Title: Best Flat Earth Video's
Post by: J-Man on April 21, 2018, 04:42:04 PM
This one really gets your attention. It gets 3 to 1 up votes and has 3/4's of a million views. It's hard hitting proving Flat with a beautiful assumption at the end. Enjoy fence sitters.

Within the first minute he says that the horizon remains flat and rises to eye level no matter how high you go up.
Both of those things have been repeatedly proven to be untrue so I think watching the rest would be a waste of my time.

Most of us have flown in a plane @ 30,000 ft. or so and know your statement to be false. No one has ever seen a curvature of the Earth because it's flat. Trust your eyes and watch the video, who is he? btw. This is a well produced documentary with numerous contributors, squashing the fake news of a globe no one has ever seen. Turn the hubble around, oh in decades you can't. You can't get any pictures of Earth either, nothing but CGI. Thanks for playing, fakery.

You can't detect curvature at that height (and I have flown plenty, my work involves travel).
But you can measure the horizon dip at much lower altitudes, several experiments have been outlined and shown on here recently which do that.
Even if NASA are faking all their images (which they aren't), there are plenty of space agencies which have taken film and pictures from space and even amateurs have sent balloons up high enough to see the curve.

No, wrong. The horizon does not rise to my eye level. A sextant can prove this (and has).

So which one do you want us to do then? Trust our eyes that can be easily deceived and incorrect, or blindly accept someone's poorly-produced, unscientific, and non-peer-reviewed video?

We have done that: http://www.stsci.edu/hst/wfpc2/documents/isr/wfpc2_isr0202.pdf and http://www.stsci.edu/hst/wfc3/documents/meeting_posters/aas_217/Pavlovsky_AASflats_final.pdf

The only problem is that Hubble moves too quickly. It's minimum exposure time is .1 seconds. In that time it travels 700 meters (nearly half a mile) over the surface of the earth. It would only see streaks, as shown above.

That was not my assertion. The video tries to provide legitimacy to the SpaceX video by showing that the cloud patterns appear in other sources.

The NOAA does have real time cloud products. Real time data sources are easily searched online.

We can see what the clouds look like right now over the US here: http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/us_comp/small

Overlaying such data over an image in "real time" is trivial. It is overlaid over an image in the above link. The weather man does it. He even often says "this is the cloud coverage right now."

No, I don't think I'm 'assuming' that at all. My premise is that the SpaceX and Himawari imagery is absolutely legitimate.

I'm not concerned with how, why, or whatever would apply IF it was illegitimate. 

There is no reason for the cloud patterns to be phony in such a hoax because meteorological services provide a cloud layer, which we see when the weather man overlays the clouds on different images.

It couldn't. These don't get high enough to get the full-face pictures that Himawari gives us.

The SpaceX craft was in an elliptical orbit, and therefore the perspective on the clouds varies according to orbital height and position. The craft moved in relation to the Earth, Himawari didn't. This can all be seen and accounted for by comparison between the two.

He's saying the clouds would not be phony because they have access to real imagery that could be composited into the video. Thus, the video you provided wouldn't restore credibility.

Pretty good compositing, if so. Got the altered perspective and vantage point just right from what weather imagery could provide.

Over the Horizon Radars can also do vast weather monitoring.

Six OTH radars can cover 90 million square kilometers:

The combined coverage of the six OTH-B radars is about 90 million square kilometers of open ocean where few weather instruments exist.

China has 9.60 million square km (https://www.bing.com/search?q=square%20kilometers%20in%20china), for comparison.

The "Himawari" may just be the point where they finally got their act together, improved their processes, and tied in all the radar data together over an image of the globe for easier visualization and public access.

This wasn't overlaid on an image (which making that fit into a preexisting image of earth would be no trivial task at all). It was live footage. The timestamps are there you can go back and watch the video to see if the screens he used are legit or not.

But my original question wasn't about the video posted here. I was asking about the Starman stream itself, how were those clouds faked into a "CGI" stream in real time and yet accurate to what the cloud formations looked like based on data at the time?

Look into how Doppler Radar creates top down images from ground based radar.
I don't need to learn about radar from YouTube or Wikipedia.

Pulse Doppler radars for detecting and mapping rain are terrestrial and operate in the X-Band. They don't produce photographs either. Their product is turned into graphical presentations, overlaid on a map or photo image from another source (satellite).

Here's what the video you linked to me showed was a Doppler weather product. Does it look photo-realistic to you?
(http://oi63.tinypic.com/35jmpn9.jpg)
Sometimes, weather reports will lay that kind of product over a composited satellite image. Don't confuse that imagery with what the doppler radar is providing.


OTH radar is something entirely different. They are much lower in frequency (longer wavelength) and utilize groundwave or skywave principles to see over the horizon. They don't detect precipitation the way doppler radar does. They see through rain. X-Band doppler radar doesn't, which is why it's used for meteorology. (X-Band doppler also has no over-the-horizon capability).

However OTH radars are used to help data input to meteorology (I don't know how, exactly; I'm only familiar with military uses), but it's an entirely different type of radar from microwave doppler radar.

Besides, neither produces photographic-quality images. No algorithm is used to take radar images (OTH or doppler) and assemble a pseudo-photographic-like product. There are ways for synthetic aperture or ISAR radar to create a visual image with greater detail of an object, but you'd never mistake it for a photograph and it's not used for weather or creating atmospheric images of earth.

The colors from the radar are vibrant red and blues for visual and scientific purposes. It represents the precipitation in the clouds.

It takes only a little more processing to smooth precipitation out into whites and greys.

Is that all?

Do it. You'll make a mint. Because it's not being done now, and the doppler product isn't a presentation that can be interpretated as visible cloud cover.

You're taking a layman's misunderstanding of weather radar and trying to use it to salvage a possible scenario that can justify a preconceived belief that it could be a valid alternative to satellites for high altitude perspective atmospheric imagery.

It's not even a stretch possibility.

Are you saying that it is impossible to turn a blue cloud into a white cloud?

Were you at any of the locations on the earth in the SpaceX video to verify that the cloud looked exactly like the one in the video?

No. No radar is producing images of blue clouds that can be turned into white clouds.

Were you at any of the locations of Rowbotham's experiments, to verify that he saw what he said he saw?

The verification of the clouds in the SpaceX video is the fact that they match the output from an independent source. One is/was a set of cameras on an orbital craft at a max 6900km altitude, the other a geostationary craft at six times this distance. One operated by a private American company, one by the Japanese space agency or meteorological office.

Its precipitation. Precipitation is concentrated in the clouds. Of course it can be turned into a white approximation of a cloud.

Again, you were not there. You don't know what the clouds truly and exactly looked like. We are just seeing the 'clouds' compared in one government sponsored project (SpaceX) compared to the 'clouds' from another government source.

JAXA works with NASA on its satellites and SpaceX is NASA funded. This is basically asking NASA if NASA is legitimate.

Were you there to see the supposed collusion, co-operation or exchange of data between the parties, or is your case going to rest on loose suggestion and implication again?

SpaceX is a private company. Do you assert they are wholly funded by NASA? If so, what do you offer to support this assertion? Have you audited their books? Seen the bank transfers?

There is no color associated with radar returns. Any color is an enhancement for visual. Doppler weather radars are not imaging clouds. They are getting returns from precipitation. The graphics produced from doppler radar are after effects, coded for visual displays by severity (light, heavy, etc.) There are certainly clouds where there is snow or rain, even if it's not reaching the earth's surface, but no video or photographic images are being produced from radar returns. It's just not happening. It's a fiction. You're either making it up or you've let yourself be mistaken.

You started by talking about OTH radar. Which is totally not true. Completely different radar technique and system. Then you introduced doppler, which is STILL not a technique that can produce the kind of earth atmosphere environmental images that SpaceX or anyone can computer-graphically project into the background of a fake space scene.  Just simply, flat out, is not possible today. That's not what radar does.

I don't care. Whatever alternative you want to conjure up to satellite imagery, it's not from radar.

Maybe you should go to meterologynews.com and tell them that you know better than them.

Detect.

Not produce photographic imagery of. I don't see anything on that page that is even slightly similar to the output from either SpaceX or JAXA.

Or maybe I should tell them there are people like you who read these, don't understand, and believe what they're saying is they can image clouds in such a way that they can be turned into photographs.

Believe what you want.  But if you really want to put me in my place, contact either of those references and ask them. Post their response here.

(Of course, if they don't, or they laugh at you, or they give you some spiel contrary to what you think, then you can just chalk it up as more deception.)

ABSTRACT  In this paper, we have presented a feasibility study of weather RADAR in detecting (not imaging) the cloud occurrence level. Weather RADAR is generally used for locating precipitation. However in our study, we have successfully used RADAR data to study the clouds and its related properties (but not image them). Our study shows that cloud height can be accurately detected (not imaged) using RADAR data with indication of the type of cloud (low, mid or high level). We validate our study with images captured from ground-based sky cameras. Our technique shows better  performance in terms of spatial and temporal resolutions, as compared to other cloud detecting models that uses radiosonde
data .

All italic parenthesis is mine.

Feasibility study. Not routine operation, but a try out to see if it worked.

Yes. Those were just a few foreign researchers in Singapore. Imagine what millions in government funding can do.

Now you're getting it.  He can't ever budge on any point of reality or the whole house of cards comes down.
