We have no idea about all of the details of your experiment. What brand of tools and what methods were done to ensure accuracy?
These objects could very well be balloons that NASA routinely deploys into the atmosphere in order to give viewers the impression that satellites are real.
It's a start. I would like to see more people question what they're told about the earth 's shape.
... involved setting up markers of a known height a far distance apart from each other and placing your eye at the level of the first marker and seeing that the horizon was lined up with it.
Do you assert that this method is ... better? more accurate? something else? ... than the U-shaped pipes with coloured water?
An experiment of this sort is far better than one which relies on calibrating devices and careful leveling.
After 12 years of Cold War starting at the end of WWII (and also before then), and constant rocket failure to get into orbit, the US was able to get Explorer 1 into orbit within 3 months of Sputnick.
An off-the-cuff or hand-held surveying demo is not going to cut it. The tolerances are extremely sensitive, and there are many ways it can be wrong. Slight angles and positions and incorrect device calibration will create different results.
Once you have something that is actually irrefutable to FET, let us know, so we can shut down this website.
Water flows down hill.
So .... how does that effect the two linked columns of water? Are you suggesting the farther away one will settle to be lower than the nearer? You suggest that would lead to the sight line along the two pointing downward?
How do we know that water was perfectly leveled out at the point of the line ups?
You can see stationary water in both.
The hand held camera's slight up down motion, in line with the black line of the water in the foreground affects the scene significantly in the far background, even if it is a pixel.
Everything needs to be perfectly leveled and aligned, and this water device is insufficient.
Name a 'sufficient' device, then
Furthermore, on a mountain or large hill, how do you know that the true horizon hasn't disappeared into an atmospheric fog that you can't see, thousands of miles away from you, and is squished beyond imperceptibility? This is clearly what happens when you get to high altitudes like from an international flight. The horizon is very foggy. What makes you think that the same is not true at lower altitudes, but the disappearance is more squished into the horizon by perspective?
Their nature has not been determined.
It's not the same side of the physical world. The earth needs to be lit from the same side side as in starts in the diagram.
The illuminated portion can't turn 365.24 times on a diagram that illustrates the earth going around the sun to its same spot on the oval path.
Typo, clearly.
It should read: There cannot be full solar days in a 365.24 solar day year. There cannot be.
(It read, originally; "The earth can't rotate 24 Solar Days in a 365.24 Solar Day Year")
The problem seems to be ....
The earth can't rotate 24 Solar Days in a 365.24 Solar Day Year.
Okay I’m calling a halt to this, now.
This non -argument was pretty much wrapped at the end of the first page, Tumeni doing much of the lifting work, by the time GG, Macarios, the tree Rat, AATW and others had weighed in it was finished.
...
Do a wind-up statement as concise as possible and leave him, and for your own sanity as well as mine resist all enticements to return.
Start the 24 hour clock on the September Equinox point where it is 12PM Solar Noon at the point of the Equinox and it will end on ~6PM after one Solar Year. Why would it not stop at 12PM if you are in the same position on the earth's orbit around the sun, as per the diagrams?
The equinox doesn't happen at the same time every year. Boom, mystery solved. That's what we've been telling you this whole time. If the September equinox of 2023 happens on the 20th, at solar noon local time, the September equinox of 2024 happens on the 20th at around 18:00 local time. It does not occur at solar noon year to year at any location on Earth, and it would be an extraordinary coincidence if it did.
Dude the SpaceX footage is fake ...
See the diagram above. The Solar Day has to be the same when the earth returns back to the same Equinox point in relation to the sun. It's looking at the sun at the same position.
It's the intellectual equivalent of believing in what Uri Geller is telling us because he totally showed us his abilities.
No, it isn't. Geller has never controlled an illusion viewable by the whole wide world, repeatedly, every 90 minutes, over a number of years. Not only does the ISS appear on schedule, bang on time, every time, but it also never fails to show up, and can sometimes e seen twice in one evening. It shows no deviation of course from that published in advance. It shows no behaviour that would suggest it to be an illusion, trick, or something other than an orbital craft orbiting at roughly 17k mph.
If it were an illusion, it would be an absolutely miraculous one.And shouting "FAKE!" at everything which doesn't fit your world view doesn't make you inquisitive, it's just denial.It's a good thing I'm not doing that, then.
.. you must admit, though, there are plenty of your fellow members and believers outwith this society who do.And you really need to stop conflating a growth in interest in the society (which is mostly people pointing and laughing) with growth in the society itself.Perhaps you need to stop assuming that you have a better insight into the growth of the Flat Earth movement than members of the movement itself? Again, your thoughts and feelings are extremely insignificant in this case, since you're hardly in touch with many FE'ers.
