Title: Is the Earth flat? Experiment
Post by: Villi on September 04, 2016, 05:52:14 PM
Hi everyone,
I performed an experiment to test the flat earth theory and got some interesting results. I was wondering what you all think.

Thank you.

It would help a lot if actually put into writing the GPS lat, long of your vantage point and height above lake level of your vantage point and the base (or top) of each tower.

It's a bit hard getting these details from the video.

It shows the earth is exactly flat. But be sure salaried liars don't accept it.  8)

Your calculations appear to be wrong.

Using this calculator (https://dizzib.github.io/earth/curve-calc/?d0=63&h0=75&unit=metric) and your given figures of 75m for the observer height looking at a distance of 63km gives a  target hidden height of around 81m.

You have a lot to learn, just because people disagree with you does not make them wrong or liars!

If you really look around you will find that most of the world's population disagrees with you.

In fact, sometimes people disagree with you because YOU'RE wrong.  Sometimes.  It happens to everybody.

How interesting, you can sit there and claim "it does not turn to the right",
but I can look out my back door and see that the stars including the Southern Cross) do rotate clockwise around a point due south, and about 30° above the horizon.

Now I wonder who is correct?

Can anyone else living in the Southern Hemisphere back me up?

You are saying lie. You open your door and you see the stars rotating around the Polaris.  :) If you do, then prove it. let's go. Why i do accept your lies? Show me a real reason. Accept that you can't  convince me in any way . and you can't get rid of me. so give up to trying to deceive me. It is impossible to do it to me. Because i understand what you trying to do before you try to do it. I do not deal with you and your bosses.

I'm just waiting to system completely fall down. I know i don't need to do something. just i show my side is enough  to sysytem completely down. it's just a matter of timing . In one way or another, you and your bosses will confess the truth.

All this talk about what "the majority" think is beside the point.  "The majority" of people live in the Northern Hemisphere.  "The majority" all see the stars going one way.  But if they've never seen the stars from the southern hemisphere, their opinion on the matter is largely irrelevant.  I bet a lot of us have opinions about Turkey too, but since "the majority" of us have never been to Turkey, who cares what our opinion is?
It has been said over and over,
and I will repeat it again for those of you just joining us:
Polaris is not visible from Australia
The stars above Rabinoz's location are the Southern Hemisphere stars, not the Northern Hemisphere stars, and a lot of digital green ink (http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Green_ink) has been spilled by your fellow FE proponents in a vain attempt to explain the FACT (which they acknowledge, to their credit) that in the Southern Hemisphere the stars rotate the other way.  Something about gears and two different celestial systems, it's all very confusing and ultimately unconvincing.

Accept that you can't  convince me in any way . and you can't get rid of me.
Oh, we know.  We're not really trying to change YOUR mind (I'm not, anyway) but instead trying to demonstrate to others that you are wrong so they don't follow your path.

I do not deal with you and your bosses....it's just a matter of timing . In one way or another, you and your bosses will confess the truth.
This again?  What "bosses" do you imagine us having?

Thank you.

You also have to account for the Earth not being a perfect sphere.

Intikam, can you explain to us why you can not see the shorter buildings beside the taller buildings since they are the same distance away? If the earth were flat you would have seen the shorter buildings as well.

Rounder, I am a Southern hemispherer, and yes the Southern Cross is clearly visible and rotating clockwise around the South Star, Cygma Octantus as I type this here in South Africa. Intikam will never believe anything from anyone in the Southern Hemisphere since we are all brainwashed!

However can you have the Southern Cross rotating clockwise around a point due South of South Africa?
I.know for a fact that it does that from here in Australia!
;D ;D And we know that the SCP must be in completely different directions from South Africa and Australia.  ;D ;D

@Villi, to resolve issues and comments raised to discredit your experiment shown in the video, may I suggest that you add at least 50% to your distance from the tower or double the distance if it's possible, and better use, if you have, much powerful zooming camera or telescopic camera, and show us again your result in video. If you really can still see the tower, I think GEs couldn't anymore debunk or disprove it using mirage, refraction, global shape irregularity or whatever known explanation they can think of as it would just doesn't make sense anymore.

And you can be the man who people or we can count on of having made an irrefutable proof that curvature doesn't exist. This is what I meant by next level reasoning and proof. Anyway, do something to do what is suggested here, or FEs and GEs will endlessly engage in useless debates without something really concrete arrived at. Be a truth seeker, and continue to be one until you can prove to all what the earth really is, FE or GE? It doesn't matter which one, the most important thing is that we know what it is in reality... the truth will eventually be known by all.... good luck! :)

This already proves that you cannot see any small buildings and only the top bits of the tall buildings without us knowing the exact height above lake-level the video was taken. Try the same with the camera a few feet above the lake level, and see if you can still see the buildings. Results should be interesting!

There is no "South Star". It's just a coincidence that there happens to be a bright star (Polaris) close to the Celestial North Pole. The Southern Hemisphere isn't so lucky. The only star that comes close is Sigma Octans, which is 1 degree away from the South Celestial Pole.Jun 27, 2015

I love the way he 'ignores' people for interrupting a public debate! Perhaps he needs to start up his own website with individual conversations. Then it would be much less disruptive here.

It would be much less disruptive THERE as well, since nobody would be allowed to speak except him.
