Title: why dont you guys put your money where you mouth is and go see earth's curvature

Go see the curvature of the earth for yourself. Or let me guess it's some sort of holographic projection on the inside of the pane of glass and the Russians are in on it too.

The fact that Obama brought this up out of nowhere while giving a speech (in effect putting coals on the fire), is further proof that this is a government psyop.

I wouldn't be surprised if this site all of a sudden becomes unreachable during a government shutdown, exactly like the forums "abovetopsecret" and "godlikeproductions."

This is clearly a government psyop that came out of nowhere because they were feeling the heat so they are attempting to discredit "conspiracies" and make anyone questioning government propaganda appear like a moonbat.

I would. Out of curiosity, though, can you provide some evidence regarding AboveTopSecret and Godlike Productions? If not, could you at least provide the dates during which you allege they were down so I can investigate on my own?

Which government do we represent?

I do find it interesting that you consider a forum set up by a bunch of volunteers to be a "government psyop", but a shady company offering magical flights who doesn't even state their prices is 100% legit. Selective scepticism much?

There is no curvature at the surface of the Earth.

Let us go to lake Ontario (Grimsby - Toronto, distance of 55 km, curvature 59 meters)

TORONTO - BEAMER FALLS CONSERVATION AREA

DISTANCE 55 KM ; CURVATURE OF 59 METERS


Beamer's Falls #071114
River Forty Mile Creek
Class Ramp
Size Medium
Height: 45
Crest: 20
The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority acquired Beamer Memorial Conservation Area in 1964, to protect and preserve the Niagara Escarpment and the Forty-Mile Creek valley system. The site is home to a variety of Carolinian plants and wildlife.

http://www.gowaterfalling.com/waterfalls/beamer.shtml (http://www.gowaterfalling.com/waterfalls/beamer.shtml)


Therefore, from 45 meters in altitude, we should see a huge 59 meter curvature right in front of us, and a visual obstacle of some 65 meters.


Here is the other photograph from Beamer Falls:

Again, no curvature whatsoever across a distance of 55 km, no 59 m midpoint visual obstacle.


Ms. Kerry Ann Lecky-Hepburn took these photographs some years ago: the RE called her, and were told they were taken at an altitude of 170 m in Grimsby.

(http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n206/dharanis1/TorontoDay_zpsca4ccfc6.jpg)

No ascending slope, no midpoint visual obstacle of 59 meters, no curvature whatsoever.

From the very same spot, Ms. Lecky-Hepburn used a reflector telescope for this zoom:

No curvature whatsoever across a distance of 55 km.

Let us go to lake Michigan now.

 
Grand Haven Daily Tribune   April 3, 1925

COAST GUARDS SEE MILWAUKEE LIGHTS GLEAM

Captain Wm. J. Preston and Crew See Lights of Milwaukee

and Racine Clearly From Surf Boat

ANSWER TO FLARE

Crew Runs Into Lake in Search For Flashing Torch

Grand Haven Daily Tribune   April 3, 1925

Captain Wm. J. Preston and his U. S. Coast Guard crew at Grand Haven harbor witnessed a strange natural phenomenon last night, when they saw clearly the lights of both Milwaukee and Racine, shining across the lake.  As far as known this is the first time that such a freak condition has prevailed here.

 The phenomena was first noticed at shortly after seven o’clock last night, when the lookout called the keeper’s attention to what seemed to be a light flaring out on the lake.  Captain Preston examined the light, and was of the impression that some ship out in the lake was “torching” for assistance.

Launch Power Boat

   He ordered the big power boat launched and with the crew started on a cruise into the lake to locate, if possible, the cause of the light.  The power boat was headed due west and after running a distance of six or seven miles the light became clearer, but seemed to be but little nearer.  The crew kept on going, however, and at a distance of about ten and twelve miles out, a beautiful panorama of light unfolded before the eyes of the coast guards.

 Captain Preston decided that the flare came from the government lighthouse at Windy Point at Racine.  Being familiar with the Racine lights the keeper was able to identify several of the short lights at Racine, Wis.

Saw Milwaukee Also

   A little further north another set of lights were plainly visible.  Captain Preston knowing the Milwaukee lights well, easily distinguished them and identified them as the Milwaukee lights.  The lights along Juneau Park water front, the illumination of the buildings near the park and the Northwestern Railway station were clearly visible from the Coast Guard boat.  So clearly did the lights stand out that it seemed as though the boat was within a few miles of Milwaukee harbor. 

   Convinced that the phenomenon was a mirage, or a condition due to some peculiarity of the atmosphere, the keeper ordered the boat back to the station.  The lights remained visible for the greater part of the run, and the flare of the Windy Point light house could be seen after the crew reached the station here.


DISTANCE GRAND HAVEN TO MILWAUKEE: OVER 80 MILES (128 KM).

http://www.coastwatch.msu.edu/images/twomichigans2a.gif (http://www.coastwatch.msu.edu/images/twomichigans2a.gif)


Windy Point Lighthouse:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5f/Wind_Point_Lighthouse_071104_edit2.jpg/800px-Wind_Point_Lighthouse_071104_edit2.jpg (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5f/Wind_Point_Lighthouse_071104_edit2.jpg/800px-Wind_Point_Lighthouse_071104_edit2.jpg)

The lighthouse stands 108 feet (33 m) tall

THE CURVATURE FOR 128 KM IS 321 METERS.

Using the well known formula for the visual obstacle, let us calculate its value:

h = 3 meters BD = 1163 METERS

h = 5 meters BD = 1129 METERS

h = 10 meters BD = 1068 METERS

h = 20 meters BD = 984 METERS

h = 50 meters BD = 827.6 METERS

h = 100 meters BD = 667.6 METERS


No terrestrial refraction formula/looming formula can account for this extraordinary proof that the surface across lake Michigan is flat.



Moreover, as we have seen, the light from Windy Point was continuously observed, during the approach, and during the return to the station:

The power boat was headed due west and after running a distance of six or seven miles the light became clearer, but seemed to be but little nearer.  The crew kept on going, however, and at a distance of about ten and twelve miles out, a beautiful panorama of light unfolded before the eyes of the coast guards.

The keeper ordered the boat back to the station.  The lights remained visible for the greater part of the run, and the flare of the Windy Point light house could be seen after the crew reached the station here.

Gah, stop with all your over-water pictures! You magically assume that Pythagoras is enough to settle the debate, but conveniently as always, FE believers use only the tools that support their claims. When do you guys understand, that Pythagoras isn't ENOUGH to explain the visible curvature of Earth, especially over water? It's even worse that it's misty weather on all pictures. And yes, I'm talking about atmospheric refraction.

To top it off, you took the pictures from 40-some meters altitude? Im literally shaking my head at you while typing this.

When do you guys understand, that Pythagoras isn't ENOUGH to explain the visible curvature of Earth, especially over water?

But there is no visible curvature of Earth, especially over lake Ontario.

In fact, you could not miss it: it measures a huge 59 meters, absolutely nonexistent.


Actually, it takes more than the theorem of Pythagoras...

VISUAL OBSTACLE

(http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n206/dharanis1/Capture_zpswhoewt2o.jpg)

BD = (R + h)/{[2Rh + h2]1/2(sin s/R)(1/R) + cos s/R} - R


BD = visual obstacle

h = altitude of observer


Atmospheric refraction won't help you at all: not in these photographs.

However, here is the general formula: http://ireland.iol.ie/~geniet/eng/refract.htm#


You can ascend all the way to 213 meters to take pictures, it still won't help your case (213 meters highest point in Grimsby): there is no ascending slope, no midpoint curvature of 59 meters, everything is in plain sight, a totally flat surface of the lake.

I'm gonna link you to a post I did earlier on the sister-site of tfes.org.

http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=64532.msg1728715#msg1728715

I even posted this earlier in these forums today as well.

To keep it short: I've succeeded multiple times snapping pictures from 24+ km with visible curvature. As I ended the linked post, next launches are january and february during nighttime, to catch the (even more visible) curvature of Earth during a sunrise.

Not that I didn't know this up front, but there's nothing FE'ers can say that will ever prove the Earth is flat. And that's exactly what FE'ers have to do. It's your job to disprove Round Earth, but you can't. I have actually confirmed (at least to myself) that the Earth is a globe, by spending as little as $500 on equipment.

What have FE'ers ever done, but being internet warriors, looking out their window, or snapping pictures over water disregarding all physics but Pythagoras for playing with elementary-school level geometry?

We have already debated here this subject (amateur rockets, balloons).

An innocent question: how did you determine the 24 km altitude?

The Earth cannot both be round and flat at the same time: the photographs across lake Ontario are very clear: no curvature whatsoever across 55 km.

Your high flying image proves nothing for the RE: it is identical, as an example, to the photographs taken aboard the Concorde, discussed earlier.

GPS, I already said that in the link I gave you, which you obviously didn't read.

And please, saying GPS isn't a reliable source is just digging the already pretty deep hole even deeper.

It would be fairly simple to calculate the altitude from the radio signals as there's usually 5 or 6 amateur trackers receiving the signal

GPS is not and cannot be a reliable source when it comes to determining the altitude.

Here is how altitude is measured in weather balloons:

http://www.webmet.com/met_monitoring/912.html

The altitude of the balloon is typically determined using thermodynamic variables or through the use of satellite-based Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Pressure is usually measured by a capacitance aneroid barometer or similar sensor.

How do other amateur rocket endeavours measure their claims?

Altitude verification for the rocket will be primarily based on signals from an onboard Trimble GPS receiver. Backup will come from accelerometer data.

But in fact satellites orbit at a much lower altitude, and are powered by Tesla's cosmic ray device.

An altimeter actually includes an aneroid barometer which measures the atmospheric pressure. A radar altimeter uses radio signals. Both methods do not take into account the layers of aether which exist starting at about 13-14 km in altitude and going to about 15 km, and which influence both the pressure reading and also the distance actually travelled by the radar waves.


I debunked both possibilities by showing that the aether pressure is not taken into consideration when recording the pressure by an aneroid barometer (not to mention GPS).


Ether waves = radio waves

Many times another poster has noted that the things that  sandokhan says won't work, do work and are used every day.The amateur radio "Moon Bounce" and the Astronomical Observatory measurements of the distance from the earth to the moon do work and are proof of the distance. I would not be a bit  surprised if sandokhan said that radar doesn't work and is completely erroneous. Also much of sandokhan's are "copy pasta" irrelevant to the subject and mostly complete nonsense. It seems this is the main method employed by flat earthers when confronted with the simple fact that the earth is a globe and not a flat disc.And much of "flat earth" relies on Rowbotham's erroneous ideas.
Flat earth does not even deserve the term "theory."

What is a radio wave? What is an electromagnetic wave?

In 1887, Heinrich Hertz announced that he had discovered electromagnetic
waves, an achievement at that time of no small imporl. In 1889, Nikola Tesla
attempted the reproduction of these Hertzian experiments. Conducted with
absolute exactness in his elegant South Fifth Avenue Laboratory, Tesla found
himself incapable of producing the reported effects. No means however applied
would produce the effects which Hertz claimed. Tesla began experimenting
with abrupt and powerful electric discharges, using oil filled mica
capacitors charged to very high potentials. He found it possible to explode thin
wires with these abrupt discharges. Dimly perceiving something of importance
in this experimental series, Tesla abandoned this experimental series, all the
while pondering the mystery and suspecting that Hertz had somehow mistakenly
associated electrostatic inductions or electrified shockwaves in air for true
electromagnetic waves.

In fact, Tesla visited Hertz and personally proved these
refined observations to Hertz who, being convinced that Tesla was correct,
was about to withdraw his thesis. Hertz was truly disappointed, and Tesla
greatly regretted having to go to such lengths with an esteemed academician in
order to prove a point.

Hertz made a collosal mistake: he created shock waves in air, not true electromagnetic waves, that is, just ripples in the sea of ether.


An electromagnetic wave is simply a ripple in the sea of ether waves: it consists of two scalar waves, which propagate in a double torsion motion.

Tesla kept the ripples in the ether sea (electromagnetic waves) to a minimum, while sending the entire signal/impulse ONLY through the laevorotatory ether scalar wave (sometimes going beyond the speed of light): it is exactly how he achieved his legendary and fantastic results, by NOT using the hertzian ripples in the ether waves.

A normal electromagnetic wave will produce a temporary ripple in the ether sea, the signal transmitted will travel at the speed of light, in the absence of a higher density of aether (medium) and ether waves.


Tesla upholds the startling theory formulated by him long ago, that the radio transmitters as now used, do not emit Hertz waves, as commonly believed, but waves of sound. He says that a Hertz wave would only be possible in a solid ether, but he has demonstrated already in 1897 that the ether is a gas, which can only transmit waves of sound; that is such as are propagated by alternate compressions and rarefactions of the medium in which transverse waves are absolutely impossible. Dr. Hertz, in his celebrated experiments, mistook sound waves for transverse waves and this illusion has been continually kept up by his followers, and has greatly retarded the development of the wireless art. As soon as the expert become convinced of this fact they will find a natural and simple explanation of all the puzzling phenomena of the so-called radio.


The original set of J.C. Maxwell's e/m ether equations show and prove that Tesla's discovery is true.

The speed of light is a variable and depends on the density of the aether (medium through which ether/scalar waves/telluric waves).


Without the correct definition of a radio wave, the UAFE are basically defenseless when it comes to explaining GPS/radar/doppler shift effect.

Oh, and combine it with a radio transmitter like NTX2 to understand how it generates radio waves at different frequencies. It's all very measureable with spectrometers and the likes, and in my next blog post, I'll feature a video showing you this from both an electronics viewpoint and a source code viewpoint. It's time to kill off these fairy tales that you all just copy/paste for good!
Title: Re: why dont you guys put your money where you mouth is and go see earth's curvature
Post by: sandokhan on November 14, 2015, 01:29:44 PM
You mentioned GPS and NTX2.

They use radio waves and microwaves.

In my last message I brought to your attention the very fact that the definition used for a radio wave, in modern science, is wrong (in addition to the bibliographical material, I used my own words for about a third of the entire post).

It is Nikola Tesla who discovered and invented: radio waves, microwaves, X-rays, radar.


Tesla on the invention of radar
 
In August 1917 Nikola Tesla outlined a concept for primitive radar-like units. He stated:
 
"...by their [standing electromagnetic short waves] use we may produce at will, from a sending station, an electrical effect in any particular region of the globe; [with which] we may determine the relative position or course of a moving object, such as a vessel at sea, the distance traversed by the same, or its speed".
 
 
http://www.teslascience.org/pages/tesla.htm#warden
 
Everyone has heard of RADAR, but few people know that the men who built the first primitive RADAR units in 1934 were following principals, mainly regarding frequency and power level, that were first established by Tesla in 1917.
 
Tesla’s 1917 proposal for Directed Energy submarine warfare (Tesla's Views on Electricity and the War - The Electrical Experimenter - August, 1917 and New Yankee Tricks to Circumvent the U-Boat - The Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette, Fort Wayne, Indiana - August 19, 1917) is eerily similar to a 2008 US Department of Defense proposal.


Do you understand what a radio wave is?

If not, pay attention.

A Hertzian wave is just a ripple in the sea of ether.

Ether = subquark strings = telluric currents

A telluric current is a transversal wave, through which flow/propagate longitudinal waves.

A non-Hertzian wave is just such a longitudinal wave, propagating through the transversal wave.

This is true wireless.

Tesla used exclusively non-Hertzian waves, and none of the Hertzian waves.

The speed of a radio wave is completely and absolutely linked to the density of aether in the atmosphere.

PS: A telluric current is a low frequency current traversing through water or under ground. If by sea of ether you mean "ocean", then you're correct. Also, electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light.

Yes, yes I do. I've already said most of it, and I'm one of those guys who 1) don't like to repeat myself, and 2) don't copy/paste previous posts I did and/or stuff I found on the internet.

I can contribute to the debate as much as I want. For instance, I informed that a telluric current travelled through water and underground, and is a very low frequency current, thus opposing/defactualising what was previously claimed by sandokhan.

In general, I can state how amused I am as much as I want, and I find it amusing that internet soldiers like sandokhan claims to have "debunked something" by "showing or copy/pasting material from Eric Dubay/insert other fraudulent non-science doomsday prophets here".

Sandokhan hasn't proved or debunked anything at all. He hasn't shown that he conducted any experiments and/or display practical knowledge and experience in any fields relating to this. He's just citing like-minded people with similar lack of practical experience, and that is very funny to me, alas the "I'm amused" comment.

As such, it takes some 30 seconds to dismiss your messages.

You still do not understand the meaning of a radio wave.

At the present time, GPS devices (the one you relied upon to determine the 24 km altitude), use RADIO RIPPLES IN THE SEA OF ETHER, and not true radio waves, as proven by Nikola Tesla.

These ripples strongly depend upon the density of aether in the atmosphere.

The higher the density, the slower the speed of propagation of those ripples.

That is why your reading of 24 km is completely bonkers.

I invited you to do your homework: here is the precise proof of the existence of ether.

So much wall of text, and I've read a lot of your posts in its entirety. As I said earlier, I'm not going to repeat myself, or keep linking to my own findings. I'm seriously wondering why NO ONE appears to confirm your "results" - Reproduceability is key in science, and yet nobody can confirm your mind boggling results, which would change the world in an instant. Get off the web, internet soldier, and get your work approved in the real world. I'm done dealing with your conspiracy-infected brain.

Wait. Hold up.

You 'created' your own formulas and surpassed what Euler, Bernoulli, Lagrange, Jacobi and Gauss were able to do? I read that right?

And I'm in the process of wading through 14 pages of your textwalls which really and truly provide a great incite to what's really going on here.

Nothing like citing your own work to prove your own work is true.

A global logarithm formula was one of the goals of many mathematicians (be it the falsified eighteenth century manuscripts of Euler, or the nineteenth century masters of mathematics).

I realized that to obtain such a formula a brand new approach was needed: one that did not involve calculus.


I'm seriously wondering why NO ONE appears to confirm your "results

The fact that a radio wave is actually an ether wave has been proven multiple times: Tesla, Moray, Brown, Dayton Miller, Galaev.

The most "mind boggling" fact of science is ball lightning: the production of one megawatt of energy from a 3 cm diameter ether tornado (this is true free energy, and not some geometrical arrangement of various magnets to squeeze out a few kilowatts).

Apparently you joined the party late. I provided self-funded experiments with indisputable results, and I have to stand guard against claims of self proclaimed mathematical genius involving results not using calculus, all while dismissing my methodology because I'm using devices claimed not to be valid, based on basically a hunch?

That is laughable in all honesty, and I can say that while maintaining scientific integrity.

So you're a mathematical savant? What are your credentials in the field of mathematics?

I'm genuinely curious and not trying to be an ass. But it isn't every day I run across someone who claims to be able to solve complex logarithms that stumped the mathematical minds of history by creating his own formulas.

I am also just curious about the reason why some people are so convinced in their minds that the earth is some flat pan-cake shaped disc. Mr. sandokhan is also a bit of curiosity in his long posts, often  only more than a lot of copy pasta which seem to me to be curious in that that they don't seem to be related to the question of an attempt to prove the earth is not a globe.

But I am not the genius such as sandokhan and sceptimatic. My areas of knowledge are in rather simply things such as radio, radar and computers. I only have an Associate degree. But I am sure I am not alone as to why I am curious to know why some people believe in this "flat earth idea" when it is simply "common knowledge" that the earth is a globe . I still think (IMHO)  that it is just a game they like to play.
It does supply a lot of cheap entertainment.

I don't know if it would be more or less entertaining IF:
1.  There was no evidence of the earth being a round globe.
2.  There was some evidence of the earth being a flat disc.

A "Yes" would have been sufficient, but you don't do simple do you? You do intentionally and unnecessarily complex in the hopes that someone will be too lazy to read what you write/post or that you can flood a legitimate reader with so very much at once that digestion is impossible.

Anyway. 

How do you account for every visible celestial object being 'aimed' right at the earth so that they are observed as being circular?
Why are none canted with the visible field oblong? Why are none sideways or 'facing' away from the earth?

This is easily verified with your own eye and a telescope you can spend a handful of bucks on.

The proposition that all celestial bodies are disc shaped seems to support an incredibly geocentric model of the universe. If geocentrism is NOT at the core of your particular brand of flat-earth theory, then not all celestial bodies are flat, indeed none of them are- up to and including.....well.....you know.

...responses that only remotely brush the subject matter in an attempt to mask your own lack of real data or change the subject altogether.

But I have the very real data to always back up my claims.

You just haven't done your homework on the subject.

Let me prove, using the most precise of all astronomical tools, Gauss' Easter formula, that everything you know about ancient/medieval history is false.


Dionysius Exiguus, On Easter (translation from Latin to English)

(http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n206/dharanis1/dio2_zpsabc530db.jpg)

Exiguus assigns the date of March 24, year 563 AD, for the Passover.


(http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n206/dharanis1/dio3_zps40fd1c05.jpg)

http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~gent0113/easter/easter_text4a.htm (http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~gent0113/easter/easter_text4a.htm)

However, in the year 563 AD, the Passover fell on March 25.


Dr. G.V. Nosovsky:

Ecclesiastical tradition, in accordance with the New Testament, tells that Christ was resurrected on March 25 on Sunday, on the next day after Passover, which, therefore, fell in that time on March 24 (Saturday). These are exactly the conditions used by Dionisius in his calculation of the date of the First Easter.

Dionysius supposedly conducted all these arguments and calculations working with the Easter Book. Having discovered that in the contemporary year 563 (the year 279 of the Diocletian era) the First Easter conditions held, he made a 532-year shift back (the duration of the great indiction, the shift after which the Easter Book entirely recurs) and got the date for the First Easter. But he did not know that Passover (the 14th moon) could not be shifted by 532 years (because of the inaccuracy of the Metonian cycle) and made a mistake: "Dionysius failed, though he did not know that. Indeed, if he really supposed that the First Easter fell on March 25, 31 A.D., then he made a rough mistake as he extrapolated the inaccurate Metonian cycle to 28 previous cycles (that is, for 532 years: 28 x 19 = 532). In fact, Nisan 15, the Passover festival, in the year 31 fell not on Saturday, March 24, but on Tuesday, March 27!". [335, pg. 243: I.A. Klimishin, Calendar and Chronology, in Russian, Nauka, Moscow, 1985]


That is a modern reconstruction of what Dionysius the Little did in the 6th century. It would be all right, but it presupposes that near Dionysius' date of 563 A.D. the 14th moon (Passover) really fell on March 24. It could be that Dionysius was not aware of the inaccuracy of the Metonian cycle and made the mistake shifting Passover from 563 to the same day of March in 31 A.D.

But he could not have been unaware of the date of Passover in the the almost contemporary year 563! To that end it was sufficient to apply the Metonian cycle to the coming 30-40 years; the inaccuracy of the Metonian cycle does not show up for such intervals.


But in 563 Passover (the 14th moon) fell not on March 24, but on Sunday, March 25, that is, it coincided with Easter as determined by the Easter Book.



As he specially worked with the calendar situation of almost contemporary year 563 and as he based his calculation of the era "since the birth of Christ" on this situation, Dionysius could not help seeing that, first, the calendar situation in the year 563 did not conform to the Gospels' description and, second, that the coincidence of Easter with Passover in 563 contradicts the essence of the determination of Easter the Easter Book is based on.



Therefore, it appears absolutely incredible that the calculations of the First Easter and of the Birth of Christ had been carried out in the 6th century on the basis of the calendar situation of the year 563. It was shown in Sec. 1 that the Easter Book, used by Dionysius, had not been compiled before the 8th century and had been canonized only at the end of the 9th century. Therefore, the calculations carried out by (or ascribed to) Dionysius the Little had not been carried out before the lOth century.

www.chronologia.org/en/es_analysis2/index.html (http://www.chronologia.org/en/es_analysis2/index.html) (pages 390 - 401 and 401 - 405)


Exiguus, the central  pillar of the official historical chronology, could not have made such a colossal mistake UNLESS his works/biography were forged/falsified at least five centuries later in time.

In the official chronology, Bede, Syncellus, Scaliger, Blastares, and Petavius base their calculations on Exiguus' methods and data.


Dr. G.V. Nosovksy verified the interval of 100 BC - 1700 AD, using the exact conditions stipulated by Exiguus, and found that ONLY the date of 1095 AD corresponds exactly.


The complete demonstration that the Council of Nicaea could not have taken place before the year 876-877 AD:

A briefer version:

http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=30499.msg1488947#msg1488947 (http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=30499.msg1488947#msg1488947)


Since Exiguus' work was obviously falsified by persons who had no knowledge of Gauss' Easter formulas, it means that the entire edifice of modern historical chronology comes crashing down: we have already seen the proofs that place Pompeii and Herculaneum as cities in full activity in the 18th century.


In the official chronology of history we find one of the most perplexing mysteries.

Kepler advocated the adoption of the reformed calendar in a work entitled "Dialogue on the Gregorian Calendar" published in 1612.

http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu//full/1920PA.....28...18L/0000021.000.html (http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu//full/1920PA.....28...18L/0000021.000.html)

In 1613, the Emperor Matthias asked Kepler to attend the Reichstag at Regensburg to counsel on the issue of adopting the Gregorian calendar reform in Germany. In Germany, the Protestant princes had refused to accept the calendar on confessional grounds. Kepler believed that the new calendar was sufficiently exact to satisfy all needs for many centuries. Thus, he proposed that the Emperor issue a general imperial decree to implement the calendar.


Moreover, the arch enemy of the Vatican, Galileo Galilei, also agrees with the changes instituted by the Gregorian calendar.

Clavius was the senior mathematician on the commission for the reform of the calendar that led, in 1582, to the institution of the Gregorian calendar.
 
From his university days, Galileo was familiar with Clavius's books, and he visited the famous man during his first trip to Rome in 1587. After that they corresponded from time to time about mathematical problems, and Clavius sent Galileo copies of his books as they appeared.


http://books.google.ro/books?id=o6-8BAAAQBAJ&pg=PA24&lpg=PA24&dq=galileo+galilei+gregorian+calendar&source=bl&ots=ORPJHVLJB5&sig=MMjwonnPkIE6XYnFrcMCS3Yow20&hl=ro&sa=X&ei=UStiVO3mFY2zaczhgMAN&ved=0CB4Q6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=galileo%20galilei%20gregorian%20calendar&f=false (http://books.google.ro/books?id=o6-8BAAAQBAJ&pg=PA24&lpg=PA24&dq=galileo+galilei+gregorian+calendar&source=bl&ots=ORPJHVLJB5&sig=MMjwonnPkIE6XYnFrcMCS3Yow20&hl=ro&sa=X&ei=UStiVO3mFY2zaczhgMAN&ved=0CB4Q6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=galileo%20galilei%20gregorian%20calendar&f=false)


Thesaurus Temporum, published by Joseph Scaliger, which was based almost entirely on the calculations of Dionysius Exiguus and Matthew Blastares, received criticism from Johannes Kepler.


However, it is absolutely impossible (and amazing at the same time) for Johannes Kepler to have agreed with the Gregorian calendar reform, given the fact that he was familiar with the popular work attributed to Matthew Blastares.

It would have been perfectly simple for Kepler and Galilei to show the humongous errors inherent in the Gregorian calendar reform, to publicize these results, and thus have a very solid base on which to express their opinions regarding the planetary system.

All Kepler had to do is to refer each and every historian/astronomer/researcher of his time to the familiar quote signed Matthew Blastares:


"By about AD 1330, the medieval scholar Matthew Vlastar wrote the following about how to determine the anniversary of Christ's resurrection in the Collection of Rules of the Holy Fathers of the Church:

The rule on Easter has two restrictions: not to celebrate together with the Israelites and to celebrate after the spring equinox. Two more were added by necessity: to have the festival after the very first full Moon after the equinox and not on any day but on the first Sunday after the full Moon. All the restrictions except the last one have been kept firmly until now, but now we often change for a later Sunday. We always count two days after the Passover [full Moon] and then turn to the following Sunday. This happened not by ignorance or inability of the Church fathers who confirmed the rules, but because of the lunar motion.

In Vlastar's time, the last condition of Easter was violated: if the first Sunday took place within two days after the full moon, the celebration of Easter was postponed until the next weekend. This change was necessary because of the difference between the real full moon and the one computed in the Easter Book. The error, of which Vlastar knew, is twenty-four hours in 304 years.

Therefore the Easter Book must have been written around AD 722. Had Vlastar been aware of the Easter Book's AD 325 canonization, he would have noticed the three-day gap that had accumulated between the dates of the real and the computed full moon in more than 1,000 years."

(http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/6964/sky10.jpg)


And yet, to the amazement and uncomprehending stupor of modern historians, no such thing happened.

Not only Kepler or Galilei, but every reader of Scaliger's works could have brought forward the quote from Blastares, and reveal the errors made by Luigi Lilio (the Gregorian reform of the calendar was carried out on the basis of the project of the
Italian "physician and mathematician" Luigi Lilio).

As we have seen, in the year 1582, the winter solstice would have arrived on December 16, not at all on December 11:

http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=30499.msg1488947#msg1488947 (http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=30499.msg1488947#msg1488947)


Newton agrees with the date of December 11, 1582 as well; moreover, Britain and the British Empire adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1752 (official chronology).

http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu//full/1920PA.....28...18L/0000024.000.html (http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu//full/1920PA.....28...18L/0000024.000.html)

No less a figure than Isaac Newton (1642-1727) also took an active interest in the field, publishing "The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended", a substantial monograph disputing several key conclusions in Scaliger's work.

But Newton couldn't possibly have missed the work done by Blastares, and the quote attributed to the same author.


Benjamin Franklin told his readers of the Poor Richard's Almanac to enjoy the extra 11 days in bed and that losing 11 days did not worry him--after all, Europe had managed since 1582.

http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu//full/1920PA.....28...18L/0000024.000.html (http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu//full/1920PA.....28...18L/0000024.000.html)

But in 1752 AD, the error/discrepancy between the false Gregorian calendar reform and the real calendar would have amounted to a full 3 (three) days difference, a thing that could not have been missed by any researcher.



In 1806, Napoleon, we are told, ordered a return to the Gregorian calendar.

In accordance with the Concordat with Pope Pius VII (1742-1823), signed July 15, 1801, a decree put an end to the revolutionary calendar. On 17 Brumaire Year 14 (November 8, 1805) the Minister of Finance announced the January 1, 1806, return to the Gregorian calendar which had been outlawed in October 1793.

But in 1806 AD, the error would have been at least a full 2 (two) days, and no one could have missed this huge discrepancy.

The 10 day cumulative error in the Vernal Equinox date since the Council of Nicaea until the year 1582 AD is due just to the reform of the Julian calendar: if we add the axial precession argument, then  the cumulative errors would have added to even more than 10 days, because of the reverse precessional movement. No RE axial precession means that the Earth did not ever orbit around the Sun, as we have been led to believe. And it means that the entire chronology of the official history has been forged at least after 1750 AD.

I think I'm starting to get the hang of it, and I recognize it from MY line of work in 'the real world.'

Evasive language, using too many words to say nothing, adamant refusal to answer simple questions out of fear of being trapped into an admission or mistake...these are clear symptoms of people who KNOW they've got something wrong, but can't- or won't admit it, either out of pride or for fear of ramifications.

I think the guy's been resting on the laurels handed to him from some of the simpler FE proponents for so long, that its gone to his head, and by now he's lying to THEM as much as he's lying to us, simply for the sake of his own ego.

Don't like that assessment? Try a 'yes' or 'no' answer from time to time- or- God forbid..an "I don't know."

Before I get the chop for 'no post content' - I'll go backwards and ask again.

Are all celestial bodies discs? If so, why are none observed to be anything but exactly 'round' when viewed through telescopes which you yourself can buy? How do you explain that every other celestial body seems to be 'looking' right at us?

And to add to the question:

If Round Earth "Theory" is so far out because it would imply an unrealistic amount of stuff happening "by chance"; If all celestial bodies are in fact discs but every single one of them is facing us, wouldn't that also be an unrealistic amount of stuff happening "by chance" ?

The Moon has astonishing synchronicity with the Sun. When the Sun is at its lowest and weakest in mid-winter, the Moon is at its highest and brightest, and the reverse occurs in mid-summer. Both set at the same point on the horizon at the equinoxes and at the opposite point at the solstices. What are the chances that the Moon would naturally find an orbit so perfect that it would cover the Sun at an eclipse and appear from Earth to be the same size? What are chances that the alignments would be so perfect at the equinoxes and solstices?

It can be proven immediately that the shape of the Sun must be that of a disk (and not spherical):

Impossibility of a round Sun shape:

"The atmospheric pressure of the sun, instead of being 27.47 times greater than the atmospheric pressure of the earth (as expected because of the gravitational pull of the large solar mass), is much smaller: the pressure there varies according to the layers of the atmosphere from one-tenth to one-thousandth of the barometric pressure on the earth; at the base of the reversing layer the pressure is 0.005 of the atmospheric pressure at sea level on the earth; in the sunspots, the pressure drops to one ten-thousandth of the pressure on the earth.

The pressure of light is sometimes referred to as to explain the low atmospheric pressure on the sun. At the surface of the sun, the pressure of light must be 2.75 milligrams per square centimeter; a cubic centimeter of one gram weight at the surface of the earth would weigh 27.47 grams at the surface of the sun. Thus the attraction by the solar mass is 10,000 times greater than the repulsion of the solar light. Recourse is taken to the supposition that if the pull and the pressure are calculated for very small masses, the pressure exceeds the pull, one acting in proportion to the surface, the other in proportion to the volume. But if this is so, why is the lowest pressure of the solar atmosphere observed over the sunspots where the light pressure is least?

Because of its swift rotation, the gaseous sun should have the latitudinal axis greater than the longitudinal, but it does not have it. The sun is one million times larger than the earth, and its day is but twenty-six times longer than the terrestrial day; the swiftness of its rotation at its equator is over 125 km. per minute; at the poles, the velocity approaches zero. Yet the solar disk is not oval but round: the majority of observers even find a small excess in the longitudinal axis of the sun. The planets act in the same manner as the rotation of the sun, imposing a latitudinal pull on the luminary.

Gravitation that acts in all directions equally leaves unexplained the spherical shape of the sun. As we saw in the preceding section, the gases of the solar atmosphere are not under a strong pressure, but under a very weak one. Therefore, the computation, according to which the ellipsoidity of the sun, that is lacking, should be slight, is not correct either. Since the gases are under a very low gravitational pressure, the centrifugal force of rotation must have formed quite a flat sun.

Near the polar regions of the sun, streamers of the corona are observed, which prolong still more the axial length of the sun.

If planets and satellites were once molten masses, as cosmological theories assume, they would not have been able to obtain a spherical form, especially those which do not rotate, as Mercury or the moon (with respect to its primary)."



Solar Atmosph. Pressure as a Function of Depth (official science information)

Depth (km) % Light from this Depth Temperature (K) Pressure (bars)

0 99.5 4465 6.8 x 10-3
100 97 4780 1.7 x 10-2
200 89 5180 3.9 x 10-2
250 80 5455 5.8 x 10-2
300 64 5840 8.3 x 10-2

375 18 6910 1.4 x 10-1
400 4 7610 1.6 x 10-1

This table indicates that the solar atmosphere changes from being almost completely transparent to being almost opaque over a distance of about 400 km. Notice also that in this region the temperature drops rapidly as we near the surface, and that the pressure (measured in bars, where one bar is the average atmospheric pressure at the surface of the Earth) is very low - generally 1% or less of Earth surface atmospheric pressure.

But the Sun does not have low gravitational pressure, you're mixing stuff up. Inside a star, the inward force of gravity is "balanced" by the outward force of pressure.

By precipitously answering in such a manner, you are not doing the RE any favors at all.

Obviously, you haven't done any homework on the subject.

Let me do it for you.

Therefore, the GRAVITATIONAL-PRESSURE BALANCE is totally lacking.

Then, A NEW FORCE HAS TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR: THE CENTRIFUGAL FORCE OF ROTATION.

Because of its swift rotation, the gaseous sun should have the latitudinal axis greater than the longitudinal, but it does not have it.

Gravitation that acts in all directions equally leaves unexplained the spherical shape of the sun. As we saw in the preceding section, the gases of the solar atmosphere are not under a strong pressure, but under a very weak one.

Near the polar regions of the sun, streamers of the corona are observed, which prolong still more the axial length of the sun.


Inside a star, the inward force of gravity is "balanced" by the outward force of pressure.

The inward force of gravity is just a hypothesis: all I have to do is remind you of the Double Forces of Attractive Gravitation Paradox, to see the fallacy in such a concept.

But we also have the solar neutrinos paradox.

Sun Neutrino Paradox

http://www.electric-cosmos.org/sun.htm

http://www.jyi.org/volumes/volume9/issue2/features/cull2.html

The explanation offered in the 1930s by H. Bethe (thrown out of Germany for incompetence) is completely wrong, and the modern arguments using the tau-neutrino/muon-neutrino (from electron-neutrino), and a fourth type of neutrino, do not work either.

A work which shows that the sun neutrino problem has not been solved at all:

http://www.electric-cosmos.org/sudbury.htm

The 'missing neutrinos' problem is a serious one. *Corliss considers it 'one of the most significant anomalies in astronomy.' (W.R. Corliss, Stars, Galaxies, Cosmos (1987), p. 40.)


It is hoped that some type of 'barrier' will yet be found which is shielding the earth so that solar neutrinos which ought to be there since the hydrogen fusion theory 'has to be correct'will yet be discovered. But Larson takes a dim view of the situation.

'The mere fact that the hydrogen conversion process can be seriously threatened by a marginal experiment of this kind emphasizes the precarious status of a hypothesis that rests almost entirely on the current absence of any superior alternative. 'Dewey B. Larson, Universe in Motion (1984), p. 11.


Scientists have searched for incoming solar neutrinos since the mid-1960s, yet hardly any arrive to be measured. Yet, they dare not accept the truth of the situation, for that would mean an alternative which would shatter major evolutionary theories.

So the mathematics that NASA use isn't flawed then, The Horizon curves by: sqrt(radius^2 + distance^2)-radius, equivalent to distance^2/R*2. At 100 km, it the horizon descends 784 metres. So where I live I can stand on a hill which 130 metres high look roughly due south and see a mountain range 35km away and behind that see the top of a mountain which is 800 metres high ans 100km away which means by the curvature calculations that NASA and pretty much every geo scientist uses the mountain would have to be 1584 metres high for me to see it...

And please, saying GPS isn't a reliable source is just digging the already pretty deep hole even deeper.

It would be fairly simple to calculate the altitude from the radio signals as there's usually 5 or 6 amateur trackers receiving the signal

And of course GPS does not really exist, it's all faked since, for it to be real there must be satellites in geosynchronous orbit--in space. Space flight as you know, along with every scientific observation that contradicts "flat earth," was faked.  This also makes me wonder how I get my satellite television.

See what I did there?

Here, let me do it again...

Ever heard of google? Ever heard of the ionosphere?

It's not possible at all to bounce radio and t.v. images off the ionosphere.

Also, we never had t.v. images transmitted through a clothes hanger stuck into the back of the t.v. while growing up. And digital broadcasts through the air are not happening now.

So how do you get those images on your little box? Hmm... well try turning off your little box and research.

There is a whole lot of information waiting out there and none exist in your little box you call a t.v.

Are you still wondering how your little dish get images onto your little t.v.?

Clothes hangers.... Clothes hangers... if a clothes hanger 30 years ago obtained reception, and provided a clear picture, I don't see how that little dish is any harder to comprehend.

I'd like to go into further details but I may be off topic. PM me if you'd like to know how your little dish really works.

Put a little metal bowl onto your roof and it must be satellites! It can't be anything else!

Atmospheric refraction just doesnt add up sorry. All these photo examples sure they are a bit misty because where looking a long distance through a lot of air.. but theres no refraction going on at that altitude and no mirages or any kind of Atmospheric refraction.. its just not believable, light doesnt bend uniformly through air in this manner. It just doesnt. Im not a flat earther, im not a heliocentric believer either.
I simply see way too much evidence that tells me that we are been lied to about a lot of things. Apollo landings were obviously faked. We have astronauts falling over and then pretending to be helped up by another astronaught where its clearly obvious the guys on a wire and his buddy has done nothing to help him get up.. just one example.. clearly a lot of NASA imagery is faked. We can see this. So the question is why, and why are they still faking stuff on the ISS?
Im not gona debate any of this because its pointless. No one can convince anyone else of anything on this forum. Because people will believe whatever they want to believe. Thats historical fact. Im just here to say im certain we are been lied to about the curvature of the earth, the size of the earth and moon and sun and also the distance of the sun from the earth.. ive seen myself sun rays bursting through clouds not perpendicular, clearly spreading outwards from a sun close to the earth.
These are just my opinions. I dont care what anyone else thinks. You can debunk me if you want but it wont change my mind unless its really compelling.. saying stuff like its Atmospheric refraction isnt compelling at all to me.
Nicholson Morley and many other have shown that earth is stationary. Gravity is seriously misunderstood. I mean christ the idea that the earth can somehow cause everything on it to "gravitate" to it just because its really big is just plain ridiculous. Never been proven. All theory, no empirical evidence of gravity doing this.. cant be reproduced in any model or laboratory.

Cavendish experiment proves large objects attract smaller objects (noticeably, happens the other way around as well).

Also, you can't have an opinion about facts. It's either true or false, there's no "I think..." hidden in between.

Also, how can you in one single post state that "Moon landing were obviously faked" while complaining about missing empirical evidence and present none yourself? Besides, look up the difference between theory and observation, it appears you don't get the concepts of scientific methodology.

In other news, CERN is currently having measurements evaluated and analyzed for a possible discovery of a new particle. Measurements that can be anything from statistical randomness to the footprint of a particle (Or binary particle) that could prove the existence of gravitons for all we know.

Amazing how science seeks to challenge itself on current knowledge constantly, while religion and sites like this (basically the same thing) don't. At all.

Just commenting to let you know you're not alone and you're not wrong for questioning the status quo. These people here will try to convince you that you, the one who is going against the crowd and popular opinion, are the one confirmation bias. In my opinion it is a spiritual block for some who can't see the lies right in front of their faces. Jesus spoke in parables to allow those who are become awakened to grasp the deeper meanings while those who are superficial well not see even though their eyes are open, or comprehend even though they hear.

It is entirely a waste of time to debate on this forum. Those who are open to your ideas and share your skepticism will be gravitated towards you.

Speaking of gravity, if the earth is many many different layers of various materials, compounds and elements, where exactly does stuff gravitate to? Can the earth be considered a "whole?" If gravitation is the direct magnetic-like force between any two molecules, then why should any molecule travel downward torwards the core of the globe? Are we drawn to the center of the mass as gravity says? How do you determine the center of an amalgamation of matter? If they say gravity is the attraction to the sum of the matter beneath our feet, i.e. the other side of the globe included, that concept would be destroyed by any understanding of fluid dynamics.

The flat earth idea of the horizon is an example and it's so ridiculous it's...well ridiculous.  Anyone call see how false it is, especially where you can see a definite line where sea and sky meet and not "some indistinct blur that fades away at an infinite distance" according to the flat earth definition of the horizon.

Speaking of gravity, if the earth is many many different layers of various materials, compounds and elements, where exactly does stuff gravitate to? Can the earth be considered a "whole?"
While the earth is made up of a number of layers, they are arranged reasonably concentrically.
And yes, to precisely calculate the gravitational attraction between two objects, the sum of the attractions between each element of one and each each element of the other needs to be computed. In the general case that is quite a complicated integral. But a point outside any object with "spherical symmetry" we can lump all of its mass at its centre, hence my "reasonably concentrically" note above.

So to a very good approximation all the mass of the earth can be taken at its "centre of mass".

For complicated objects (that are not too large) on the earth (like people etc) the distance from the parts of the object to the "centre of mass" of the earth varies so little that we can take the force as applying from their "centre of mass".

So put simply for most applications "the earth" can "be considered a whole". There are exceptions to this when very precise gravimetric measurements are being done, for example in the search for minerals found in massive deposits.

The only extra I could add here is that while "any molecule" might be attracted towards the "centre of mass" of the earth, it can't necessarity "travel" there because there are things in the way. The ground is solid enough to stop us moving down, even though gravitation is "pulling us".
Remember that gravitation has been measured between relatively small (compared to the earth) objects numerous times from Cavendish on, and with quite consistent results. Also we see the expected variation with altitude, latitude and the proximity to massive objects.
Any other explanation needs to explain these variations - the "Flat Earth UA" does not!

I don't see where "fluid dynamics" comes into it. If you mean that the oceans sould be attracted too - well they are, and the surface of the ocean does conform to the expected shape. They can't "fall further" because there is the solid ocean floor below them. Some water probably does "leak". If from lakes and rivers this forms our "ground water" (springs, wells and bores) and in general ends up coming back up as steam from volcanoes and geysers.

Maybe you need to expand more on what you meant here.

THE BLACK SUN, 2003 ANTARCTICA PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN BY FRED BRUENJES

(http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0805/antarcticeclipse_bruenjes_big.jpg)

Excuse me guys, I just red a lot of this subject, and I just noticed on this picture, the earth has a negative curve, so maybe the earth IS a sphere but this time we are on the inside of it. So anything we can observe from the universe is just what's in the sphere. But wait no earth is flat I believe you, how could you be wrong? I think we are on the inside of a flat sphere. I think 3rd dimension is an illusion and everything is flat. We don't see everything flat because our eyes are curved(yes they also are flat spheres like the earth) so they make us believe the world is 3D. And by extension, I think there is only one dimension(or maybe none or a negative number, depending on the original eye multidimensionnal line shape).

Also you shouldn't use picture showing the earth NOT curving as this site doesn't accept pictures as proofs, you are not serving the cause doing this. Round earth defenders will respond using their own (fake of course this time) pictures.

Those are the UAFE's rules.

I was the first to systematically use precise photographs and videos in order to prove that there is no curvature at the surface of the Earth.

The reason they initially wanted to dismiss any other photographs was because they did not have at their disposal the precise visual obstacle formulas, or the arguments to demolish any RE "image".

Material of which you produced none.

People do produce pictures of the earth with curvature, like myself. All it takes is a balloon, knowledge of electronics and optics, and some coding skills.

In before claims of CGI/lens aberration.
