Flat Earth Theory / Re: ECHOSTAR (Private Satellite) Earth footage?
« on: April 02, 2022, 12:13:55 PM »What are the errors with WGS83?You accept the evidence, I do not, for the reasons I presented.This thread is about photographs?
The video is a timelapse of individual frames, yes. So it could be regarded as such.
The original broadcast was a live stream, as far as I can gather.
Correct. Action80 would rather argue semantics than actually read what I said. It was a broadcast but they may as well be called “photographs” because it was every 5 minutes. Or call it footage. I don’t care.
Again:
All the POSSIBLE evidence that could exist for space travel and a globe… DOES exist. It doesn’t get much better than what we have: literal photographs, videos, jobs, engineering etc.
You have already decided that no evidence will make you happy, because all the possible evidence does in fact exist.
You seem awfully unhappy over rejection.
Hopefully, you can move on in your life.

You'll see that they will always want to take you along a route that makes sense on a flat earth and no sense on a globe.This implies an accurate and agreed map and model of the earth that shows it is flat. Where is it? What about WGS83?

Yes, it is radiation bombarding the lens. Like I said, this something you can easily recreate on earth. This isn’t us “making up our mind”. You’re running out of straws to grasp at here.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: The Bipolar Model- An Investigation.
« on: March 26, 2022, 10:24:40 PM »What about the WGS84 model?One pilot over 45 years, 10-15 commercial airline emergency landings. So in his career alone, he had almost matched the number of emergency landings your wedding photographer cites. Do the math.
My math is that you didn't bother to provide any assessment on where those emergency landings were and simply assume that they favor your preferred model.QuoteThe map in the wiki, obviously.
There are multiple maps and layouts for the bi-polar model in the wiki. I would suggest you review - https://wiki.tfes.org/Bi-Polar_Model
Both of these have differences between the map you posted. It also clearly says on that page that there is no Bi-Polar map and that these are examples of a possible layout.QuoteI've done the analysis, it doesn't match reality. What has your analysis shown?
The fact that the emergency landing occurred in Alaska and not Hawaii still makes more sense on that particular map. If the route hugged the coasts of Asia and North America in the Pacific Ocean, it would still make sense for an emergency landing in Alaska and not Hawaii.

« on: March 26, 2022, 01:31:03 PM »Please provide a link to a agreed Flat Earth Azimuthal map so we can check.You posted a bunch of reasons why flights might be diverted, but zero reasons for why they would be diverted to a place that would make a straight line between the destinations on a Flat Earth Azimuthal map.You've completely failed to comprehend Gonzo's list. This is not a "bunch of reasons why a flight might be diverted". It's a (non-exhaustive) list of factors that an aircraft commander must consider when deciding which airport he/she should divert to; his point is that it will not necessarily be the nearest, or more obvious to a layman.
Added to that, a close-to great-circle flightpath, particularly in the northern hemisphere, is not necessarily mutually exclusive with a polar azimuthal flat-world map.
None of that explains why the flights make emergency landings in spots that make straight line paths on a Flat Earth Azimuthal map.

« on: March 26, 2022, 12:08:07 PM »Please provide a link to an/the agreed Flat Earth Azimuthal map to discuss.In-flight diversions are a lot more complex than just diverting to the ‘nearest airport’, as some (including the author of that ‘book’) seem to think.
Most international airlines use a service based in Phoenix, AZ called MedLink MedAire. This is a 24/7 operation staffed by ER doctors which is the first port of call for aircraft in the air when there’s a sick passenger.
They will advise the airline on the best course of action.
Factors that need to be considered in choosing a diversion airport:
• If it’s a medical diversion, is the patient stable? Is it every second counts?
• Medical care facilities at the airport, and wider area
• Runway length, runway strength, taxiway strength, anticipated aircraft landing weight
• Weather now and forecast
• Air traffic control provision
• Airport fire fighting and rescue cover
• Fuel and aircraft servicing provision (hydraulic fuel, lubricants, steps to reach the aircraft, baggage facilities, towing capability)
• Does the airline have contracts in place with companies at the proposed diversion airport?
• Engineer/mechanic provision
• Flight crew duty hours
• Relief crew position
• Passenger services (immigration/customs)
• Accommodation for crew and passengers
• Distance from aircraft (to be comfortable for passengers, most airliners require about 10nm for every 3000ft of altitude. The descent rate could be increased somewhat if it was an emergency, but you’re still talking nearly 100nm from 35,000ft).
• Passengers on board (do they need visas to land at proposed diversion? Will they be kept on board for hours while the situation is sorted out?).
• Are there vulnerable passengers on board (i.e. people whom one country would be very keen to get their hands on? (for example the relatively recent incident over Belarus)) .
• Political concerns (i.e. A US flight might go another 20-30nm to avoid diverting to Iran and making it to UAE).
These are factors I have just come up with, and no doubt there are many more to be considered.
To second guess why a crew made a decision to divert to a particular airport with no knowledge of most of these factors (as the 'book' does) is naive in the extreme.
Happy to answer any questions on the above, if I can!
You posted a bunch of reasons why flights might be diverted, but zero reasons for why they would be diverted to a place that would make a straight line between the destinations on a Flat Earth Azimuthal map.

« on: March 25, 2022, 08:02:23 PM »How does GPS work in a flat earth model and received by aircraft far from land?Quite.Yeah, you see the data as part of your job.
The fact that FR24 doesn't present ADS-B location data there doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. It just means they've made a commercial decision not to pay for it.
I see the data as part of my job, certainly from flights over the N. Atlantic.
And it doesn't include data from significant regions.
And, other than some internet jockey making a ridiculous claim, "government could not or would not interfere with that data!" there is no evidence that the government could or would not interfere.
I did look at that very nice PowerPoint slide show from ADS-B marketers.
Fancy, but likely false. Ground-based transponders are still operational (and still maintained for dependable operation) located all across the flat earth, performing the exact same functions.

No real-time data.
Which means there are no real-time flights taking place at the time where real-time data is not posted.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: ECHOSTAR (Private Satellite) Earth footage?
« on: March 24, 2022, 08:36:10 PM »Which government?It is not governments nor institutions that pass judgement on scientific claims but the work of other scientists, i.e. peer-review. Further now, as opposed to in 1920's we have all the evidence of space travel. To claim a work published only in the popular press 100 years ago somehow proves all of space travel (including the things we all can observe working, like GPS, sat TV, etc) must be false, seems quite ridiculous to me.
In the 1920's government connected information was looked upon with skepticism. There were a lot of questionable medical experiments conducted by the federal government, forced sterilization of the disabled, questionable narratives about races, etc. If the government claimed something it might or might not be credible, and was generally untrusted. The government has had a tough time with honesty and integrity.
It has always been far more credible if multiple independent universities and independent scientific groups could verify it. Unfortunately all the the space travel claims are connected with government in some manner. Therefore it has not been peer reviewed. To believe this requires faith in government integrity.
Please explain how satellite broadcasting works with geosynchronous satellites. The angles of dishes are 100% consistent with a round earth.

The position data transmitted by ADS-B is the location received by a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver on the aircraft. We know that GNSS is accurate and repeatable.
There are 4 systems in operation from Russia, Japan, Europe and the US and no reason to doubt them.

« on: March 21, 2022, 04:48:20 PM »Which can be easily done with a £20 SDR receiver and some bent bits of wire for an aerial. And some open source software.Happy to answer any questions on the above, if I can!What do you mean to communicate here:
"Bearing in mind that you or I could buy an ADS-B receiver to feed flight trackers I’m not sure on what basis any government organisation could ‘interfere’ with that data"
I apologise, I thought it was pretty clear.
ADS-B receivers are abvailable to purchase, or receive free of charge in association with one of the many flight tracker wensites out there.
If you are really paranoid, you can plug them into your computer to build your own flight tracker (with limited horizon of around 100-150 miles). you receive the aircraft's transmissions and that shows you on your computer the location of the aircraft. You don't even need an internet connection. What opportunity are you seeing for anyone to interfere with the data in this case?
A large part of my job is verifying ADS-B data for accuracy (we compare it to ATC radar data to safety assure it's use to provide separation between aircraft). If there were major issues with ADS-B accuracy it wouldn't be used.
The accuracy of ADS-B can be seen by comparing eg. FR24 with real time departure and arrival boards for airports. Also by just seeing aircraft flying over and looking at eg. FR24 or a home based receiver to compare.
Those who doubt the accuracy of ADS data and flight routes should provide some evidence. There is only one accepted model of the Earth - WGS84.

Flat Earth Community / Re: Flat Earth maps?
« on: February 25, 2022, 08:32:19 PM »It is not about maps. It's the model. WGS83.I understand your need to firmly cling to the concept: Humanity has a grip on the size and shape of land masses and the distances between places.I mean exactly what I wrote.I don't think I understand the question. In what way is there no agreed map of the earth?
Do you have an answer or not?
By "map" here, I don't mean a flat piece of paper. I mean it in the more general sense that the earth has been mapped - we know the size and shapes of land masses and the distances between places.
In what way do you think any of that is in dispute? We have a whole global transport system and technologies like GPS which rely on this being the case.
And for most places we do; however, the "go to" argument for many RE-adherents here is this: Why the FE map has a problem with the size of Australia, conveniently ignoring, for instance, the problem with the size of Greenland AND Africa on the Mercator.
The fact of the matter is, given the many imperfections of the land (mountains, valleys, hills, and dales, etc.) the true flat earth plane could be relegated to a sphere of the appropriate size accounting for these imperfections and not indicative of its true shape.
That is how the globe came to be.When you have an agreed upon RE map, then feel free to come back and tell us how "easy," it is.You get bullshit when you try to paint reality (i.e., flat earth) in unreal terms (i.e., spherical)
Actually, you get bullshit when you try to paint flat earth into real tearms(sic). This is why there is no agreed upon FE map. IF the earth were flat, creating a map of said earth would be an incredibly simple task with modern technology. It actually would have been an incredibly simple task with less than modern technology.
Jesus, you write as if you are a world renown cartographer or something.
You have no clue about how easy something would be. If you did, then you would have used an "easy," spell check to correct your post.
I'll give you the something (maybe you were a boy scout and took the map reading badge course, who knows), but I will not concede the world-renown cartographer.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Found a fully working flat earth model?
« on: January 29, 2022, 08:43:28 PM »Hello,And how about meaaured distances?
I believe to have found a fully working flat earth model. Anything that can be proven by physics can also be proven in it.
It's very similar to the bendy light/electromagnetic acceleration theory.
All details are on my website including animations of day/night/seasons: https://troolon.com.
But yes, i believe a working flat earth model has finally been developed.
Feel free to have a look.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Experiment to Distinguish FE from RE
« on: January 29, 2022, 08:40:20 PM »It's impossible. FE and RE can never be distinguished.Apart from FE distances being incorrect.
If a complete flat earth model is ever found, it should be able to explain anything physics can explain.
And as both models model reality, both should give the exact same answer for every possible test.
In fact a fully functional flat earth model has actually already been developed, and it has been proven that it's indistinguishable from the globe model.
So not test can ever be found.
In the fully functional model, the gyro aligns with space and returns the same drift the globe model predicts.
BTW: details about the fully functional flat earth model can be found at https://troolon.com.

« on: March 31, 2021, 08:04:04 PM »RE is not required to predict celestial motion. The Ancient Babylonians did it and they believed that the earth was flat, and had no geometrical scheme of planetary or lunar motion behind their predictions.Not relevant. The operation of satellites is proven by the angles calculated to receive their signals.
