Title: weather balloons
Post by: isaachemming on August 18, 2018, 12:12:22 PM
Can you not just use a weather balloon with a decent video camera to see if the earth is flat or round? I don't see how this could be faked if a flat-earther did it and it would either prove or disprove the flat earth theory.

So, basically, we can't do this because being a flat earther basically means that we don't give credit to video and photographical evidence, because we discredit pictures of the earth and such, so, us believing a video of the horizon is being very hypocritical, and we can't accept some photographical evidence, and not others, because that is biased. I don't really know what I'm talking about, I just wanted to reply because nobody else did.

It could not, mainly because of the atmosphere which will prevent it from going far just out of sight, you can imagine it from there.

YouTube has already done this, there are videos of high altitude weather balloons topping 100thousand ish feet with no curve to be found

And yet people on this forum state after correcting a fish eye lens from Mount Everest at 9000 feet they see the curve 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 retarded. “I see the pixels” from this software corrected photo, 9000 feet really??? NASA states the curve can’t be detected until 35K feet and yet look at the weather balloons toppling 100thousand with no curve. People are hopeless.

I guess this one from 109,000 feet can be used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dfVtaZbuIQ

A lovely video. Thank you for tracking it down.
Has anyone looked at the budget of faking such a video?
It would seem to require almost 4hrs of photo-realistic CG, which puts it far beyond Avatar's budget of 237 million USD.
All that for 22k views? I think not.

Firstly, the people who have made the video might have expected a larger amount of people to view this video. Secondly, who’s to say the people who has made this video did not use CGI or “fancy editing skills” to construct this video.

How many youtube views would be needed to counter the 237 million+ USD cost?
I am unsure that if everyone watched the video it would measure up.
And I agree that it could be CG, I was just doubting the cost.
The cost is kryptonite to most conspiracies.
