Jeran talks about the horizontal image compression which is said to bring out the curvature of the earth. Runtime 9m

OK, you can have that one. Pretty crappy reasoning from those guys.
Just goes to show you there are stupids on both sides.
Tom: "Claiming incredulity is a pretty bad argument. Calling it "insane" or "ridiculous" is not a good argument at all."

TFES Wiki Occam's Razor page, by Tom: "What's the simplest explanation; that NASA has successfully designed and invented never before seen rocket technologies from scratch which can accelerate 100 tons of matter to an escape velocity of 7 miles per second"

I lol’d. I guess this denonstrates the importance of understanding your instrument. Thinking that a compression resulting in monotonic curvature somehow much be indicative of the Earth’s shape is frankly bizarre. If this was the case, we’d all be sliding off the lower end!
The fact.that it's an old equation without good.demonstration of the underlying mechamism behind it makes.it more invalid, not more valid!
