1. These commercial planes aren't navigating by radar. Who has measured the distance between two distant points with radar and found it to match the distances predicted by RET lat/lon coordinates?

If there were a radar or microwave dish on top of Mount Everest, how far would it be able to communicate if all it needs is line of site? Would that line of site be able to reach, the top of the Burj Khalifa? Mount McKinley?

Do these two cities have line of sight?

Flat Earth Theory / himawari-8

« on: December 08, 2017, 07:56:34 PM »

I tried doing a search for this, but it did not come back with any results. So...

I feel that it is sloppy and over simplified to blame NASA for faking all pictures of the Earth with composites and what not because there are other "agencies" doing the same thing. I think the largest obstacle for the FE enthusiast is the Japanese Himawari-8...   

They have made all visible light pictures from this thing public, and you can go back in history to when they turned on this option. It is claimed to be pictures taken of an entire hemisphere of the Earth every 10 minutes. As well, I can not see any clear evidence to say that this is fake, especially since the pictures are so detailed and so frequent. To navigate to any date and then scroll in on any cloud formation and then skip ahead 10 minutes at a time is truly amazing and would take some next level masterful Jedi Shill skill to fake and to still be representative of what someone on a local level could observe (ie seeing a storm coming above your house and also seeing it from the satellite images)...

I understand the easiest and cheapest response would be... How do you know it's accurate? My immediate response would be, I can look up the local weather/radar on the internet...

Regardless, has this Himarwari-8, been discussed and dismissed?

Is this not a low content post?

It is, and the user is currently banned for repeat offenses (as is visible in the public ban list).

Impressive...

Anyways, I would say that it does not add to someone's credibility when they say that something NEVER EVER has happened, and then dismiss all evidence otherwise. As soon as I started reading this and the guy said, how come no space junk has ever been photographed... I was reminded about this from 5+ years ago

That's a tough one. It is either suspended/supported by something physical. I'm more likely to accept the suspended idea. Or, it is something else. Something I don't think FE logic allows for is accepting the "I don't Know Yet" answer. Conventional Sciences are very good at admitting what the limits of their understanding is. They say, while we do not know what causes the force of gravity, we can measure it. Fringe physics (regardless of if it's Flat Earth or something else) falls victim to needing to have an answer for all aspects. Hence the reason there are 15 different FE models.... I think there would be more power in them saying, this is the model that mostly fits with our observances and these are the areas that we do not have a clear understanding on yet...

I see this in conventional science... They observe the Big Bang Model as a more or less Truth... But the Big Bang event they can't prove... Ya know what I mean Bra'?

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Flat Earth Proof??? Why Not!

I would also like to mention one thing... NASA is not the only "Agency" pushing out whole pictures of the Earth, so when someone says "That looks like it was straight from NASA" or "We Don't acknowledge NASA as a source" be careful, because they are only one of many... The biggest source I've seen is from Japan, and they are pushing out "Round Earth" hemisphere wide shots every 10 minutes.

Please read the Wiki. We do accept what is seen by amateur high altitude balloonists: https://wiki.tfes.org/High_Altitude_Photographs

That link you posted said that they do except amateur high altitude balloon pictures, and that it is accepted that the Earth has a little curve due to seeing the edge of the Sun's Spot Light...
I got excited reading your link and wanted to post this picture from a Long time ago confirming what your link up there says....

One problem I've always had with the Flat Earth Theory is the Earth Plane... is it finite or infinite... Obviously there is a wall which is the cut off point of how far we can explore.

But I always pictured the Flat Earth as a phonograph record, with a bubble (like a bubble wrap bubble) in the middle which would be us... Too me, such a small bubble surrounded by an infinity wide record is wasteful to say the least.

Because I'm not a fan of "Only One"

I found it much easier to imagine this phonograph record with multiple bubbles all over it (like bubble wrap) each being their own earthly existence. I think this makes more sense from a religious standpoint as well. An all powerful God/Creator watching over multiple realities, like a scientist over his lab full of bacteria cultures... A scientist wouldn't only have one, and I don't think a Creator would only have one either. It makes more sense for the wall as well, because then we as creatures of this bubble, would be contained from the others. Who knows, obviously it is just a thought. Getting to the wall and traveling to a point where we could absolutely confirm an edge or not is always going to be difficult.
