointed straight ahead, and tilted [slightly] upward to get a better view of the sun - I notice in some videos that the sun it too high up to see it in the footage.
4) The balloons are to be sent up at just the right time of the day so that the sun will be between both balloons when they reach maximum height—therefor timing is everything in this experiment—and it may be necessary to perform the experiment a few times to get it perfect Calculations will have to be made before sending them up as to calculate how long it will take for both balloons to rise, what the wind conditions will be like (which direction they'll be blowing), and at what point will the sun be between both balloons.
WHY this experiment is important?
The sun appears close by in many balloon launch videos. You can tell that the DIRECTION of the sun is this way or that way from the balloon; but you can never tell what the direction is, because there's no compass... therefor people just guess that it has to be this way or that, according to the current belief system.
In the currently held scientific (philosophical) model, the sun is 'rising' in the east and 'setting' in the west according to the spinning of the earth, and if you sent a balloon up and looked east or west, it would be impossible to see the sun at mid day because the sun should be [straight above you] in mid day—slightly off-center farther north or south of the equator.
But if you send one balloon up in the east, and you see the sun when looking WEST... At the same time, if the west balloon has to look toward the EAST to see the sun... this proves that the sun is physically in-between the two balloons—the compass will visually show what direction the sun is in from each balloon.
This would be IMPOSSIBLE if the sun if 93 million miles away, because at that distance the sun must be straight up no matter which direction you look.
This would prove that: a) the sun is not 93 million miles away; b) that the earth is not spinning because the sun is moving through the sky; c) yet another video of the flat horizon, and this time with a NAMED camera lens millimeter of 55, which should give the most true shape of the horizon.
IMPROVEMENTS: The only way I can think to improve this experiment is if one could have balloons sent up in the far South and far North at the same time. If each of the four balloons is looking in a different direction and seeing the sun in four direction at the same time... this would send scientists and shills in circles fumbling to explain it away! It would be hilarious!
