Flat Earth Investigations / Re: The decline of critical thinking in the media, exemplified by That Everest Photo

« on: September 21, 2018, 11:14:38 AM »

Ah, now there's a brief breath of fresh air. Metro.co.uk (a large British newspaper run by the same group as perhaps the slightly more internationally-known Daily Mail) have now covered the OP (or at least the Everest photo aspect of it) without attempting to skew what I'm saying, but rather acknowledging the point. On the off-chance that Rob Waugh, the author of the article, sees this: thank you!

And then there's this tabloid who doesn't seem to have understood anything of what I said.

Nice to see an article that looks at both sides. However if it's intelligent and critical thinking your going for I would be careful about linking to these 2 newspapers. The Daily Mail is basically just a tabloid trying to give off an image of a more credible newspaper. It's far closer the The Sun and The Mirror in terms of content and decent journalism. The Metro is a bit better but again I wouldn't put too much stock in it. It's a free newspaper given out on the morning commute. Nothing wrong with that, it's just I know from previous reading the level of journalism that this paper contains.

Flat Earth Investigations / Flying from UK to New Zealand - Possible experiments?

« on: September 21, 2018, 08:56:09 AM »

Hi,

Just thought I would post on here to see if anyone's got any ideas for experiments I could try to help prove/disprove RET/FET?

I'm going to be flying from the UK to New Zealand via Singapore next month so thought this might provide a good opportunity to test some theories. By a happy coincidence (or because my mates an idiot and booked himself on the wrong flight), one of our party will be flying out via Los Angeles on the same day.

So we'll have 2 flights leaving the UK on the same day (think within 4 hours of each other), 1 going to New Zealand via Singapore and the other going to New Zealand via Los Angeles. I think we end up landing within 8 hours of each other.

So anyone got any thoughts on experiments we could try? It's not every day you get to try travelling such long distances and in different directions.

Any thoughts welcome,

Thanks
Steve
