Title: Damning evidence against the heliocentric model...
Post by: totallackey on January 14, 2018, 10:40:58 PM
would be the lack of a CGI rendering of the complete model, along with a detailed release of all inputs used for creating the model.

Those inputs used for creating the model would need to minimally include Kepler's Laws of planetary motion and Newton's Laws of motion and universal gravitation and account for the Laws of Thermodynamics.

Does anyone have such a model, open for inspection?

How are you defining "complete"? Just the sun and planets? Planets and moons?

Just to say. You're on pretty shaky ground here, champ, when FE doesn't even have an agreed map, let alone model of the solar system which works on any level.

Why do you call it the solar system anyway? If it's just the earth in a dome then the sun is just one of the things circling above us.

Complete as in complete.

Pick up a science textbook and they will have a description of the Solar System. That description will include the current location in the Milky Way, path of travel in the Milky Way, rate of travel in the Milky Way, etc...
Just to say. You're on pretty shaky ground here, champ, when FE doesn't even have an agreed map, let alone model of the solar system which works on any level.
Why would FE make a model of the Solar System?

That would be the purview of helio-centrists.

I am unaware of a person supporting FE who subsribes to helio-centricity.

Since when is there an agreed upon map among RE-tards?
Why do you call it the solar system anyway? If it's just the earth in a dome then the sun is just one of the things circling above us.
So you would know to what it is that I am referencing.

For a computer model of the solar system, see solarsystemscope.com (http://solarsystemscope.com). This can run on a phone.

When you start looking into movement through the Milky Way, and you want modeling of, say, how this would change the visible night sky or orbits of visible objects, you need a computer model of the galaxy. (http://www.popularmechanics.com/space/news/a22782/most-detailed-computer-galaxy/) This will run on a supercomputer.

Paper is linked here. (http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20160906-220609945) They simulated the formation of the Milky Way to test their model w.r.t. getting an accurate number of neighboring dwarf galaxies in the simulation, with a long-term goal of mapping the whole galaxy. Click around in there to find a link to the code library they used and the rest of the methodology.

And, I'm out

Before computers existed such a model would have been impossible, right?

Such models exist now, to certain levels of detail. If no model was possible before computers, and now some models exist but are incomplete due to computation limits, then all you are doing is painting yourself into a corner. As better models are made you will continually lose ground.

So, tell us what's wrong with the models linked here, and what the equivalent flat Earth model is. Where are your computer simulations?

Before that, the models were clockwork devices called orrery (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orrery).  For example, from 1568:

Yeah, it could run in the Olympics too, but what difference does that make if there are no references to Kepler and Newton formulas in its formation.

Plus, planet revolutionary renderings appear to be circles.

Fine, it will run on a supercomputer.

I cannot believe you wrote these two words..."computation limits" my ass.

Kepler and Newton equations and formulas for how things move in the Solar System was done with paper and pencil from the beginning...

Try thinking things through before you post.

I don't.

The flat earth model is not the topic of conversation.

RE-tard science is the topic.

What purpose does such a model to the accuracy you are demanding serve? I can't think of any. So why would it exist, regardless of being possible or not? A CGI rendering like you describe is probably a years worth or more of man hours. So why would it exist? If you can answer that question, it might be possible to find.

As an aside, I highly doubt anything of this sort will come out and list Newton or Kepler. You'll have to look for their influence in the math.

What motion of the sun? It's a mechanical simulation of the motion of the inner planets in the heliocentric solar system. Heliocentric means "sun centred".

That is a direct "yes or no" question.

If the answer is yes, then does that CGI model base the inputs for the rendering on the known equations and formulas provided by Kepler and Newton?

That, too, is a direct "yes or no" question.

Okay, Newton and Kepler not required evidently, according to you...

Why is CGI necessary? CGI is expensive and hard to do, that's why movies cost millions of dollars to make. If we have a description of what the CGI should look like, why isn't that enough?

The link from Rama Set is such a thing.

It probably doesn't explicitly use the words "Newton" and "Kepler" any more than you do when you are driving, despite the fact that you are obeying Newton's laws. You use the equations, you don't invoke the names as if they are some religious chant.

Such a model would exist because we have the technology to produce it.

Such a model would exist because it is accepted science.

It would list Kepler and Newton because they are the persons credited as being behind the fundamental science our knowledge of planetary motion and proper etiquette demands credit be given to those providing the base of research or presentation.
You've basically created a straw man to attack with no evidence your own claims are correct. Enjoy getting to pretend you've won I guess?
Nope.

How are you defining "complete"? Just the sun and planets? Planets and moons?
Complete as in complete.

This is the problem; there is rarely any such thing in science. Tried really hard to convey this to you in another thread, with respect to the meaning of the term "uncertainty" in a scientific context, but maybe it didn't sink in.

We can only be as certain about our measurements as the tools we use to take those measurements. We don't have a tool with infinite precision, so there will always be some discrepancy, however small.

Just think of an inch ruler. Now go down to half inches. Now quarter. Eighth, one sixteenth, one thirty-second, one sixy-fourth, and so on. Just as the cosmos on a macro scale expands infinitely outward, so too do the micro cosmos shrink infinitely inward.

So again, you need to define your terms. How "complete" is "complete?" What level of discrepancy would you accept? At what point, from earth out into deep space, would you be satisfied to say, "Okay, we can stop here, this is accurate enough for us to call it samesies."

What about the current CGI representations? Did they cost "millions of dollars to make?"

Are you simply happy with those because they present what accepted science declares the heliocentric model looks like?

No, it is not enough.
The link from Rama Set is such a thing.
There was a working CGI model, based on the works of Kepler and Newton, in there?

Where?

If it is there, point it out and end the argument.

Really quite simple.
It probably doesn't explicitly use the words "Newton" and "Kepler" any more than you do when you are driving, despite the fact that you are obeying Newton's laws. You use the equations, you don't invoke the names as if they are some religious chant.

I will get them to a software engineer capable of entering them into a computer to render the results.

Newton found Kepler's work to be unambiguous and provided support.

Scientists today find both unambiguous and credit them when releasing information in textbooks and papers.

Seems accurate enough to me.

So, complete as in complete.

There are CGI representations a plenty out there.

None fit the bill when it comes to actually modeling the Sun's movement in terms of revolutions, with planets in tow, about the Milky Way.

So far, efforts to accurately model the movement are bupkus.

Don't blame me for pointing this out.

Willing to be proven wrong, but I don't think it's as unambiguous as you say.

Granted, I'm not saying it's "unreliable," it just seems to me like you're describing it in terms we could call 100% concrete or 100% certain... which is simply not accurate. Just like in the other thread when you claimed how scientists say they have "all the math" or "all the answers," as I deduced you meant, if you're using the same context here, I can say with 99.999999% "certainty" that you're mistaken... Get it?

Anyway, I'll get back to you tonight about the trig function and how it measures the earth's curvature inaccurately - not nearly as inaccurate as your claims about science, but that's another conversation - but we can hash out this claim about the mathematics behind the movements of celestial bodies afterwards.

I happen to agree that scientists do not know anything when it comes to something they  cannot actually put their hands on, but I am not the one preaching the gospel like NdGT or Bill Nye, nor am I the one stating textbooks are factual.

They are and they behave as if they are gods walking amongst insects.

And the most they generally have to offer, when hard pressed, is a condescending, "Take our word for it," or some other form of BS answer.

No. What you could do is walk me through whatever gymnastics you just did in your head to go from, “science is not 100% certain” to “we can just throw out Kepler and Newton all together, we don’t need that bullshit.” I get lost between those two statements, help me out.

Once more, with feeling this time. Walk me through how you got from MY words to YOURS. I’m not really seeing the equivalence. Help me see where you’re coming from.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH that helps.

See, it’s pretty obvious you have a massive chip on your shoulder when it comes to scientists and how they engage with the public. I will concede to you that they haven’t always done a good job - Hell, I’ll go further, they done fucked up if THIS is the result we find ourselves with - but you clearly don’t understand that science IS agnostic.

I’m sorry. I know you have a charicature in your head of how scientists are and you make certain assumptions about how they do their work, but you’re just wrong. I explained how and why a few times now, but rather than address my objections, you ignore them, double down on the previous claim, and then show everyone here the underbelly of your victim complex.

Climb down off the cross and stop straw-manning me and the topic of science. As I said in another thread, if you’re going to criticize scientists for how they do science, the least you could do is try to represent both subjects accurately. Anything less shows either a willingness to straw-man your opponent with incomplete, inaccurate representations of their position, or a complete lack of comprehension, or both. Your responses so far make you a strong candidate for the latter, by my reckoning.

Not gonna argue with you any further on this point, just wanted to make it clear that you’ve got a bone to pick with science and it has totally skewed your perception to the point that you are haphazardly over-simplifying really important distinctions like the difference between “not 100% certain” and just winging it for shits and giggles.

I don’t expect my words alone to unravel your bald-faced bias and willingness to misunderstand or misrepresent the opponent position, but I felt it needed to be pointed out. Everyone has bias, but you’re really not trying to compensate for that, at all, if you’re gonna argue the way you have been.

So no, you have no credible idea why such a model would exist...
Yes I do have a credible idea about why such a model would exist.

Such a model would exist because we have the technology to produce it.

Such a model would exist because it is accepted science. 
...and don't seem to understand why such a model wouldn't necessarily come out and list Kepler and Newton explicitly.
It would list Kepler and Newton because they are the persons credited as being behind the fundamental science our knowledge of planetary motion and proper etiquette demands credit be given to those providing the base of research or presentation.
You've basically created a straw man to attack with no evidence your own claims are correct. Enjoy getting to pretend you've won I guess?
Nope.

Just want the model for examination.
I asked what the purpose of creating such an accurate CGI model would be. You answered 'because'. A project to the accuracy and size you are requesting would cost hundreds, if not thousands of man hours of work to create. Such an endeavor requires funding, getting that funding requires a reason. Simply saying "Because it should exist!" is not a reason for investors to fund the project, nor for most people to wish to make it. The scientific community at large also has no desire to make it to 'prove Kepler/Newton right' because they already have been for as far/much as their laws cover.

I highly doubt what you're asking for is impossible. I DO however doubt anyone would desire to spend the money/time to create it to the standards you are demanding. Because there's no practical purpose for such a thing.

This is why most will take a shortcut of some kind to reduce the math and effort needed to create something. Like the one from the other thread that assumed circular orbits (most orbits aren't all that far off being circles anyway, Earth for example only has a 0.0167 eccentricity) to reduce calculations needed and make the creation of the model easier.

Why "would be the lack of a CGI rendering of the complete model, along with a detailed release of all inputs used for creating the model" be "Damning evidence against the heliocentric model"?

Quote from: totallackey

Planetary motion, at least to a very good approximation, follows Newton's Laws of Motion and Universal Gravitation.
Einstein's GR does cause the orbits to have slightly more precession than predicted by Newton's laws.
As far as I know, the only planet where the change is above measurement error is Mercury.

Willing to be proven wrong, but I don't think it's as unambiguous as you say.

Okay, am I to place you on record as writing something to the equivalent of: "It is not necessary to include the Laws of Thermodynamics and the Laws of planetary motion when rendering a CGI of the Solar System."?

No. What you could do is walk me through whatever gymnastics you just did in your head to go from, “science is not 100% certain” to “we can just throw out Kepler and Newton all together, we don’t need that bullshit.” I get lost between those two statements, help me out.
If that is not what you meant, then that is not what you meant.

That is why I wrote the question.
Granted, I'm not saying it's "unreliable," it just seems to me like you're describing it in terms we could call 100% concrete or 100% certain... which is simply not accurate.
Newton was wrong in his Laws of motion?

Kepler's Laws of planetary motion are wrong?

Once more, with feeling this time. Walk me through how you got from MY words to YOURS. I’m not really seeing the equivalence. Help me see where you’re coming from.
You think you identified "where I am coming from..." ( as if that matters to the OP), as you relate in the following treatise, essentially telling me to "eat shit and die."
Just like in the other thread when you claimed how scientists say they have "all the math" or "all the answers," as I deduced you meant, if you're using the same context here, I can say with 99.999999% "certainty" that you're mistaken... Get it?
I happen to agree that scientists do not know anything when it comes to something they  cannot actually put their hands on, but I am not the one preaching the gospel like NdGT or Bill Nye, nor am I the one stating textbooks are factual.

They are and they behave as if they are gods walking amongst insects.

And the most they generally have to offer, when hard pressed, is a condescending, "Take our word for it," or some other form of BS answer.

That is my opinion on that specific matter.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH that helps.
No, it does not help the OP.

It merely gives you cause to begin your turn in the role of NdGT or Bill Nye as we shall see.
See, it’s pretty obvious you have a massive chip on your shoulder when it comes to scientists and how they engage with the public. I will concede to you that they haven’t always done a good job - Hell, I’ll go further, they done fucked up if THIS is the result we find ourselves with - but you clearly don’t understand that science IS agnostic.
No, science is not agnostic in my opinion.

And your statement is just as subjective as mine and your statement or views about science or scientists will always remain as just as subjective as mine.
I’m sorry. I know you have a charicature in your head of how scientists are and you make certain assumptions about how they do their work, but you’re just wrong.
And you have your caricature in your head... to which I will leave you at peace.

And here, with this statement: "I will concede to you that they haven’t always done a good job...:" you acknowledge my caricature of science and how scientists behave is correct at times.
...with at least I explained how and why a few times now, but rather than address my objections, you ignore them, double down on the previous claim, and then show everyone here the underbelly of your victim complex.
Funny...I do not feel victimized.
Climb down off the cross and stop straw-manning me and the topic of science.
I will, just as soon as you promise to stop playing Freud, stick to the OP, and stop trying to bury this OP behind a wall of text.
As I said in another thread, if you’re going to criticize scientists for how they do science, the least you could do is try to represent both subjects accurately. Anything less shows either a willingness to straw-man your opponent with incomplete, inaccurate representations of their position, or a complete lack of comprehension, or both. Your responses so far make you a strong candidate for the latter, by my reckoning.
POT MEET KETTLE!
Massive wall of additional off-topic rant
Good.
I don’t expect my words alone to unravel your bald-faced bias and willingness to misunderstand or misrepresent the opponent position, but I felt it needed to be pointed out. Everyone has bias, but you’re really not trying to compensate for that, at all, if you’re gonna argue the way you have been.

And as predicted you close with the proverbial, "eat shit and die..."

And, if I get the model I asked for examination, that will end the argument.

So, repeating the OP as to not allow the usual tactics utilized by the typical suspects:
Damning evidence against the heliocentric model...
would be the lack of a CGI rendering of the complete model, along with a detailed release of all inputs used for creating the model.

Those inputs used for creating the model would need to minimally include Kepler's Laws of planetary motion and Newton's Laws of motion and gravity.

  • "Kepler's Laws of planetary motion" are not laws that govern the motion of planets. They were only an approximation.
  • There is no "Newton's Law of Thermodynamics", so it could not include that. There are Newton's Laws of Motion.
  • There is no "Newton's Law of gravity", so it could not include that. The is a Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, not quite the same thing!

How is the lack of a CGI model damning evidence of a heliocentric model?

If there are no CGI models, it only proves that nobody has done the work.

If you claim there are no mathematical models, then how would that prove that heliocentric is false, either? Wouldn't it merely mean that it hasn't been proven? Is that what you mean by damning? You are saying there is an x percentage chance that heliocentric is false? If so, then you admit it is mathematically possible that heliocentric is true?

Oh, wait, you also have another option that you don't believe in mathematics (or physics), which, shockingly enough, might actually be possible with you Total Lackey.

If you can talk yourself off the ledge and admit that it is possible that the planets revolve around the sun, then you are being reasonable. If you explicitly believe that it is literally impossible that the planets revolve around the sun, then you are being unreasonable and ignoring a significant amount of science in order to convince yourself that you're right.

Am I to take it you are writing on behalf of the entire "agnostic," scientific community when you write that Newton/Kepler have been,"proven right for as far/much as their laws cover."

If that is not what you meant, then that is not what you meant.

That is why I wrote the question.

You wrote the question with either a circumstantial misunderstanding of what I meant or a willful misunderstanding of what I meant. I'm trying to figure out which. Did you just not understand what I meant, or were you trying to twist my words in order to straw-man?

Again, I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but even if your question doesn't fully explain your intentions, what it does tell me is that you don't understand what I'm talking about... and conversely, what you're talking about.

Once more, with feeling this time. Walk me through how you got from MY words to YOURS. I’m not really seeing the equivalence. Help me see where you’re coming from.
You think you identified "where I am coming from..." ( as if that matters to the OP), as you relate in the following treatise, essentially telling me to "eat shit and die."

Again, please, climb down from the cross. I'm not attacking you personally, I'm telling you you're mistaken because of what you are saying not because of who you are as a person.

Remember that piece I put in spoiler text? I was trying to be real with you, dude. I'm not here to disparage or berate you, but I don't know what you want me to do; I'm trying to tell you that you have no fucking idea what you're talking about. Like Ricky Gervais to Karl Pilkington, "DON'T TALK SHIT."

I don't know how exactly you expect anyone to convey that to you, honestly, in a way that doesn't make you feel like you're being told to "eat shit and die," but maybe you should try and develop some emotional maturity and get over yourself, if that's how you take criticism.

I really don't give a Darwinian monkey's uncle about you or your personal life, I'm really just concerned about the amount of ignorant shit spewing out of your mouth like a blown spigot running out of Shit's Creek. I'm not telling you to eat shit and die, lackey, that would just make a bad situation worse. Rather, I'm trying to help you clean up what's already there. I'm concerned about your mental hygiene.

Stop making this about you and me, and me telling you to "eat shit and die."

No, it does not help the OP.

I'm flattered you think I begin to compare to them, but yes, it does help. It helps me and anyone else reading understand where you're coming from, which explains the willingness to ignore sound reasoning, appeal to a lack of contrary evidence, put forward circular arguments, and straw-man your opponent.

You aren't here to teach and be taught, you're here to dig in your heels and fight stubbornly until you retreat from the thread, or we do. At this point, I think I can say conclusively that this is a complete waste of everyone's time.

But still, I'ma humor you, because I don't want to believe that this is a waste of everyone's time. I want to believe that you're not as stubborn and unwilling to see reason as you seem... but even I can't deny what's in front of me, after enough squinting and peering and careful scrutinizing.

Either way, lemme break it down for you:

The "haven't always" part is what you're glossing over. Just because I acknowledge that scientists can make mistakes doesn't mean I'm agreeing with your characterization, which goes much further than mine.

"Eat shit and die?" Jesus Christ, lackey, did I hurt your feelings? I'm really not trying to. Grow up. Again, I defer to what I said before about sugarcoating it. idk wtf you want me to say or how you want me to say it, but either way, climb down off your fucking cross and try to have a productive conversation for once.

How the fuck are we supposed to talk about the OP at all when every other reply from you attempts to rephrase and simplify your opponent's words into a shape you can more easily dismiss?

Your evidence for that claim, Mr Totallackey!
Any astronomer or cosmologist worth his salt knows that Kepler’s laws are only an approximation. I am neither and I know that!

Quote from: Jean Tate
Astronomy, KEPLER’S LAW
Kepler’s laws have an important place in the history of astronomy, cosmology, and science in general. They marked a key step in the revolution which moved the center of the universe from the Earth (geocentric cosmology) to the Sun (heliocentric), and they laid the foundation for the unification of heaven and earth, by Newton, a century later (before Newton the rules, or laws, which governed celestial phenomena were widely believed to be disconnected with those controlling things which happened on Earth; Newton showed – with his universal law of gravitation – that the same law rules both heaven and earth).

Although Kepler’s laws are only an approximation – they are exact, in classical physics, only for a planetary system of just one planet (and then the focus is the baricenter, not the Sun) – for systems in which one object dominates, mass-wise, they are a good approximation.

See rest at: Universe Today, Kepler's Laws (https://www.universetoday.com/55423/keplers-law/)

They marked a key step in the revolution which moved the center of the universe from the Earth (geocentric cosmology) to the Sun (heliocentric), and they laid the foundation for the unification of heaven and earth, by Newton, a century later (before Newton the rules, or laws, which governed celestial phenomena were widely believed to be disconnected with those controlling things which happened on Earth; Newton showed – with his universal law of gravitation – that the same law rules both heaven and earth).

Although Kepler’s laws are only an approximation – they are exact, in classical physics, only for a planetary system of just one planet (and then the focus is the baricenter, not the Sun) – for systems in which one object dominates, mass-wise, they are a good approximation.

You do seem to be ignoring those wise words from Mark Twain.
One who shall forever remain nameless said you were "the flat Earth version of an angry noob"! Keep it up.
No, I do not want to try again.

Kepler's Laws are exact, as your source states.

Again, repeating the OP:

"Damning evidence against the heliocentric model...
would be the lack of a CGI rendering of the complete model, along with a detailed release of all inputs used for creating the model.

Those inputs used for creating the model would need to minimally include Kepler's Laws of planetary motion and Newton's Laws of motion and universal gravitation and account for the Laws of Thermodynamics.

Does anyone have such a model, open for inspection?"

If you do not have a model for submission, then please refrain from posting.

Why do you think this is "damning evidence", even though plenty of models exists, when there is no model or even agreed map of a flat earth which even begins to match observations.
Is that not "damning evidence" against a flat earth?

Your evidence for that claim, Mr Totallackey!
Any astronomer or cosmologist worth his salt knows that Kepler’s laws are only an approximation. I am neither and I know that!

Kepler's Laws "are exact . . . . . . . only for a planetary system of just one planet".
At last count the solar system had 8 planets, 5 named dwarf planets, probable 100 more dwarf planets, an uncountable number of asteroids, hundreds of thousands objects in the Kuiper Belt and periodic and random comets -  :D that's a few more than one planet :D!

So, for an accurate simulation of the whole solar system Kepler's Laws are not exact, just an approximation.
For example, the orbits of Neptune and Pluto do not obey Kepler's Laws. You could say that Neptune and Pluto "play leap-frog".

Also, you might find an accurate implementation of this simulation would need an awesome amount of computing power and all for nothing.

Care to restate your requirements. Kepler's laws are totally unnecessary as Newton's Laws of Motion and Universal Gravitation covers them and more.

Nope.

Gonna maintain the current OP.

The model will need to start somewhere with just one orbit of one planet and it will also need to have Kepler in relation to the Earth/Moon system.

So, in keeping with the Kepler requirement, we can see how the model is further compiled, now adding Newton.

No offense, but you've been moving the goal post every time someone posts a model.

You make objections like, "it's not exact," when the fact is that the math has never been exact, only an approximation.

Even if that approximation is accurate to .00000000-whatever nth of a percent, it's still TECHNICALLY an approximation, despite having such a small deviation. A small deviation like that means we have a high level of "CONFIDENCE" in how accurate this approximation is. That's a statistics term, "confidence," that I'm sure you remember from community college (that's not a dig, I did two years of local community college for my AA).

You ever drive a car or step on an airplane? The odds of you stepping out of either vehicle alive are WAY WORSE than the confidence we have in these approximations, but I don't see you advocating against the Department of Transportation the way you do NASA.

From what I can tell, this is what he's looking for.

1. Must show full solar system to full accuracy. Slightly oval orbits, spinning sun, spinning planets, spinning moons. The whole shebang.
2. Must show solar system movement within Milky Way galaxy. In relation to other systems, movement of spiral, etc.
3. Must explicitly call out both Newton and Kepler as being sources for equations being used in the creation of said model.
4. Must provide full math for how the model was created.
5. Source can be anyone.

If you can vet this list I'm sure it would be appreciated/helpful for others, regardless of my personal feelings on how improbable the existence of such a rendering is.

2. Given that we are still working on a map of the galaxy, it's not clear to me how to have a model.
https://www.nasa.gov/jpl/charting-the-milky-way-from-the-inside-out

So you have two competing world views:
- Round earth, with accurate maps of the earth, accurate models of the solar system, and not yet an accurate map of the galaxy.
- Flat earth, with no accurate maps of the earth, crazy "shadow object" ideas and no model of the solar system, and galaxies don't exist.

I find it interesting that if Round Earth fails to predict the exact trajectory of a flea jumping off a gnat's butt on Europa you jump all over it, but it doesn't bother you that flat earth theory can't even help you figure out how people can fly from Johannesburg to Sydney non-stop. Which they do, every day.

As I have repeatedly stated, an accurate model would not obey "Kepler's Laws of planetary motion" because they are only approximations.
And as I have stated before,  the orbits of Neptune and Pluto clearly do not obey "Kepler's Laws of planetary motion".

I just registered and am not sure if this is the correct place to post something.
My name is Gregory Wiseman and I was one of the crew on the 2014 NASA expedition to the ISS.  My daughter told me about this society earlier today and I am honeslty intrigued.   I am not sure if the members here are truly in the pursuit of knowledge or just having fun but if it is the former then I am happy to share my personal experiences. 
Having spent a little over three months in earths orbit I can tell you all that we live on a stunningly beautiful planet and the earth I can assure you is perfectly round.  So perfectly round that if you shrunk it to the size of a billiard ball, it would be infinitely smoother in your hand than an actual cue ball.  I've been fortunate to view the earth with my own eyes from the heavens of the ISS and our planet is no different than any other, it is round just like a globe.
I'd be happy to answer an questions if they are sincere and hope you all will continue a lifetime of learning.

Oooh someone who actually went to the ISS -- I guess if you were a Flat Earther we'd call you insane.

A few questions:

Part 1 -- easy explanations, please
1. What do you think about the Flat Earth hypothesis that the Sun is 32 miles wide and 3000 miles above the Earth? What evidence do you think is most convincing to Flat Earthers? I've tried the nuclear fusion argument but that got derailed very quickly (some flatties proposed that the Sun burns hydrogen with oxygen and others said it was ... electric smh).
2. Can you explain in a simple way why the existence of the International Space Station proves the roundness of the Earth without resorting to photographic evidence? (The orbit)
3. Can you describe an easy-to-conduct experiment that would prove the existence of gravity as opposed to universal acceleration (and the 10000 other different forces that FE people invent to account for observed differences by latitude, orbits of celestial bodies, the Cavendish experiment, Foucault pendulums, etc)?
4. Can you explain concisely to a bunch of flatties why aircraft don't have to account for the curvature of the Earth?

Part 2 -- opinion-based
5. Why do you think people like those in the Flat Earth Society distrust  scientists and science so much? Is it their fault, or is science just that hard to grasp?
6. Why do you think is the best way to remedy such ignorance?
7. Do you think the Flat Earth movement is just a more extreme manifestation of science denial that takes place in society today (anti-vaxxers, evolution, homeopathy, climate change, etc)?
8. Does it make you disappointed/angry when people who don't know anything about basic physics/math/chemistry (Tom Bishop, a "Zetetic Council Member," has asserted that pi = 4, 2+2 \neq 4, garlic cures cancer, that Foucault pendulums are affected by the distant stars, and that centripetal acceleration at the equator isn't normal to the Earth's surface) call the work that NASA does fake?
9. What's the best way to convey the magnitude, complexities, and specialization of current scientific work, so that these people realize that the trivial disproofs they come up with have already been thought of and debunked decades ago?
10. What's the best career path from undergraduate student to flying in space?


Also, I'll sum up a lot of FE theory for you, so we don't get the inevitable person spouting garbage about how you didn't address their arguments:
1. The Earth is a flat non-spinning disk with the azimuthal equidistant projection of the globe representing reality (although they can't agree on a map, this is the model they refer to).
2. Gravity doesn't exist; the Earth is accelerating in a direction normal to its surface known as "up" at 9.8 m/s^2.
3. The observed variations in gravitational acceleration come from a proposed form of "gravitation" (which is different from gravity; just think of the flatties' definition of "gravitation" as "invisible ").
4. All forms of the Coriolis effect are caused by some other form of "gravitation" produced by the stars, and they won't debate this with you.
5. The Sun, Moon, and any manmade satellites (if they acknowledge them, since there's a rift about this) orbit in circles above the Earth.
6. We are "shielded" from the invisible acceleration by the Earth's mass. By Einstein's equivalence principle, this and #2 mean that we can think of ourselves as the only things in Earth's neighborhood affected by an invisible  "downward" force.
7. There is no curvature of the horizon (even if there is)
8. All of the occlusions of the buildings and ships and other such things are due to "perspective" and/or "distortion" (although it has been demonstrated that the lead flatties know nothing about optics)
9. The horizon always stays at eye level (blatantly false)
10. We see further as we get higher up because of "perspective," "distortion," or "particulates" (more in lower parts) in the atmosphere.
11. Day and night are because the Sun has a magical lampshade that casts a "spotlight" on Earth.
12. NASA photos are fake.
13. Amateur rocketry uses "fisheye" lenses that make the Earth appear to be curved.
14. They don't understand spherical geometry, so the distance/angles argument is still a work in progress.

I just registered and am not sure if this is the correct place to post something.
My name is Gregory Wiseman and I was one of the crew on the 2014 NASA expedition to the ISS.  My daughter told me about this society earlier today and I am honeslty intrigued.   I am not sure if the members here are truly in the pursuit of knowledge or just having fun but if it is the former then I am happy to share my personal experiences. 
Having spent a little over three months in earths orbit I can tell you all that we live on a stunningly beautiful planet and the earth I can assure you is perfectly round.  So perfectly round that if you shrunk it to the size of a billiard ball, it would be infinitely smoother in your hand than an actual cue ball.  I've been fortunate to view the earth with my own eyes from the heavens of the ISS and our planet is no different than any other, it is round just like a globe.
I'd be happy to answer an questions if they are sincere and hope you all will continue a lifetime of learning.

Is there any way at all you can verify who you are? This kind of primary sourcing sounds too good to be true, if you’ll pardon my meaning.

Repeating the OP:
"Damning evidence against the heliocentric model...
would be the lack of a CGI rendering of the complete model, along with a detailed release of all inputs used for creating the model.

Those inputs used for creating the model would need to minimally include Kepler's Laws of planetary motion and Newton's Laws of motion and universal gravitation and account for the Laws of Thermodynamics.

Does anyone have such a model, open for inspection?"

If you do not have a model for submission, then please refrain from posting.

First-hand observation of a heliocentric solar system is better than a computer simulation. Also, if he is in space then that is proof that Newtonian mechanics correctly model the solar system since they are used for calculations to get in to orbit.

Whether or not the poster is “fake news” or not is the pertinent question.

<< deceitfully edited quotation deleted >>
So you finally admit I was right and cannot refute this:
Repeating the OP:
"Damning evidence against the heliocentric model...
would be the lack of a CGI rendering of the complete model, along with a detailed release of all inputs used for creating the model."
No, it would not be "Damning evidence against the heliocentric model"!

Quote from: totallackey
"Those inputs used for creating the model would need to minimally include Kepler's Laws of planetary motion"
As I have repeatedly stated, an accurate model would not obey "Kepler's Laws of planetary motion" because they are only approximations.
And as I have stated before,  the orbits of Neptune and Pluto clearly do not obey "Kepler's Laws of planetary motion".

So, your OP is still obviously flawed!  Try again!

Personal editorial about the way the OP is phrased snipped.
You can start your own editorial elsewhere if you like.

The OP is asking for a CGI rendering of the Solar System:

Stop doing that. If you want to report a post because you believe it breaks the rules, then just report it. It isn't necessary to announce it as it can only serve to further derail a thread.


EDIT - I am locking this thread since you children can't seem to behave.

totallackey, have a few days vacation to cool off. If you come back, stop intentionally antagonizing people and posting in bad faith. The quote function is intended just for that, not for you to editorialize someone's words. Using it to shorten someone's point is fine, but what you are doing is not acceptable in the upper fora.
